Following four dismal starts after the All-Star break, Jon Niese has given us exactly what we've come to expect over the past five years.
The Mets made a four year, $60 million commitment to Curtis Granderson last winter. It was a signing that was agreed by most to be the right thing to do as the Mets were in desperate need for outfield help. With nine games left in the season, Granderson has posted the worst OPS of his [...]
There are conflicting reports as to the severity of the injury to Juan Lagares. There’s not a ton to be gained by having him rush back this year as earlier Sandy Alderson made it clear that Terry Collins is not going to be judged on what happens the last dozen games of the season. The [...]
The New York Mets have been trying to fill a gaping void at their shortstop position ever since the departure of Jose Reyes. While Ruben Tejada was once thought to be the second coming, he's proven to be more like Rey Ordonez at the plate than Jose Reyes. The team thought their prayers had been [...]
Ever since Doc Gooden debuted, there have been very few Mets rookies that have stood out. This year, however, a new player has burst on to the scene and that man is Jacob deGrom. After a 13-strikeout performance, one would think that Jacob deGrom is a shoe-in for the National League Rookie of the Year, [...]
With the Mets mathematically eliminated from the National League East and the dream of winning the second Wild Card out of reach, the ball club will have to wait until at least 2015 to compete in the Post Season for the first time since 2006. That being said, the Mets should not just give up [...]
"I don't frankly think the last 12 games have a lot to do with evaluating Terry," Alderson said before his team's 151st game of the season. "I think we've played well to this point and through the first half of September, even the latter part of August. I think the team has responded pretty well." [...]
2014 has been a disappointment. For roughly the past two years, 2014 was the year many fans thought would be the one that turned things around. We had prospects coming up, and money coming off the books. It was the perfect recipe. Then Matt Harvey got hurt, the wallet didn't open up as much as [...]
If the Mets relievers developed a gallows humor in regards to their usage patterns this year, you could hardly blame them. It’s easy to imagine Jeurys Familia whispering to Carlos Torres that the beatings would continue until morale improved. We went from every day Scott Rice to every day Torres and in late July-early August, [...]
Everyone knows how the Nationals have treated the Mets as their private punching bag this year. Here’s how they’ve done against Mets pitching: Carlos Torres – 8 G, 6.00 ERA Jeurys Familia – 7 G, 5.68 ERA Bartolo Colon – 4 G, 4.13 ERA Zack Wheeler – 4 G, 5.96 ERA Dillon Gee – 3 [...]
It’s true. Daniel Murphy just might be the most untradeable person on the Mets. For reasons that make absolutely no sense. Nobody but the Mets sees him as a long term answer at 2B. Many have argued (Joel Sherman of the New York post comes to mind) that he should be pushed as a super [...]
If you were unfortunate enough to open up the pages of the Daily News this morning, you were subsequently subjected to one of the more ridiculous narratives to come out of the publication in years. That’s saying something considering in the last calendar year their sports writers have called for Rex Ryan’s job for visiting [...]
