The New York Mets made a grand entrance to Boston on Friday night, as they slugged their way to an 8-0 victory over the Red Sox. The Mets set a tone for their offensive performance in the first inning of the game, as a Jay Bruce doubled to drive in Michael Conforto. This would be [...]
It was a successful day for the New York Mets, as they swept the Miami Marlins in a double header,4-3 in the first game and 5-2 in the second game. The first game was one packed with power both on the mound and on the plate. The Mets starter for the game was Steven Matz, [...]
On a day where the rain came in buckets, the Mets were able to snag their second consecutive series after they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 6-4.

Finally, it seems that Amed Rosario has taken the next step in his major league career. After being bounced around the lineup, seemingly not being able to find consistency, it seems as if he has turned the corner at the leadoff spot.

The New York Mets have been criticized throughout the whole season for the way that they have performed on the field.

The New York Mets allowed the Philadelphia Phillies to run all over them, and the Phillies in turn defeated them 4-2. With Noah Syndergaard on the mound, you usually can expect two things: that he will throw a good outing, and that the opposing team will steal a lot of bases. Well, Syndergaard was not [...]
Austin Jackson was never meant to hit .242 with the San Francisco Giants.
