Jonathan Villar, Francisco Lindor and Michael Conforto went 0-12 with 5 Ks. In a related story, the Mets lost, again. Hey, at least it wasn't one run this time around, as they dropped a 5-3 decision to the Phillies, their fifth-straight setback. Brandon Nimmo had a triple and a homer. Jeurys Familia didn't give up [...]
Taijuan Walker was not pleased about his early removal from Friday's game against the Phillies. "There was no conversation. I didn’t get a chance to (lobby to stay in the game). They told me I was done after 88 pitches and I don’t make the call. That’s on them and it is what it is." [...]
The Mets knocked out Zack Wheeler in the sixth inning, they went 3-10 with RISP and it didn’t matter. They ended up with another one-run loss, this one a 4-3 setback to the Phillies. We’ve gotten so used to the pen coming up with big efforts that we’re shocked when they give up two runs [...]
This time a year ago, I was exasperated with Luis Rojas. From platooning Brandon Nimmo on the basis of about a dozen ABs, using Amed Rosario and his lifetime .305 OBP in the leadoff spot and using relievers four times in five days - among other things - he was making mistakes that no manager [...]
There have been so many people who cycled through here in this injury-marred season, that it’s hard to remember them all. So, as the season and playoff hopes slide through our hands, let’s take a moment to recall the Bench Mob, including ones who may or may not have been around in the first half [...]
What’s more depressing – missing two 3-run homers by a total of four feet or knowing that if you got both of them that you would still lose the game? That was the Mets’ fate Wednesday night, as they lost, 11-4, and got swept at home by the Cardinals. The Mets fell behind, 5-0, before [...]
Stop me if you’ve heard this before – The Mets lost a one-run game Stop me if you’ve heard this before – Luis Rojas tried to win a game with his bullpen and it didn’t happen Stop me if you’ve heard this before – Jeurys Familia failed in a key spot Stop me if you’ve [...]
Mets with RISP: 0-7 Cards with RISP: 7-18 Mets HR: 0 Cards HR: 1 You're not going to win any games with these types of numbers.
Francisco Lindor hit three home runs to power the Mets to a 7-6 win over the Yankees. It snapped a streak of five-straight, one-run losses and gave the Mets both a series win and year-long win in the Subway Series. On Lindor’s second homer, he ran around the bases and seemed to mock the Yankees [...]
"Everybody's out on the run tonight But there's no place left to hide." It doesn’t bring me any joy to say this, but I’ve had enough. No, not talking about all of the one-run losses – although those can stop, too – but rather the 9/11 tributes that everyone makes again and again and again. [...]
In the end, the curse of the primetime Fox game was just too much. The Mets fell behind, 5-0, yet rallied to take a 7-5 lead. But Trevor May allowed three runs in the eighth inning and the Mets lost another one-run game, this one an 8-7 setback to the Yankees Saturday night. May gave [...]
The Yankees certainly didn’t look like the team on the field that was 16 games above .500, as they committed numerous errors and unmade plays that led to a 10-3 Mets win Friday night at Citi Field. The first Mets run came about when the Yankee catcher did an ole play at the plate and [...]
