Tonight's game was all about the debut of Steven Matz. We knew he could pitch, but he can also help his own cause at the plate. He went 3-3 with 4 RBIs. It is funny how the offense struggles to score more than two runs, yet a pitcher in his first game drives in four [...]
It took two days to finish, but the Mets and Reds finally finished the game, as the Mets would go on to win 2-1 in 13 innings thanks to a couple of errors by the Reds infield. Curtis Granderson hit his 250th home run to start the game as his offensive hot streak continues. Juan [...]
Noah Syndergaard pitched a gem against the Cincinnati Reds, pitching eight innings, allowing one run, and striking out five. He was efficient with his pitches, and was still firing fastballs in the zone at 98 MPH in the eighth. Dilson Herrera showed flashes of brilliance tonight, as he tripled against Johnny Cueto and made a [...]
Remember earlier this season when fans were wondering who the Mets closer would be as the season progressed? The team started the season with Jenrry Mejia as the closer, Jeurys Familia as the setup man, and Bobby Parnell was bound to come off the disabled list. However, Major League Baseball suspended Mejia for testing positive for [...]
Tonight we saw former Met and Cy Young recipient R.A. Dickey take the mound against Bartolo Colon. Ever since Dickey was traded, he has not been able to duplicate his 2012 award-winning campaign. It was nice (and sometimes painful) to see Dickey pitch against the Mets, however it was unfortunate that the Mets could not muster [...]
The Mets offense struggled to get anything going tonight, as they managed five hits in tonight's 8-0 loss against the Blue Jays. Jon Niese had a quality start tonight, as he went seven innings, let up three runs, struck out six hitters, but walked four hitters. Akeel Morris came in for relief and struggled mightily [...]
What a game! Tonight's game presented us with a great storyline, and a great showing from the Mets. Noah Syndergaard, a former top Blue Jays prospect, goes against his former team that has won 11 games in a row. The Mets would walk-off tonight in the bottom of the 11th thanks to a Wilmer Flores [...]
The New York Mets have had many concerns throughout the 2015 season, starting with injuries to key players, an inexperienced shortstop, and a struggling offense. The starting rotation has overcome Zack Wheeler’s injury nicely, and the bullpen has not been bad, although they struggled yesterday when Jeurys Familia was unavailable. Wilmer Flores has been solid [...]
Once again Bartolo Colon took care of business, as he went six innings and only allowed two runs. The Mets ended up beating their division rivals 5-3. The Mets offense had a good showing against Alex Wood, as they scored five runs, and took advantage of an errant pickoff throw from Wood. Wilmer Flores started [...]
Wow, what a night it was for Giants rookie Chris Heston. The young righty had two hits and drove in two runs as he dominated the Mets offense the entire night, and held them to zero hits. San Francisco took the first game of the series 5-0. Noah Syndergaard struggled tonight, going six innings, allowing [...]
The Mets are in contention for a playoff spot this year, and are searching for ways to improve the current roster. On Friday, it was announced that Daniel Murphy would be going on the 15-day disabled list with strained quadriceps, an injury that will hurt this ball club quite a bit. Also, Terry Collins announced [...]
James Shields held the Mets in check, as the Padres won the game 7-3. The Mets offense struggled to put anything together all night, except for in the ninth inning, when the tying run came to the plate with the bases loaded. Lucas Duda had a chance to tie the game with a home run, [...]
