We all know that the bullpen is horrific and Buck Showalter’s unwillingness to push his starting pitchers to give more only slightly better. But as Woodrow says over and over again, the offense leaves an awful lot to be desired, too. In the last 14 games, the Mets have scored 49 runs, an average of [...]
It was an even game until the bullpen got involved. But Sean Reid-Foley and Grant Hartwig combined to give up three runs in the seventh inning and the end result was a 5-2 loss to the Twins in the opener of a three-game set in Minnesota Friday night. Kodai Senga started for the Mets and [...]
In the seven games since his recall from the minors after a one-game rehab, Mark Vientos sports a .318/.423/.682 line, thanks in part to a triple and two homers among his seven hits.

It’s tough to make sense of David Peterson’s year here in 2023. Penciled in to be a depth starter before the season started, Peterson was pressed into duty right away due to the injuries suffered by Jose Quintana and Justin Verlander. And, quite simply, he was awful. Peterson made eight starts before he was sent [...]
