Kodai Senga allowed just two hits over seven innings and the Mets hit three home runs en route to a 13-2 laugher over the Cardinals Saturday night in St. Louis. The victory gives the Mets the series win and they’ll go for the sweep tomorrow afternoon. The Mets gave Senga an early lead on another [...]
The Mets recalled Joey Lucchesi to give Kodai Senga an extra day of rest between starts. Lucchesi had been on the IL and made two brief rehab starts with Brooklyn. But he came up and did a very nice job, helping lead the Mets to a 7-1 win over the Cardinals Friday night in St. [...]
Yesterday in this space, we talked about what an unusual season it’s been for Brandon Nimmo. And we can say the same thing about Pete Alonso. Perhaps we’ve been spoiled with how consistent Alonso has been in his career, as he typically goes thru one slump of around 80 PA and then pounds the ball [...]
Pete Alonso homered to back a strong outing from Jose Quintana, leading the Mets to a 4-2 win over the Cardinals in the opening of a four-game series in St. Louis Thursday night. It was the fourth win in the last five games for the Mets. Alonso hit his 37th homer of the season in [...]
In a season where close to nothing has gone as planned, it’s hard to single out Brandon Nimmo’s play for the Mets. But it’s been quite the unusual year for Nimmo, almost like we have no idea who he is or what to expect. He’s the kind of guy where if everything went right, you [...]
DJ Stewart hit two home runs to power the Mets to an 8-3 win over the Pirates Wednesday afternoon at Citi Field. The victory gave the Mets the series win. This may seem like a laugher but it was good defense that kept the Mets in the game early. Pete Alonso made two diving stops, [...]
It’s tough to give up double digit walks and win. And the Mets allowed 10 BB and fell to the Pirates, 7-4, Tuesday night at Citi Field. In addition to the 10 walks, the Pirates also had nine hits and two HBPs. And as crazy as it may seem, this was a 1-1 game after [...]
After winning back-to-back games, the Mets are now 4-10 in the month of August. Their poor record is due to a variety of reasons but the three most likely culprits are facing good teams in the Orioles and Braves, a completely-expected swoon after the trade-deadline selloff and the remaining players on the team just not [...]
Yesterday came across an article that talked about Brett Baty, his struggles and what they hoped to accomplish with him in the minors. The article featured quotes from Syracuse hitting coach Collin Hetzler, who said this: “Being selectively aggressive is good, but at the same time you don’t want that to turn into taking heaters [...]
The Mets got to face another stiff pitcher and responded by scoring runs in the first six innings of the game, tying a home record set by the 1987 squad. The end result was a 7-2 win over the Pirates, in the first of three at Citi Field. Carlos Carrasco started for the Mets and, [...]
Yesterday’s win on Sunday Night Baseball notwithstanding, it’s been a tough road for the Mets since the big selloff at and near the trade deadline. It’s made following the minor league system more interesting than following the MLB club. We should always keep an eye on how the farm system is doing. But with the [...]
The Mets rallied from three runs down to take a four-run lead and held on for a 7-6 win over the Braves Sunday night in Citi Field. The win allowed them to avoid a four-game sweep. The Mets used a six-run fifth inning to build a 7-3 lead. The Mets sent 11 batters to the [...]
