In a season that most Met fans would like to forget, there are a couple of aspects that need a little bit of a recap. Steven Matz has had a miserable year. He started out on the DL right out of spring training. He made a few rehab starts – one of which was marvelous: [...]
The Mets tonight got a “good enough” pitching performance from Chris Flexen, throwing 104 pitches and going six innings while giving up just two runs that unfortunately included 4 walks. However, he was able to control the Diamondbacks whenever he got into trouble and that’s the bottom line. In the opening inning, after Flexen walked [...]
The most interesting players are the ones where reasonable, intelligent people can disagree. Juan Lagares and Zack Wheeler certainly fall in this category. But perhaps the poster boy for this player right now is Wilmer Flores. My personal belief is that the top priority for the Mets’ GM this offseason is to make the correct [...]

This coming offseason has one big prize that multiple clubs would love to sign and his name is Mike Moustakas. The left-handed hitting third baseman is the #1 wish list item for all the many teams who are wondering who they can nab as the third baseman. The Mets are currently paying David Wright $20 [...]
Going into today, the New York Mets were 2-10 in Sunday home games this season. Giancarlo Stanton and his Miami Marlins ensured that record would not improve. The Mets suffered yet another loss this Sunday, falling to the Marlins 6-4. Misplayed defense and squandered offensive opportunities led to the loss. On the mound, Jacob deGrom [...]
