During a Mets360 game chatter a discussion began on the future position of Ronny Mauricio. The Mets #3 prospect (making a push to become the #2 prospect) is a natural shortstop who is destined to shift positions because of Francisco Lindor and the fact that he is 6’3” tall. Mauricio could be shifted to third [...]
Pete Alonso blasted two homers in the nightcap, powering the Mets to a 6-1 win over the Phillies and a split of the doubleheader Sunday in Philadelphia. The home team claimed a 3-2 win in the opener.

Gary Cohen said it was the biggest ninth-inning comeback for the Mets in 25 years. Ron Darling marveled over seven runs and eight hits in just 29 pitches, saying [...]
From 2015-2019, the BABIP for all of baseball on an annual basis ranged from .296 (’18) to .300 (’16 & ’17.) But in 2020 it dipped to .292 for the year. It was easy to dismiss that, as it was only a 60-game season. However, it was .292 again in 2021. Now, here in the [...]

The win gave the Braves a split of the four-game series and marked the first time this year the Mets didn’t win a series. Tylor Megill started off throwing five scoreless innings [...]
Please use this thread all week to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish. For years we heard about how the Mets were too reliant on the HR and how they chose to punt defense in an effort to get better bats in the lineup. And it's funny to consider that it's their rivals that are [...]
