It’s tough to give up double digit walks and win. And the Mets allowed 10 BB and fell to the Pirates, 7-4, Tuesday night at Citi Field. In addition to the 10 walks, the Pirates also had nine hits and two HBPs. And as crazy as it may seem, this was a 1-1 game after [...]
The Mets got to face another stiff pitcher and responded by scoring runs in the first six innings of the game, tying a home record set by the 1987 squad. The end result was a 7-2 win over the Pirates, in the first of three at Citi Field. Carlos Carrasco started for the Mets and, [...]
The Mets rallied from three runs down to take a four-run lead and held on for a 7-6 win over the Braves Sunday night in Citi Field. The win allowed them to avoid a four-game sweep. The Mets used a six-run fifth inning to build a 7-3 lead. The Mets sent 11 batters to the [...]
The Mets got demolished two times on Saturday, as they got swept by the Braves by a combined 27-3 score. It’s not a big surprise, given how good the Braves’ lineup is, combined with how rotten what the Mets are sending out. It’s still tough to watch. Both the Mets and Braves sent out a [...]
The depleted Mets threw Tylor Megill against the hard-hitting Braves. No one should have expected a win. And sure enough, the Braves emerged with a 7-0 victory. But in a year where we’ve seen a bunch of crummy baseball, this was as an exasperating loss as we’ve seen all season. The Mets haven’t made pitchers [...]
It got dicey in the ninth inning but ace reliever Phil Bickford came in to nail down the save, giving the Mets a 4-3 win over the Cubs Wednesday night at Citi Field. The victory gave the Mets the series win, something that was common place in 2022 but has been few and far between [...]
Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer in the first inning but the Mets’ offense could muster nothing after that, as they fell to the Cubs, 3-2, Tuesday night at Citi Field. After the first inning troubles, Jameson Taillon settled down and pitched a great game, with the Mets unable to do much at all against [...]
Pete Alonso hit two home runs and Kodai Senga pitched six strong innings to lead the Mets to an 11-2 win over the Cubs Monday night at Citi Field. The win snapped a six-game losing streak for the Mets and it was their first victory since the trade deadline. Alonso got the Mets on the [...]
Jose Quintana was very good. But it didn’t matter because he was done in by shaky fielding, an unspectacular pen and a non-existent offense. The end result was a 2-0 setback to the Orioles Sunday afternoon in Baltimore. The Mets have now lost six in a row since the trade deadline, showing almost no heart [...]
The good news is there was a Jeff McNeil sighting. McNeil had two hits including just his fourth home run of the season and drove in all three runs for the Mets. Also, the Mets tallied seven hits after five and four the last two games, respectively. One of the hits was Brandon Nimmo’s one-out [...]
The Mets didn’t get David Peterson stretched out in the bullpen to prepare for his return to the starting rotation. So, he left after three scoreless innings. The option relievers continued to be less than good and the end result was a 10-3 loss to the Orioles Friday night in Baltimore. John Curtiss was the [...]
If you like uninspired baseball, you’ve loved the past two games. The Mets were shut out for eight innings before losing by a 9-2 margin to the Royals. Kansas City, a team 40-games under .500, sweeps the three-game series. The Mets stacked their lineup with lefty hitters (note: Daniel Vogelbach did not play), with seven [...]
