It’s a rare game when you fall behind by six runs and feel like you let one get away but that’s exactly what happened to the Mets on Monday, as they let a 7-6 lead in the eighth inning evaporate before falling, 9-8, in 10 innings. The two teams split the four-game series. David Peterson [...]
The criminally underrated Josh Wilker dives into his baseball card collection to make sense of Tom Seaver's passing and comes up with the 1975 Mets Team Card. I’m glad, in the end, that I ended up with this card. It’s not like the Seaver cards I have, or think I have, where he’s either in [...]
In his last four games, a streak that started with a game against the Mets, Wheeler has a 1.71 ERA and a 0.911 WHIP.
At the time of the deal to acquire Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz, popular results among Mets fans was mixed. Maybe it tilted more towards those who thought it was a bad idea but certainly no worse than a 55-45 type of split. Then, after just about everything that possibly could go wrong from a [...]
The Mets hit five home runs en route to setting season highs in both hits and runs to back Jacob deGrom, who was his usual terrific self, as the Mets won in a laugher, 14-1, over the Phillies Sunday afternoon. The win raised the team’s record in blowouts – typically a strong measure of a [...]
Nola leads the NL in WHIP while deGrom is second in ERA.
After Saturday’s game against the Phillies, the Mets had a 44.4% chance of making the playoffs, according to Baseball-Reference. Given how bad they had played recently, that seemed almost encouraging. Considering how their pitching has been decimated, how they’ve suffered a Covid suspension of play and how the manager/front office has made some truly head-scratching [...]
Seth Lugo gave the Mets something they haven’t had in weeks – a win from their starting pitcher. Lugo recovered from giving up a first inning homer to go five innings, pitching the Mets to a 5-1 win over the Phillies. It was the Mets’ third win in their last four games, with each win [...]
Lugo went from 39 pitches in his first start to 60 in his second. Hopefully today he's up to 80.
The Phillies handled the Mets in their first meeting and come into this series having won nine of their last 10 games.
After close to four decades of controversial ownership that included dubious financial practices, many second-tier free agent signings, much interference with their Front Office’s work, and some foot-in-mouth comments, the Wilpon and Katz families are divesting themselves in the coming days of most of their Mets ownership. Interestingly, news is coming out today of a [...]
A lot of things went wrong for the Mets on Thursday. But J.D. Davis hit a homer in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game and Pete Alonso hit a walkoff homer in the 10th to lift the Mets to a 9-7 win over the Yankees and a split of the six-game series [...]
