Tonight’s All-Star game should be a treat. Mike Trout is every bit as good as the stars from the 1950s and 1960s who are recognized as the greats of the game. Jacob deGrom has put up a better first half than Tom Seaver in 1969 or 1971 or Dwight Gooden in 1985. We’ll get to [...]
With the regular season in the annual All-Star hiatus, it might be interesting to look at the one Met who has a shot at a major award this year. That would be Jacob deGrom. a strong candidate for the Cy Young Award if he keeps up his production for the rest of the season. We [...]
We’ve been writing about Nabil Crismatt on Mets360 for a few years now. The relatively unknown pitcher from Barranquilla, Columbia wasn’t a big money guy from the international leagues or a top draft pick from the amateur draft. Instead, Crismatt simply came up through the Met system on the merits of his results alone. We [...]
We've reached the All-Star break, the time where we hope a bunch of days off will heal the bullpen and everything else that ails the team. Assuming no trades over the break - which may not be a safe assumption with Sandy Alderson no longer running the show - the fifth game back is likely [...]
On a day where the New York Mets had their first opportunity to win a series since what seems like forever, they fell to the Washington Nationals 6-1. Corey Oswalt took to the mound for the Mets today, and for a second straight start, showed that he has been improving over the course of the [...]

Zack Wheeler pitched into the eighth inning and the Mets put up a crooked number on the scoreboard in two different innings, leading the Mets to a 7-4 victory over the Nationals Saturday afternoon. Wheeler was great for seven innings but got hit for three runs in the eighth. So, his final line doesn't show [...]
A .168 average, with 21 hits, 4 RBIs, and a home run. If you looked at those stats, you’d probably say to yourself, “Wow! That pitcher had a pretty great year at the plate!” Take a deeper look, and you soon realize that these aren’t the offensive statistics of a pitcher. They are in fact [...]
Noah Syndergaard returned to action with a flourish, pitching and hitting the Mets to a 4-2 victory over the Nationals Friday night. Syndergaard scattered seven hits over five innings and allowed just one run. He also delivered an RBI single that gave the Mets a 4-0 lead. The Mets gave Syndergaard an early lead, as [...]
