The Braves scored 20 unanswered runs to rout the Mets, 20-2, Wednesday night in Atlanta. In a game like this, typically you say – well, at least no one got hurt. But starter David Peterson left the game early and since it’s 2021, we should probably expect an IL stint. Either way, the blowout allowed [...]
Please use this thread to comment on any Mets-specific topic you wish. Corey Oswalt's name has been mentioned several times here recently in the comments section. Among others, Wobbit made a reference that he liked him and Matty Mets came down unequivocally with the exact opposite conclusion. Oswalt has split time between the majors and [...]
The division-leading Mets kicked off a three game series in Atlanta by coming from behind to knock off the Braves 4-3, ending a 2-game losing skid. Starters Charlie Morton and Tylor Megill both pitched scoreless ball through the first four frames. However the third time through the order proved to be Megill’s undoing. In the [...]

Eickhoff gave up four solo homers and Espino gave up just five singles, as the Mets fell by an 8-4 score Monday in [...]
It’s still hard to wrap my head around the fact that the Mets’ strengths include their defense and relief pitching while one of their weaknesses is their offense, particularly power. The old saying is this is why we watch because you never really know what’s going to happen. But, truth be told, it’s more fun [...]
Zack Wheeler was just too much for the Mets to handle and they dug too deep of a hole to climb out against even the Phillies’ bullpen, as they lost the final game of four, 4-2. The Mets ended up with a split of the series. This was the third time this season the Mets [...]
Today’s matchup features Zack Wheeler versus Marcus Stroman, two pitchers who are linked in team history. Former Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen acquired Stroman at the trade deadline in 2019, to improve the club’s chances that season and to essentially act as a replacement for Wheeler, who was a free agent in the 2019-20 offseason.
