Mets look for first series win of 2024
It’s no secret how much trouble the Mets have had hitting here early in the 2024 season. We hope that the team can turn it around sooner rather than later. But while waiting for positive regression to occur, we can think in more abstract thoughts about hitting in general. Ted Williams, thought of as one [...]
The Mets jumped out to a 5-2 lead but the bullpen allowed seven runs in three innings and they wound up 9-6 losers to the Reds Saturday afternoon in Cincinnati. Each year it seems like there’s one pitcher that the offense shows up for and in the early going here in 2024, it appears that [...]
Brian Yesterday at 3:51 pm Game 8 Brian Yesterday at 4:12 pm Glad to see Nimmo back in the lineup Metsense Yesterday at 4:14 pm Right down the middle Brian Yesterday at 4:16 pm clearly wasn't looking for the fastball. Not good but better than chasing a pitch out of the zone wow, good play [...]
The Mets have played seven games and after scoring three runs in last night’s win, they have scored 16 runs so far this season. That’s an average of 2.29 runs per game. Remarkably, that’s not the worst mark in the majors. The White Sox have only scored 13 runs, for an average of 1.86 runs [...]

Additionally, it was something just about no one was saying and even fewer were writing. Of course, even [...]
The Mets rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth for a 2-1 win and a split of their doubleheader with the Tigers Thursday afternoon. It was the first victory of the year for the Mets, who had dropped their first five games of the season. Pete Alonso led off the ninth inning [...]

The New York Mets are off to a sluggish start in 2024. They got swept in their first series vs the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend, and lost the first game of the current three game series to the Detroit Tigers on Monday, to start the year 0-4. Not a lot of things have gone [...]
Longtime readers will know my oft-stated distaste of the Mets’ organization’s preference for guys who were good on another team three or more years – but who now stink – over giving guys from their own organization a shot. And it’s true whether it was dumpster diving for starting pitchers or recycling old first basemen [...]
