Quietly sitting in the top 10 among the Mets 2019 WAR ranking is Dominic Smith, who sports a 0.8 bWAR (good for seventh on the team). Smith, who has only started six games this season, is victim to the heroic performance of Pete Alonso, his first base counterpart who has earned playing time himself. However [...]
Mets' General Manager Brodie van Waganen's vision came through. The Mets beat the Dodgers with a combination of great starting pitching, small-ball, power and a non-imploding bullpen. Just like he drew it up. Both starting pitchers -- Steven Matz for the Mets and Rich Hill for Los Angeles -- spent the first two innings feeling [...]
No, the title does not mean Mickey Callaway suffered an injury like the one that has sidelined Jeff McNeil, instead it means the other dictionary definition, “severely restricted efficiency and effectiveness.” Specifically has Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen been pulling too many strings behind the scenes concerning day to day actions on the field?

The Mets lost the first game of a four game series against the Dodgers in a matchup that was meant to be low scoring with two Cy Young caliber aces on the mound. Jacob deGrom matched up against Clayton Kershaw, with both pitchers battling at times. The Mets got on the board early and did [...]

We’ve seen some over-the-hill guys and balsa-wood bats go deep and while it’s been incredibly fun to watch, it’s also made some folks lose all perspective and make some crazy comments. The same people who were cheering because the Mets were supposedly making contact [...]
The short-handed Mets pulled off a resourceful extra-inning win over the Tigers thanks to Wilson Ramos' bat, a rag tag bullpen and a walk-off home run by an unlikely hero. Jason Vargas returned from the I.L. to make the start and delivered with five strong innings. The veteran lefty scattered five hits and three walks [...]
