Jacob deGrom is racking up a historic year on the mound for the Mets, one with quite a few similarities to the season the greatest Met of all, Tom Seaver, put up in 1971. In ‘71 Seaver was in his…
As this is being typed, the Mets have a five-run lead on the Washington Nationals. They built it on the strength of five extra-base hits, none of them homers. Michael Conforto has hit his first triple of the year and…
Coming into this season, Corey Oswalt was the starting pitcher most likely to come to the majors and give the Mets something. While most of the prospect hounds preferred the long-term upside of Justin Dunn and David Peterson, the club’s…
