The Phillies used a three-run sixth inning to claim a 4-2 win over the Mets Sunday in a game delayed at the start by rain. The game marked the return of Jacob deGrom but the Mets hardly got a vintage version of their ace. He needed 45 pitches to escape the first inning and did [...]
The Mets’ catching situation has had fans frustrated for years. A majority of people seemingly wanted the club to pursue an upgrade during the offseason but Sandy Alderson consistently said he was happy with the duo he had.

That feels a bit unreal as the lineup is composed of four anchors and three under-performing starting outfielders. Jay Bruce and Yoenis Cespedes appear to be coming around at the plate, which will [...]

Vargas was supposed to give the Mets innings but he turned in an outing reminiscent of what everyone has found lacking from Messrs [...]
