The Mets put on a show tonight at Citi Field and walloped the Phillies 12-1. Noah Syndergaard got the start in this one and was fantastic. He pitched seven innings while giving up just one earned run on a solo homer and striking out seven. It was a great follow-up to his last start against [...]
The 2016 season started off with great promise and optimism. The team was coming off a World Series appearance, their starting rotation was primed to start what we all thought a long stretch of dominance of the National League, and they even managed to retain the services of one Yoenis Cespedes despite the odds. It [...]
The Mets lost to the Cardinals in St. Louis tonight 8-1. Jacob deGrom was once again knocked around. He lasted only 4.2 innings and was charged with 5 runs on 12 hits, including 3 home runs. According to the booth, it was the first time in Mets history that a Mets starting pitcher has had [...]
The Mets defeated the Giants this afternoon in San Francisco 9-5, snapping a three-game losing streak. Bartolo Colon started this one and provided the Mets with 6.1 solid innings. His final line was 9 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk (!), and 5 strikeouts (!!). It's always nice to see a good Bartolo start. The Mets [...]
The Mets lost to the Giants late last night in a drubbing that may very well have put this team and its fans on the cusp of packing it up for the season. The loss dropped them to 60-62 and 5.5 games back in the wild card, which will be challenging to make up. They're [...]

The Mets defeated the Padres at Citi Field tonight, and all it took was 11 innings. It brought them back to .500 and snapped their four-game losing streak. Jacob deGrom, continuing to prove he's this team's true ace, pitched a great one that he deserved to win but obviously didn't. His only mistake was not [...]
Hey, it's not all bad, right? It might not seem like it, and you may not believe it with the pending news on Zack Wheeler, but things actually could have been even worse for these 2016 Mets. If some folks got their way, we may not even talking about a wild card spot right now. [...]
The Mets lost to the Padres tonight at Citi Field by a score of 8-6. It was the Mets' fourth loss in a row, dropping them to 57-58. They hadn't been below .500 since April before this loss. Logan Verrett started this one and followed his bad previous start with an utterly garbage outing against [...]
The Mets lost a tough one against the Tigers in Detroit, 6-5. Logan Verrett started for the Mets. All they needed was for him to eat some innings and have just an average performance. Instead, he gave them 3.2 innings of seven-hit ball. His final line is ugly: 3.2 IP, 7 hits, 6 runs, 2 [...]
By most measures, Noah Syndergaard’s 2016 has been an improvement over his 2015 debut. He has a lower ERA, a FIP that’s more than a full run lower, his ERA+ is markedly better, and his strikeout rate is up a tad. In short, he’s taken the steps forward that we all hoped he would take [...]
After a bad loss last night, the Mets rebounded to defeat the Yankees at Yankee stadium tonight, 4-1, to split the four-game series. After a rough start on short rest his last time out, Bartolo Colon put in a great performance in this one. His line: 6.2 IP, 6 hits, 1 run, 0 BB, 1 [...]
The Mets lost to the Rockies 7-2 at Citi Field tonight after retiring Mike Piazza's number, dropping the first three games of the four-game set. It's also their fourth loss in a row overall. Bartolo Colon started this one for the Mets. The 43-year-old had a stellar, efficient outing in his last start so the [...]
