Preseason predictions largely estimated the New York Mets would be a near .500 ball club. A little better if the pitching staff performed slightly better than a median forecast, but also a little worse if the rotation performed a bit more poorly. The Mets are currently 14-13 and performing about as expected. The Mets Pythagorean [...]
Mark Vientos hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 11th to send the Mets to a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. The win salvaged the final game of the series and kept the Mets over .500, as their record stands at 14-13. The Mets trailed by [...]
One of the pleasant surprises of the 2024 season so far has been the play of Tyrone Taylor. When the Mets acquired him from the Brewers, the thought was that he was a strong fourth outfielder, one who could play all three outfield positions and be above-average defensively. Additionally, while a RHB, he did not [...]
After a poor outing Friday night by Jose Butto, where he allowed 4 ER in 5.2 IP, Adrian Houser had a golden chance to prove he belongs in the rotation when the injured starters returned. Instead, he was worse than Butto and was the main reason the Mets fell to the Cardinals, 6-4, Saturday afternoon [...]

Note: All stats in this article include games through the Mets’ April 24th, 2024 game against the Giants. It would be an understatement to call the start of the Mets’ 2024 season uneven and unexpected, and perhaps no other aspect of their overarching team performance illustrates that better than what’s been going on with their [...]
The Mets got a bunch of baserunners but were unable to come up with the big hit, as they fell to the Cardinals, 4-2, in the opener of a three-game set at Citi Field Friday night. St. Louis came in as one of the worst HR-hitting teams in the majors but jumped out to a [...]

Everything with Brett Baty is a small sample. But coming into this season, one of my beliefs was that the Mets needed to be less reliant on “small sample!” and instead look to pull the plug sooner on guys who didn’t get the job done. My hope is that no one on the club would [...]
A year ago, the Mets were expecting a 95+ win season and came home from a 10-game West Coast trip that they went 7-3 on to bring their record to 14-9 for the year. The team wasn’t playing all that well but the success out west, combined with the hope that the veteran pitchers would [...]
It's been a bit of a roller coaster ride here for the Mets in 2024. We had the 0-5 start, followed by winning 12 of the next 15 and then dropping three straight while scoring just three runs in 27 innings. And all of this happened while playing teams over .500 in the first 21 [...]
