On a picturesque mid 50’s sunny afternoon in the middle of spring break in the Big Apple, the Giants and Mets played the last game of a four game series. Carlos Carrasco was on the mound for the Mets and Anthony Discalfani for the Giants. The Giants lead off hitter, Mike Yastrzemski, led off the [...]
In the shortened 2020 season, Chasen Shreve turned in a pretty good year for the Mets. The overall numbers don’t look that great, due to two bad outings at the end of the year. But in his first 13 games, he pitched in 17, Shreve had a 1.99 ERA, a 0.926 WHIP and he limited [...]
The Mets fell behind early and while they battled back nicely against a Giants’ bullpen that stymied them in two games on Tuesday, they could not complete the comeback, as they fell, 5-1 Wednesday night at Citi Field. Chris Bassitt started and gave up three runs before the Mets came to bat. He’d give up [...]
Please use this thread all week to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish. Buck Showalter is giving all of his hitters a chance here in the early going. Let's see how that compares to the three previous managers to hand the umpire a lineup card in April in their first (or second) year at the [...]

The doubleheader sweep runs the Mets’ record to 9-3 on the season. The Mets fell behind 4-1 in the opener but [...]

It did not include lefty David Peterson, who started the year in Syracuse, or righty Tylor Megill, who seemed likely to join Peterson in the minors or at best be a long-relief pitcher. However due to injuries to ace Jacob deGrom [...]
Earlier today, Chris F made a post about the starting pitchers, which essentially said that while what they've done is great, they're not going deep enough into games. It's an important point and one which it's hard to imagine anyone dissenting. Still, it got me wondering how the Mets stack up against the rest of [...]
Pete Alonso impacted the game with both his baserunning and his power. Meanwhile, five Mets pitchers combined on a shutout, as the Mets downed the Diamondbacks, 5-0. It was the third shutout of the season and the win gave the Mets the series, the third win in as many tries to begin the season. The [...]
