Wow - Josh Satin is playing third base and batting second today. Of course it took an injury to Justin Turner to get Satin a spot start but still, it's nice to see him get playing time other than at 1B and very nice to see him bat higher in the order. Game time is [...]
The Mets have been playing better recently, and appear to be sneaking up on the Phillies and the Nationals in the standings. They are heading in the right direction, but there are still moves that Sandy Alderson needs to make -- one of which regards the outfield. Alderson is likely to pursue an outfielder, and [...]
Yes, it seems as though “Happy Days are Here Again” for us New York Mets fans. Because the sun has again begun peeking through our dark clouds of misery, its time to relax a bit and take a look back, with nostalgic fondness, at some of our most unhappiest players. Without further ado: 1. Vince [...]
Jenrry Mejia's performance yesterday puts pressure on the other pitchers to step up their game in order to keep their spot in the rotation. Gee gets the first chance in today's 3:05 game. [chat id="138" ]
Earlier today, David Groveman wrote a piece on Dominic Smith and the typical progression of players through the minors. The purpose was to advise caution and not expect Smith to come up and be a contributor anytime soon. It’s always a good idea to advise caution with prospects. However, I believe that guys who make [...]
On a forum someone made the suggestion that the Mets' first-round pick in 2013, Dominic Smith, would speed through the farm system and could be starting for the team in 2015. This is, in short, not going to happen… sorry. Yet, it does give us a reason to look at the typical progression through the [...]
Matt Harvey heads to the mound in the nightcap of a doubleheader against the Nationals, one year to the day after he made his electrifying ML debut. [chat id="137" ]
This time on the Mets Memorabilia review, let's take a look at the 2013 All-Star Game program from the 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field. Now this magazine is a far cry from the 1964 one from Shea Stadium, in which the program was probably roughly 60 pages, and sported an illustrated cover of [...]
Jenrry Mejia makes his first major league appearance in over three years as the Mets get set to play two against the Washington Nationals in our nation's capital. [chat id="136" ]
John Buck got off to a fantastic start in 2013 and to the surprise of no one, manager Terry Collins started to write his name in the lineup as close to every day as possible. It made sense in April, because there was no reason not to ride the hot streak, plus the team was [...]
Sometimes it’s tough to tell what the outlier is. Jeremy Hefner is coming off a recent eight-start run that raised a few eyebrows. From June 4 through the All-Star break, his stretch comprised 51 IP and a scant 10 ER – good for an ERA of 1.77. That’s an “ace”- type number. For comparison’s sake, [...]
Mets try to earn a split of the four-game series with the Braves and Wheeler tries to duplicate his success versus Atlanta from his MLB debut, when he pitched six scoreless innings. Game time is 12:10 PM. [chat id="135" ]
