The Mets seem to be notorious for trading away good talent for little in return, not trading for someone who could have made a difference, and keeping players who should be traded too long. While there are a number of players who fit into each one of these categories, I would like to focus on [...]
In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, there were three big factors in Major League Baseball: offensive production, big names hitting the free agent market every year, and the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox spending more money than imaginable to win championships. Nowadays, there are three new big factors in Major League Baseball: [...]
Ok, so things did not exactly go as planned for the Nationals under my reign as General Manager. My idea was to trade Jayson Werth, Danny Espinosa, and my entire bullpen and sign key free agents. My only problem: nobody wanted anyone I had offered. I did make a few trades, and was able to [...]
The Mets officially signed Terry Collins for another two years. Collins has been with the ball club since the beginning of the 2011 season, and has had a 402-422 record. There have been many ups and downs with the team, and he has seemed to be on the hot seat for at least one month [...]
After this morning’s 5-4 Kansas City Royals victory over the New York Mets, game two of the 2015 Major League Baseball World Series will begin tonight at 8:00pm E.T., and it has potential to be fantastic. The pitching matchup will feature Mets’ ace Jacob deGrom, and Royals’ “ace” Johnny Cueto. Since July 26, the day [...]
Steven Matz is one of the best young pitchers in the game, and a key part to the Mets core young pitching rotation. The only lefty on the staff, Matz was given the opportunity by Mets’ manager Terry Collins to pitch in game four of the National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, [...]
This postseason has been a wild ride so far, but for some teams more than others. Every team has something to prove this postseason. There are currently seven teams left in the 2015 playoffs, and none of them seem to be backing down. But out of these teams come four major story lines. The Mets, [...]
From Opening Day on, there was always a story surrounding the Mets: the surprising hot start, the 11-game winning streak, the worst offense in baseball, the Wilmer Flores almost trade, the Yoenis Cespedes trade, the best offense in baseball, the Matt Harvey innings limit, the list goes on and on! But through it all, the [...]
Nearly mid-way into the 2015 season, the New York Mets’ pitchers had a higher batting average than their bench. Think about that…the pitchers were better than the people who are paid to be some of the most clutch players on the roster! It seemed that fans would rather have Jacob deGrom pinch-hit with the bases loaded down by [...]
If there was a contest on who could catch the most fly balls in the stands of a baseball game, Zack Hample would far and away be the winner. Hample has caught a countless number of historical home runs, including Mike Trout’s first, Shea Stadium’s last, and Alex Rodriguez’s 3000th hit. This past weekend, I [...]
Matt Harvey is the ace of the New York Mets, no if ands or butts about it. Sure, he may not be the best pitcher on the Mets’ staff this season, but there is no rule saying a team cannot have two aces. Last night, Harvey pitched against the Washington Nationals, and went 5.1 innings [...]
