Earlier in the day the Mets were mathematically eliminated from the postseason. They celebrated with another one-run loss, this one a 2-1 setback to the Brewers Saturday night in Milwaukee. Michael Conforto doubled and scored on a hit by Javier Baez. Aaron Loup pitched a scoreless inning to lower his ERA to 0.98 for the [...]
Back when I had the time to follow the Mets minor league system much more closely than I’m able to today, I fell into the trap of “falling in love” with several of the Mets’ prospects more often than I care to admit. They tend to break your heart, as the saying goes, and over [...]
The change in venue from Boston to Milwaukee did absolutely nothing to inspire the Mets to play better baseball. The Brewers opened the series with a 5-1 win Friday night. The game started off on the right foot, as Brandon Nimmo led off the game with a triple. Despite that, and the fact that the [...]
Much has been made about Javier Baez’ recent patience at the plate. Allegedly, he’s been swinging at fewer pitches outside the strike zone and that’s driving his recent strong hitting. Baez has a .938 OPS with the Mets, after having a .775 OPS the beginning of the season with the Cubs. But that doesn’t even [...]
Please use this thread all week to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish. It's been quite an in-season contrast for Francisco Lindor.

The Red Sox scored in each of their first six half innings en route to a 12-5 win over the Mets Wednesday night in Boston. The win gave Boston a sweep of this two-game series, to go along with an earlier two-game sweep in New York. Taijuan Walker gave up 6 ER in 2 IP, [...]
We all know about the Mets’ inability to produce with runners in scoring position. We can go to Baseball-Reference and in a couple of clicks find out that the team is 14th in the NL in OPS with RISP, with a .695 OPS. But that doesn’t tell the entire story. Because it seems like the [...]
When the Mets played the Red Sox earlier in the season, they gave up three runs in two games and lost both of them. They decided this series was going to be different. They allowed six runs in the first game this time and lost, 6-3, Tuesday night in Boston. The Mets jumped on top [...]
