For the fifth time this season, the Mets played a rubber game. And for the fifth time, the Mets came out on the short end of the stick, this one by a 7-6 margin Thursday afternoon in Washington against the Nationals. It was the second time this year that the Mets dropped a series-deciding game [...]
Most Mets fans are upset after their starting pitcher did not give the team a chance to win last night. Five runs in the first three frames will make any team frustrated, and newcomer Wilmer Font making his second spot start certainly deserves the criticism. He was so ineffective that a team fresh off a [...]
Tonight’s game felt ominous from the start and then before you knew, it was over. Wilmer Font took the mound for the Mets for the second time since being acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays and was unable to make it through the third inning. On the night he gave up five runs as he [...]
A quarter of the way through the 2019 season and the Mets as a team are not very good in any one particular area. Coming into the season the thought was that their starting pitching was going to carry the team, the back of their bullpen was to be a formidable force, and that added [...]

The starting pitching is starting to come around for the Mets after a rocky stretch, but we’re going to look at the offense provided by the staff, as the Mets are getting more than the usual punch from the nine spot in the batting order this year. Three of the Mets starting staff are having [...]

Recently, the Mets have had more hitting success on the road than they've had in Citi Field. But early results in 2019 paint a different picture. So far this year, the Mets have a .777 OPS, led by a .428 SLG mark, in their home park. On the road, they drop to a .699 OPS, [...]
Last year Noah Syndergaard was 13-4 with a 3.03 ERA but it seemed like there was more complaining about his year than celebration over his numbers. Depending upon who you were talking to, he gave up too many steals, or too many hits, or he took too many pitches to put guys away, or he [...]
