Please use this thread all week to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish. Everyone knows what a disappointing year that Michael Conforto had at the plate. Coming off a season where he posted a 158 wRC+, Conforto notched a 106 mark in the same category in 2021. But it was also the worst defensive season [...]
Below are my grades for the 2021 Mets. Grading is a subjective process at best. My goal is to incorporate actual production, along with preseason expectations, as well as the individual’s role on the club. This means not all grades that are the same are equal. Pete Alonso – Perhaps the most consistent player on [...]
Every Spring the Mets faithful cannot wait to roll out predictions of 90 or more wins, buoyed by a battery of predictions from a string of prognosticators bullish on the team. The enthusiasm runs right into opening day, where the Mets have the most admirable record in the game. At the top of this sits [...]
The 2021 Mets season ended like it started – with a loss. Six Braves pitchers combined on a 3-hit shutout, leading Atlanta to a 5-0 victory.

The Mets made history in 2021. In all of Baseball history, the 2021 New York Mets are the team that spent the longest time in first place in a season and finished that same year with a win-loss record under .500. When something like this happens, there is always a lot of blame to go [...]
Brandon Nimmo hit two home runs to power the Mets to a 4-3 win over the Braves Friday night in Atlanta. With the Braves already clinching the NL East, several stars did not play in this game, including Freddie Freeman. Nimmo had just 12 XBH in his first 184 ABs after being activated from the [...]
As this disappointing season fizzles out this weekend, Steve Cohen and Sandy Alderson will be focused on finding a new General Manager and/or President of Baseball Operations. This new person(s) will have to hit the ground running as the Mets have a lame duck manager and coaches, as well as 14 free agents. Okay, since [...]
