Wheeler tries to follow up his impressive debut but has a tough matchup with Sale, a first-round pick of the Sox in 2010, the same draft that produced Matt Harvey. Game time is 8:10 PM. [chat id="107" ]
It seems like the only one that can slow down Matt Harvey is Mother Nature. Harvey took the mound on Sunday afternoon (6/23), threw six innings, struck out six batters, allowed two hits and one walk. It was a passing Philadelphia monsoon – a game delay of twenty-odd minutes – that kept him from lasting [...]
While a lot of attention has recently been paid to the Mets unorthodox methods of promoting David Wright’s all-star candidacy, the much bigger story is that Wright is posting numbers worthy of an all-star in 2013. Only two years ago, it seemed nearly unfathomable that Wright would ever post an all-star caliber season again, [...]
The Mets' short-season affiliates got their seasons underway this past week. Those affiliates are, in order from most advanced to least, the Brooklyn Cyclones (New York-Penn League), the Kingsport Mets (Appalachian League), and the GCL Mets (Gulf Coast League). The Cyclones are at the short-season A class-level while both Kingsport and the GCL team are [...]
With the trade deadline just six weeks away, the Mets find themselves with a record of 29-42-- five and a half games ahead of the last place Miami Marlins, and 11.5 games behind the first-place Braves. A chance that the Mets make a playoff run this year is unlikely, so the question is whether they [...]
With Jonathon Niese going on the disabled list, the Mets’ decision on which pitcher to drop from the rotation was delayed. That’s good news for Jeremy Hefner and Shaun Marcum, the two leading candidates to be removed. Let’s take a minute to look at the pros and cons for Hefner remaining a starter, if and [...]
The Mets have made an in-season move and acquired Eric Young, Jr. I know, Mets360.com already has run an article about it but its so nice to see the Mets make a deal, I had to write another one. In what must be considered a significant move for the Mets, they have acquired Young from [...]
I’m not sure who said it; I think it was SNY’s play-by-play man Gary Cohen, but someone had a valid comparison recently. And that is Marlon Byrd is turning into this year’s Scott Hairston. Just like when the Mets picked Hairston off the scrap heap, Byrd is doing his best to impersonate Hairston while playing [...]
The Mets look to continue their dominance of Cole Hamels tonight in Citizen's Bank Park at 7:10 pm. [chat id="104" ]
If you asked a random baseball fan from Atlanta or DC or Philadelphia what was wrong with the Mets, undoubtedly one of the first things they would bring up would be the awful bullpen. After watching the Braves’ telecasts of the just-concluded five-game series, I lost count of how many times their announcers talked about [...]
You may or may not have heard: Zack Wheeler was pretty good in his debut. That was on top of Matt Harvey being otherworldly earlier that same day. On what was clearly the best day of this benighted 2013 season, Mets fan and Mets player alike got a personal jolt from these two electrifying performances. [...]
Some Mets’ fans have shrugged at the idea of acquiring the services of Eric Young Jr. (traded for Collin McHugh on Tuesday night) from the Colorado Rockies, saying he is nothing more than filler with no real upside and one who will fit right in with the Mets’ under-qualified outfield. The naysayers have a point. [...]
