Recently, the Mets have been on the decline, a combination of shaky offense with less than stellar pitching. Because of this decline, the Mets have made a series of changes to the roster. This includes the demotion of Josh Satin, banishment to the bullpen for Jenrry Mejia, the arrival of Wilmer Flores, and Jacob deGrom’s [...]
Let's go back to Mid-March when the Mets’ front office, as well as fans, thought of the Mets potential bullpen as a strength rather than a weakness as it had been in past years. Opening Series came and went. Bobby Parnell went down, three losses, and eleven runs were allowed by the bullpen. The bullpen [...]
The Mets have long been known to have high standards for homegrown pitching, and recently there has been an influx of starters that have come up and made an impact. Matt Harvey was the first of the recent influx and has been extremely successful, Zack Wheeler came up next and is currently making progress to [...]
Only minutes before beginning a dreadful game against Atlanta, the Mets had announced that Ike Davis had been traded. The first base situation had been a reoccurring problem ever since Carlos Delgado departed in the beginning of the 2009 season. Davis seemed to be able to take over after a very solid 2010 season and [...]
Over the first week of the season, the Mets bullpen has gone from a complete disaster to an average staff. Many find this a problem, and rightfully so, after seeing the 2011-2013 lose countless games because of an inexperienced bullpen- particularly in 2012. This was supposedly solved with an influx of relievers to begin Spring [...]
As the 2014 season begins in the major leagues, it will soon begin in the minor leagues. The Mets will have numerous minor league teams attempting to defend their division title and the players will have to perform to their potential. There are an endless amount of minor leaguers that the Mets could take a [...]
Spring Training is the one time of year when it is socially acceptable to root against the Mets, for certain players to have an edge on jobs. At this point in the young season, most of the main questions have been answered- some not to the liking of the fans. The shortstop situation has resolved [...]
Since 2011, Sandy Alderson has received a ton of heat for his picks in the first round of the draft (excluding 2013). Many criticize his willingness to pick players that have high risk in high school. Some fail to realize that the draft is a huge risk in and of itself and just because a [...]
Spring Training is entertaining for many reasons: the media is always hyping up a team that is struggling or playing well, the competition level between teams is low, but inside a team is high; and there are always exciting players that have no shot at making the roster. On Monday, the Mets sent two sets [...]
Ah, spring training. The one time when losing is acceptable and the Mets have done a ton of it. Several hours after the loss to the Cardinals on Sunday I read a review of the game on a few websites, as I had not watched it, and there were a couple bright spots; Curtis Granderson [...]
The Red Sox had the “Curse of the Bambino”, the Cubs seem to have the “Curse of the Billy Goat” the Mets have the curse of the injury. It seems that every year, around the same time, the injury bug hits the entire team as the team we love falls out of contention. This year, [...]
With the Mets farm system trending upward every season there are many prospects with bright futures and some without a clear path to the majors. However, there is a path that every prospect must follow in 2014. Here is what seems to be the common suspects on the Mets top 10 prospect lists and where [...]
