Sometimes, we just can't have nice things. Matt Harvey pitched wonderfully for five-and-a-third innings, but had to leave with a tight hamstring after making a putout at first base with the Mets up 10-2. It remains to be seen if he will make his next start on Sunday in Miami. Sigh... Now, about the offense: [...]
Entering the 2017 season many in the Mets organization were hopeful Jose Reyes would have continued success and growth from last season. This season Reyes has one hit in six-plus games. It is not just his lack of production, but the way he is making outs which is disconcerting. He has been having difficulty making [...]
As the weather has started to warm in this young baseball season, so have the tempers of the players. In attempt of retaliation for a bat flip that happened last season, Edubray Ramos threw at the head of Asdrubal Cabrera. This resulted in a warning to both benches and the ejection of Phillies manager Pete [...]
Perhaps you’ve never heard of Jordan Humphreys. Frankly, there would be little reason to. The Mets drafted Humphreys in the 18th round of the 2015 draft. Just your average 6’2” righty who throws in the low 90s with a changeup and a curveball in the arsenal. You won’t question why you’ve never heard the name, [...]
Noah Syndergaard provided the lightning, Michael Conforto and Jay Bruce supplied the thunder as Sunday became Thor's day in front of a national audience and the Mets avenged the last two losses to Miami. On the big stage of ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball, Syndergaard solidified his stature as one of the premier pitchers in baseball. [...]
After five games, the Mets are 2-3 and we already have people fretting about the offense, even though the pitching has been dismal in two of the three setbacks. But if we looked at what we thought might be the trouble areas right before the first pitch of the season, we see that most of [...]
The Mets’ bats were as cold as the April night weather, as they dropped their second straight game to the Marlins, this one by an 8-1 score Saturday night in Citi Field. Add Adam Conley to the list of starters who have their way against the Mets. He’s now allowed just 4 ER in 29.1 [...]
A 12-inning game, an early exit for Zack Wheeler and a rare April stretch of 12 games without a day off had the Mets reaching for extra relief help. After Friday's game against the Marlins, the Mets added Paul Sewald to the roster. To make room for Sewald, they designated Ty Kelly for assignment. Sewald, [...]
