We know that the Mets try to maximize the number of PA that Jerry Blevins gets against lefty batters. In Wednesday's game, the Mets brought Hansel Robles in with the bases loaded. He gave up a HR and a BB before getting the third out of the inning. He came out to start the following [...]
It is the first month of baseball, and the season is already in full swing. While the typical saying goes “April showers bring May flowers”, the Mets need to put a personal spin on it. The importance of winning early in the season is an annual topic of conversation. This season more than ever, it [...]
The Mets' five-game win streak came to an end Friday night, as the Marlins scored a run in the bottom of the ninth to earn a 3-2 win. It was the first one-run loss of the year for New York. The Mets were hoping that Noah Syndergaard would go deep in the game to give [...]
Entering this current series, the Mets hold an edge over the Marlins, with an all-time record of 209-189.

He will unfortunately be charged with three earned runs after leaving in the bottom of the sixth with two outs. [...]
Noah Syndergaard has gotten off to a brilliant start this year, having yielded only one earned run in his two starts, which translates to 0.69 ERA. He also has 16 strikeouts and zero walks so far. He's not going to keep up this pace, but, barring injury, the young fireballer does seem destined for a [...]
