In the last seven games, the Mets have gone 3-4 and for once, we can’t blame the offense for why the club didn’t earn more wins. In that span, eight players have amassed at least 21 PA and four of them have an OPS of .996 or greater. This is perhaps a bit better but [...]
In the first half of the season, if the Mets scored four runs it was almost a guaranteed win. Well, the offense reached that plateau for the third time in their last four games but they lost all of them, this one a 7-5 setback to the Giants in San Francisco Monday night. The Mets [...]
After Sunday night’s ugly 14-4 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers dropping the Mets to just one game over .500 and 2.5-games behind the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves, the season seemingly hangs in the balance in mid-August. Carlos Carrasco was roughed up to the tune of six runs on six hits in only 2.0 innings, [...]
After two hard-fought games that didn't go their way, the Mets rolled over and got swept, losing to the Dodgers by 10 runs on Sunday Night Baseball. Carlos Carrasco gave up six runs in two innings.

For the second straight night, the Mets lost in extra innings by one run, this time a 2-1 setback to the Dodgers. Seth Lugo was really good in the ninth inning but he did not come back for the 10th. Instead, it was Yennsy Diaz, who gave up an RBI double to Cody Bellinger for [...]
Well, this didn’t age well…and it’s only a month old. Heading to the All-Star break, things were coming up aces in Mets land. They had the best record in the NL East, a three-and-a-half game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies, which, while not exactly commanding, looked likely to be enough of a cushion in a [...]
Jeurys Familia served up a two-run homer in the 10th inning, sending the Mets to a 6-5 loss in the opening game of their series with the Dodgers Friday night at Citi Field. The whole game was a roller coaster ride. Unfortunately, it left the Mets having to use Familia for the third straight game [...]
