Edwin Diaz was solid for the Mets last year but not many people were doing cartwheels over a season that saw six losses, six blown saves and a 3.45 ERA. This year, he has allowed a higher BB/9 and a higher HR/9 yet has a 2.28 ERA. And as sparkling as that ERA is, it’s [...]
Khalil Lee hit his first homer in the majors but it wasn't nearly enough, as the Angels jumped out to an 8-0 lead and cruised to an 11-6 win Saturday night in Anaheim. Carlos Carrasco alternated between great and awful, as he piled up both strikeouts and extra-base hits allowed. But strikeouts don't mean a [...]
Some things are simply inevitable. Like death and taxes. For the last 15 years or so, an addition to that short list has been necessary: the Mets’ early season promise disappearing as the All-Star break approaches. Even in the grand years, like 2015 and 2016, mid-June-to-early-July has been a tough slog for the boys from [...]
Mark Canha and Brandon Nimmo each had two hits and drove in three runs, as the Mets snapped a two-game losing streak with a 7-3 win over the Angels Friday night in Anaheim. It was the 15th loss in the last 16 games for the Angels. The Mets jumped on top in the second inning [...]

At first, it seemed like maybe he was taking the maximum number of days a veteran is allowed to report, something you would expect a guy sulking about his demotion to do. But, [...]
The Mets acquired Trevor Williams at the trade deadline in 2021 but he was the throw-in, not the main acquisition in the deal, the one that sent Javier Baez to the Mets. After they acquired him, the Mets sent him to the minors, which no doubt didn’t sit well with the veteran who had spent [...]
It was a tall order for the Mets to take on Sean Manaea without two of their best righty hitters. And that was further compounded by another poor start from Chris Bassitt. The end result was a 13-2 beatdown from the Padres. This was just the second series loss of the season for the Mets [...]

It hasn't been a great year so far for Yu Darvish but the veteran hurler owned the Mets Tuesday night, as he allowed just two hits over seven shutout innings, to lead the Padres to a 7-0 win over the Mets, which evened the series at a game apiece. Taijuan Walker allowed four runs in [...]
