![Gut Reaction: Mets 1, Braves 0 [11INN] (6/25/16)](https://i0.wp.com/mets360.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Winning1.jpg?fit=150%2C115&ssl=1)
The Mets defeated the Braves tonight 1-0 at Turner Field to move within two games of the Nationals for first place in the NL East. Poor Jacob deGrom. It's ten starts now that he hasn't had a W. He went eight innings in this one while giving up no runs and striking out six. Maybe [...]
Alright, so it's getting tiring talking about the same stuff over and over again. You're tired of hearing about it, right? This is where we are at the moment, though, rooting for a team amazingly just two games back in the loss column from first place despite their inability to thrash a team with a [...]
The Mets lost the second game of their series against the lowly Braves tonight at Citi Field, 4-3. Sigh. Steven Matz wasn't on his A game but, you guessed it, still pitched well enough to win. I feel like a broken record at this point. His pitch count got up to 99 so he only [...]
As of this morning, the Mets' record stands at 36-30. They're in second place in the NL East, six full games behind the Nationals. It's not where we hoped the team would be at this point in the season, to say the least. The team has been dealing with under-performance, and the injuries are reminiscent [...]
The Mets lost the opening game of their three-game series against the Braves tonight at Citi Field, 5-1. It was not a happy Matt Harvey day. He went six innings and gave up seven hits with four earned runs against the worst offense in baseball, though that offense was pretty aggressive early in counts against [...]
The Mets were shut out and lost the opening game of their three-game series to the Pirate tonight at Citi Field, 4-0. The Pirates just continue to give this team fits. Once again, Jacob deGrom wasn't at his best yet pitched well enough to win. He needed 105 pitches to get through six innings, while [...]
The Mets dropped game three of their four-game series against the Brewers in Milwaukee today, 7-4. Logan Verrett got the spot start this afternoon because of the doubleheader in Pittsburgh that threw the rotation off. The Mets needed him to pitch well and pitch deep to help an overworked bullpen. Unfortunately, he had trouble commanding [...]
An interesting point was brought up in the comments section of a recent post here at Mets360 regarding the state of the Mets' farm system. Specifically, there was concern that the drafting aspect of the Sandy Alderson regime's effort to rebuild the system since it took over in 2011 has been underwhelming to say the [...]
On draft day, the Mets took the opening game of their four game series against the Brewers in Milwaukee. Bartolo Colon continues to be an ageless wonder who gets it done with smoke, mirrors, and maybe a little black magic. He went seven innings while allowing eight hits but just one earned run. Of course, [...]
It was not a good day in Mets-land, as the Mets dropped both games of their twi-night doubleheader against the Pirates. Game 1: Pirates 3, Mets 1 Steven Matz started this one for the Mets. While he wasn't great, he certainly pitched well enough to win. He threw only five innings with eight hits, two [...]
The Mets offense has, despite a six-run outburst yesterday against the Marlins, obviously been struggling to score over the last month or so. In fact, their 87 total runs in the month of May was better than only the back-to-earth Phillies and the awful Braves. Their 14-15 record for the month, as unimpressive as it [...]
The Mets dropped the rubber game of their weekend series against the Dodgers 4-2 at Citi Field this evening. It was the Bartolo Colon versus Clayton Kershaw show, and it was amazingly not all that one-sided. Colon went 6 innings while giving up two earned runs and striking out three. It wasn't phenomenal, but he [...]
