Really, Mets360 readers, what's left to say? It wouldn't be completely honest to say that it was hard to not write some angry tirade about the team in this space. It was pretty easy, actually. That's because I've joined many Mets fans in moving past anger and into something much worse: apathy. This isn't uncommon. [...]
Yesterday Noah Syndergaard threw what he and manager Terry Collins considered his finest major league game to date. It's hard to argue. He cruised through eight innings, walking none and striking out five, while needing only 89 pitches to do it. He touched 98 mph as late as the eighth inning and used his off-speed [...]
As of the writing of this article, the Mets are 26-11 at home. That's a welcome change over the last few seasons, as they've struggled to win at Citi Field. In fact, they haven't finished over .500 at home since 2010. In contrast, they're just 10-22 on the road. Not only is that the worst [...]
Every season I try to attend a few of the Mets' minor league affiliate games to see the future in action. This past week I did just that and had the pleasure of catching a Double-A Eastern League game between the Binghamton Mets and the Orioles' Bowie Baysox on June 11 in Bowie, Maryland. Please [...]
The Mets are firmly into their six-man rotation experiment and so far the results have been....wait, what's that you say? They're already ditching it? Well, that certainly didn't last long. The arguments for and against such a rotation structure have been discussed, but it seems as though in the end it was just a bit [...]
The title of this piece seems beyond obvious, right? However, one of the more popular current Mets topics concerns the importance of their performances against teams at or above .500 and against teams below it. Specifically, the discussion centers around whether or not it is realistically possible for the team to make the postseason by [...]
Alright Mets fans, things are not looking so good at the moment. We've entered that period of the season, which appears to occur earlier every year, where it seems as though anything that can go wrong inevitably does go wrong. The team finds many ways to lose, whether it's a poor starting pitching performance, the [...]
The Mets' loss to the Phillies last night set their record at 18-11. They no longer sit atop baseball, which was nice but ultimately temporary. They still hold the top spot in the NL East, though, a situation both unexpected and welcome. The surging Nationals, 8-2 in their last ten games to the Mets' 4-6, [...]
Early last month we wrote about some select Mets prospects that the team had been uncharacteristically aggressive in promoting to start the 2015 season. It was uncharacteristic in the sense that the team has generally been somewhat conservative with many of their prospects under General Manager Sandy Alderson's regime. It's unclear whether it was a [...]
One of the bigger questions heading into the 2015 season was how much production the Mets could realistically expect from their aging corner outfielders Curtis Granderson and Michael Cuddyer. The Mets signed Granderson in the winter of 2013 to what remains the largest free-agent contract during Sandy Alderson's time as the team's General Manager. The [...]
We're still very early in the season, which means we're still deep into small sample size territory. That doesn't mean we can't start analyzing what's happened so far, though, especially against the backdrop of the questions with which we entered the season. One of those major questions regarded what we could expect from a post-surgery [...]
The St. Lucie Mets recently announced their 2015 roster, and it is chock-full of exciting prospects. First-rounders outfielder Michael Conforto (2014) and first baseman Dominic Smith (2013) headline a group a position prospects that also includes budding prospect darling shortstop Amed Rosario and third baseman Jhoan Urena, who is gaining some recognition as well. Outfielders [...]
