Earlier this season, ChrisF and I were discussing how we should look at the wins versus the Phillies. The crux of the issue was: Could we claim them as “good” wins as the Phillies were under .500 at the time the Mets played them? This discussion came to mind yesterday while reading this comment from [...]
Eduardo Escobar became just the 11th player in Mets history to hit for the cycle, as he drove in six runs and scored three more to lead the Mets to an 11-5 win over the Padres Monday night in San Diego. Things started early for Escobar, as he delivered a two-run single in the first [...]
The Amateur Draft is scheduled for later this month and the Mets will be picking four times in the first day and first 72 picks. The Mets are rightfully expected to draft a lot of pitching with the caveat that a player too good to pass up drops to them. Today’s analysis goes through some [...]
What an exciting game! The Mets fell behind in the first inning, rallied to take the lead in the eighth, lost it in the ninth, re-took it in the 10th and then had to sweat out a rookie with the go-ahead run at second base. But Adonis Medina got the job done, giving the Mets [...]
Pete Alonso has been on fire here recently. In his last 17 games he has a .349/.429/.762 line in 76 PA, with 8 HR and 24 RBIs in that span. It’s brought his season-long OPS+ to 160, which is tops on the club among the 15 hitters to have amassed at least 15 PA this [...]
We know how long it takes to recover from a cross country flight west – two days. After scuffling with the bats the first two games of the series, totaling just one run in 18 innings, the Mets busted out with nine runs and 13 hits en route to a 9-4 win over the Dodgers [...]
On May 29th, 2022, Nick Plummer strode to the plate in the bottom of the 9th with the Mets down 4 to 3 to the Phillies. Plummer had not had a good first start in the big leagues. He had struck out twice in three appearances at the plate and mishandled a ball in the [...]
Thursday night, the Mets lost a close game to the Dodgers that appeared like one from 2021. Friday night they got taken behind the woodshed, which seemed more like 2017. The Dodgers won, 6-1, in a game that didn’t feel that close. Chris Bassitt had traffic on the bases nearly every inning and gave up [...]
