The winning streak continues, unlikely and possibly quite costly. In a game that was dominated by the two starting pitchers, the big action came in the last three innings and had nothing to do with either of them. John Means squared off against Marcus Stroman and for six-plus innings, there was nothing to choose between [...]
Edwin Diaz came on in the rain to get five outs and close out the win for Jacob deGrom, as the Mets won the game, 4-2, and swept the Diamondbacks Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. It was the fifth-straight win for the Mets, the longest streak this season. While deGrom gets a rare victory, he [...]
The Mets did a little bit of everything tonight and downed the Diamondbacks, 4-2, to earn their fourth straight win. Tommy Hunter, who pitched two innings last night, got the start as the opener and delivered two shutout innings, backed by a couple of nice defensive plays. He was replaced by Joey Lucchesi, who came [...]
Patrick Mazeika came up with the bases loaded and hit the ball about 20 feet. But it was far enough away from the pitcher to bring home Pete Alonso from third base with the winning run, giving the Mets a 5-4 win over the Diamondback Friday night at Citi Field. It looked like the Mets [...]
Taijuan Walker pitched a terrific game, retiring the last 18 batters he faced, and the Mets put so many runners on base that even they were able to score a few runs, which resulted in a 4-1 win for the Mets and a split of the four-game series in St. Louis. Walker allowed just one [...]
The Mets' big hitters – of course we’re talking about Tomas Nido, Kevin Pillar and Jonathan Villar – led the team to a 7-2 win in the nightcap of the doubleheader, giving the team a split of a twinbill with the Cardinals Wednesday in St. Louis. Apparently dying to prove how innovative he can be, [...]
After being MIA for most of the season, the Mets’ offense staked Joey Lucchesi to a 5-2 lead. But Lucchesi gave it right back and the Mets ended up on the short end of a 6-5 score to the Cardinals Monday night in St. Louis. The Mets scored two runs in the second inning, thanks [...]
In a game where both teams had Win Expectancy rates of 89% or greater in the late innings, the hero of the game was … Jeurys Familia! After Edwin Diaz tried his best to lose the game in the 9th inning, Familia came on with the tying run on second base and got the final [...]
Michael Conforto had three RBIs, including a home run to break a 4-4 tie, leading the Mets to a 5-4 win over the Phillies Saturday night in Philadelphia. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Mets. The Mets jumped on top early, with a HBP and then four consecutive hits, including back-to-back doubles [...]
The first five months of 2016 the Mets couldn’t hit with RISP and it was painful. In 2013, Terry Collins wrote the names John Buck, Ike Davis and Ruben Tejada into the lineup day after day after day when all three were hitting worse than pitchers. It was so bad – they were dubbed here [...]
The Red Sox came in to this brief two-game series with one of the best offenses in the game. So, the Mets hold them to a total of three runs and somehow end up getting swept. Wednesday night the Mets lost, 1-0, and stop me if you’ve heard this before but they wasted another big [...]
Red Sox pitchers fanned 13 without allowing a walk, leading Boston to a 2-1 win over the Mets Tuesday night at Citi Field. David Peterson gave a strong effort, a nice bounceback from his last outing, but it wasn’t enough, as he allowed 2 ER in 6 IP. The Mets got three scoreless innings from [...]
