The Baltimore Orioles took a calculated gamble in claiming oft-injury outfielder Luis Robert Jr. off waivers from the New York Mets. With almost $5 million still remaining on his massive contract, the slugger was having a resurgent month of August. But then... there is always the injury bug waiting around the corner for Robert Jr., isn't there? That's where the gamble comes in. On Sunday, the O's lost that gamble, as they were forced to place Robert Jr. on the injured list with a hamstring inj...

This one, I am sure, you had fairly high confidence in the Cubs’ chances, what with Clay Holmes on the mound. Holmes had an ERA of 0.36 over his last four starts and had been solid all year between the Mets and Cubs rotations. Welp. Holmes not only had his worst start as a Cub, […]

Meet the Mets The Mets fell to the Giants 9-5, as San Francisco gave the Mets a taste of their own medicine that they issued the night before by socking six home runs against Mets pitching. Four of them were surrendered by Zac Thornton, who had his worst start as a big leaguer thus far […]
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (71 – 65) ROCHESTER 14, SYRACUSE 9 (BOX) Emilien Pitre’s first Triple-A home run – along with homers from Ronny Mauricio and MJ Melendez – were not enough to overcome a truly dreadful pitching performance from nearly every arm who got in the game tonight. Truly a waste of a lineup performance when all […]

Zac Thornton entered today’s game with a 2.93 ERA in 11 starts. It’s been quite the surprising season for the rookie lefty, who has managed those impressive topline numbers despite boasting less than flashy stuff and underlying peripherals. Alas, those topline numbers look a little bit worse after today’s game, as Thornton underwent his worst […]
By Jay Horwitz I will miss talking to my old friend Joe McDonald, who was the general manager of the Mets from 1975–1979. I started the next year with the team but we stayed in almost monthly contact through the years. Joe recently passed at 97. He would always check in with me to see how some of his players like Lee Mazzilli, Dough Flynn Craig Swan and Joe Torre were doing. Joe did interviews for me well into his 90’s. He was a great resource. Joe had great stories every time we spoke. What a...

Despite a disappointing MLB campaign, the New York Mets have found one of their pleasant surprises of the season in Nolan McLean.
It is clear that in Queens, it is a matter of shuffling the deck and dealing again. This season has left much to be desired; however, performances like Nolan McLean ’s give the New York Mets hope for a better future heading into what lies ahead.
