First things first. I have not seen this as a rumor and am just pulling it out of the air. Neither the Mets nor the Braves can be happy with their big free agent signings this past offseason. The Mets gave Michael Cuddyer a two year deal for a total of $21 million and in [...]
Noah Syndergaard absolutely dominated one of the best hitting teams in the National League, leading the Mets to a 4-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Syndergaard established a team-high with 13 strikeouts. He gave up a run in the first inning and then cruised through the next six frames. In a bit of a surprise [...]
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much Till you spend half your life just covering up So, Steven Matz is hurt – of course he is. Because while God hates Cleveland, she’s also sadistic when it comes to the Mets. Or maybe it’s not the Mets. Maybe it’s just the six-man [...]
Entering the final series before the All-Star break, the Mets stand at 44-42, in second place and three games behind the Washington Nationals. They also sit three games behind the Chicago Cubs for the second wild card. A sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks at home would give the Mets momentum heading into the second half. [...]
The great pitcher and linguist Dizzy Dean told us a long time ago that he’d “rather be lucky than good.” It took a long time to figure out exactly what he meant. Then the 2015 Mets happened. Yes, these Mets. At first flush, you’d think they’ve anything but lucky and in more than a couple [...]
In just a matter of days, the “best” of the National League will be taking on the “best” of the American League in the Queen’s City to decide which league gets Home Field Advantage in the 2015 World Series. While the idea of the Major League Baseball All Star Game desperately needs to be reformatted, [...]
The New York Mets have had their fair share of offensive woes, but they have not lacked strong pitching performances. Four of the current six starters (deGrom 12,Colon 11, Harvey 11,Niese 10) have 10 or more quality starts (five innings or more). The other two, Matz and Syndegaard have not had enough starts to get [...]
The Mets take another series on the west-coast trip as they defeated the San Francisco Giants by a score of 4-1. Jacob deGrom showed why he is an all-star, as he pitched eight innings, struck out 10, allowed two hits and no runs. deGrom executed a hit and run that set the Mets up to [...]
The offense surely frustrated Mets fans once again, as the team would have plenty of scoring opportunities, yet struggled to capitalize. Bartolo Colon went six innings, let up three runs (two earned) and the Giants had 10 hits. Colon was lucky to get out of the sixth inning, and he ended up finishing with a [...]
(Disclaimer: This article was written before Monday’s game versus the Giants) I encourage you to reference the Fangraphs.com Team Stats-Batted Ball page. In those numbers, you will see why the Mets have been losing, and how they will get better. First, let’s start with why they are losing. The team is hitting a fly ball [...]
Michael Cuddyer is 2-for-36 in his last 12 games. If you’re 21 year old that gets you sent to the minors. If you’re 36 years old nothing happens more than the manager saying you’ve got to get going. Having a $21 million contract is good in more ways than one. For the season, Cuddyer has [...]
For the past two offseasons, Sandy Alderson has focused on improving the outfield any way possible. The 2013 season was not a great one for the Mets, and Alderson knew his prospects were on their way to being promoted, creating a need for the Mets to make moves during the offseason, and get more offensive [...]
