No matter how good your starting pitching is, you need more than one good reliever. The Mets have Seth Lugo and a whole bunch of question marks. Justin Wilson has a nice ERA but both his WHIP (1.456) and FIP (4.63) are less than good and he's allowed 50% of inherited runners to score, which [...]
The Nationals averted a sweep with a 7-4 win over the Mets Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. Washington jumped on top early, thanks to three unearned runs in the first inning off Jacob deGrom. Two soft singles and a walk loaded the bases. deGrom got a ground ball to the right side that should have [...]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that the Mets have gone 15-1 in their last 16 games. And their strong play started before that, with their nearly unbeatable stretch only interrupted by three extra-inning losses in San Francisco when the Giants were playing their best ball of the season. Everyone is looking [...]
The Mets scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to earn another come-from-behind win over the Nationals, as they emerged with a 4-3 victory Saturday night at Citi Field. The win clinched the series for the Mets and they go for the sweep Sunday afternoon. It was the eighth-straight win for the [...]

With the Mets now contenders for the playoffs, and excitement growing with them being built up around the league, it is now time to take the team seriously. When you take a team seriously, you must look at the flaws in order to be able to defeat it. The starting rotation has been nearly untouchable [...]
Todd Frazier hit a three-run homer to tie it and Michael Conforto had the game-winning hit with two outs to send the Mets to an improbable 7-6 come-from-behind win over the Nationals Friday night. It was the Mets’ seventh-straight win and 14th victory in their last 15 games. It was the first time all season [...]

Against all odds and reason, the Mets are now within spitting distance of the second wild card with a real chance to fight for the playoffs. These are the same Mets who were left for dead at the All-Star break a month ago, after a brutal month of June all but sunk their season. But [...]
One of my complaints about the Mets of recent vintage is that they prefer to give a shot to someone outside the organization rather than to promote from within. Now, it's one thing if the guy from outside was Mike Trout. But it's never Trout. It's always someone who was good three years ago. Why [...]
If you watched Tuesday night’s game against the Marlins you saw something the Mets had not done in ages. No Zack Wheeler did not pitch a No-Hitter, but he did have a good outing in which he scattered eight hits and a walk perfectly across eight innings; allowing two to reach base in only one [...]
