If you had to ask for a tonic for three-straight-gut-punch losses, it would be difficult to come up with a better answer than Jacob deGrom in a day game against a team with a below-average offense.
Please use this thread for both games of the doubleheader.
It will be hard to top yesterday's doubleheader sweep and news that Jeff Wilpon isn't involved in this round of sale talks. Robert Gsellman pitching five innings and not putting the team in a giant hole early will probably qualify. The offense scoring 11 runs for the third straight Gsellman start definitely will.
The Mets are having a tough end to the week, even with winning a double header over the Yankees. GM Brodie Van Wagenen was heard on a hot microphone complaining about how operations was going, and the Wilpons were not happy about it, leading to whispers of Van Wagenen possibly being fired. Then news of [...]
Too many Mets fans were all gloom and doom after they got swept by the Marlins a few days ago so hopefully a sweep of the hated Yankees gets those fans to back away from the ledge. And if a sweep by itself wasn’t good enough, how about one where the Mets collected come-from-behind wins [...]

It isn’t a stretch to say that the Mets rotation needs a talent like Seth Lugo. After Zack Wheeler took his services to the team that wanted him more than the Mets, Noah Syndergaard needed corrective surgery on his pitching elbow, Marcus Stroman decided to stay safe at home this year, and Steven Matz has [...]
Ever since Sixto Lezcano I've thought Sixto was a pretty cool name. And Mr. Sanchez is one of the top pitching prospects around. Gotta say, I like the name Sixto Wacha - sounds like a Bond villain or something.
Most of us have an inherent sense of fairness, where we want to see guys rewarded for the work that they do. This can manifest itself in many ways, both positive and negative. For me, it burns me up when someone gets preferential treatment because they were good on another team three years ago. How [...]
Wilson Ramos delivered an opposite field hit with a runner in scoring position in the bottom of the eighth inning to lift the Mets to a 5-4 win over the Marlins Wednesday night. Jacob deGrom started for the Mets and was his usual terrific self. He threw 104 pitches in seven innings, allowed just one [...]
Time to put yesterday's ugliness behind us.
The Mets returned to action after five days off due to the positive Covid tests and quickly showed that nothing has changed offensively. They were shut out of both games, went 0-15 with Runners In Scoring Position and left 19 on base for the two seven inning games that showed them to be both unfocused [...]
