Before the season started, pretty much every Mets fan considered this team to be a 90-win or better squad. Flash forward to June 11 and the team enters the day at 27-33. So, yeah, it’s been a major disappointment. But the last four days have been an example of what everyone was expecting coming into [...]
Put it in the books..twice! The Mets swept the day-night double header in Atlanta, taking the night cap 8-1 behind the dazzling return of Steven Matz. In his 2017 debut, the young lefty tossed seven strong innings, allowing one run in his final inning of work. He only struck out two, but Matz limited the [...]
