The Mets fell to the Rockies at Coor's field this evening 5-2, dropping their road trip record to 4-5. At least it started before 9pm? It was the same old story for Matt Harvey this evening, as he held the Rockies scoreless through the first three frames and simply fell apart in the middle innings [...]
Welp. You can't win them all, right? The Mets dropped the final game of the series against the Giants on a soggy, miserable day at Citi Field 6-1, snapping their eight-game winning streak. There's no shame in losing to Madison Bumgarner, even if he didn't have his A game. It was a pitching duel that [...]
It wasn't that long ago that we were discussing the sputtering Mets offense and how it came limping out of an awful Spring Training. The team was at or near the bottom of the league in many of the most prevalent offensive categories. To those watching, the lineup was clearly not firing on all cylinders, [...]
It was a historic night for the Mets in their 13-1 win in their series opener against the Giants at Citi Field. It was their seventh win in a row and put them at 14-7 for the season. The obvious highlight here was the 12-run third inning. It was the craziest thing. The 12 runs [...]
The Mets opened up their homestand and series against the Reds with a win, 5-3. It was the kind of game that seemed to just drag, but it was a win nonetheless. The team is now 11-7 on the year. Noah Syndergaard looked like something resembling a mere mortal in this one, pitching 6 2/3 [...]
The Mets defeated the Braves 3-2 in a crisp, mostly pleasant game this afternoon. The win completed a three game sweep of the Braves, their first series sweep of the season, and was the seventh straight win for the Mets in Atlanta. The team completed their road trip at 7-2. Not too shabby. Their record [...]
After what he deemed a successful bullpen session before his start on Friday night, Matt Harvey told manager Terry Collins that he was “back.” After his start on Friday, that was clearly not the case. The final line doesn't look too awful, but it was certainly less than Harvey-like and not what we've come to [...]
The Mets took on the Indians in Cleveland this afternoon in the rubber game of the series and came away the with shut out the win, 6-0. It was the first series win for the Mets this young season. Steven Matz was looking to bounce back after his horrid season debut, and he was phenomenal. [...]
The Mets' offense, as a whole, has sputtered out of the gate. That's no secret, and it's been frustrating for fans as well as, apparently, Terry Collins. The poor performance has been a team effort, mostly, with a general failure to execute despite some pretty good individual starts to the season. In fact, the differences [...]
They made it interesting as always, but the Mets came out of tonight's game against the Indians the 6-5 victors. Coming into the game, they seemed to be bidding for the "lowest scoring team award" this season. Their 20 total runs scored was higher than only the 0-9 Minnesota Twins. Has the Mets' offense awakened? [...]
The Mets sent Noah Syndergaard to the mound against Jose Fernandez and the Marlins in what turned out to be an unsurprising pitcher's duel. Unfortunately, this one ended much in the same way most of the team's games have ended so far this season. A loss, if that wasn't clear, to the Marlins 2-1. It [...]
Raise your hand if you predicted a pitching duel between Bartolo Colon and Vince Velasquez. Well, that's exactly what we witnessed in Colon's first start of the 2016 season. Unfortunately, the Mets lost the duel 1-0. The aforementioned Colon carried over his dominance of the Phillies from 2015, striking out seven over six innings. His [...]
