If we didn’t know it beforehand, one thing that 2022 drove home without a doubt is that MLB players don’t perform within a short range of production over the entire season. Instead, they have peaks and valleys and there’s no limit to either the number or the height of those streaks. Two players were very [...]
If you like uninspired baseball, you’ve loved the past two games. The Mets were shut out for eight innings before losing by a 9-2 margin to the Royals. Kansas City, a team 40-games under .500, sweeps the three-game series. The Mets stacked their lineup with lefty hitters (note: Daniel Vogelbach did not play), with seven [...]
The New York Mets obviously have had a disappointing 2023 campaign. They've been playing under. 500 baseball for most of the season and are seven games back of the last Wild Card spot in the National League. And that is also with the highest payroll ever in Major League Baseball history at nearly $364 million. [...]
Steve Cohen came out to Kansas City to speak to his team. It didn’t help. The Mets got shut out by the lowly Royals, 4-0, Wednesday night. They’ll have to win Thursday afternoon to avoid the sweep. We probably should have known it wasn’t going to be the Mets’ night when they got the first [...]

The Mets lost on a walk-off balk. Let that roll around in your head for a minute. Is there a more soul-crushing way to lose a game? Which makes it the perfect way to end the day when they traded Justin Verlander. The Mets had leads of 1-0, 4-3 and 6-4 but lost to the [...]
Last night for my CPL season
The Mets have sent Tommy Pham to the Diamondbacks in exchange for shortstop Jeremy Rodriguez. A member of this year's international free agent class, Rodriguez was ranked 47th on MLB.com's list. Arizona signed him for a $1.25 million bonus. As a comparison, Mets' signee Cristopher Larez, also a shortstop, was ranked 43rd on the same [...]
You can't rebuild in New York, or so they say. Maybe we need to amend that to say repurpose, Billy Eppler's word after they traded Max Scherzer. The repurpose marches on, as the Mets have dealt Justin Verlander to the Astros for minor league outfielders Drew Gilbert and Ryan Clifford, just hours before today's trade [...]
