With last night’s no-hitter, the Mets are now 15-6 and their .714 winning percentage is the best in the majors. There’s no other way to describe it than as a terrific start. Of course, last year started off pretty good, too, and ended up in a mini disaster. But while last year’s start felt more [...]
Edwin Diaz faced the heart of the Phillies’ order in the ninth inning and struck out the side, preserving a 3-0 lead and giving the Mets their second no-hitter in franchise history. Johan Santana threw 134 pitches in the club’s first no-no. This one saw five pitchers combine to throw 159 pitches. The Phillies came [...]
Brandon Nimmo is off to a strong start, as he has a .268/.379/.518 slash line after 67 PA. It’s great to see an ISO of .250 for him in the early going, as seven of his 15 hits have gone for extra-bases. But what might be the most encouraging thing so far is that Nimmo [...]

The Cardinals scored in the [...]
Please use this thread all week to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish. You probably know that Tomas Nido has been the personal catcher of Max Scherzer. You may not realize he's been that for Carlos Carrasco, too. The only other start for Nido has been the Trevor Williams debacle. Meanwhile, James McCann has caught [...]
The visiting Mets prevailed over St. Louis Tuesday night 3-0, assuring the Mets of winning this series, and making the Mets 6-0 in winning series to start the season. The game was nowhere near as exciting as the barn-burner of an opener of the series, but it counts the same in the scorebook as they [...]
One of the things I will be tracking on my second post of each month will be the Mets Top 20 prospect list and major movements within the Top 50 list. During the first month of the season the Mets have had some mixed results amongst their four tiers of full season minor league baseball. [...]
