Back in February, before the lockout was settled, a piece ran here with pairs of teammates who were connected, at least in my mind. One such duo was Starling Marte and Brandon Nimmo. Now that the season is a couple of weeks old, let’s check in to see how Marte and Nimmo are doing. In [...]
If you like crisp baseball and you missed this game, consider yourself fortunate. In a game where not much was expected because the Mets were throwing Trevor Williams into an impossible situation, the Mets failed to reach even those modest goals, as they fell to the Diamondbacks, 5-2, Saturday night in Arizona. Williams didn’t get [...]
One of the things lost in the shuffle as the Mets have gotten off to a terrific start is the fact that they’re doing it with two of their expected five starting pitchers on the injured list. Jacob deGrom is out for the foreseeable future but Taijuan Walker should be activated within two weeks, if [...]

The Mets fell behind early and while they battled back nicely against a Giants’ bullpen that stymied them in two games on Tuesday, they could not complete the comeback, as they fell, 5-1 Wednesday night at Citi Field. Chris Bassitt started and gave up three runs before the Mets came to bat. He’d give up [...]
