A lot was made in the offseason about how David Stearns was going to prioritize defense. Which sounds great, at least until you have to watch those guys brought in for their defense actually hit. It typically doesn’t go well. Yesterday afternoon in Phoenix, with the team having had a crushing defeat the night before [...]
It would have been easy for the Mets to roll over after a demoralizing loss last night. But despite that setback they battled all game and came away with a 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks Thursday afternoon in Phoenix. The victory gave the Mets the series win and it also gave them the season series [...]

For some people, it’s hard to talk about death. My opinion is that deep down, very few of us are afraid of death. Rather it’s the slow, painful process that sometimes accompanies death that is the truly scary part. It’s the old joke – When I die, I want to die in my sleep, peacefully, [...]
Edwin Diaz gave up a grand slam homer for another demoralizing loss, as the Mets fell to the Diamondback, 8-5, Wednesday night in Phoenix. It’s the second straight appearance for Diaz where his gopher ball turned a win into a loss. With Dedniel Nunez seemingly unavailable, the Mets turned to Phil Maton to start the [...]

As a GM/PoBO, part of your job is to bring guys into the organization. But another part of your job is to divvy up playing time, which means both promoting and demoting/cutting guys. It’s both easy and proper to congratulate David Stearns for signing Sean Manaea and Jose Iglesias. But we can’t just acknowledge the [...]
There is one month left in the season, and the New York Mets are 68-63, a pace for 84 wins, which is also on pace for missing the playoffs by 2 games or so. Historically, the 86-win mark is the number a team needs to hit, but the team talent from pre-season forward has always [...]
The back end of the Mets’ bullpen has been so good for so long. But two of their best relievers gave up homers late, turning a 2-0 lead into a 3-2 loss Sunday afternoon in San Diego. The loss means the Mets split the four-game series with the Padres. But, should the two teams tie, [...]
