On Saturday’s broadcast, Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez were discussing Francisco Lindor and how his season turned around once he moved to the top of the lineup. To his credit, Cohen wondered if it was purely coincidental, as Lindor was going to heat up regardless of where he hit in the order. Hernandez countered with [...]
In a season where some think pitching has been too dominant, the Mets won their first 1-0 game of the season in their 97th contest of the 2024 campaign Saturday afternoon in Miami. The win gets the Mets back to three games above .500 at 50-47. The 2023 Mets were four games worse at 46-51 [...]

It is rare in sports, and in life in general, that you see a partnership work out equally well for both partners. For the New York Mets and Harrison Bader, they seem to have struck a perfect chord, as he has flourished this season. The Mets signed Bader this past offseason to a one year, [...]
The second half of the season didn’t get off to the start the Mets hoped for, as they fell behind by four runs and ended up with a 6-4 loss to the Marlins Friday night in Miami. Sean Manaea started and didn’t have it. He threw too many pitches over the heart of the plate [...]

No matter how you slice it, 2024 has been a bad year for Jeff McNeil. Combine that with his rotten 2021 and his 2023 season where he was bad for the first four months of the year, there’s a lot to be concerned about his ability to be productive going forward. At the same time, [...]
You hear people say that pitching is too dominant and we need more offense in the game. My belief is that just because people say something, well, that doesn’t make it true. But let’s not assume that they’re wrong, either. Let’s approach this question of offense with an open mind. It seems to me that [...]
There are always going to be bad relievers. But there are different levels of bad. There’s Adam Ottavino and his 4.89 ERA bad. Beyond that, there’s Jake Diekman and his 5.53 ERA bad. But in the first half, the Mets had seven relievers beyond Diekman-level bad. In alphabetical order, here were the baddest of the [...]
This is David Peterson’s fifth season pitching for the Mets. In that time span he’s pitched in 88 games and has made 72 starts. And despite all of that time in the majors, he’s kind of an enigma. If someone asked you if Peterson was good – how would you answer? It seems impossible to [...]
