The Mets put up seven runs in the first three innings and cruised to a 16-4 win over the Braves Thursday afternoon in Atlanta. The victory gave the Mets the series win over the Braves and upped their record on the season to 5-7. Five Mets had multi-hit games as the team combined for 16 [...]
Early in the year we see wacky things due mostly to small samples. And nowhere is this more apparent than with Mets top prospect Christian Scott, who has two games pitched so far for Triple-A Syracuse. And in those two games, Scott has displayed the electric stuff that has so many people so high on [...]
For the second straight game, the Mets fell behind big early and then forged a comeback. This time they ran out of time, as they fell to the Braves, 6-5, Tuesday night in rainy Atlanta. Adrian Houser allowed 5 ER in 5 IP and it could have been worse than that if not for two [...]
The Mets designated Julio Teheran for assignment, calling up Dedniel Nunez to replace him on the active roster. The team clearly could use another bullpen arm right now and when Teheran’s spot in the rotation comes up again, they’ll be able to promote Jose Butto, as the 15-day window of his being optioned to the [...]
There are a lot of things which the David Stearns-Carlos Mendoza regime has bungled so far in their brief tenure in Queens. Signing Harrison Bader with the thought of making him a full-time player is the first thing that jumps to mind, although there are others. The handling of Jose Butto, the construction of a [...]
The Mets got three home runs to rally back from a 4-0 deficit to beat the Braves, 8-7, in the opener of a four-game series in Atlanta Monday night. After starting the year 0-5, the Mets have now won four of their last five games. Brandon Nimmo broke out of his slump in a major [...]
The Mets jumped out to a 3-0 lead behind the offensive exploits of Francisco Lindor and Sean Manaea and four relievers made it stand up, as the Mets notched a 3-1 win over the Reds Sunday afternoon to earn their first series win of the season. Lindor hit a one-out double past the third baseman [...]
It’s no secret how much trouble the Mets have had hitting here early in the 2024 season. We hope that the team can turn it around sooner rather than later. But while waiting for positive regression to occur, we can think in more abstract thoughts about hitting in general. Ted Williams, thought of as one [...]
N.C. State’s uplifting run in the NCAA Tournament came to an end in the Final Four, as their offense was non-existent in a 63-50 semi-final loss to Purdue Saturday. The Pack finish the season with a 26-15 record. If you had said that the defense would hold Purdue to 63 points, you’d feel pretty good [...]
The Mets jumped out to a 5-2 lead but the bullpen allowed seven runs in three innings and they wound up 9-6 losers to the Reds Saturday afternoon in Cincinnati. Each year it seems like there’s one pitcher that the offense shows up for and in the early going here in 2024, it appears that [...]
When you start the year losing your first five games, you can’t complain about winning the seventh game ugly. The Mets played just good enough to emerge with a 3-2 win over the Reds Friday night in Cincinnati. The Mets came into the contest averaging just 2.17 runs per game, which was 28th in the [...]
Back in the middle of March, there was a piece here called, "Jose Butto should be in the rotation over Adrian Houser." It was a good piece because it was a real opinion backed up with facts. Additionally, it was something just about no one was saying and even fewer were writing. Of course, even [...]
