A huge, strange win for the Mets in a game in which a new superhero emerged. Robert Gsellman -- pronounced "Gazelle Man" -- leapt out of the pages and into Mets lore. The Mets broke out early when Jose Reyes kept turning back the clock. He led off the game with a five-pitch walk and [...]
When we last saw T.J. Rivera, he was getting seven hits in 13 at-bats. That’s not usually production that gets you sent down but he was called up as an injury replacement and when the walking wounded returned, he was sent back to Las Vegas. Now with Neil Walker out on paternity leave and Rivera [...]
If you scour the internet for information on Nabil Crismatt you will wind up disappointed. The Colombian player signed with the Mets in 2012 for an undisclosed amount and has worked his way up, spending two seasons in the DSL before he came state side for a campaign in 2014 with the GCL Mets and [...]
The Mets got a rare Sunday Night Baseball win, as they edged the Giants, 2-0, to split the four-game series. Noah Syndergaard looked in complete command, throwing his best game in ages. He threw eight shutout innings and looked ready to pitch the ninth, too. He had excellent command and was not plagued by countless [...]
The principal argument against the DH is that it removes Strategy and Tactics from the game… an argument for preserving “Tradition”. It’s a loose and lazy argument, in direct conflict with the evidence that today’s game is far, far removed from The Hazy Poetic Yarn spun by “Traditionalists”. The lead complaint against the DH is [...]
In the last nine games, the Mets’ offense has sprung to life. Sure, some of that is due to the level of competition, as the Diamondbacks and Padres are two of the worst teams in the league. But in three games against the Giants, who are a playoff team, the Mets have banged out 37 [...]
The Mets defeated the Giants this afternoon in San Francisco 9-5, snapping a three-game losing streak. Bartolo Colon started this one and provided the Mets with 6.1 solid innings. His final line was 9 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk (!), and 5 strikeouts (!!). It's always nice to see a good Bartolo start. The Mets [...]
The Mets lost to the Giants late last night in a drubbing that may very well have put this team and its fans on the cusp of packing it up for the season. The loss dropped them to 60-62 and 5.5 games back in the wild card, which will be challenging to make up. They're [...]
In a game that was there for either team to win, the Giants came away with an 8-1 win Friday night. The Mets welcomed back Asdrubal Cabrera and Yoenis Cespedes but may have lost Steven Matz, who did not start due to shoulder discomfort. Seth Lugo got the emergency start and pitched better than anyone [...]
