The Mets got another good outing from a starting pitcher. But a leaky bullpen and an offense that was missing in action for most of the game led to a 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks Saturday afternoon in Citi Field. Carlos Carrasco pitched five shutout innings and fanned eight. However, a high pitch count kept [...]
Francisco Lindor homered from both sides of the plate, part of a four-homer attack, to back the strong pitching of Chris Bassitt to lead the Mets to a 10-3 win over the Diamondbacks in the team’s home opener Friday afternoon at Citi Field. Lindor hit a 2-run shot in the fifth inning and he delivered [...]
Pete Alonso had two doubles and a homer, finishing with five RBIs, as he powered the Mets to a 9-6 win over the Phillies Wednesday afternoon in Philadelphia. The Mets take the series and finish the road trip in first place with a 5-2 record. It was supposed to be a pitcher’s duel with a [...]
The Mets bounced back from yesterday’s fiasco, as four pitchers combined on a shutout, leading the Mets to a 2-0 win Tuesday night in Philadelphia. Tylor Megill pitched well in his second straight game, throwing 5.1 scoreless innings. He wasn’t quite as dominating as he was on Opening Day but given both the opponent and [...]
For the second straight night, questionable bullpen moves and meltdowns from relievers in the eighth inning turned a lead into a loss, with this being a 5-4 setback to the Phillies Monday night in Philadelphia. The Mets had a 4-0 lead heading into the eighth. Taijuan Walker was sharp in two innings before having to [...]
A bad eighth inning led to three Washington runs, leading the Nationals to a 4-2 win, which was the Mets’ first loss of the season. Before we get to the eighth, we need to talk about the sixth inning. Buck Showalter went to his bullpen with two outs and nobody on base, taking out Carlos [...]
Chris Bassitt pitched six scoreless innings in his Mets debut and Pete Alonso hit his first career grand slam in the majors to power the Mets to a 5-0 win over the Nationals Saturday night in D.C. Bassitt showed excellent breaking stuff, which helped his low 90s fastball look more impressive than you’d think that [...]
Max Scherzer showed no major issues coming back from his hamstring injury as he pitched six solid innings among the various delays and got the win in his first start as a Met, as they downed the Nationals, 7-3, Friday night in Washington. The game started late due to issues with the lights in the [...]
Tylor Megill did his best Jacob deGrom imitation, hurling five shutout innings to get the Mets back on track with their amazing Opening Day record, as the Mets downed the Nationals, 5-1, Thursday night in Washington D.C. Megill hit 99 mph with his fastball and didn’t seem fazed at all with the Opening Day start. [...]
The 2021 Mets season ended like it started – with a loss. Six Braves pitchers combined on a 3-hit shutout, leading Atlanta to a 5-0 victory. It would’ve been nice to end the year with a good taste in our mouth. Instead, we were left with some combination of onions, anchovies and Limburger cheese. Patrick [...]
The Mets scored two runs in both the eighth and ninth innings but the comeback fell short and the end result was another one-run loss, this one a 6-5 loss to the Braves Saturday night in Atlanta. Carlos Carrasco didn’t give up a run in the first inning this time out. But he made up [...]
Brandon Nimmo hit two home runs to power the Mets to a 4-3 win over the Braves Friday night in Atlanta. With the Braves already clinching the NL East, several stars did not play in this game, including Freddie Freeman. Nimmo had just 12 XBH in his first 184 ABs after being activated from the [...]
