At the risk of sounding facile and trite, the New York Mets have been…well…amazin’ so far this season. In a season that’s 74 days old as this is written, they’ve been in first place 49 of them. Anyone who thought that would happen before the season started, raise your hand and be called a liar. [...]
There has been a change in the outfield of the New York Mets recently. His name is Darrell Ceciliani. When he was called up in May, many fans either had forgotten about him entirely or never even heard of him. That has since changed. He was supposed to simply take on the role of lefty [...]
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 [...]
Within the last week, the Mets took Dillon Gee out of the rotation and put him in the bullpen, then put him back in the rotation, and then designated Gee for assignment. The team also reactivated Dilson Hererra from the Disabled List, and has had more dramatic, comeback wins than anybody in recent memory. All [...]
The Mets are a team that have been notoriously known for being pitching-oriented, ever since its creation, The offense has been a subject of criticism at times, while other times it has been an unstoppable force. A big reason for this unpredictable nature is because the Mets have been largely inconsistent in producing homegrown offensive [...]
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 [...]
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 Mets came into 2015 with an offense that likely didn’t have any superstars but which compensated by not having any sinkholes. It was a reasonable plan, at least until David Wright, Travis d’Arnaud and Daniel Murphy all hit the DL. Then the Mets had an offense with no superstars and three sinkholes. But d’Arnaud [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Since the end of World War II, there have only been 39 second basemen to come up and get 100 PA in the majors by their age 21 season. Of those, there are only nine players to amass an OPS+ of 100 or more in this time span. Eight of them have played at least [...]
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 [...]
