For whatever reasons, the Mets were dumped by two Triple-A affiliates in Norfolk and Buffalo. After those cities chose other teams, the Mets were left in the less-than-ideal position of having their top affiliate in the PCL, first in New Orleans and then in Las Vegas. And then the Mets did something really smart. They [...]
Several years ago, Mets360 shut down for a bit because everyone was so amazingly depressing that reading the negative comments day after day after day was affecting my mental health. At the risk of opening up that can of worms again, please use today’s article to vent about anything and everything that’s disappointing you about [...]
Well, if you didn’t particularly like the results from the Wild Card series last year, my hope is that you didn’t watch this game. The Mets continued to make Joe Musgrove look like a Hall of Famer while Max Scherzer continued to serve up gopher balls. The end result was a 6-2 loss in the [...]
The Mets struck out 17 times and the rare ABs where they made contact didn’t fare a lot better, as they fell to the Padres, 3-1, Saturday night in San Diego. The loss snapped a six-game winning streak. The big story was Blake Snell, who absolutely dominated the Mets the first five innings. They put [...]
It’s been a weird season for Francisco Lindor. It’s been well documented how he’s had more extra-base hits than singles virtually all year. And those lack of singles has been a main contributor to his poor AVG. But his AVG has taken a nice uptick in the past two games, as he’s banged out eight [...]
The Mets rallied from an early 3-1 deficit to force extra innings, plated four runs in the top of the 10th and then hung on for a 7-5 win over the Padres Friday night in San Diego. It was their sixth-straight win, which is the longest winning streak of the year for the club. Once [...]
This is the 62nd season of Mets baseball. If you were a fan for the first 40 years, you saw two World Series wins. You also saw a lot of rotten baseball and some pretty inept teams when it came to hitting home runs. Many people were worried about the HR capabilities of the 2023 [...]
Carlos Carrasco threw eight shutout innings and Francisco Lindor had a 5-hit game to lead the Mets to a 9-0 win over the Diamondbacks and a sweep of the three-game series in Arizona. The Mets have now won five straight games, tying their longest winning streak of the season. It’s the third time this year [...]
The Mets rallied for two runs in the ninth inning after two were out to earn a 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks Wednesday night in Arizona. It was the Mets’ fourth-straight win. With Andrew Chafin and his 2.83 ERA on the mound looking to lock down the save, Francisco Alvarez had a 2-2 count and [...]
Beggars can’t be choosers. You’d like to think that with Max Scherzer pitching on a day that the offense scored eight runs, you wouldn’t have to use all four of your best relievers. But that’s what happened. Hey, at least the Mets won, as they downed the D’Backs, 8-5, Tuesday afternoon in Phoenix. It was [...]
One of the main stories of the 2023 Mets is guys who were good for the team last year have been considerably less successful here in the current season. You can probably name the main offenders off the top of your head. But one guy who doesn’t get lumped in with the underachievers but who [...]
Congratulations to Pete Alonso for being selected as the Mets’ representative to the 2023 All-Star game! It’s the third All-Star selection for Alonso, which ties him with Keith Hernandez for most All-Star games by a Mets first baseman. Alonso celebrated the news, which came shortly before Sunday’s game, with a double and a homer in [...]
