After blowing two leads late against the Pirates in the previous six games, it was only fair that the Mets scored two runs in the ninth inning Sunday to salvage the final game of the series, with a 7-6 win. Michael Conforto delivered the game-winning hit with a two-run homer, which drove in Dominic Smith. [...]
Last night’s loss was crushing. In a way, it's 21st Century baseball in a nutshell. The starting pitcher was cruising but because he was approaching the 100-pitch boogeyman, he was removed from the game. Tylor Megill had pitched six shutout innings and his pitch count stood at 93. His spot in the order was due [...]
Last night’s loss was bad because there was seemingly no effort. Tonight’s was even worse, as the Pirates rallied from a 6-0 deficit in the late innings to win on a walkoff grand slam, edging the Mets, 9-7, Saturday night in Pittsburgh. The Pirates put up a five-spot in the eighth inning against Seth Lugo [...]
Over the course of the four days that the New York Mets had in-between blowing a five-run lead on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and their game against the Pirates last night, a lot happened for them. The night of them blowing that large lead, a lead which if they would have held onto would [...]
The best thing about this game was that the rain delay only lasted about 40 minutes. In one of the most uninspiring efforts you could possibly imagine, the Mets fell to the Pirates, 4-1, in the opening game of the second half Friday night in Pittsburgh. The Pirates had a pitcher who didn’t have great [...]
Everyone’s seemingly talking about trades. The good news is that the Mets are in the trade market as buyers and not sellers. There’s healthy debate about what the team needs most. Is it a third baseman or a starter or possibly even a reliever? You can make a case for any of these. The issue [...]
The joke is that nothing ruins your Friday more than finding out it’s only Tuesday. Along those same lines, is there anything worse for a baseball fan than thinking your team is returning from the All-Star break Thursday only to find out they’re not playing until Friday? Part of me thinks the traditionalists ought to [...]
Please use this thread to comment on any Mets-specific topic you wish. A Facebook friend put up a post a couple of days ago about the injury to Ronald Acuna Jr. He also mentioned about Mike Soroka, Travis d'Arnaud and Marcell Ozuna being out and put how they were still in the race despite all [...]
#10, Kumar Rocker, 21, RHP - Vanderbilt The Amateur draft began Sunday night and, unsurprisingly, Jack Leiter fell off the board before the Mets were close to making their selection. The son of the former Met pitcher, Al Leiter, would have been an amazing storyline but Leiter would be off the board on the second [...]
