Omar Narvaez picked a great time to post his first hit at Citi Field this year, as his RBI single in the bottom of the ninth capped a three-run inning and led to a 4-3 walk-off win against the Giants Sunday afternoon. The victory snapped a five-game losing streak for the Mets. Brandon Nimmo led [...]

We’ve arrived at a fairly standard juncture in a baseball season when fans and pundits opine on where the season is headed based on the results thus far. We’re roughly 30% into the 2024 campaign and, depending on your personal viewpoint, it’s either getting late early or we still need additional time to assess. The [...]
One of the things about baseball is you just never know what you might see. In my summer collegiate league game tonight, our starting pitcher hit six batters and gave up a homer in the first two innings. Pretty sure I’ve never seen that before. And I get home to find that the Mets hit [...]
