As the Mets head into the final month of play, looking down at the Nationals by 6.5 games, the team has to start thinking strategically about which players will make the playoff roster. Obviously any Mets fan that lived through 2007-2008 will be wary of setting anything in stone, but at this point the only [...]
There’s a pennant chase in New York and it’s actually on both sides of the city. With a 4.5-game lead on the Washington Nationals, the Mets see themselves as a realistic postseason contender while the citizens and players have a forecast of doubt over their heads. Both teams have felt the injury bug hit them [...]
The Mets are quickly gaining credibility around the league even after four months of mediocrity at the dish. Much of the reason that the Mets have struggled at the plate in 2015 is the absence of the heart and soul of the Metropolitan offense: David Wright. His presence in the Mets dugout almost guarantees a [...]
The second half Mets baseball has been the craziest set of 17 games during the Citi Field era both for good and bad. It has been highlighted by two brutal losses in St. Louis (and a brutal win), the bullpen falling flat for the first time since April of 2014, and the rollercoaster ride that [...]
Who killed every Mets executive and took over baseball activities? Seriously, who? The Mets have made two moves that have actually improved this team. The last time that Sandy “the Maverick” Alderson acquired a mid-season piece was back in 2013 when Eric Young Jr. came to Queens in exchange for 2014 ace and 2015 let-down [...]
While the Mets have struggled to have their players cross home plate in the major leagues (and likely will for the rest of the season), Mets fans will likely do what they’ve been doing for the past 3-4 years - look at the progression of minor leaguers. Sandy Alderson has been criticized for not drafting [...]
In recent memory, there has not been a more thrilling or depressing first half of Mets baseball. If someone were to tell the average Mets fan that the team would go into the break at 47-42, they’d ask where to sign. But the road to get them there was certainly one of the strangest. With [...]
What do Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, and Steven Matz all have in common? Besides the fact that they are all on the Mets, none of them have actually been drafted by Sandy Alderson. Matz was drafted by Omar Minaya in one of the deepest left-handed starting pitching drafts ever (2009), Harvey [...]
From 15-5 to 24-21 to 36-30 and now to 36-35, the 2015 Mets are an absolute question mark when it comes to deciding whether or not this team is actually a major league team- never mind a playoff team. The past five games have been the most disappointing stretch all season and it’s hard not [...]
The Mets are a team that have been notoriously known for being pitching-oriented, ever since its creation, The offense has been a subject of criticism at times, while other times it has been an unstoppable force. A big reason for this unpredictable nature is because the Mets have been largely inconsistent in producing homegrown offensive [...]
The first two rounds of the MLB Draft was held yesterday on the MLB Network and it provided smiles for countless individuals. However, the Mets were absent from a pick due to their signing of Michael Cuddyer back in November. It remains to be seen whether or not this was a smart decision, but the [...]
In January, if any Mets fan was approached and told that the Mets would be tied with the Nationals for two months and one day, they’d ask where to sign. To say the least, the Mets have had an interesting ride to a 29-23 record. It has been propelled by an 11-game losing streak, countless [...]
