One of the many challenges facing front offices, managers and fans alike is how to balance what’s happened overall versus what’s happened recently and which to put more weight on when evaluating things. Sometimes there’s a reason why things have happened differently in a select span versus how they’ve been overall. For example, we know [...]
Jose Quintana pitched seven shutout innings. Normally, that would be the lede to a game-winner for the Mets. But as good as Quintana pitched, the Mets’ offense was equally bad. They were one-hit in the game and the result was a 1-0 loss to the Nationals Thursday morning/afternoon in D.C. After taking the first two [...]

Edwin Diaz has been the Mets closer since 2019. So far in his Mets tenure, he’s had some very high moments and some low moments too, saving games. What I’ve seen from Diaz’s impact with the Mets overall as closer, is that I believe that he makes his team go. Especially over the last three [...]
Okay, was I the only one who thought if we take this game we take the series? Or that we all knew Christian Scott would throw a good game? Probably not. Scott threw 5 2/3 innings, giving up six hits, four earned runs, two walks and two K, with 99 pitches, 65 of which he [...]

After a very slow start to the season for Triple-A Syracuse -- a start that has his overall numbers looking not so great -- Acuña has been on fire. He turned it on in May, and is coming off a June where he was tremendous. In 24 games last month, Acuña hit .298/.348/.413. Source: Danny [...]
For the third straight day, the Mets played an extra-inning game. For the third straight day, the visitors put up a big crooked number to win. And for the second day in a row it was the Mets, who scored five runs and emerged with a 7-2 win over the Nationals. The victory upped their [...]

There are 53 players aged 24 or younger who have at least 100 PA in the majors. In terms of OPS, two of the top three are Mets. Francisco Alvarez is third with a .900 OPS while Mark Vientos is second with a .941 mark. A year ago, whenever someone mentioned the younger guys who [...]
The Mets scored six runs in the top of the 10th inning and it still wasn’t enough for stress-free bottom of the inning. It was, however, enough for the Mets to hold on and claim a 9-7 win in the opener of a four-game series in Washington Monday night. It didn’t look like the game [...]
