Amed Rosario the last three weeks is looking like the guy who many talent evaluators considered one of the top prospects in the game a year ago. He’s hitting at a good clip, he’s running the bases and he’s making plays in the field. It’s a giant step up from where he was after his [...]
The Mets’ bullpen again gave up a bunch of runs late, leading to a 7-4 loss to the Cubs Monday night in Chicago. After a Kevin Plawecki homer in the top of the seventh inning tied the score, Jerry Blevins came on to start the bottom of the inning and proceeded to allow three straight [...]
The Mets signed Jason Vargas coming off an All-Star season in 2017. But he got hurt at the end of Spring Training and struggled mightily upon his return. But in his last three starts, Vargas has been the guy that the Mets anticipated. Has he turned the corner?
The narrative has evolved to the point that all of the Mets’ free agent acquisitions prior to the 2018 season were a colossal mistake. Meanwhile, Todd Frazier is in the middle of a nice streak and his ability to contribute with the bat, on the field and even on the bases show he’s still the [...]
The Mets used power pitching and power hitting to earn a 5-3 win over the Giants Wednesday night in Citi Field. Noah Syndergaard earned his team-leading ninth win by going six strong innings. He allowed just one walk and totaled six strikeouts in the game. And the Giants did not have a single stolen base [...]
While most people’s thoughts have turned to waiver deals and the 2019 roster, the Mets’ pitching is quietly putting together a fine month here in August. They rank second in the National League with a 3.25 ERA and they lead the league with a 1.113 WHIP. Perhaps most surprisingly of all is that they’re doing [...]
On Friday night, Noah Syndergaard allowed five stolen bases. At some point during the telecast, Gary Cohen wondered aloud how many of those runners came around to score. In Friday’s game, not one of the five did. But that doesn’t mean that it happened that way earlier. Cohen seemed to think that it was a [...]
Jacob deGrom gave the Mets another outstanding start and the offense contributed just enough to give him his third straight win, this one a 3-1 victory over the Phillies Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia. With fellow CY Award candidates Aaron Nola and Max Scherzer pitching very well yesterday, deGrom not only held serve – he upped [...]
The Mets couldn’t make it three straight double-digit offensive outbursts, as they dropped the second game of the doubleheader against the Phillies, 9-6. This was the third doubleheader of the year for the Mets and all three have resulted in splits. The game started off as a continuation of the first game, as the first [...]
If you thought the Mets had an offensive explosion last night, you should have seen them Thursday afternoon, as they erupted for two dozen runs as they downed the Phillies, 24-4, in the first game of a doubleheader. Amed Rosario got things started with a leadoff homer. Rosario finished the day with a four-hit game [...]
Coming into the season, the Mets’ offense was supposed to be led by the C & C boys – Yoenis Cespedes and Michael Conforto. But it hasn’t worked out that way at all. Cespedes has been limited to just 38 games and while he hit okay while active, the hope was that he’d provide more [...]
The Mets broke out the long ball and combined with the pitching of Jacob deGrom earned an 8-5 win over the Yankees Monday night and a split of the Subway Series. The Mets jumped on top early, as Amed Rosario hit the first leadoff homer of his career. It was one of five homers for [...]
