The Mets give the fan base a Mother's Day present by starting Matt Harvey in today's 1:10 PM game. [chat id="66" ]
Juan Lagares made an outstanding catch a few nights ago, saving at least an extra-base hit and perhaps a home run in a game that the Mets went on to win. He deserves all the credit in the world for making that play. However, that one play does not mean that every single thing he [...]
Mets hope Niese can get back on track for Banner Day. First pitch slated for 1:10 PM. [chat id="67" ]
One look at the Rays’ farm system and it’s enough to make anyone jealous: Wil Myers – Ranked 4th Overall Taylor Guerreri – Ranked 41st Overall Jake Odorizzi – Ranked 42nd Overall Chris Archer – Ranked 43rd Overall Hak Ju Lee – Ranked 53rd Overall Not to mention: Enny Romero, Blake Snell, Mike Montgomery, Mikie [...]
You know, I had a thought the other day about the Mets’ lineup. When you look up and down the order and go across the diamond, what Met players are solid no-brainer starters for almost each and every day? With the way Ike Davis is struggling, he is now teetering on the edge of becoming [...]
Gee pitched five shutout innings yesterday and hopefully Marcum will do him one more tonight, starting at 7:10. MetsBlog says that Jeurys Familia is unavailable tonight, so hopefully Marcum doesn't have an early exit. [chat id="65" ]
Yeah, yeah, yeah; another story about how amazing Matt Harvey is. Harvey is the best pitcher the Mets and their fans have seen on the hill in quite some time and things just keep getting better. The right-hander retired 27 of 28 hitters across nine shutout innings in his last start and looked pretty awesome [...]
While Ike Davis grabs all of the attention for duplicating his rough start from a season ago, almost no attention is being given to David Wright once again getting off to a terrific start. Unlike last year at this time, the Mets are under .500 and all of the buzz centers around Matt Harvey and [...]
Mets begin a series with the Pirates where they will see a bunch of LHP, including tonight. No Ike Davis in the lineup for the 7:10 PM start. [chat id="64" ]
Earlier, my friend Dan Stack made some great points regarding the promotion of pitching phenom Zack Wheeler sooner, rather than later. Your intrepid columnist can’t help but agree. Of course there’s no guarantee that Wheeler will match the near-perfect Matt Harvey in either technique or temperament – the way Harvey’s been dealing, it’s barely possible [...]
You almost have to feel bad for the Mets’ pitchers who have to follow Matt Harvey these days. With the legend of Harvey nearly growing to ‘perfect’ proportions, the rest of the staff (sans Jonathon Niese) have to be suffering from an inferiority complex. So far on the season, Shaun Marcum, Dillon Gee and Jeremy [...]
Mets look for a sweep of the two-game series with the White Sox. First pitch slated for 7:10 PM. [chat id="63" ]
