As the double-digit number of guys on the IL start to return, the Mets and their fans are going to have to face some hard realities. We all want to see the stars and name players return. But by necessity, that means that some of the "bench mob" will have to be sent packing. Yennsy [...]
In Saturday night’s nationally televised game, one of the announcers made a comment that – speculating – was meant as a put down but is actually something worth discussing in more detail. He said that today’s game has essentially turned every hitter into Dave Kingman. Lifetime, Kingman had a .236 AVG and a .302 OBP [...]

Please use this chatter for both games today.
Yesterday's rainout necessitated a doubleheader today. Since going to 7-inning games in twinbills, the Mets haven't fared particularly well but that's not a big surprise given that their record in 2020 was lousy. This year, the Mets have played three doubleheaders and they swept Philadelphia and split with Colorado and St. Louis. Marcus Stroman was [...]
