They made it interesting as always, but the Mets came out of tonight's game against the Indians the 6-5 victors. Coming into the game, they seemed to be bidding for the "lowest scoring team award" this season. Their 20 total runs scored was higher than only the 0-9 Minnesota Twins. Has the Mets' offense awakened? [...]
Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud has gotten off to a brutal start. It’s early for sure, but the 27 year old has just two singles in 23 plate appearances. In fact the lone big hit to come from a catcher this season was courtesy of backup Kevin Plawecki, who may soon warrant more playing time if [...]
It can safely be said that so far, the 2016 New York Mets’ season isn’t anything we signed up for. First of all, there’s this stumbling, troubling 3-5 start. As with all statistics in any game, that’s the bottom line. Did you win or did you lose? The fact that the Mets – overall consensus [...]

The Mets sent Noah Syndergaard to the mound against Jose Fernandez and the Marlins in what turned out to be an unsurprising pitcher's duel. Unfortunately, this one ended much in the same way most of the team's games have ended so far this season. A loss, if that wasn't clear, to the Marlins 2-1. It [...]
The New York Mets know that pitching is going to win games, which is why they decided to add another quality arm to the back of their bullpen this offseason. Sandy Alderson signed Antonio Bastardo to a 2-year, $12 million contract, hoping that he would be a dominant arm out of the bullpen. That has [...]
If the Mets are going to crap the bed, does it have to be vs. the Phillies and Marlins? The Mets are now 2-4 and looking listless. Tonight is a game best left forgotten. Steven Matz got the first two batters of the game out in neat and efficient fashion. The third hitter, Christian Yelich, [...]
