For nearly two months now, Wilmer Flores has been one of the best hitters on the team. Since coming off the DL in late May and getting regular playing time, Flores has posted a .293/.346/.537 line in 136 PA. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it. No one [...]
The Mets' eight-game winning streak against the Cubs came to an end Monday night, as Chicago defeated New York, 5-1. In a familiar refrain, the Mets had their chances but couldn't come up with the big hit. Four different innings they had two runners on base but they could not cash in on any of [...]
You may not know the name Thomas Szapucki just yet but (the player MLB.com ranked as the Met’s 17th best prospect) will likely be moving even higher in the rankings if he can continue his early success.

The Mets came out of the gate on a high note, beating the Phillies 5-3 behind good pitching and a 3-run home run from Neil Walker. Bartolo Colon was perfect through four, setting down the first 12 batters he faced. He came undone a bit in the 6th inning, following an error by first baseman [...]
Over the remaining few weeks of July leading up to the trade deadline, the Mets have some big questions to answer. 1- What do we do when Lucas Duda comes back? James Loney has been solid and he can platoon with Wilmer Flores who's really come on strong of late. Do we plug Duda back [...]
