If pitching is your thing, then seven-and-a-half out of nine innings were pure delight for you. Adam Wainwright squared off against Zack Wheeler and they matched each other pitch-for-pitch, until they didn't. Wainwright started shakily, walking leadoff man Michael Conforto on five pitches and hitting Asdrubal Cabrera on the shin, but the Mets couldn't cash [...]
Some people might be prone to ask the question, “Who is Hansel Moreno?” The Mets drafted him back in 2014 and his first three years with the organization did not occur stateside.

Stop me if you've heard this before but the Mets had a chance to complete a sweep on Sunday but came out on the wrong end of a 13-4 blowout against the Rockies. The Mets have not had a home sweep all season. Steven Matz came out and for the second straight game he got [...]

Following a rocky first inning, Jacob deGrom settled down to pitch eight dominant innings, allowing just one earned run on four hits, while striking out 11. He also contributed two hits [...]
Fresh off a four-day break for the All-Star Game festivities, the dog days are about to begin for the Mets. The schedule has them playing every day for the rest of the month, without a day off until Monday, July 31. Now seems as good a time as any to reconsider the makeup of this [...]
