The New York Mets are in Colorado for series with the Rockies. They enjoyed an offensive explosion and a no-hitter bid from Matt Harvey against the Minnesota Twins, but the finale was postponed. Now, with a Rockies team that many perceive as young but potentially sub-par, the Mets have a chance to add to their [...]
This will also serve as the Chatter for Game 2 [chat id="50" ]
Every time I see or hear somebody freak out about how a player is doing early on in the season, I’m reminded of this song. The incredibly small sample size that we have available to us right now is not enough to tell us anything significant about players and the seasons that they will have. [...]
Full Name: Kevin Jeffrey Plawecki Born: 02/26/1991 Birthplace: Carmel, IN College: Purdue Height: 6' 2" Weight: 205 Bats: R Throws: R The weekly MVP could have been Josh Satin (who is tearing the PCL a new one), it could have been Rafael Montero (Who looks like he might be up ahead of Wheeler at [...]
Domingo Tapia: I like Tapia… partially because saying “Domingo” is pretty fun but also because he’s got some of the best “STUFF” in the system. If the man could get away with throwing only fastballs he’d be golden, but that isn’t the case with most players and it’s not likely the case with Tapia. Scouting: [...]
Mets go for the sweep in Minnesota today. Game time is 2:10 [chat id="19" ]
If there's one thing sports fans/writers/analysts/general observers like to do, it's to compare supremely talented up-and-comers to prior greats, labeling them "the next [so and so]." It happens in every sport. Kobe Bryant was the next Michael Jordan, until Lebron James was the next Jordan. For the Mets, the latest iteration of this trend involves [...]
Mets play their second interleague game of the year and hope to score as often as they did in their first one. First pitch slated for 4:10 PM. [chat id="15" ]
Sometimes players get a second chance to play for a team. Mostly this is a good thing. Mostly. Here is (what I believe to be a complete year-to-date) listing of players who have played on the major league squad of the New York Mets, then left the organization, only to return to play again for [...]
The Mets’ blogosphere blew up on Thursday after the Daily News’ Andy Martino reported that the Mets were very intrigued at the prospects of trading for the Marlins’ power-hitting dynamo Giancarlo Stanton. Why not, the Marlins have almost traded their entire roster in the last year; why not try to pry away the most coveted [...]
Weather permitting, the Mets play their first-ever game at Target Field at 8:10 PM Eastern tonight. Come chat about this new experience! [chat id="11" ]
Cory Mazzoni: When I look at Mazzoni’s minor league stats… nothing jumps out to me. He has average stuff and gets average results. I watched him this Spring and was left with a different impression. In short, Mazzoni has made it to #12 on my rankings based largely on scouting potential and a few innings [...]
