The Mets finished the 2019 season with a sweep of the Braves, which got them to 86 wins on the year. It wasn’t good enough for the postseason but it’s right about where most people expected the team to be before the year started. As with any season, there were some highs and lows. Yet [...]

Ultimately they did not “win now” as Brodie Van Wagenen once decreed they would, unless your definition of winning is merely a season above [...]
Today could be the last start that Zack Wheeler makes for the Mets. If so, it's fitting that it will be against the Marlins, the team that he's done his best work against. Lifetime, Wheeler is 7-2 with a 1.77 ERA against Miami. In his last six games against the Marlins, Wheeler is 5-1 with [...]
In what is likely his last start of the year, Jacob deGrom pitched seven more shutout innings and his teammates had an offensive explosion, giving him a nine-run lead after three innings, en route to a 10-3 win over the Marlins Wednesday night. However, the Mets were eliminated from the postseason with the Brewers win. [...]
