The Cubs completed a three-game sweep of the Mets with a 14-6 thrashing Thursday night in Wrigley Field. Mets pitching allowed 39 runs in the series, the most ever by the Mets in a three-game series. The Mets actually held 3-0 and 5-3 leads in this game. But Seth Lugo couldn't hold either of them [...]
It’s one thing when you enter a season with no expectations and your team turns in a stinker of a year. But it’s another thing entirely when you have visions of a deep playoff run and instead you find yourself in mid-September 18 games under .500 and hoping for a top-five draft pick. Unfortunately, that’s [...]
Hey, it only took seven years but someone is questioning the pitch calling and who's responsible.
Last year, Seth Lugo provided the shot in the arm the Mets needed to return to the playoffs. This year, Lugo needed a shot in the arm just to be able to pitch. Since returning to the majors on Jun 11, he’s taken his spot in the rotation and missed just two turns despite his [...]
Since his company is 15-years old this year, Universal Windows Direct CEO William Barr decided to put together a fun offer for customers who love Cleveland’s baseball team — or just wanted to gamble on free and discounted windows and see what happened. The promotion went as such: anybody who bought windows during the month [...]
The Mets continued their mastery over the Reds with a 7-2 win Thursday night in Citi Field. So, which one was most surprising? 1. Matt Harvey going five innings and only allowing two earned runs to earn his first win since May. 2. Brandon Nimmo with three extra-base hits, including two homers. 3. Josh Smoker [...]
Matt Harvey made his return from the DL last Saturday and to the surprise of almost no one, he was pounded. The reason it wasn’t a surprise is that minor leaguers were lighting him up in his too brief rehab assignment. If minor leaguers were hitting him, how was he going to get major league [...]
It’s hard to believe now but back when the Mets traded R.A. Dickey, the main get was Travis d’Arnaud, who was billed as a star two-way backstop. As a franchise, the Mets have been blessed with some pretty strong catchers throughout the years and it seemed like d’Arnaud was going to take his place along [...]
In a move that caught most everyone by surprise, the Mets announced that Matt Harvey will make his second start since returning from the disabled list on short rest, going Wednesday agaisnt the Phillies after last pitching Saturday against the Astros.
In the last season before the current MLB Draft rules were in place, the Mets spent $650,000 on 15th-round pick Phillip Evans. At the time, Baseball America reported it to be the largest amount given by the Mets to a player picked after the first two rounds. The Mets had been criticized for not spending [...]
The Mets fell to the Astros, 8-6, on Sunday afternoon and were swept in the three-game series. They're now 5-16 in their last 21 games. The game got off to a good start, as the Mets jumped out to a 4-1 lead, as they scored two runs in each of the first two innings. But [...]
When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers. For such a long time, many fans couldn’t wait to be rid of Lucas Duda and put someone, anyone else in his place. And then this year when Dominic Smith was in Triple-A, those desires became even more vocal. Didn’t matter that Duda was [...]
