Carlos Carrasco continued the quality efforts from a Mets starting pitcher, as he struck out nine in 6.2 IP, helping the Mets to a 6-2 win over the Reds Tuesday night at Citi Field. In the last 16 games, the Mets are 14-2. Francisco Lindor got the Mets on the board first with a two-run [...]
Max Scherzer pitched seven shutout innings. Jacob deGrom put up 5.2 perfect innings. So, what would Chris Bassitt do for an encore? He pitched eight innings and allowed just an unearned run, leading the Mets to a 5-1 win over the Reds Monday night at Citi Field. In the chatter, we were wondering if Bassitt [...]
Jacob deGrom threw 5.2 perfect innings while the Mets knocked Spencer Strider out in the third inning as they defeated the Braves, 5-2, and took the 5-game series, 4-1 over their closest competitor in the NL East. For anyone who worried how deGrom would do after missing over a year with various injuries, he answered [...]
As Mets fans, we’ve watched Max Scherzer compete against us for a number of years and we saw one of his finest outings, when he threw a no-hitter with 17 strikeouts, missing out on a perfect game only due to an error, back in 2015. Also as Mets fans, we’ve seen a player have a [...]
For the second time this season, the Mets swept a doubleheader from the Braves, winning the opener by an 8-5 score and the nightcap by a 6-2 margin Saturday at Citi Field. The common denominator in the two games was excellent starting pitching for the Mets. David Peterson was recalled from the minors and he [...]
Many years ago in a Game Chatter, likely down the stretch in 2015, I made a little comment that Metsense likes to remind me of every now and then. My comment then was, “offense is fun!” If you’ve been following the Mets for any length of time, you can list a whole bunch of pitchers [...]
The Mets gave the Braves a taste of their own medicine, as they slugged four home runs en route to a 6-4 win in the opener of the crucial five-game set Thursday night at Citi Field. Tyler Naquin hit the Mets’ first homer in the second inning, a solo shot which made it 2-0 Mets. [...]

Less than 24 hours after taking the night off because Jacob deGrom was on the mound, the Mets offense roared back, banging out 14 hits, with eight of those going for extra-bases. They raced out to a 9-0 lead and held on for a 9-5 win over the Nationals, taking the rubber match of the [...]
Jacob deGrom was very good in his return to the mound but neither the “B” relievers nor the offense did much to further the cause, as the Mets had their seven-game win streak snapped with a 5-1 loss to the Nationals Tuesday night in Washington. Some wondered if deGrom would try to ease off the [...]
The Mets made a trade on deadline day but not the blockbuster that some might have hoped for a few days ago. With Shohei Ohtani likely not being dealt and Juan Soto going to the Padres, the Mets traded for Darin Ruf, sending J.D. Davis, Thomas Szapucki , Nick Zwack and Carson Seymour to the [...]
With his home run that clinched Monday night’s game, Francisco Lindor has now hit safely in 19 of his last 20 games, with six multi-hit games in that stretch. During that streak, he has 91 PA and is slashing .337/.396/.602 with 11 XBH, including 5 HR. He’s been nothing short of terrific, even if it’s [...]
