Just because people say something over and over and over again – it doesn’t make it true. In politics, we see people lie consistently not necessarily because you’ll believe any particular lie; but rather so you don’t believe anything. But does that carry over to sports? That doesn’t sound right to me. Instead, it seems [...]
Luis Severino pitched the Mets’ first complete-game shutout since Jacob deGrom in 2021, leading the Mets to a 4-0 win over the Marlins Saturday afternoon. The victory clinches both the series win and the season-series win over their NL East rivals. Severino retired the side in order in the first, sixth and seventh innings. He [...]
Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo both crushed homers with an exit velocity of 107.7 mph in the fourth inning to power the Mets to a 7-3 win over the Marlins Friday night in Citi Field. The Mets have now scored 26 runs in their last four games after being held to one run in the [...]
During Thursday’s game, Steve Gelbs mentioned an article that was posted on ESPN.com by Jesse Rogers, in which it was stated that MLB was considering a radical rule change, one which would require starting pitchers to go six innings. It prompted a lot of discussion among the broadcasters and those of us in the Game [...]
Before the series started, if you were told that the Mets were going to score19 runs in three games, you’d feel pretty good that they won two games and it wouldn’t have surprised you if they swept. Instead, they won just once, and it wasn’t Thursday, as they fell to the A’s, 7-6, in a [...]
Between 2017-2021, Jesse Winker had a 129 OPS+ over 1,523 PA. And it seemed like he did the vast majority of his damage against the Mets. After a down season in 2022 and a dismal year in 2023, Winker rebounded with a strong start with the Nationals this season. Back to a 128 OPS+ in [...]
The Mets jumped on top early and added on throughout the game before finishing with a 9-1 win over the A’s Wednesday night at Citi Field. The win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Mets. The big star of the night was Pete Alonso, who had a four-hit game, including a double and a [...]
Paul Blackburn got lit up by his old teammates and the Mets opened their nine-game homestand with a 9-4 loss to the A’s Tuesday night. • Mets had nine hits and five walks but struck out 13 times • Francisco Lindor, Jesse Winker and Jose Iglesias each had two hits • Francisco Alvarez and Harrison [...]
Since the world loves lists
For the second straight game the Mets were shut out, as they fell to the Mariners, 4-0, Saturday night in Seattle. With the loss, the Mets fell behind the Braves and out of Wild Card position and dropped to 4-5 on the road trip. Francisco Lindor led off with a hit and one out later, [...]
Most times a 6-0 loss is easy to write off as just one of those games. But this one sticks in my craw for multiple reasons. Regardless, it was a bad start to the three-game series in Seattle Friday night. Jose Quintana started and despite what his final line looks like, he pitched a good [...]
Reed Garrett has made five minor league rehab appearances and Sean Reid-Foley has made two, with both of them in Triple-A for their last game. In other words, they’re about to be activated any day. And it’s far from certain who will go to make room for them. One of the people on the bubble [...]
