Eric Campbell deserves to be playing more. Actually, Eric Campbell deserves to be starting. It’s obvious that the Mets are having struggles offensively. Bobby Abreu, Chris Young, Eric Young Jr. and Curtis Granderson make up the four potential outfielders on a daily basis. Campbell hit .326 with a .437 OBP in two seasons at AAA [...]
Mets fans, especially those on Twitter, have a fascination with Daniel Murphy. The #ImWith28 movement seems to grow with each and every game, as Murphy is proving to be one of the Mets better hitters. After last night’s game, Murphy is tied with Paul Goldschimidt of Arizona for the National League lead in hits with [...]
It is not anything new. The Mets bullpen has always been a weakness of the team. When Bobby Parnell was shut down for the entire 2014 season, it felt like more of the same. Sandy Alderson had never been one to put a lot of stock, or money for that matter, into a bullpen. So [...]
When Dave Hudgens was fired after the game Monday, the ice under everybody’s feet got a little thinner. From Sandy Alderson to Terry Collins to anybody on that 25 man roster, they all have been put on notice. Firing Hudgens isn’t going to turn the Mets offensive woes around, but it’s a symbolic gesture that [...]
With each new season comes similar storylines for some of the Mets players. One of those players is Mets captain and superstar David Wright. On last night’s telecast, SNY’s Keith Hernandez made mention of a problem that has contributed to long stretches of issues for Wright. That problem is Wright’s tendency to make his swing [...]
Zack Wheeler isn’t having the best start to his season and some fans are panicking about his development at the big league level. The biggest problem has been Wheeler’s command. And that problem was on display last night against the Yankees. He walked six batters over the course of his start and it took him [...]
Last night, Jon Niese cruised through seven innings in a cold, windy and rainy game in Philadelphia. Niese picked up his second victory and dropped his ERA to 2.20. In his career against the Phillies, Niese is 7-6 in 16 starts with a 3.00 ERA. For a man who has been with the Mets for [...]
This is not anything new. Ruben Tejada is struggling. All Mets fans thought it would only be a matter of time before Stephen Drew was signed or a trade was made. Well Stephen Drew is still in a beach house in Florida and the only trade the Mets made was to ship Ike Davis off [...]
It’s been a very common issue with the Mets over the past number of seasons and this year is no different. The team has good starting pitching, along with a good lineup. But it’s the bullpen that continues to worry Mets fans all over. The year didn’t start off well, as Bobby Parnell went down [...]
Everybody knows. Travis d’Arnaud is off to a slow start. It has been discussed at length on the SNY broadcasts, usually every time d’Arnaud comes up to bat. Last night he was able to get into the hit column for the first time in 2014. He added another hit later on, making him 2 for [...]
Wilmer Flores is back with the Mets. Flores was called back up after Daniel Murphy was placed on maternity leave. That will leave Murphy away from the team for the next couple of days. While he is gone, it seems that either Flores or Eric Young Jr. will take his place. After struggling on Monday, [...]
Don’t worry Mets fans, the Mets will be making additions to their roster. And these moves will be soon. By mid-May, it seems very likely that a young pitcher will be gone and a new shortstop will be arriving. Now this trade could have been done two months ago or Stephen Drew could have been [...]
