That’s it. It’s over. The 2025 New York Mets are officially done for the year. Heading into Miami with their destiny in their own hands, the Mets fumbled the bag in the biggest way possible. They lost two out of three to the Marlins to miss out on the playoffs. While this team has been imploding for the last three-plus months, the way events unfolded this weekend will likely leave a...
Clay Holmes picked the perfect time to have arguably his best start of the year, tossing six scoreless innings of one-hit ball to ensure that the New York Mets have something to play for on the final day of the regular season. “He was just attacking the zone,” Pete Alonso said after the 5-0 victory in Miami. “I mean he was unbelievable. Unbelievable at executing pitches. He had...
Good morning, Mets fans. The Mets (82-78) fell to the Marlins (78-82) 6-2 Friday night. New York got out to a 2-0 lead just four batters into the game but couldn’t muster up any offense afterwards. The team’s sloppy defense continued, and it contributed greatly to a six-run fifth inning for the Marlins that put the game to bed. Meanwhile, the Reds (82-78) won their game over the...
The New York Mets now have three games left for all the marbles. After coming up clutch to take two out of three in Chicago, the Mets go into the final weekend of the regular season knowing what they need to do. Just win and take care of business in Miami. That’s easier said than done given this team’s history against the Marlins. But, with that said, the Mets did just grind out two...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets fell 10-3 to the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, as they struggled against Cubs starter Matthew Boyd. Francisco Alvarez was a bright spot with a massive two-run homer, and Juan Soto added a solo shot in the eighth, but the Mets couldn’t overcome the Cubs’ early offensive outburst. Seiya Suzuki, Moisés Ballesteros and Matt Shaw led Chicago’s offense, with...
If the Mets are going to make the playoffs, they will likely need to fix the things that went wrong in the two losses over the weekend to Washington. (They will also, of course, need the Reds to lose at least once.) New York committed four errors in the defeats, went 4-for-21 with runners in scoring position and manager Carlos Mendoza didn’t show the urgency you’d expect in a tight...
Okay, things are starting to look really, really, really bad for the New York Mets now. After dropping two out of three to the lowly Nationals over the weekend, the Mets are on the outside in. They are officially out of playoff position for the first time since April 5. And, with the Reds owning the tiebreaker, the Mets don’t exactly have their own destiny in their hands anymore with just...
The Mets’ grip on the postseason is fading fast. Sunday’s 3-2 loss to the Nationals was their 11th defeat in the last 15 games, and this one carried more weight than most. It dropped them into a tie with the Reds at 80-76 for the final NL Wild Card spot. The catch? Cincinnati owns the tiebreaker, leaving New York on the outside looking in. The Diamondbacks (79-77) lurk just one game back, while...
Good morning, Mets fans! Tip of the cap to Jacob Young. The Mets had been in control of a playoff spot every day since April 5, when they were 5-3. Not anymore. In front of a sellout crowd, New York lost its final home game of the regular season 3-2 to the last-place Washington Nationals. Meanwhile, the Reds beat the Cubs 1-0 to pull into a tie with the Mets (80-76) for the final Wild Card spot...
Things are looking a little bit better for the New York Mets. With the end of the regular season fast approaching, the Mets moved another step closer to securing a postseason berth after taking the series from the San Diego Padres. The Mets took two out of three from San Diego at Citi Field. As a result, New York is now a full two games ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Cincinnati Reds...
The Mets have done everything in their power to give up their long-held claim on a playoff spot. Lucky for them, no other team has been able to grab it. At least not yet. Despite an eight-game losing streak, followed by two wins and a loss, the Mets are still in pole position for the third Wild Card spot thanks to spotty play by their competition. With ten games remaining, New York leads the...
Good morning, Mets fans! Sproat and McLean and pray for rain? Pete Alonso drilled an opposite-field, three-run home run in the 10th inning to walk off the Texas Rangers Sunday and break the Mets’ eight-game losing skid. Nolan McLean threw six scoreless innings to lower his ERA to 1.19 one day after Brandon Sproat turned in six scoreless to drop his ERA to 2.25. There was good news for the...
