Recently, the Mets have had more hitting success on the road than they've had in Citi Field. But early results in 2019 paint a different picture. So far this year, the Mets have a .777 OPS, led by a .428 SLG mark, in their home park. On the road, they drop to a .699 OPS, [...]
Last year Noah Syndergaard was 13-4 with a 3.03 ERA but it seemed like there was more complaining about his year than celebration over his numbers. Depending upon who you were talking to, he gave up too many steals, or too many hits, or he took too many pitches to put guys away, or he [...]
The Mets took the second game of the home series against the Marlins 4-1, setting up a golden opportunity for a Mother's Day sweep and a return to .500. Jacob deGrom was in control, allowing just one run over seven innings with eight strikeouts. Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara kept the Mets off balance allowing just [...]
There is a quote from author Stefan Emunds that reads “Time is an illusion, timing is an art.” Nothing could ring more true with the so far disappointing 2019 New York Mets. After opening up the season hot and on fire with offense, things have come to a freezing halt. In the beginning of the [...]
The Mets pushed across eight runs in the first inning to break out of their offensive slump, and that combined with another strong effort by Zack Wheeler led the Mets to an 11-2 win over the Marlins in the first of a three-game set Friday night in Citi Field. The first eight Mets batters reached [...]
From when he was hired and again in spring training, General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen spoke of going with "the best 25 players." This sounded like a simple enough concept, albeit one previous regimes never stuck with - either because there was pressure to play higher salaried players or because a manager favored veteran players. [...]
Wilmer Font’s Mets’ debut went very well, as he gave them four solid innings and his pitch count was low enough that he could have given another frame if Mickey Callaway didn’t reflexively pinch-hit for him with a runner on base and no outs. Font had two sacrifice hits last year in his time with [...]
Early in the year the Mets had success because six of their eight regulars were hitting. The only two starters not getting hits on a regular basis were Robinson Cano and Brandon Nimmo. But here in the month of May, the team has a .190/.235/.290 triple slash line. That's, um, not good. How bad is [...]
A day after it seemed the Mets bats were coming back to life, they went back to sleep, managing just two runs off Matt Strahm and the San Diego bullpen. Mets hitters struck out 13 times and again failed to support a solid pitching effort. New Met Wilmer Font made the start and gave us [...]
