Things are going pretty good for the Mets in the early going in 2022. Despite two starting pitchers being on the injured list, including Jacob deGrom, and now two starting outfielders being out under Covid concerns, the Mets are 6-3 and with a win later today, they’ll have taken the series against their first three [...]
The Mets got another good outing from a starting pitcher. But a leaky bullpen and an offense that was missing in action for most of the game led to a 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks Saturday afternoon in Citi Field. Carlos Carrasco pitched five shutout innings and fanned eight. However, a high pitch count kept [...]

In the last three full seasons, the Mets haven’t been very good with runners in scoring position. Well, that’s not exactly true. In 2019 they were middle of the pack in the National League. But in 2018 and in 2021, the Mets were hanging near the bottom in both PA with RISP and overall runs [...]

Please use this thread all week to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish. On Opening Day, Tylor Megill squared off against Patrick Corbin, with Megill winning the head-to-head battle. Each pitcher has pitched a second game and while they did not square off a second time, Megill still pitched better. It's got to be particularly [...]
