Before the season started, this figured to be the Mets’ most challenging time with the schedule. After seven games with the Padres and Cubs, they were going to have a host of games against division rivals. The hope was that by now the rotation would be complete and that the club would be at full [...]
For the second straight series, the Mets entered the last game with a chance to sweep, only to come out on the short end of things, this time by a 2-0 loss to the Cubs Thursday night at Citi Field. Still, after splitting with the Orioles, if someone gave you a chance to go 5-2 [...]
In his last three games, Dominic Smith is 4-9 with a double and two homers. It seems like every time that Smith or Pete Alonso or Francisco Lindor strings together a handful of games with good results that we’re expecting them to put up a month-long stretch like this and it just hasn’t happened yet.

In his previous two starts, Peterson allowed 11 H and [...]
The Mets promoted their Top Prospect (depending on rankings) from Low to Advanced A on May 25th placing their 19 year old catching prospect, Francisco Alvarez, in their most talented lineup with Ronny Mauricio, Brett Baty, Adrian Hernandez and Luke Ritter. Alvarez had been destroying the pitchers in Florida and had quickly proved himself more [...]
