The Mets are quickly gaining credibility around the league even after four months of mediocrity at the dish. Much of the reason that the Mets have struggled at the plate in 2015 is the absence of the heart and soul of the Metropolitan offense: David Wright. His presence in the Mets dugout almost guarantees a [...]
The Trading Deadline has come and gone and Sandy Alderson has looked like a hero bringing in both help for the offense and for the bullpen. He has always been just a touch slower in his approach to the active roster though, so now is the time for him to continue his drive towards October [...]
The Mets scored three runs in the seventh inning for a come-from-behind 4-2 win over the Rockies in Citi Field Monday night. A single and two walks loaded the bases with two outs for Curtis Granderson in the seventh. He did a great job of working the count and was hit by a pitch to [...]
We baseball fans tend to be a passionate bunch. We lend more credence to our hearts than our minds, as much as we embrace sabremetrics. That’s why almost every Met fan is wrong about today’s Michael Cuddyer reinstatement. GM Sandy Alderson announced Cuddyer would return Monday, but played coy about the corresponding move until well [...]
The Mets have traded away more than a little of the pitching they once had in their minor league system. With Michael Fulmer, Casey Meisner, Luis Cessa and others all playing for new teams, one might think that the Met farm system is bereft of talent, but that is not the case. The Mets have [...]
While the big league ball club is playing some of the best baseball it has played all year, the Mets Triple-A affiliate has two players that are reaching their potential pretty quickly. Dilson Herrera and Brandon Nimmo have been top prospects in the organization for a good amount of time, but they are putting it [...]
While you can't win them all, that was a little discouraging. Bartolo Colon was not sharp, again. He has alternated good and bad starts since July 7th, and even though he didn't get pounded, it was just enough out of the reach of the Mets offense. Speaking of that offense, the last six batters in [...]
The Mets are in a race for the playoffs and most nights Juan Lagares is on the bench. It’s not something most of us, much less his avid supporters, pictured coming into the season. Yet, viewed within the roller coaster ride that’s been his career with the Mets, it makes perfect sense. Lagares’ rise to [...]
All good things must come to an end. The seven-game win streak came to an end tonight as the Rays defeated the Mets 5-4. Noah Syndergaard struggled tonight as he went four innings and gave up five runs. The first inning was brutal for the young pitcher, as four runs came across. Curtis Granderson continues [...]
