The Mets got a strong pitching performance from Rick Porcello and just enough timely hits to earn a 3-1 win over the Nationals Wednesday night. It was the 150th career victory for Porcello. After starting his Mets career with two disastrous outings, Porcello gave up a run after facing just four batters and it looked [...]
The Nationals jumped on top early and held on for a 5-3 win over the Mets Tuesday night in Washington. It was the Mets’ sixth loss in their last seven games. Steven Matz surrendered two homers and five runs in three innings to put the Mets in an early hole. But the bullpen came up [...]
The post-Cespedes 2020 season got off to a good start, as the Mets used a rare offensive outburst behind Jacob deGrom to defeat the Braves, 7-2, and avoid a sweep of the four-game series. The Mets have played seven games against the Braves so far, going 2-0 in deGrom starts and 0-5 in the others. [...]
Yoenis Cespedes went AWOL and the Mets’ offense decided to join him, as they fell for the third straight time to the Braves, this time by a 4-0 margin Sunday afternoon. It was the first time they had been shut out this season. The Mets put runners in scoring position in five of the first [...]
The Mets lost their fourth straight game, dropping a 7-1 decision to the Braves Saturday night in Atlanta. After jumping out to an 8-2 lead on Friday, the Mets fell in a big hole early and never really threatened to make it a game. Michael Wacha allowed five runs in the first two innings. He [...]
My son got a last-minute gig Friday night. I saw the first batter in the bottom of the fifth and when I left, the Mets had an 8-2 lead. You can view the Game Chatter for confirmation if you don't believe me. I blame the rest of you for what happened next.
For the second straight night, the Mets had their chances with the bases loaded late but were unable to cash in. They fell to the Red Sox, 4-2, and ended up the season series with their AL East foe at 2-2. Given the Red Sox’ pitching woes, this is a disappointing result. The Mets are [...]
The Red Sox scored four runs against the Mets’ bullpen late and survived a 30-pitch ninth inning, as they beat the Mets, 6-5, Wednesday night at Citi Field. Jacob deGrom started for the Mets and was overpowering early, twice registering 101 mph with his fastball. But deGrom started to throw a ton of changeups in [...]
The Mets’ offense showed up for the second straight night to make David Peterson’s debut both smooth and successful as the Mets downed the Red Sox, 8-3, Tuesday night in Boston. Peterson came out throwing 94 but soon settled into 91-92 range. His first pitch of the game missed badly and his second pitch was [...]
The Mets clubbed three home runs en route to opening up a seven-run lead and coming away with a 7-4 win over the Red Sox Monday night in Boston. Michael Conforto, Pete Alonso and Dominic Smith all went deep with the first two hitting two-run homers and Smith with a three-run blast. After watching the [...]
Rick Porcello had a New York debut to forget, as he allowed 7 R in 2+ IP, digging the Mets a hole they could not get out of, as the Braves took the series with a 14-1 win Sunday night. We can hope that it was just a fluke outing for Porcello but neither his [...]
Edwin Diaz made a winner out of those who had "Game 2" in the pool predicting when he would blow his first save of the season, as he failed to close out a lead. The Braves tacked on more with the dreadful new extra inning rules and emerged with a 5-3 win Saturday. After a [...]
