Entering September, the Mets are in a position where they can reach the playoffs as a wild card. They are currently one game behind the Atlanta Braves for the last wild card spot in the National League. So unlike last season, the Mets will have meaningful September games to play for. Carlos Mendoza in his [...]
One of the trades that the Mets made before the Trading Deadline was acquiring Jesse Winker from the Washington Nationals this past Saturday night. Just like the other Mets trades, Winker may not be a splashy name that’ll make fans talk World Series contention. But this is a good, underrated acquisition that will benefit the [...]
Edwin Diaz has been the Mets closer since 2019. So far in his Mets tenure, he’s had some very high moments and some low moments too, saving games. What I’ve seen from Diaz’s impact with the Mets overall as closer, is that I believe that he makes his team go. Especially over the last three [...]
There have been many under-performing hitters in the Mets' lineup in 2024. One of them has been Jeff McNeil. It was only two seasons ago when McNeil finished the 2022 season with a .326 average, which not only won him the National League batting title, but it was also tops in Major League Baseball as [...]
The Mets have had some surprising moments during this 2024 season and the biggest surprise is probably Reed Garrett. The team's bullpen has been one of their biggest strengths to begin this year. Sure, the return of closer Edwin Diaz has a big part in it. But Garrett is also having a big say in [...]
The New York Mets are off to a sluggish start in 2024. They got swept in their first series vs the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend, and lost the first game of the current three game series to the Detroit Tigers on Monday, to start the year 0-4. Not a lot of things have gone [...]
Entering Spring Training, the door was wide open for Mark Vientos to be in the Mets' starting lineup long term, particularly at Designated Hitter. The Mets were willing to try some of their young prospects, to be a fixture in the lineup for the 2024 season, and Vientos was one of their hopefuls. However, he [...]
With the MLB regular season starting in a week, the Mets finalized their starting rotation. Along with Jose Quintana, Luis Severino, Sean Manaea and Adrian Houser, the Mets named Tylor Megill as the final piece in their current rotation. Megill is certainly no stranger to Mets fans. He has been in the majors since 2021 [...]
Brandon Nimmo has been the Mets’ primary leadoff hitter since 2017 and a very good one. He has been adequate getting on base in that role, whether it’s drawing walks, hits and even getting hit by pitches frequently. Getting on base has always been Nimmo’s biggest strength. But his power has also improved, as his [...]
Once again, New York Mets reliever Drew Smith will be one of the key relievers in the bullpen. With Edwin Diaz back, Smith will be expected to fill in once again in the seventh inning and at times in the eighth inning as well. Smith is currently the longest tenured Met in their bullpen. He [...]
The New York Mets already received some bad news last week when their ace pitcher Kodai Senga suffered an injury on his shoulder and will be sidelined for several weeks. He will certainly miss Opening Day and probably won’t be back until May. With the Mets not seeking outside help in the pitching market as [...]
One of the players that New York Mets fans are most looking forward to seeing is the return of their closer Edwin Diaz. There are many reasons for it. First, his presence in the ninth inning of a save situation. There was no doubt that Diaz’s presence at the end of games was sorely missed [...]
