Try to act surprised – the Mets lost on a day that ends in “y.” For the 16th time in the last 21 games the Mets took one on the chin, losing Monday night to the Brewers, 2-1. Justin Verlander needed 27 pitches to get out of the first inning and that high pitch count [...]
Sunday’s soul-crushing loss proves yet again that just because you want something to be true, doesn’t make it so. The Mets want so much to believe that their LH relievers can get out lefty batters on a regular basis that they’ll go for the platoon advantage over using their best-available reliever when a lefty is [...]
This was a brutal loss. The matchup looked like a sure “L” before the first pitch, with the Mets sending Carlos Carrasco out to face Zack Wheeler. Yet, somehow, the Mets held a 6-3 lead in the eighth inning. But Brett Baty botched a double play ball and those option relievers couldn’t close the door, [...]
Danny Mendick appeared in Saturday’s starting lineup as the Mets third basemen. It was certainly not what the fans expected and not much is known about this under the radar choice to be called up in the face of the Eduardo Escobar trade.

The Mets got good pitching, enough offense and their defense didn’t let them down. The end result was a 4-2 win against the Phillies in the middle game of their series Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia. Max Scherzer was staked to a 2-0 lead. And while he gave up the tying runs, the Mets went ahead [...]
My preference is to be upbeat and optimistic when it comes to the Mets. But let’s be honest, there just isn’t a ton to be excited about here as we near the mid-point of the 2023 season. Instead, what we have is a ton of frustration. It’s my belief that players, coaches and management care [...]
With MLB-quality defense, the Mets would have had the chance to win the game, 1-0. Instead, two balls fell to the ground that should have been caught and the Phillies won, 5-1, in the opening game of three in Philadelphia Friday night. The leadoff batter hit a pop to shallow center field. Brandon Nimmo plays [...]
