It can be done, you know. We’ve seen it happen and when it does, it makes for legendary teams with legendary stories, especially if there’s a trophy and a ring at the end. There has been many a baseball bestseller that tells the tale of the team with talent enough to take it all the [...]
Patrick Mazeika came up with the bases loaded and hit the ball about 20 feet. But it was far enough away from the pitcher to bring home Pete Alonso from third base with the winning run, giving the Mets a 5-4 win over the Diamondback Friday night at Citi Field. It looked like the Mets [...]
We have heard an awful lot about Jacob deGrom‘s improvement these last few years. However, we don’t get a chance to understand or hear from the announcers just how deGrom got so much better than he used to be. deGrom was drafted in the ninth round of the 2010 draft as a light hitting shortstop [...]

Please use this chatter for both games of the twinbill.

By the 2020-2021 offseason, Reid-Foley was a part of a package of three players that the Blue Jays sent to the Mets for Steven Matz, who was awful during the [...]
