Many fans here at Mets360 and in the larger media sphere have blamed General Manager Sandy Alderson for being too slow in helping the Mets turn around as an organization. He hasn't brought guys up quick enough, he hasn't made a dynamite trade to impact the team, he hasn't, he hasn't, he hasn't. It's a [...]
Whew! If last night's loss left a bad taste in the mouth, the start to Sunday's game was like drinking acid. Dillon Gee got severely knocked around for 11 hits and eight runs over just 3.2 innings of "work". His value to both this team or any other has got to be at a career [...]
The scoreboard doesn't always tell the truth about a game. You could tell by Jacob deGrom's line that he had a great day, going seven strong innings of one-run baseball. He ended his day by striking out nine, walking one and only a first-inning Freddie Freeman home run to blemish an otherwise perfect afternoon. What the [...]
Lucas Duda doesn't need anymore pressure on him. After all, he's the sole remaining everyday-caliber player remaining on the Mets infield. Wilmer Flores is still on the cusp both offensively and defensively while everyone else are, well, backups. Meanwhile, Duda not only ripped the first base job from Ike Davis last year, but has entrenched [...]
Well this downright sucks. No matter how you slice it, the Mets are just not a major-league caliber team at the moment, and that stinks to say. Not only injuries, but sub-par performances from some veteran players, and too much being asked of rookies are dragging this team down. It's not one person individually at [...]
Well hello John Mayberry, Jr., where you been all my life! A huge night from the tall outfielder was just what the Mets needed on an Arizona evening. Daniel Murphy exited the game after just two innings newly ensconced at third, and the pain merry-go-round just keeps on truckin' for the ol' Metsies. Mayberry's three [...]
In Los Angeles, May is gray. It's rainy with few moments of bright sun shining through. So it was for the Mets across the continent, as the team went 13-15 and slipped into second-place in the National League East. But there is hope that things will turn around soon. Below are five such reasons. [...]
Jacob deGrom flirts briefly with a perfect game and finishes with eight shutout innings.
Ruben Tejada did his best to play the hero on Saturday, but had to settle for that honor on Sunday, as he drove in Juan Lagares from second base in the bottom of the seventh inning to put the Mets ahead for good, in what turned out to be a back and forth affair. The [...]
First off, there is no bigger supporter or optimist when it comes to David Wright than your’s truly. During our projection series, I said Wright would slug .480 with 90 RBI and wouldn't hit the DL for more than 15 days. I was a touch off. So the news that the team captain was diagnosed with [...]
Bartolo Colon pitched a quality start for the first time since May 5th and the Mets received home runs from Lucas Duda, Michael Cuddyer and Wilmer Flores to push past the lowly Phillies. I never get tired of saying "lowly Phillies". Cuddyer and Flores in particular needed to step up to Terry Collins' call-to-arms after [...]
Matt Harvey didn't have it today. He allowed seven runs, the most in any game of his career, and the Mets continue their slide due to up and down pitching, bad defense on the left side of the infield, and an offense that now ranks second only to the lowly Phillies for the lowest team [...]
