On a night of solemn ceremony the Mets had their sites set on helping their ace and continuing their late season surge, but the vexing Miami Marlins had other ideas. Jacob deGrom was sensational as usual, but again, his teammates failed to provide enough support for a win. Not only did they only muster one [...]
Whether he ultimately wins the Cy Young award or not, Jacob deGrom is having a season for the ages. The numbers he's putting up don't just put him among the league leaders this season, but also in select company historically. He's also been setting some new Mets standards as well. deGrom's scintillating 1.68 ERA is [...]
The Mets have six remaining games against the Phillies, who are battling for a playoff spot, three games behind the Braves in the NL East and 4.5 games out of the second wild card. Anyone else looking forward to peeing in their punch bowl?
Noah Syndergaard pitched his best game of the season to lead the Mets to a 4-1 win over the Giants for the series win in San Francisco. Syndergaard notched the first complete game of his career and was in command from the first pitch, striking out 11 and allowing just two hits over nine innings. [...]
The mysterious and chronic leg ailments of our best hitter were finally traced to heel spurs that would end Yoenis Cespedes 2018 season. According to team physicians, Cespedes had a successful first surgery of one heel and, following a few months of rest, will have surgery on the other heel. This will be followed by [...]
The Mets announced that first baseman Peter Alonso will not be joining the team in September, despite mashing 33 home runs and driving in 112 runs between double and triple A and winning defensive player of the month honors. What do you think the reasoning is behind this? A) Roster crunch. The Mets don't want [...]
It's players' weekend and that means it's time for those alternate uniforms featuring fun nicknames. Some are clever like "PTBNL" (Josh Phegley) and "<box emoji> <hamburger emoji>" (Brad Boxberger) and some like "Buster" (duh, Buster Posey), eh, not so much. The Mets, like the rest of MLB, have their share of cute and not-so-cute jerseys [...]
Jacob deGrom was terrific, but to beat Madison Bumgarner who has never lost to the Mets, you need to be flawless. Luck helps too, and deGrom had none of it. deGrom struck out 10 and allowed just one earned run in six innings so he keeps his Major League leading ERA intact, but he takes [...]
The Mets have been playing pretty good ball of late. After the worst June imaginable that derailed the season, the Mets have played .500 ball since July 1. We’ve got a healthy and mostly effective rotation, Michael Conforto is hitting again, we got dead cat bounces out of Jose Bautista and now Austin Jackson, and [...]
This week has been a pretty good one for Mets fans. We beat the Yankees, the bats are alive and David Wright is making an improbable comeback. And, look, here comes Jay Bruce too. There's still a lot of baseball to be played. What's holding your interest?
The Mets wasted a rare solid outing from Jason Vargas as the bullpen coughed up two long balls and the middle of the order failed to come through with any hits. Vargas held the Orioles to one run through five innings and entered the sixth inning with a 2-1 lead, courtesy of RBI singles by [...]
The Mets' young bullpen arms held the Marlins in check long enough to give the Mets a chance, but the offense never came through. Instead after Bobby Wahl, Paul Sewald, and Tyler Bashlor combined to put four zeros on the board, Jacob Rhame entered the game and needed just seven pitches to give the game away in the [...]
