If before the season started you were told the 2024 Mets would be 12-8 at the 20-game mark, you might have been mildly surprised but it would have been believable. Yet, if you were told that they would start out 0-5 and play nothing but teams over .500 in this 20-game stretch, including three in [...]
Starling Marte cracked a three-run homer in the sixth inning to break up a 2-2 tie and send the Mets on their way to a 6-4 win over the Dodgers Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles. It was the Mets’ sixth consecutive win and gives the Mets the series win, with a chance to sweep on [...]

At the risk of killing the good vibes around the Mets’ ongoing offensive explosion, let’s take a moment to look back at last year’s deadline deals, where Max Scherzer was traded for Luisangel Acuna and Justin Verlander was dealt for Ryan Clifford and Drew Gilbert. Let’s break it down by what the players did in [...]
New uniform release day: A day when every New York Mets fan transforms into a Vogue fashion critic. In this season of never-ending uniform fiascos from the Nike and Fanatics duo, the Mets finally had their turn to release a City Connect jersey. The City Connect concept, which aims to connect the jersey to the [...]
Francisco Lindor broke up a 4-4 tie with a two-run homer, leading the Mets to a 9-4 win over the Dodgers Friday night in Los Angeles. It’s the fifth win in a row for the Mets and makes them 11-3 in their last 14 games. The Mets jumped out to a 4-0 lead against Yoshinobu [...]

All during the offseason, we heard management say that the 2024 Mets would be in contention for a Wild Card spot. With an offseason spent more focused on short-term deals and future flexibility, that talk seemed optimistic. Yet three weeks into the season, that’s essentially what’s been accomplished. While if the playoffs started today, the [...]
Before the 2024 season began, I think it is safe to say starting pitching was not expected to be a team strength for the New York Mets. The headline starters from the 2023 season, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, had been shipped elsewhere prior to the end of last season. No big-name starters were signed [...]
While looking for something else, stumbled across an article from last year entitled, “A look at the Mets’ starting pitching at the one-third part of the season.” And while Footballhead might appreciate that the article quoted Talking Heads, what stood out to me the most was this: Incredibly, a Mets starting pitcher has completed at [...]
There continues to be a debate over whether 29-year-old Pete Alonso should remain a member of the Mets, especially with his less than stellar start to the 2024 season. While he has ramped up his hitting game this last week, including a bunch of long balls that left him one HR off the MLB lead [...]
Starling Marte and Harrison Bader each hit two-run homers to power the Mets to a 9-1 win over the Pirates and a sweep of the three-game series. The Mets have now won four in a row, six of the last seven and 10 of their last 13. Once again, the Mets fell behind only to [...]
