The New York Mets, at 51-43, continue to sit atop the division seemingly against all odds when considering the number of injuries they’ve endured. Despite being near the top of the league in number of players and total days spent on the injured list (not to mention total salary), the team has managed to stave [...]
While we may dream of a rotation of Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Carlos Carrasco, Marcus Stroman, and Taijuan Walker, the reality is that only three of those pitchers have even taken the mound to date and their depth replacements - David Peterson, Joey Lucchesi, Jordan Yamamoto, Robert Gsellman, Corey Oswalt, et al - have all [...]
Sometimes it can be hard to remember now, but from 2014-2018, Jeurys Familia was a very good reliever. The only blip in that time period was 2017, when he missed a good chunk of the year with a blood clot in his arm. Familia’s final line that year doesn’t look good but even that’s a [...]
Marcus Stroman gave the Mets everything they could have hoped for, as he went eight innings after the bullpen logged so many frames the past three games. On top of that, Stroman did not allow a run, as the Mets had a rare laugher from start to finish, with a 7-0 win over the Reds [...]
Use this thread to comment on any Mets-specific topic you wish. As of game time yesterday, the Mets' 26-man roster had 15 pitchers and 11 hitters. And with injuries to the starters, only four are listed as SP, which means there are 11 relievers on the squad. And not one of those 11 relievers are [...]
It was going to be a tough go for the Mets tonight with Robert Stock facing off against Wade Miley, who came in at 7-4 with a no-hitter under his belt. The Mets were hoping that Stock could keep them in the game and give them five innings. Instead, he got hurt running out a [...]
In their last eight games, the Mets have accumulated 54 runs. For a team that’s struggled to score all season, it’s wonderful to see, even if it’s come against the last-place Pirates and a no-name starter for the Reds. You can’t score that many runs without both some power and the hit gods smiling in [...]
It was quite a night. The Mets found out tonight that 7 HR > 4 E’s and a closer who blows a save in his third straight game, as they powered out a 15-11 win in 11 innings over the Reds in Cincinnati Monday night. Back-to-back homers by Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil staked the [...]
In the fourth inning Sunday’s wild 7-6 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, Mets utility player Travis Blankenhorn clubbed a pinch-hit three-run home run off JT Brubaker for his first career homer. It was a moment that had to feel especially good for the 24-year-old coming his home state of Pennsylvania. Not only that, but the [...]
