The Mets had their three-game winning streak snapped as they fell to the Dodgers, 3-2, Tuesday night in Los Angeles. Jacob deGrom again didn't have his best stuff but after allowing two runs in the first inning he battled through seven innings and did not allow another run. Yoenis Cespedes and the wind/night air helped [...]
David Wright got on base all five times he came to the plate Saturday. He drew three walks, fired a single to center field and then hit a home run his last trip to the plate. Wright now has 11 extra-base hits in 112 PA. Last season he had 12 in 174. His 2016 SLG [...]
The Mets hit four homers and finally beat the Padres, 6-4, Saturday night. But there's only one thing that people will remember about this game. Bartolo Colon hit a homer. Yep, you read that right, Colon homered. Sure, Yoenis Cespedes hit one in the upper deck and David Wright and Michael Conforto went back-to-back in [...]
Once again the Mets could do nothing against a Padres starter with a big curve, as they fell to San Diego, 2-0, Friday night. There's more ammunition for those who think Tim Teufel is a bad 3B coach. He opted to send a runner home with one out and there's no way to sugar coat [...]
The Mets fell behind early, staged a ninth inning comeback but fell on the short side of a 5-3 game Thursday night in San Diego in the opener of an 11-game road trip. Jacob deGrom had neither his best velocity nor command. Much like in the World Series, he was unable to put away batters [...]
The Mets claimed their sixth straight series win with an 8-0 whitewashing of the Braves Wednesday afternoon. The Mets are now 6-2 in blowout games, ones decided by five or more runs. One day after managing just one hit, the Mets delivered eight hits, five of which went for extra-bases, including four home runs. The [...]
The Mets finished the month of April with a 15-7 record. Since they started the month 2-5, it seems everyone should be happy with that mark. Last April the Mets had an 11-game winning streak and were the talk of the town. They finished the month with a 15-8 mark. The 2015 club limped into [...]
The meme has a different vibe these days...
The Mets won for the 11th time in their last 13 games with a 5-2 victory over the Reds Wednesday night. The hot streak includes back-to-back sweeps over Atlanta and Cincinnati. Mets pitchers struck out 12 batters in the game, including seven from starting pitcher Matt Harvey. After opening the year with a 5.71 ERA [...]
The Mets have won nine of their last 11 games yet it's impossible not to hear complaints about the team. Let that one sink in for a minute. You hear that they're only doing well because they're playing bad teams or that the offense can't keep hitting homers at this pace or how they're terrible [...]
The big news for the Mets during the Winter Meetings was the acquisition of a new double play combo. They traded for Neil Walker, which was generally praised as a strong move. And they signed free agent Asdrubal Cabrera, which was met with a more mixed reaction. Three weeks into the season, most fans are [...]
The Mets guaranteed themselves the series win with an 8-2 beating of the Braves Saturday night in Atlanta. For everyone who complains about the offense being too home run reliant, the Mets scored six of their eight runs independent of a homer, including their first five runs of the contest. Neil Walker and Asdrubal Cabrera [...]
