The Mets broke out the long ball, hitting two homers and three doubles to power their way to a 6-3 win over the Yankees Tuesday night at Citi Field. After falling behind, 2-0, in the top of the first, the Mets responded with a four-run bottom of the inning. Starling Marte hit a one-out solo [...]
Today we’ll continue on yesterday’s theme about the Mets’ need to add more home run power to their offense. Whenever you say something like the Mets don’t hit enough homers, inevitably someone will say something like – I want the team to be able to score in a variety of ways. Thanks Captain Obvious! That [...]
As a fan of power, it amuses me to see the 180 that fans have done when it comes to the Mets and the long ball. When they jumped out to a great start beating up on the Nationals and Phillies, people were crowing about how the Mets were getting it done mostly without the [...]
Pete Alonso got the Mets back on the winning track with two big extra-base hits, leading the Mets to an 8-5 win over the Padres Sunday night at Citi Field. Trailing 1-0, Alonso came up in the sixth inning with two men on and unloaded a homer to left field to give the Mets their [...]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – the Mets mustered very little offense and a questionable/blown call by the home plate umpire led to a home run by the other team. This one led to a two-run homer, as the Padres downed the Mets, 2-1, Saturday night at Citi Field. Chris Bassitt pitched [...]
We don’t really need to completely rehash the trade that brought Edwin Diaz and Robinson Cano to the Mets before the 2019 season, though suffice it to say it didn’t start out well from the Mets’ perspective. Cano’s tenure was a mixed bag of up-and-down performances and a PED suspension that culminated in the team [...]
Yu Darvish shut down the Mets for the second time in as many starts this year, leading the Padres to a 4-1 win over the Mets Friday night at Citi Field. Darvish throws as many pitches as Chris Bassitt and the Mets couldn’t do anything against any of them for most of the night. He [...]
One of the Mets' highest priorities is to upgrade the DH performance, according to team President Sandy Alderson. So far, J.D. Davis and Dom Smith have mostly split the job, with disappointing results. Davis has a slash line of .234/.325/.345 and Smith is even worse with a .194/.276/.284 line. Is there a trade target out [...]
