After going 5-11 in Week 1 last year, I was stoked to go 10-5-1 on the Opening Week of 2024. Now to keep the momentum going this week.
Welcome to the final Power Rankings of the season. Unfortunately, this only has two people collaborating on the list, with Gus Livaditis joining me. The numbers in parenthesis are where we each ranked the team individually. On to the list! 1. Philadelphia Phillies (B2, G2) – After a stretch where they didn’t play well, the [...]
After being no-hit for eight innings, the Mets broke out in a big way, scoring six runs in the ninth thanks to two home runs and they emerged with a 6-2 win over the Blue Jays in Toronto Wednesday afternoon. The victory gave the Mets the series win and sends them to a key series [...]
Please use this thread all week to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish. Please use this space instead of going off topic on the most-recent thread.
The David Peterson luck ran out Tuesday, as he didn’t pitch particularly well and the offense certainly didn’t perform for him like it has for most of his outings. The result was a 6-2 loss to the Blue Jays. Combined with a win for the Braves and the two teams are back tied for the [...]
All baseball fans are aware that hitters go thru hot streaks and cold spells. Back in 2018, it was identified that it was common for a hitter who otherwise wasn’t very good to go thru a hot streak that lasted around six weeks that stood out completely from numbers that otherwise were pretty bad. Here’s [...]
When Tylor Megill and Ryne Stanek combine for seven shutout innings with 12 Ks, you better win. And that’s exactly what happened for the Mets Monday night, as they edged the Blue Jays, 3-2. Combined with a loss by the Braves, the Mets moved into sole possession of the third Wild Card spot. If you’re [...]

The Mets are in a playoff run with the Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks this Spring and that was probably more than I would have hoped for seeing that our Ace would only pitch in one game for the team. The Mets are still very much relevant and a lot of that credit goes to [...]
Last Sunday, the Mets pitched a shutout and won 2-0. For a second it looked like they were going to win with an even higher degree of difficulty, as they took a 1-0 lead into the seventh inning. But the Reds tied it in the seventh and scored two more in the ninth. And since [...]
When you're 9-1 in your last 10 and your team is winning games because Jose Quintana is pitching 6.2 scoreless innings and Harrison Bader is hitting a home run, it’s difficult not to get swept up in things and believe that this could be a special season. Now, if they can score more than two [...]
