Manager Mickey Callaway has had his share of problems to deal with during his tenure with the Mets, but one of these problems is one that most managers would not mind having. Specifically he has to find playing time for two very good first sackers on the roster, right-handed slugger Pete Alonso and left-handed batter [...]
Steven Matz pitched six strong innings, Pete Alonso drove in two runs and Jeff McNeil hit his first home run of the year to lead the Mets to a 5-1 victory over the Phillies in the first of a three-game set at Citi Field Monday night. After getting lit up in his last start against [...]

Everything's going to be OK!" Of course, Jake is not back, having gone on [...]
Chris Flexen supposedly lost 30 pounds. Mets hope that will allow him to pitch better.
Yes, it certainly feels like we are watching the New York Mets play baseball again. The team that started off 5-1 is now straggling along at 11-8, fighting to keep tight with their competitors in the NL East.
