The most interesting players to me are the ones where reasonable people can look at and see things in a completely different way. At various part of their careers, ChrisF and I have been on opposite sides of things when discussing Lucas Duda, Juan Lagares, Brandon Nimmo, Alex Torres and Zack Wheeler, among others. And [...]
Up until this point, Citi Field has played as an extreme pitcher’s park, which is making the pitchers look much better than they are in reality. Mets’ pitchers have a 2.89 ERA in their home park, compared to a 5.31 ERA on the road. Knowing this, let’s take a look at how the pitchers have [...]
It’s tough to hit three homers in a game and lose. It’s especially tough to do it in back-to-back games. But that’s the type of luck the Mets have these days, as they lost to the Guardians, 6-3. The loss means the Mets got swept and leaves the team licking its wounds after a 2-6 [...]
Please use this thread all week to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish. Please use this space instead of going off topic on the most-recent thread.
Sometimes the gods throw you a bone. On the night that my daughter had her Senior Awards Ceremony, the Mets for some inexplicable reason gave Adrian Houser another start. Houser proceeded to give up 6 ER in 5 IP and I didn’t have to watch. Yay me! Sorry for those of you who saw the [...]

Earlier in the year, the Mets had a thing going where they consistently scored runs in the last few innings. Alas, it’s just a distant memory now. Tonight, the last 10 Mets went down in order and the result was a 3-1 loss to the Guardians in Cleveland. This game marked the return of Tylor [...]
Use your name and not multiple aliases
On Monday morning, the Mets announced the promotion of two-way player Nolan McLean to Double-A Binghamton after a strong start to the season with the Brooklyn Cyclones. Rated as the No. 11 prospect in the Mets system by Baseball America, McLean was the Mets 3rd round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft out of Oklahoma [...]
Right now, everyone is fretting about Edwin Diaz because he’s been, well, terrible. And a whole lot of people are coming up with reasons for why he’s been this bad. Yet no one is going for the low-hanging fruit that relievers tend to bunch their bad games together. Every season, the overwhelming number of relievers [...]
