The weekend is over but the road trip continues. Just in case you missed it, forgivable with almost a week off for the All-Star break, the second half of the season kicked off with a wasted opportunity in St. Louis. The Mets dropped the first two games of a three-game set against the Major League-best [...]
The Mets salvaged the final game of the series against the Cardinals with a wacky 3-1 extra-innings win Sunday afternoon in a game that lasted nearly six hours and saw the Mets have 25 LOB, which tied a team record. One inning after being unable to cash with the bases loaded, the Mets again packed [...]
Across Major League Baseball, we have seen an influx of young talent come into the league. The Mets have showcased two impressive starters in Steven Matz and Noah Syndergaard, but have not had any major pieces added offensively. Dilson Herrera will have a promising future in the big leagues, but he only hit .195 in [...]
It’s no secret that the Mets need offense. One surprising area where the club has received an offensive contribution here lately is from Ruben Tejada. He’s reached base safely in 11 straight games and he has an .820 OPS in that span and has even hit a homer. Additionally, he’s the only one on the [...]
Well, Mets fans, we are again at a familiar All-Star break juncture. We've arrived at the crossroads of “the team has sort of been okay” and “will Sandy Alderson do anything to help the team at the deadline?” We've been here many times over the last half decade with this team. If we stick to [...]

The Mets started off things right in the second half, as Curtis Granderson hit a leadoff homer, but the offense struggled after that. The game would end 3-2 in favor of the Cardinals. Noah Syndergaard had electric stuff tonight, pitching seven innings, and allowing two runs. He struck out six, and finished the game with [...]
Following a tumultuous first half of winning and losing streaks, injuries and debuts, pitching highs and batting lows, a suspension, a career-threatening condition and a flurry of trade rumors, four days of rest for all but All-Star pitcher Jacob deGrom was a welcome respite for this Mets team. And now it’s time to come out [...]
In an interview with the New York Daily News, soon-to-be-inducted Baseball Hall of Famer John Smoltz had some high praise for the Mets' young pitching quintet of Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz and Jacob deGrom. "They're way better," Smoltz told Daniel Popper. "They've got more talent than we could ever have." The [...]
