The Mets have seen some unlikely heroes the past few games. We’ve seen some over-the-hill guys and balsa-wood bats go deep and while it’s been incredibly fun to watch, it’s also made some folks lose all perspective and make some crazy comments. The same people who were cheering because the Mets were supposedly making contact [...]
It looked like the Mets were going to drop a game they had no business losing. But then the Nationals’ pen struck again. Carlos Gomez delivered a three-run homer in the eighth inning to lift the Mets to a 6-4 win over the Nats Thursday afternoon in Citi Field and a sweep of the four-game [...]
The Mets staged three different comebacks, the final one completed in the bottom of the ninth inning, to eke out a 6-5 win over the Nationals Tuesday night. It was the first time this year the Mets won a game where they trailed after the seventh. With runners on the corners and two outs in [...]
People like to complain. As long as the complaints are legitimate, that’s okay. The issue is when some people are so eager to complain that they throw all reason and judgment out the window. Then it’s just sport. And if you’ve got time in your life for complaining as sport, your time would be better [...]
It’s been a tough week for Robinson Cano. While hoping that two off days and a rainout would help rejuvenate the 36 year old, instead we’ve seen him have to apologize to his manager for loafing on the field, we’ve seen him responsible for colliding in the field with the team’s best player, giving Michael [...]
For the fifth time this season, the Mets played a rubber game. And for the fifth time, the Mets came out on the short end of the stick, this one by a 7-6 margin Thursday afternoon in Washington against the Nationals. It was the second time this year that the Mets dropped a series-deciding game [...]
Last year Noah Syndergaard was 13-4 with a 3.03 ERA but it seemed like there was more complaining about his year than celebration over his numbers. Depending upon who you were talking to, he gave up too many steals, or too many hits, or he took too many pitches to put guys away, or he [...]
The Mets pushed across eight runs in the first inning to break out of their offensive slump, and that combined with another strong effort by Zack Wheeler led the Mets to an 11-2 win over the Marlins in the first of a three-game set Friday night in Citi Field. The first eight Mets batters reached [...]
Wilmer Font’s Mets’ debut went very well, as he gave them four solid innings and his pitch count was low enough that he could have given another frame if Mickey Callaway didn’t reflexively pinch-hit for him with a runner on base and no outs. Font had two sacrifice hits last year in his time with [...]
The Milwaukee Brewers scored three runs in the third inning and made those stand up, as they emerged with a 3-2 win over the Mets Sunday, and a sweep of their three-game series. The Brewers ended up taking five of the six games against the Mets this year. Zach Davies was masterful for 7.2 IP [...]
It was a pleasant surprise to come home last night and find the Mets game on in the top of the 18th inning. It was even more fun to watch them score the go-ahead run. My mWAR was going up! But the bottom of the inning was not fun. The Mets had little choice but [...]
On a day where the Mets desperately needed length from the starting pitcher, Noah Syndergaard went above and beyond, as he both pitched and hit the Mets to a 1-0 win over the Reds Thursday afternoon at Citi Field in a game that lasted just 2:12. Syndergaard pitched a complete game shutout, becoming the first [...]
