Last night’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies showcased how much Juan Lagares impacts this Mets offense. Everyone knows how good he plays on the defensive side on the ball, as he makes plays that leave everyone watching in awe. There is an excitement watching Lagares play that can remind fans of watching Jose Reyes play, [...]

Every position player in the lineup had a hit today, while Curtis Granderson, Daniel Murphy, Wilmer Flores and Lucas Duda all had multiple. Five of the Mets 14 total hits were for extra-bases, and the Mets got just enough pitching from their relievers to keep the pesky Phillies' offense from mounting a comeback. Alex Torres [...]

From all indications, the Mets spent a fair amount of time trying to trade a veteran starting pitcher this past offseason. The response from other teams was either low-ball offers or no offers at all, as they tried to pry loose Noah Syndergaard, instead. You can’t blame a team for trying to get Syndergaard. But [...]

Jonathan Papelbon came on to get [...]

At 18-10 and comfortably in first place, the Mets are clearly doing something right. Actually, they’re doing a few things right. The starting rotation has been terrific and the bullpen, despite the injuries and suspension, has been amazing.
