Just as it seemed the Mets had a win in their crosshairs, it was ripped from their hands. Entering the ninth with a 4-1 lead, the Mets trusted A.J Ramos with the save situation against his former team. Ramos blew the save, forcing the game into extra innings. In the bottom of the 10th, Paul [...]

This was deGrom's fifteenth [...]
No longer is he the man that struck fear into the heart of opposing starting pitchers, or the man that ran the outfield with the grace of a gazelle. He is a man that has led an embattled life, and the scars are showing. Darryl Strawberry has always been a controversial man, whether it be [...]
Wednesday night was simply a struggle for the Mets, as they fell to 19 games under .500 on the season. They lost to the Cubs in an ugly fashion, being outclassed 17-5. The score became inflated due to a poor outing from the bullpen. Besides Hansel Robles, every bullpen pitcher for the Mets gave up [...]
If you saw any pitcher with a stat line of five innings pitched, five walks, and five strikeouts, you'd assume that they would have given up a fair amount of runs. But on the mound tonight for the Mets was Rafael Montero, who averages nearly five walks per nine innings. Montero only surrendered one run [...]

Between the 2015 and 2016 seasons, Jeurys Familia had 94 saves combined. 2016 was his best season to date, with 51 saves and an All-Star appearance. Going into the 2017 season, the Mets expected him to be the anchor that held together the back end of the Mets bullpen. He missed the first 15 games [...]
When you see that stat line of 8.1 innings pitched, with no runs, three hits, and 8 strikeouts from a Mets pitcher, you'd probably expect it to come from Jacob deGrom. Against the Reds tonight though, those stats were produced by Rafael Montero, who earned his third win of the season. He did not let [...]
