Poll: Which of the past two games for the Mets has been more significant?

What a difference a day makes! After Wednesday's disheartening effort against the Braves, the Mets followed it up with their best ninth-inning comeback in over a generation. It may not be possible to have statement games in early May but both of these contests felt significant when they happened. After sweeping a doubleheader on Tuesday, [...]

Poll: Did the first week change your expectations of the 2022 Mets?

My opinion is that when Spring Training first opened most Mets fans were feeling very good about the team. Then came the injury to Jacob deGrom and the curious trade to add the second coming of Scott Rice and no longer was their over-brimming confidence. Then the team started the year on the road and [...]

Poll: Should the Mets have made different free agent choices and signed Carlos Rodon?

Once the lockout was lifted, one of the first free agents signed was Carlos Rodon, who inked a 2/$44 deal with the Giants, with an opt-out clause after the first season. Rodon was my preferred pitcher for the Mets to add. There's no denying Rodon's injury history. But with guys like Tylor Megill and David [...]

Poll: Which player on the trade block will have the best 2022?

Sure, they might have been willing to deal Davis but not the other two. But then 2021 happened. Is the team's willingness to deal guys [...]

Poll: How should Mets treat Carlos Carrasco’s first-inning troubles?

It’s hard to say which has been more disappointing this season – losing Carlos Carrasco for half the year or watching him pitch once he came off the IL. All of the focus has been what he’s done in the first inning and it’s hard to argue with that focus. Carrasco has a 14.73 ERA [...]

Poll: How will Noah Syndergaard fare without his slider?

Noah Syndergaard made his first rehab appearance yesterday and gave up a home run to the first batter he faced. Afterwards he had a press conference where he disclosed that doctors have advised him not to throw his slider the rest of this season, fearing that's what caused his setback earlier this year. Syndergaard expressed [...]

Poll: How many wins will Mets get in next 13 games against the Dodgers and Giants?

The Mets will now play their toughest stretch of the season, as they play 13 consecutive games against the Dodgers and Giants. The good news is that after playing their worst ball of the year, the Mets have won three straight games and the offense seems to be showing signs of life. The bad news [...]
