Even after a promising ninth inning rally, the Mets fell to the Arizona Diamond backs 7-4. This drops the team's record down to a lowly (54-70). While it may seem as if this is just another loss, there was a big positive in the ninth. First, we will address the starting pitching. Starter Tommy Milone [...]
Going into today, the New York Mets were 2-10 in Sunday home games this season. Giancarlo Stanton and his Miami Marlins ensured that record would not improve. The Mets suffered yet another loss this Sunday, falling to the Marlins 6-4. Misplayed defense and squandered offensive opportunities led to the loss. On the mound, Jacob deGrom [...]
Something strange happened the other night for the Mets. Travis d'Arnaud made his first career start at third base for the team. Although he rotated often with Asdrubal Cabrera, the fact of the matter is that he started there. By doing this, the team could be subtly sending a message that the position is potentially [...]
On a night where the Mets looked to even up the Subway Series, the Yankees had other plans. The Yankees defeated the Mets, 5-3. Robert Gsellman got the start for the Mets, his first since returning from injury. He is taking the rotation spot of Seth Lugo, who recently became injured. In his start, Gsellman [...]
An ugly streak has come to an end for the New York Mets on Sunday. They ended a streak of six straight Sunday losses with their 6-2 win over the Phillies. The winning effort was lead by a strong starting effort by Chris Flexen and a good day at the plate for Curtis Granderson. On [...]
The 2017 Mets have become a liquidation sale. Currently sitting at a season low in games under .500, the Mets wove the white flag with the trade of first baseman Lucas Duda and reliever Addison Reed. They strung the flag higher when they traded outfielder Jay Bruce, the team leader in home runs and RBIs. [...]
Day games simply aren't for the Mets this season. Whether it be on Sunday or a weekday matinee, the game hasn't been kind. The negative pattern continued this afternoon when Martin Perez and the Texas Rangers defeated the Mets 5-1. The Mets went down early, when starter Rafael Montero allowed three runs in the first [...]
On Tuesday, the Mets defeated the Texas Rangers by a score of 5-4. They were led by an onslaught of home runs, and a strong outing by starter Chris Flexen. Flexen, who had not made it past three innings pitched yet, went 5.2 innings. Over that span, he was charged with three runs, while allowing [...]
For Sandy Alderson, the waters of the 2017 Trade Deadline were tricky to navigate. While only he knows the true intentions of the organization and what direction they want to go, it was expected by many that the Mets would sell at the deadline. Well, the Mets did sell. They shopped first baseman Lucas Duda [...]
Noah Syndergaard is as electric as they come in Major League Baseball. He has the personality of a mythical protagonist, and the type of velocity on a pitch that makes hitters shiver in their boots when they face him. After an astounding 2016 campaign, he was projected by many as the unquestioned ace of the [...]
In his return to where he is from, Michael Conforto shined. He had his fourth career multiple home run game, blasting two solo shots in his return. The more important of the two probably being the one that tied the game in the eighth for the Mets, as a rally that inning lead them to [...]
Not everyone's first career start is a magical storybook affair. Chris Flexen learned that the hard way last night, when his 0-2 curveball was rocked over the wall by Padres leadoff hitter Manuel Margot. Flexen would go on to only last three innings, as the Mets stumbled to defeat against the Padres, 7-5. In his [...]
