The Mets put two runners on base in the bottom of the ninth inning but couldn’t get the big hit and fell to the Reds, 3-2, Saturday night at Citi Field. It was the 34th one-run win of the year for the Reds, while the Mets have a 22-25 record in that split. It was [...]
Grant Hartwig broke open a tie game by serving up a meatball that was hit for a homer, giving the Reds a 5-3 win Friday night in the opener of a three game series. David Peterson got the start and had some really good stuff. But he was betrayed some by his defense. He ended [...]
Kodai Senga was electric, piling up 10 Ks thru the first five innings, leading the Mets to an 11-1 win over the Diamondbacks Thursday afternoon at Citi Field. The Mets took three of the four games in the series and could have won the other game if their pen didn’t stink. Both starters benefitted from [...]
Joey Lucchesi pitched into the eighth inning and backed by a 3-RBI night from Pete Alonso, he led the Mets to a 7-1 win over the Diamondback Wednesday night at Citi Field. The Mets go for the series victory in a late afternoon game on Thursday. A lot of us wanted Lucchesi to be given [...]
Ronny Mauricio’s first MLB homer helped lead Jose Butto to his first MLB win, as the Mets used the long ball to down the Diamondbacks, 7-4, Tuesday night at Citi Field. Mauricio hit a monster home run, deep into the Coca Cola corner, a two-run blast that made it 3-1 Mets in the fourth inning. [...]
On the 22nd year anniversary of the 9-11 tragedy here in New York, the Mets looked to get today's victory for the city. Pitching wise, the game had a familiar feel.

After being handcuffed by Pablo Lopez for eight innings, the Mets broke thru for two runs in the ninth versus the Twins’ pen, leading to a 2-0 win Sunday afternoon in Minnesota.

Which one is worse – listening to Steve Gelbs do play by play or watching the Mets’ bullpen? Neither one is a treat. While it’s difficult to put a measurement on Gelbs, the pen allowed 5 ER in 2 IP to turn a close game into a laugher, as the Twins emerged with an 8-4 [...]
It was an even game until the bullpen got involved. But Sean Reid-Foley and Grant Hartwig combined to give up three runs in the seventh inning and the end result was a 5-2 loss to the Twins in the opener of a three-game set in Minnesota Friday night. Kodai Senga started for the Mets and [...]
It’s tough to manage a bullpen. It’s even tougher when your bullpen, you know, stinks. It seems like one way to combat that would be to avoid going to your pen if humanly possible. However, that’s not the way that Buck Showalter manages. Jose Butto was really good thru six innings but ran into some [...]
Francisco Alvarez hit a 3-run homer in the first inning, one of five homers on the night, to back strong pitching from Jose Quintana to lead the Mets to an 11-5 win over the Nationals in a game that wasn’t that close. The Mets have now won four of their last five games and hold [...]
