Getting out of Milwaukee did not prove to be the magic pill the Mets needed, as they traveled to Phoenix and saw another late-inning meltdown in a 7-3 loss Monday night. Arizona tallied six runs in the eighth inning, with most of that damage coming against Hansel Robles, who first entered the game in the [...]
Written by David Groveman. With 2016’s surprise star pitcher, Thomas Szapucki, sidelined with an injury, the Mets have thoroughly enjoyed the early successes of (20 year old) Jordan Humphreys. At 6-0 with a 1.63 ERA, a 0.70 WHIP, only 6 walks and a phenomenal 49 strikeouts he’s defied even the most optimistic of predictions for [...]
Gary Cohen said it best: "Just a horrifying loss for the New York Mets." If Terry Collins were ever tempted to resign, today would be the day to do it. On a day when Michael Conforto came within a single of hitting for the cycle, on a day when a Mets starter -- Jacob deGrom [...]

Tonight, Matt Harvey made his much-anticipated return to the mound tonight. After nearly a week full of drama and full on media exposure, he was ready to focus on just pitching. For five innings, his performance on the mound wasn't the worst. He struck out six and allowed a Montero-esque five walks. And then in [...]
It’s 2017, the year that will make a decade of suffering and terrible baseball a fair trade. The only catch is nobody told fate and instead the New York Mets are injury-ravaged and playing scrappy baseball to stay alive. Eventually some health will return and the breaks will fall more in their favor, but it’s [...]
The ship is taking on water and we need our captain more than ever. Injuries are sapping momentum. Young players are behaving badly. Veterans are fighting through slumps.
