The Mets came into the matchup with Jason Vargas taking the hill for the first time this season. Some fans noted that Vargas could have been skipped, as Jacob deGrom could have pitched on five days rest. The game started off with the Mets spreading hits around the field as they scored five runs in [...]
On April Fools' Day, the Mets and Miami Marlins treated us to some foolish baseball. Miscues and misplays -- with a generous dash of fine pitching, to be fair -- were the story of this game. Caleb Smith struck out the New Yorks pretty easily in the top of the first, expending a scant 15 [...]
The Mets came into the day hoping for an opening series sweep of the Nationals, but eventually fell to the divisional rival on a Trea Turner walk-off home run in the 9th inning. It was his second homer in a 3 Run 4 RBI effort for the young shortstop, who also added a stolen base [...]
In a match up between hard-throwing number two starters Noah Syndergaard and Stephen Strasburg, it was the bullpens that determined the outcome of this game. The Mets relievers were mostly up to the task, but the Nats' couldn't get anyone out as the Mets tallied seven runs in the last two innings to turn a [...]
Jacob deGrom tossed six shutout innings, Robinson Cano delivered two RBIs, including a solo homer, and the back of the Mets’ bullpen slammed the door shut to lead the Mets to a 2-0 win over the Nationals on Opening Day in Washington. It was billed as a pitching duel between the top two hurlers in [...]
The playoffs are filled with teams that, for the most part, deserve to be there. Now that we are at the League Championship round, there are players that are amongst the elite in the league. The Dodgers, Brewers, Red Sox, and Astros all have players that are talented, but possess a quality that can only [...]
If this weekend is any kind of harbinger of anything, 2019 is going to fun on most days, frustrating on others. On the day the fans gave Jose Reyes a mini-me version of David Wright's sendoff, Noah Syndergaard changed his geeky nickname today from "Thor," to "Th0r." He completely shut down Miami with a five-hit [...]
In the midst of a 1-0 13 inning win over the Miami Marlins, New York Mets fans were treated to what now can only be considered a gift to them. David Wright took the field one last time, and took two at bats as he was able to waive good bye to the Flushing faithful [...]
Though the Mets lost this game in pretty listless fashion, there was one spectacular highlight. The Captain, David Wright, made his first game appearance in more than two years and received a standing ovation. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Wright stepped to the plate, seeming as nervous as a rookie. The cameras panned [...]
A rarity happened in the rubber game between the rubber game between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves on Thursday night. They defeated the Braves 4-1, off of a strong pitching performance from, who else, Jason Vargas. Vargas, who draws as much ire from the Mets fan base as Anthony Swarzak (who was also [...]
Jacob deGrom capped his season with a magnificent outing, leading the Mets to a 3-0 win over the Braves Wednesday night in Citi Field. In a dominating effort, deGrom two-hit the Braves over eight shutout innings. He did not allow a walk and finished with 10 Ks. That gave him exactly 1,000 strikeouts in his [...]
The Mets blew a game they could have won with a decent bullpen, but there's a bit more to unpack from this game. David Wright was officially activated in time for the game, but though fans at Citi Field were chanting for him to come in as a pinch hitter, it didn't happen. The game [...]
