After taking the opener in the series against the Phillies, Jacob deGrom and the Mets fell tonight, 9-1. The game started off promisingly for the Mets and their ace, when the Mets cashed in on a first inning run opportunity via a Travis d'Arnaud RBI double. This double was one of five for the Mets [...]
Mets fans were treated with a win on this Labor Day holiday. They opened their home stand with a win against their division rival Philadelphia Phillies.

Between the 2015 and 2016 seasons, Jeurys Familia had 94 saves combined. 2016 was his best season to date, with 51 saves and an All-Star appearance. Going into the 2017 season, the Mets expected him to be the anchor that held together the back end of the Mets bullpen. He missed the first 15 games [...]
When you see that stat line of 8.1 innings pitched, with no runs, three hits, and 8 strikeouts from a Mets pitcher, you'd probably expect it to come from Jacob deGrom. Against the Reds tonight though, those stats were produced by Rafael Montero, who earned his third win of the season. He did not let [...]
In a season full of lows, it is often hard to find the deepest depths of that despair. Injury ridden and beaten down, the Mets limped into Cincinnati hoping to face a Reds team just as lowly as they were. What they found instead may have been their lowest point of the season, coming by [...]
On December 6th, 2013, the New York Mets made the decision to sign Curtis Granderson from their crosstown rivals, the New York Yankees.

Going into today, the New York Mets were 2-10 in Sunday home games this season. Giancarlo Stanton and his Miami Marlins ensured that record would not improve. The Mets suffered yet another loss this Sunday, falling to the Marlins 6-4. Misplayed defense and squandered offensive opportunities led to the loss. On the mound, Jacob deGrom [...]
Something strange happened the other night for the Mets. Travis d'Arnaud made his first career start at third base for the team. Although he rotated often with Asdrubal Cabrera, the fact of the matter is that he started there. By doing this, the team could be subtly sending a message that the position is potentially [...]
On a night where the Mets looked to even up the Subway Series, the Yankees had other plans. The Yankees defeated the Mets, 5-3. Robert Gsellman got the start for the Mets, his first since returning from injury. He is taking the rotation spot of Seth Lugo, who recently became injured. In his start, Gsellman [...]
An ugly streak has come to an end for the New York Mets on Sunday. They ended a streak of six straight Sunday losses with their 6-2 win over the Phillies. The winning effort was lead by a strong starting effort by Chris Flexen and a good day at the plate for Curtis Granderson. On [...]
