If Monday’s loss to the Phillies was the most disappointing one of the year, Tuesday’s 4-0 setback needs a tag, too. It felt like both teams were playing hungover for the majority of the game. Hungover? Apathetic? Impotent? Those all seem like good descriptions of the Mets’ play in this game. You could say the [...]

From the comfort of my office chair, here are the moves I’d like to see the Mets make today: 1. Send down Brett Baty, DFA Joey Wendle and call up Jose Iglesias and Mark Vientos to the majors. It’s far from certain to me that either Iglesias or Vientos are roster-worthy. But it’s pretty clear [...]

If you're like me, you have a mental image of what a hitting streak should be like. Lots of hits, some power, perhaps a few walks, too. Here are some hot stretches by Mets players so far in 2024: Brandon Nimmo - 12 G, 53 PA, .311/.415/.600 Francisco Lindor - 10 G, 42 PA, .359/.405/.641 [...]
Well, at least it is for one Mets fan I could name. Back in March, some clown wrote that this 2024 season would be a mystery, that we couldn’t really gauge how it would play out at that early juncture. The way this team was constructed, in the aftermath of the scorched-Earth summer of 2023, [...]
