Hot town, summer in the City…or Citi, if you will. The temperatures in the New York-Metro area have ratcheted up significantly in the last week and a half. In typical NYC summer fashion, the mercury has reached the 90s, bringing with it shirt-drenching humidity. Par for the course in these parts, for sure, but for [...]
While many were fawning over the acquisition of Michael Cuddyer during the past offseason, someone wrote this: So, we’re left rooting for Cuddyer to ignore Father Time and remain productive, ignore Mother Nature and stay healthy, ignore the ghost of outfield Lucas Duda and be passable defensively all while not being swayed in moving from [...]
Every season, there are winners and losers of the July 31 Major League Baseball Trade Deadline. Some teams become buyers, and do what they can in order to acquire a big name bat to make a playoff push. Other teams become sellers, and give up their big name players in order to acquire top prospects [...]
What a frustrating game for the Mets, as they had the game in their favor until the eighth inning, and ended up losing the game 4-3. Today was a big game for Noah Syndergaard, as he had a chance to give the Mets a series victory against the Nationals, but struggled with his command, as [...]
It looked like it was going to be a low-scoring game until the top of the ninth inning as the Mets pulled away, and scored four runs. Although it took a while, it is always a good night when the Mets offense can put together a couple of runs in an inning Jacob deGrom continues [...]
Over 292 games during his minor league career, Kevin Plawecki has a .803 OPS with 26 home runs and 72 doubles. Detractors might point out that he played in Las Vegas, one of the most hitter-friendly parks in the Pacific Coast League. While he spent a total of 52 games in Vegas to end last [...]
With a chance to take over first place with a sweep, the Mets dropped the first game of the three-game set against the Nationals by a 7-2 score Monday night. Matt Harvey, pitching for the first time in nine days, allowed five runs in the first three innings before settling down to retire the last [...]
The weekend is over but the road trip continues. Just in case you missed it, forgivable with almost a week off for the All-Star break, the second half of the season kicked off with a wasted opportunity in St. Louis. The Mets dropped the first two games of a three-game set against the Major League-best [...]
The Mets salvaged the final game of the series against the Cardinals with a wacky 3-1 extra-innings win Sunday afternoon in a game that lasted nearly six hours and saw the Mets have 25 LOB, which tied a team record. One inning after being unable to cash with the bases loaded, the Mets again packed [...]
Across Major League Baseball, we have seen an influx of young talent come into the league. The Mets have showcased two impressive starters in Steven Matz and Noah Syndergaard, but have not had any major pieces added offensively. Dilson Herrera will have a promising future in the big leagues, but he only hit .195 in [...]
It’s no secret that the Mets need offense. One surprising area where the club has received an offensive contribution here lately is from Ruben Tejada. He’s reached base safely in 11 straight games and he has an .820 OPS in that span and has even hit a homer. Additionally, he’s the only one on the [...]
Well, Mets fans, we are again at a familiar All-Star break juncture. We've arrived at the crossroads of “the team has sort of been okay” and “will Sandy Alderson do anything to help the team at the deadline?” We've been here many times over the last half decade with this team. If we stick to [...]
