The Mets scored four runs in the first inning but the Nationals tied it up by the fifth. The Mets’ bullpen was brilliant, pitching 4.2 hitless innings and the offense sprung back to life in the ninth, plating six runs en route to a 13-6-win Sunday afternoon in Washington D.C. The Mets banged out 16 [...]
The first game went from a laugher to a disaster before a big sigh of relief. In the middle was some bad news and the nightcap was a seesaw affair that ended with the tying run on second base. The end result was a split of the doubleheader with the Nationals Saturday in Washington D.C. [...]
After losing a two-run lead in the ninth inning, the Mets came back with a four-spot in the 10th, highlighted by a two-run double by Kevin Pillar, to down the Nats, 6-2, Friday night in Washington. Pete Alonso poked an RBI single leading off the 10th inning to put the Mets ahead. Javier Baez followed [...]
After the Mets rallied with five runs in the bottom of the ninth inning for a 6-5 win in the opener, they jumped on top in the fourth inning and held on for a 3-1 win in the nightcap, giving them an emotional sweep of the two games against the Marlins in Citi Field on [...]
No, the site is not down. Just a weekend away in the mountains with crappy internet. Anyway, here's what happened: Friday - Nationals 2, Mets 1 - Another one-run loss that extended their rotten play to 2-12 in their last 14 games. Saturday - Mets 5, Nationals 3 - Kevin Pillar hits two homers and [...]
The Mets entered this two-week stretch against the Dodgers and Giants not exactly firing on all cylinders. And they lost seven one-run games. It’s hard to wrap your head around it. But they consistently fall behind, they can’t buy a hit with RISP and the manager makes sub-optimal decisions. It’s not a winning formula. Thursday [...]
One of the fundamental questions you have to ask yourself as an MLB manager is: How do I want to win the game? Tonight, Luis Rojas answered that question with: Bullpen. Reminiscent of the scene in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," when they had to pick which cup was the holy grail, the bad [...]
Some losses are tougher than others. The Giants were playing without Kris Bryant and Evan Longoria and were starting a pitcher with a 5.72 ERA. Meanwhile, the Mets were coming off a day off and were getting Francisco Lindor back in the lineup. So, what happened? An 8-0 loss. Tylor Megill clearly didn’t have it [...]
J.D. Davis had a hand in six of the Mets’ seven runs, as he drove in four and scored two, leading the Mets to a 7-2 win over the Dodgers Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles. The win allowed the Mets to avoid a sweep of the season series versus the Dodgers. For a change, the [...]
The Mets fell behind early and their comeback fell short, as they lost yet another one-run game to the Dodgers, this time by a 4-3 score. The pitching matchup was Max Scherzer versus Rich Hill so it didn’t seem likely that this would be the game that the Mets would break their losing streak to [...]
The Mets’ rally in the eighth inning was short circuited by a key blown strike call – bring on the robot umps – and they fell to the Dodgers, 3-2, Friday night in Los Angeles. With runners on second and third, Jeff McNeil took a pitch that should have put him on first base. Instead, [...]
The Dodgers used seven different pitchers and the Mets scored one run.
