The Mets dropped game three of their four-game series against the Brewers in Milwaukee today, 7-4. Logan Verrett got the spot start this afternoon because of the doubleheader in Pittsburgh that threw the rotation off. The Mets needed him to pitch well and pitch deep to help an overworked bullpen. Unfortunately, he had trouble commanding [...]
An interesting point was brought up in the comments section of a recent post here at Mets360 regarding the state of the Mets' farm system. Specifically, there was concern that the drafting aspect of the Sandy Alderson regime's effort to rebuild the system since it took over in 2011 has been underwhelming to say the [...]
On draft day, the Mets took the opening game of their four game series against the Brewers in Milwaukee. Bartolo Colon continues to be an ageless wonder who gets it done with smoke, mirrors, and maybe a little black magic. He went seven innings while allowing eight hits but just one earned run. Of course, [...]

It was not a good day in Mets-land, as the Mets dropped both games of their twi-night doubleheader against the Pirates. Game 1: Pirates 3, Mets 1 Steven Matz started this one for the Mets. While he wasn't great, he certainly pitched well enough to win. He threw only five innings with eight hits, two [...]
The Mets offense has, despite a six-run outburst yesterday against the Marlins, obviously been struggling to score over the last month or so. In fact, their 87 total runs in the month of May was better than only the back-to-earth Phillies and the awful Braves. Their 14-15 record for the month, as unimpressive as it [...]
The Mets dropped the rubber game of their weekend series against the Dodgers 4-2 at Citi Field this evening. It was the Bartolo Colon versus Clayton Kershaw show, and it was amazingly not all that one-sided. Colon went 6 innings while giving up two earned runs and striking out three. It wasn't phenomenal, but he [...]
When Sandy Alderson took over as Mets General Manager before the 2011 season, it was common thinking that the farm system was in shambles. It was, for the most part, at least in terms of both high-end talent and depth. That's not to say that Omar Minaya didn't leave the team with some gems, however. [...]
In what was an awesome game, then an awful game, and then an awesome game again in the span of ten minutes, the Mets defeated the Dodgers 6-5 in walk-off fashion in the opening game of the series and of this home stand. The big story heading into the game was the debut of uber [...]
The Mets defeated the Brewers this afternoon at Citi Field 3-1, completing a three-game sweep and a successful 4-2 home stand. Noah Syndergaard had some trouble finding command of his fastball in the early going, but seemed to settle in with it in the third. From there, it was smooth sailing save a hiccup in [...]
Remember when the Mets led baseball in home runs but were not so good at driving runs in otherwise? People weren't concerned, then, of course, because the team had such a dominant rotation. We accepted that living with the long ball and dying with the long ball was a fact of life in this 2016 [...]
On a miserable, wet night at the park, the Mets fell to the Nationals this evening 1-7 in what was possibly the most meh game to ever meh. The game time was a long three hours and 42 minutes. Bartolo Colon was not sharp in this one, to say the least, and labored through most [...]
The day after Bartolo Colon hit his historic first home run, he offered Matt Harvey a bit of advice to get into the homer club. Harvey, Colon opined, needed to hit the weight room to turn his doubles into homers. While said in jest, Colon just may have been on to something there. The Mets' [...]
