With yesterday marking the first playoff game of the 2014 season and today being the first day of October, it is another year without the Mets being post-season bound. It felt just a little bit different this year for those that followed the team for 162 games. There was a buzz around this team that [...]
When the season began, if I told you that a Mets starting pitcher was in the Rookie of the Year hunt, who would you have guessed? The obvious answers are Rafael Montero and Noah Syndergaard. Well, Montero hasn’t had a good start to his big league career and we will have to wait until next [...]
Barring a miracle, it looks like Noah Syndergaard is going to spend his entire 2014 campaign in Triple A. Many fans believe that it isn’t the right approach to handling Syndergaard, especially after promoting Dilson Herrera from Double A. With Syndergaard not getting the call to the bigs this year, the Mets could opt to [...]
2014 was year where the Mets wanted to fix a major issue that has crippled the team in the past: the bullpen. An influx of young, power arms like Vic Black, Josh Edgin, Jenrry Mejia and Jeurys Familia were going to re-establish the Mets as a team with a quality bullpen. Those guys went above [...]
It’s obvious. Both Jenrry Mejia and David Wright are playing hurt. While they are proving their commitment to the game and to their teammates and fans, they are taking a giant risk and putting the 2015 season on the line. 2015 is all but the year everyone in the front office pointed to as the [...]
Last night, Rafael Montero made his first start for the Mets in over a month. Montero was just recently called up from Triple A Las Vegas to replace Jacob deGrom while deGrom suffers from shoulder soreness. While Montero struggled in his return to the major leagues, the struggles should not be the doomsday that many [...]
With just a little over of two months of baseball remaining, talks of leading candidates for awards is starting to ramp up. Already mentioned is Jacob deGrom’s push for NL Rookie of the Year honors, but today is about Juan Lagares. There aren’t many Mets fans that would disagree with the statement that Lagares is [...]
Since Sandy Alderson took over as the general manager of the New York Mets, offense has been the need. Through the draft, Alderson and Co. have attempted to replenish a minor league system that desperately needed offense. They signed guys like Curtis Granderson in the hopes that he can give the lineup a boost over [...]
When the Cubs acquired Addison Russell from the A’s in a trade earlier this month, it was clear that both Starlin Castro and Javier Baez would be available in a trade. Earlier this week, in a post for ESPN NY, Adam Rubin reported that an industry source has predicted that the Mets could end up [...]
Last night against the Atlanta Braves, Jacob deGrom put together arguably his best major league start to date. With that and the return of Dillon Gee to the rotation, deGrom’s future with the Mets is a little bit cloudy. Going into next season, the Mets seem to have more major league ready starting pitching than [...]
Yesterday a firestorm was started when Terry Collins was asked about the promotion of Noah Syndergaard. His non-commitment to an answer worried fans that maybe Syndergaard would not be promoted this season. A little bit later in the day, a report surfaced that a scout inside the Mets organization believes that Syndergaard should stay in [...]
Last night, Travis d’Arnaud made his return to the Mets after a two week stint in Triple A Las Vegas. And he made his return with a bang. In his second at-bat of the evening d’Arnaud launched a hanging change-up from A’s pitcher Scott Kazmir into the left-field seats. It was a huge hit for [...]
