The Mets are bad. Really bad. After an impressive 15-5 start, the Mets have gone 10-16 and have largely failed to play professional baseball with any kind of aplomb. The pitching has scuffled (even Harvey has taken a turn for the worst), the defense is not great, and the offense is just putrid. The sad [...]
Through the first quarter of the season, there have been surprises and disappointments across the league. From the .406 hitter in Gordon and the one walk from Colon to the .143 batting average from Chase Utley and 5.76 ERA from R.A. Dickey, this season has proved to be interesting thus far. However the biggest surprise [...]
The Mets are an organization known for their consistent failure, starting with the early 60s, again in the late 70s and early 80s, and most recently in the early 2010s. Yet another thing that the Mets are also known for is the loyalty of their fans: they will stick through pretty much anything, evidently. That [...]
The New York Mets have typically based their winning teams off of the sole component of starting pitching. From the glory days of 1969 and 1973, to the dominant years of the mid 1980’s, heck, even the 1999-2000 and 2006 Mets had top-five team ERA’s. This tradition has carried over into 2015 with a 16-10 [...]
With the Mets current record running at an impressive 15-5, not many things have gone wrong- except the injuries, of course. This start even more impressive considering the team received more criticism for the questions surrounding the team than praise for the talent that lies on the roster. One major question that was consistently dogging [...]
Wow! What a way to start a season in which all pressure was applied. With an impeccable 10-3 record sugar-coated by an active 8-game winning streak, the Mets have gotten great pitching from four out of five starters, timely offense, and a solid bullpen-until the last two games. However, as Mets fans we should know [...]
Heading into 2015 the Mets are full of expectations: growth in the pitching staff, the development of a core offense, and maybe even a playoff berth. There have been interesting developments through the first seven games including the fact that the Mets are only scoring runs when an error occurs, Jon Niese delivered his “first [...]
This game never ceases to amaze fans. Arguably the best team in baseball sent their ace to the mound against a team that is projected to win 81 games, while they sent their 5th starter to the hill. In the end the latter won, which improved their opening day record to 35-19. After watching one [...]
For the first time in what seems like an eternity, the Mets are heading into the upcoming season with legitimate and justifiable confidence. The only caveat? Two pitchers that the Mets were counting on have gone down with the infamous Tommy John Surgery condition. Zack Wheeler's injury has already been deemed inevitable opening up the [...]
After the news broke of Zack Wheeler’s injury some people panicked and said that this was another Generation K, while others looked at it as a way to test the depth. In any case, the Mets should still be able to absorb the loss and attempt to compete 2015. But from this loss, what have [...]
Defense is consistently overlooked when assessing how good a ball club is, especially when the team is known for their offense. Cinderella teams over the past few seasons have all had above-average defensive players contributing in the field. Including the 2014 Royals, 2013 Pirates, 2012 Athletics, and most notably the 2011 Rays. None of these [...]
“The Mets had a chance to win the World Series last year. Last year is over. I think we are the team to beat in the NL East, finally. But, that's only on paper." That infamous (or famous depending on whom you are a fan) quote precipitated the steep decline of the New York Mets [...]
