Spring Training is a week away from ending and few positions remain hanging in the balance. Will the Mets management allow the fans to force them into starting Pete Alonso’s clock early? Probably not. Who will make up the back end of the Mets bullpen? Which means that the Mets AAA roster is beginning to [...]
Please use this thread to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish.
One of the criticisms of the recent Mets was that they were too reliant on the HR ball for offense. Looking at Spring Training numbers, we see that they are tied for 16th with 26 HR. Your first thought may be that middle of the pack is a good place to be. It means they [...]
I don't know if today's game is being televised but I wanted to test the chat software out, regardless. This is what we used last year. Earlier, they told me that it was now a paid service but it let me create the room, if nothing else. So, let's see if it's still available...
There are many things that one could point to as what could make or break the New York Mets in 2019. The first, and always the first thing on everyone’s mind is health. It seems like a rare occasion now when the Mets can escape a season without becoming derailed due to injury. With that [...]
Over the years, Mets360 followers have labeled MattyMets here an eternal optimist. It's funny because that's not a label my close friends or family would ever use to describe me. I'm thoughtful, sensitive and moody, true to my astrological sign (pisces). In keeping with that theme, I'm also loyal to a fault. I've always stood [...]

The former pitching coach of the Cleveland Indians is one of only 49 career pitching coaches to become a manager; their overall success preceding him has not been great. It might be unfair to consider this [...]
With a few weeks of spring training to go, the Mets have slowly whittled down the roster in preparation for opening day. Injury questions will play a part, but who do you think will be the most surprising member of the opening day roster? My pick is Hector Santiago. The lefty has looked really sharp [...]
Many teams work to extend the contracts of their young budding stars before they peak so that they can pay for their best years below market rate. The players agree to it because it gives them more security than what a rookie contract and yearly arbitration provide. The Mets operate all too often not like [...]
The Mets' roster underwent an overhaul in the offseason, and that meant some familiar faces are now on other clubs, either via the trade or free agent process. Four key position players have ended up on teams that play their spring training games in the Cactus League, and those ex-Mets are doing well, with two [...]
Whether it’s simply a new season, his sleep apnea treatment or the competition of fighting off Pete Alonso, one cannot ignore the fact that Dominic Smith is relevant for the first time in what seems like a long time. As of this morning the first baseman is batting .423/.483/.577 during the 2019 spring training. That [...]
