This was a tale of three stories. First, it was Noah Syndergaard in cruise control, efficiently shutting down the Twins for seven innings. Then it was the Mets capitalizing on some terrible pitching to score six runs in the fifth inning courtesy of six walks and a hit batter by Twins pitchers. Lastly, it was [...]
You could kind of tell, y'know? When he went 3-2 on the leadoff hitter, you might have gotten an idea. A delayed start on a chilly night, coming off an historically good performance, with an extra day of rest... A number of factors conspired to have Jacob deGrom deliver a sub-par outing against the Minnesota [...]
This one was a rough game for the Mets. Despite a late push by the bats, the Nationals easily walked away with the rubber game of a three-game set to tie the season series at three games apiece. They quite literally “walked” away with this one today as Mets pitchers walked 12. Zack Wheeler doled [...]
In a battle of lousy bullpens, the saving grace was Edwin Diaz, who came on to close the deal in the ninth, as the Mets emerged with a 6-5 win over the Nationals Saturday afternoon at Citi Field. Steven Matz pitched five shutout innings but a high pitch count – thanks to 4 BB and [...]
The Mets home opener didn’t quite go as planned, as the offense never got untracked and the Nationals added some runs late to break open a close game and earn a 4-0 win Thursday afternoon. Much was made about the Mets having to play their home opener as a day game following a road night [...]
The Mets went for their first sweep of the 2019 season full of confidence, and why not? They were sending Jacob deGrom out to take on Trevor Richards and the Marlins in Miami. One might say they were successful. The Mets broke out early on Richards, when Keon Broxton shot a base hit into right [...]
The Mets came into the matchup with Jason Vargas taking the hill for the first time this season. Some fans noted that Vargas could have been skipped, as Jacob deGrom could have pitched on five days rest. The game started off with the Mets spreading hits around the field as they scored five runs in [...]
On April Fools' Day, the Mets and Miami Marlins treated us to some foolish baseball. Miscues and misplays -- with a generous dash of fine pitching, to be fair -- were the story of this game. Caleb Smith struck out the New Yorks pretty easily in the top of the first, expending a scant 15 [...]
The Mets came into the day hoping for an opening series sweep of the Nationals, but eventually fell to the divisional rival on a Trea Turner walk-off home run in the 9th inning. It was his second homer in a 3 Run 4 RBI effort for the young shortstop, who also added a stolen base [...]
In a match up between hard-throwing number two starters Noah Syndergaard and Stephen Strasburg, it was the bullpens that determined the outcome of this game. The Mets relievers were mostly up to the task, but the Nats' couldn't get anyone out as the Mets tallied seven runs in the last two innings to turn a [...]
Jacob deGrom tossed six shutout innings, Robinson Cano delivered two RBIs, including a solo homer, and the back of the Mets’ bullpen slammed the door shut to lead the Mets to a 2-0 win over the Nationals on Opening Day in Washington. It was billed as a pitching duel between the top two hurlers in [...]
The playoffs are filled with teams that, for the most part, deserve to be there. Now that we are at the League Championship round, there are players that are amongst the elite in the league. The Dodgers, Brewers, Red Sox, and Astros all have players that are talented, but possess a quality that can only [...]
