Surely you were aware the New York Mets were tied to trade rumors leading up to the waiver-trade deadline, with Bartolo Colon's name being front and center. With the Los Angeles Angels losing Garrett Richards for the foreseeable future, and them needing a quality, veteran arm, they needed another good arm for the stretch run. [...]
While his contact skills and batting average (.231) is nothing to write home about, there is no denying the fact that Eric Young Jr. is a bonafide spark plug at the top of the Mets' batting order. Maybe he doesn't get on base at the best of clips (.319 OBP) either, but Young Jr. does [...]
It was fun watching Bartolo Colon on Wednesday afternoon. And no, I'm not talking about him legging out a double and scoring from second base moments later when Eric Young Jr. knocked him in with his own double. Ok, maybe I am. After all, Colon is fun to watch run the bases. No, Wednesday was [...]
There has been talk festering throughout the Mets' blogosphere that the Mets should admit that they are going nowhere fast, swallow their pride and trade David Wright away for prospects while he still has some value. Wait, what? You mean trading the franchise and the effervescent face of the franchise? Well, before we dismiss it [...]
After Friday night's game in San Francisco, Mets' catcher Travis d'Arnaud is now sporting a pathetic .180/.271/.273 slash line. Yuck! Ever since being the centerpiece in the trade for R.A. Dickey with the Toronto Blue Jays, we have been led to believe that d'Arnaud was one of the better, if not the best, catching prospects [...]
Don't look now but it appears that Zack Wheeler is starting to nicely round into shape. After a rocky start with some fans and media losing confidence in him, Wheeler has quieted some of his critics of late. Although he only has two wins (2-5) on the year, Wheeler is putting up quality outing after [...]
Chris Young's overall numbers don't paint a rosy picture. His dropped flyball in the bottom of the 14th inning in Friday night's 6-5 loss to the Phillies will not endear him to Mets' faithful either. Life for Young has not been so great in his first year with the Mets. A meager .205/.290/.368 slash line [...]
While some in the Mets' circle (be it fans, media, what have you) begrudgingly did not like the fact that Jenrry Mejia was taken out of the rotation and put in to the bullpen, you really can not argue with the results. Ever since going to the bullpen on May 12 after going 3-0 with [...]
Not a lot has gone right for the Mets this season, but if there has been one constant bright spot, it has been the pitching of Jon Niese. To be fair, Dillon Gee would get props here as well, but he unfortunately had to go on the disabled list for a short stretch (and he [...]
After losing yet again last night, falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3, the Mets find themselves once again in last place. After a decent start to the season, they were 15-11 on April 29, the Mets have lost 14 of their last 19 games and are now five games under .500, while occupying the [...]
There is a #FreeLagares hashtag trending on Twitter and Facebook as I speak. With each mention of this hashtag, the intensity for the Mets to free outfielder Juan Lagares from the bench is becoming increasingly noticeable and palpable. Yet another day goes by and Lagares is still sitting, as he was on the bench again [...]
With the New York Mets calling up Wilmer Flores and toying with the idea of replacing Jenrry Mejia in the rotation, the team is certainly trying to mix things up and give the team an added boost. Will there be any other moves? Who's jobs are safe? One such player who has to start pulling [...]
