The Mets found out that it’s not so easy having multiple days off before the start of a playoff series, as after three full days off they were blanked by the Dodgers, 9-0, Sunday night in L.A. It’s the first time in these playoffs that the Mets have trailed in a series. Kodai Senga got [...]
With having to face better pitching in the playoffs, the theory is that a team needs to be able to hit home runs in order to advance, as it’s tougher to string a bunch of hits together. This wasn’t the case for the Mets in the series against Milwaukee, as they advanced despite being out-homered, [...]
Mets Manager Carlos Mendoza has released the names of his starting pitchers for the first three games of the NLCS against the Dodgers. Kodai Senga is scheduled to start game one, followed by Sean Manaea in game two with Luis Severino tapped for game three back in Citi Field. This rotation looks solid… but it [...]
By now, the charter has touched down at LAX. At around 10:30 EDT on Friday, October 11, 2024, Fernando Tatis, Jr. of the San Diego Padres hit a first-pitch grounder to third baseman Enrique Hernandez of the Los Angeles Dodgers for the final out of Los Angeles’s 2-0 victory in Game 5 of what is [...]

It begins with a few brief notes from an organ you might hear at a ball park. Then we hear a crowd apparently getting stirred up just as a game is about to get underway. And then we hear Bob welcoming us, and introducing this show’s theme: Tonight we’re going to head out to the [...]
Hey, not sure if you’ve heard but the Mets are going to the NLCS. It’s a tremendous accomplishment for a team that most of us didn’t think would even make the playoffs, much less win two series once there. Sure, sure – your neighbor and your co-worker and half the guys at the bar will [...]
Francisco Lindor, who doubled in his previous AB, hit a grand slam home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to propel the Mets to a 4-1 win over the Phillies Wednesday at Citi Field. The victory gave the Mets the NLDS win and vaults them into the NLCS against either the Dodgers or [...]
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.
Sean Manaea turned in a terrific start and the offense came alive, with nine hits and five walks. And that turned into a 7-2 win over the Phillies and a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. The Mets can clinch tomorrow with Jose Quintana taking the mound in another 5:08 p.m. start. Pete Alonso gave [...]
So much has been made about the pitching moves of Carlos Mendoza and the performances of the relievers so far in both the Wild Card and the divisional series that the offense has avoided scrutiny.
