This was a night of getting just what was needed. Terry Collins needed to give the bullpen a rest, so Bartolo Colon gave the Mets seven innings of five-hit ball. Needing to get off to a fast start, the Mets put up three quick runs in the first inning. And finally, when some insurance was [...]
The Mets may currently be the best all-around team in baseball. The team’s young pitching is through the roof, despite a bad start from Jacob deGrom in his last outing, and the offense has clearly and drastically picked up since the trade deadline. In the last week alone, the Mets have scored a total of [...]
In a tiny corner of my tiny brain, there’s a conspiracy section that looks for connections where there are none. And that section is convinced that the Mets and Topps photographers were in cahoots to try to convince us that John Milner was a hitter. No, not a hitter in the way that Felix Millan [...]
Tempers flared like the rivalry of old and Michael Cuddyer was the hero du jour as the Mets came from behind to beat the Philadelphia Phillies, their fifth straight victory. Noah Syndergaard started, looking for his first major league road win. The game's first two hitters staked him to an early 2-0 lead. Curtis Granderson [...]
"Well, the New York Mets or Washington Nationals are going to win the NL East and neither is a very good team. They're not as good as the Cardinals, Pirates or Cubs; they're probably on par with the Arizona Diamondbacks and maybe not even as good as the Milwaukee Brewers, who have a .426 winning [...]
Last night the New York Mets did something historic. As a team they hit 15 extra-base hits, and eight home runs, led by none other than David Wright. In his first at-bat four months removed from the game of baseball, he crushed a pitch into the second deck in Citizens Bank Park. Wright's power display [...]
There must have been something in the cookies David Wright made for the Mets last night, as the team hit eight long balls tonight, and outslugged the Phillies to a victory. The Mets set team records for most extra base hits and home runs in a game. The Captain came back tonight and hit an [...]
In their last 50 games, the Mets are 31-19, for a .620 winning percentage. If they were to play at that pace over an entire season, at the end of the year they’d have 100 wins. Their record is more than supported by their run totals, as they’ve scored 218 and allowed just 160 in [...]
Back in 2014, the Mets selected Eudor Garcia in the fourth round of the draft. Garcia profiled as a first round talent but had flaws that held him from being drafted earlier. Garcia’s biggest flaw is that he’s 5’11” and 225 Lbs. He’s not a lithe and graceful infielder nor is he a giant powerful [...]
