Sports, and specifically baseball, can have patterns to them. As a season churns along, games start to mirror each other, even if they do not occur in the exact same way. This can happen when a team repeatedly fails, and it can happen when a team repeatedly succeeds. Unfortunately for the Mets, the rhythm of things has fallen into the negative category. Facing the Phillies on Sunday night, the...
Good morning, Mets fans! Frankie Montas struggled yet again on Wednesday, making his place in the Mets’ rotation a point of contention. The newly acquired Montas had a line of 5.0 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 2 K (80 pitches, 47 strikes) in his sixth rehab start since returning from a high grade lat strain. This outing actually lowered his ERA in rehab starts this season to 13.19 as he has given up...
Good morning, Mets fans! On Wednesday, the Mets finished off their seven-game homestand with a bang. After a Brett Baty two-run homer off of Zack Wheeler, offense was hard to come by as it was knotted at 2-2 going into the eighth. The Mets’ defense continued to keep them in the game, as Juan Soto gunned out Nick Castellanos at the plate in the eighth inning, eventually sending the game...
In 1986, the New York Mets were up three games to two on the Houston Astros in the NLCS. The Mets couldn’t be eliminated in Game 6, but it almost felt like they could. If the series reached Game 7, that meant the Astros would be able to throw ex-Met Mike Scott one more time—and the Mets couldn’t hit Mike Scott. In Game 1, Scott threw a complete game shutout with 14 strikeouts. In...
The New York Mets were six outs away from dropping Game 1 of their NLDS matchup with the Philadelphia Phillies Saturday. Zack Wheeler had everything working, allowing just one hit and striking out nine over seven fantastic innings. A great performance. But, the Mets continued to grind and fight at the plate, like they have so often during this remarkable run. The Phillies went to the bullpen and...

The New York Mets are back, playing in the National League Division Series for the first time since 2015. Wow, that sounds great! But, let’s not forget that the Mets were a few minutes away from their season ending at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers. That was until Pete Alonso had what is the greatest moment of career, hitting a go-ahead three-run home run in the ninth inning of Game 3....
The New York Mets aimed to close out their final home series of the season against the Philadelphia Phillies with a win. Thanks to Brandon Nimmo and a strong performance by the pitching staff, they managed to hold Philadelphia’s potent offense to just one run, securing a 2-1 victory in a tense series finale. This crucial win keeps the Mets two games ahead of the Atlanta Braves while also helping...

They will go into play on Sunday night with a record of 86-69, meaning they have clinched a regular season record of at least 10 games over .500. In the past two years, the final National League wild card spot has been won by an 84-win Marlins team in 2023 and an 87-win Phillies team in 2022. However, all...
Good morning, Mets fans! Wow… We’ve seen plenty of bizarre days in Flushing and Wednesday made a case to be high on that list. The day started with a gut punch as the Mets lost their closer, Edwin Díaz, to the IL with a right shoulder impingement. But, that would only be the beginning. Early in the Mets’ 10-3 loss to the Dodgers, Pete Alonso left the game after getting hit by a...
Next year’s free agent class of starting pitchers was set to be strong with Corbin Burnes, Zack Wheeler, Max Fried, Walker Buehler, and Shane Bieber. Dylan Cease could also be available in a trade. For the New York Mets, after essentially skipping out on this year’s market (barring Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery’s prices going down), they relied on this market to help out...
