Day games simply aren't for the Mets this season. Whether it be on Sunday or a weekday matinee, the game hasn't been kind. The negative pattern continued this afternoon when Martin Perez and the Texas Rangers defeated the Mets 5-1. The Mets went down early, when starter Rafael Montero allowed three runs in the first [...]
On Tuesday, the Mets defeated the Texas Rangers by a score of 5-4. They were led by an onslaught of home runs, and a strong outing by starter Chris Flexen. Flexen, who had not made it past three innings pitched yet, went 5.2 innings. Over that span, he was charged with three runs, while allowing [...]
For Sandy Alderson, the waters of the 2017 Trade Deadline were tricky to navigate. While only he knows the true intentions of the organization and what direction they want to go, it was expected by many that the Mets would sell at the deadline. Well, the Mets did sell. They shopped first baseman Lucas Duda [...]
Noah Syndergaard is as electric as they come in Major League Baseball. He has the personality of a mythical protagonist, and the type of velocity on a pitch that makes hitters shiver in their boots when they face him. After an astounding 2016 campaign, he was projected by many as the unquestioned ace of the [...]
In his return to where he is from, Michael Conforto shined. He had his fourth career multiple home run game, blasting two solo shots in his return. The more important of the two probably being the one that tied the game in the eighth for the Mets, as a rally that inning lead them to [...]
Not everyone's first career start is a magical storybook affair. Chris Flexen learned that the hard way last night, when his 0-2 curveball was rocked over the wall by Padres leadoff hitter Manuel Margot. Flexen would go on to only last three innings, as the Mets stumbled to defeat against the Padres, 7-5. In his [...]
The San Diego Padres handed the Mets only their second loss in their last eight games. Steven Matz was charged with the loss, his third straight. Matz lasted only three innings, and his work in that time was not pretty. He allowed nine hits, and six earned runs. He did not walk any batters. This [...]
Any way you slice it, David Wright will go down as a polarizing figure in New York Mets lore. His early days as part of the 2006 team that won 97 games proved that he was an elite third baseman in the league. As the years moved along, Wright became the face of the franchise [...]
The Mets offense is starting to make Citi Field seem like the home of their opponents, the Colorado Rockies' Coors Field. The Mets put up an astounding 9 runs tonight against the Rockies. The charge was lead by Jay Bruce, who delivered a three-run home run in the first inning. The Mets scored 8 of [...]
In a season that has been completely been derailed by injury, the Mets find themselves at 39-47 at the unofficial mid-point of the season. Prior to the season, they were thought to be contenders for a spot in the wild card game. They now find themselves 10.5 games out of a spot in that game, [...]
Steven Matz came back down to Earth today after pitching out of this world his last few starts. His streak of 17 straight scoreless innings was snapped in the first inning of today's game. Matz would go on to be responsible for four more earned runs in today's game. My gut reaction is that this [...]
Brace yourself for words you may not be ready to hear: the Mets should make a trade with their cross-town rival, the New York Yankees. The Yankees are currently in position to make the playoffs in a tightly contested A.L East. Much like the Mets though, the Yankees have been plagued by injuries. They currently [...]
