Edwin Diaz blew the save in the ninth inning and Jake Diekman couldn’t hold the lead in the 10th, as the Mets fell to the Rays, 7-6, Sunday afternoon. The Rays swept the three-game series and the Mets have now lost eight straight games in Tampa. For the third straight game, the Mets scored first, [...]
All of the early season buzz around pitching in the minor leagues for the Mets this season revolved around Christian Scott. And with the other-worldly strikeout numbers he was posting, it’s not hard to understand. And then Scott made his MLB debut last night and was electric. Perhaps the most impressive thing was that he [...]
Christian Scott was terrific in his MLB debut but the Mets’ offense was MIA in Tampa, resulting in a no-decision for Scott and a 3-1 loss to the Rays Saturday night. The loss drops the Mets under .500 for the first time since April 14. The Mets staked Scott to a 1-0 lead two batters [...]
All it took was a road trip to revive the Mets’ struggling bats. Unfortunately, the move away from Citi Field wasn’t as kind to the pitchers and the result was a 10-8 loss to the Rays Friday night in Tampa. The Mets jumped on top early, to the surprise of everyone, on a 3-run homer [...]
News broke yesterday that the Mets were planning on promoting top prospect Christian Scott to start Saturday, with plans to run a six-man rotation during a stretch where the team has 26 games in 27 days. It’s always exciting when a team gives a player a promotion from the minors on talent, rather than an [...]
Francisco Lindor didn’t start the game yet ended up with four RBIS, including two in the 1th inning, leading the Mets to a 7-6 win over the Cubs Thursday afternoon. The victory gave the Mets a split of the four-game series and put the club back over .500 at 16-15. The Cubs scored the go-ahead [...]
Pete Alonso was called out on a controversial play at the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning, sending the Mets to a 1-0 loss to the Cubs Wednesday night at Citi Field. The loss drops the Mets back to .500 for the season. Alonso reached on a HBP and moved to third base [...]
DJ Stewart broke up a 1-1 tie with a 3-run homer to power the Mets to a 4-2 win Tuesday night against the Cubs at Citi Field. The victory got the Mets back over .500 and they’re now 15-14 on the year. J.D. Martinez reached on an error with one out in the fifth inning [...]
One of the themes in recent years in regards to the Mets’ farm system was that it was short on pitching prospects, both in terms of high-end quality and overall depth. Coming into 2024, my opinion was that the first point was debatable and the second point was downright false. Let’s take a look at [...]
It’s hard to imagine a game getting off to a better start or having a more disappointing finish than this one. Brandon Nimmo staked the Mets to a 1-0 lead with a leadoff homer while Luis Severino took a no-hitter into the eighth inning. But it was all bad news from there, as the Mets [...]
Mark Vientos hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 11th to send the Mets to a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. The win salvaged the final game of the series and kept the Mets over .500, as their record stands at 14-13. The Mets trailed by [...]
One of the pleasant surprises of the 2024 season so far has been the play of Tyrone Taylor. When the Mets acquired him from the Brewers, the thought was that he was a strong fourth outfielder, one who could play all three outfield positions and be above-average defensively. Additionally, while a RHB, he did not [...]
