The struggling Atlanta Braves (51-35) won for just the third time in 11 games on Friday night and can clinch their holiday weekend series with the scuffling New York Mets (36-52) with a win at Truist Park on Saturday night.…
By Jay Horwitz I have experienced some pretty crazy nights my 47-year career with the Mets, but none crazier than what happened 41 years ago on July 4, 1985. I thought it would be a good time to revisit because we are a Atlanta again this holiday weekend. The contest in 1985 took place at the old Fulton County Stadium and we outlasted the Bravos, 16–13 in 19 innings. Some notes: Officially game time was 6:10 but you have to add in two hours of rain delays. Dwight Gooden started and only pithed...
With Ha-Seong Kim hitting the IL, Jorge Mateo gets the start at shortstop over Jim Jarvis, facing the lefty Manaea. Elsewhere, Joey Bart starts at catcher, with Baldwin DHing and batting second. Austin Riley bats fifth, ahead of Michael Harris for reasons that are clearly more about mixing lefties and righties than recent production. They […]

The New York Mets have a real problem to worry about beyond Juan Soto's relationship with Francisco Lindor.
The Braves are exiting a June that was absolutely miserable, but they finally hit a handful of homers on Friday night, hosting the Mets. They’ve got another favorable matchup here, with Chris Sale on the mound and facing the imminently hittable Sean Manaea for New York. We’ve got a national TV matchup on the 250th […]
By Jay Horwitz No one played the game harder than Ron Hunt our first All-Star. He would do anything to help win a game. He played for the Mets from 1963–1966 and wound up getting hit by a pitch 243 times in his 12-year MLB career. In that All-Star year in 1964, he hit .303 and was the starting second baseman in the Mid-Season Classic which was played at Shea Stadium. Now Ron needs our prayers. He is in hospice in St. Louis suffering from multiple illnesses. I had the honor and privilege to mee...
Meet the Mets A two-run homer from Juan Soto was close to the only moment of joy for the Mets last night, as they fell to the Braves 5-3 in the series opener in Atlanta. Christian Scott took the loss after giving up three runs on two homers in four innings of work, and A.J. […]

The New York Mets have been one of the biggest disappointments in MLB this season, but perhaps there is finally a small reason for optimism. After entering 2026 with legitimate World Series expectations, the Mets have instead found themselves buried…
If there’s one thing that has left fans enraged over the last week or so, it is the controversial umpire calls. First, it was Chad Whitson’s hit-by-pitch call involving Lourdes Gurriel Jr., and then it was Nic Lentz ejecting Willson Contreras. This time, the spotlight shifted to Friday night’s clash between the Mets and the […]

On the eve of our Nation’s 250th birthday the Mets offered another dud of a ballgame losing by a score of 5-3 to open a new series in Atlanta. This nation was founded 250 years ago with these words, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are […]
New York Mets star Juan Soto says he has had "no issues" with Francisco Lindor despite club owner Steve Cohen seemingly confirming a clash between the teammates last season.
It’s time the Atlanta Braves turn things around to work in their favor before the All-Star break hits…what better way to do it than against their division rivals that are ranked last in the Division? Don’t count the New York Mets out…they took the first series win and are scheduled to face this team a […]

The Atlanta Braves are using this four-game series as the turning point from their June hitting woes, right? Let’s look at this lineup. The lineup is almost identical to Thursday’s quiet finale. So, the question is, what are we hoping to accomplish with the same look after a disappointing ending to the previous game? If […]

Pitchers Joe Ross and Chris Paddack and outfielder Jarred Kelenic, all of whom were designated for assignment several days ago, have all cleared waivers and become free agents. Paddack was signed on June 29 for a one shot deal, pitching as the bulk guy behind opener Tyler Alexander on June 29 in Cleveland and then […]
The New York Mets have been nothing short of a disaster this season. They were busy over the winter, but the lackluster roster has fallen apart and led them to a 36-51 start. In the midst of their struggles, they fired manager Carlos Mendoza.By now, it appears highly likely that the Mets will be sellers […]

When the New York Mets traded for Freddy Peralta this offseason, they likely didn’t think he would be the subject of trade rumors once again halfway through the 2026 season, but the Mets campaign hasn’t been great, and considering New York hasn’t inked Peralta to a longterm deal, it makes a lot of sense to […]

With the playoffs expanded to six teams, it’s not surprising for the final spot to go to a team near .500. Just last year, the Cincinnati Reds won a tiebreaker over the New York Mets to grab the final spot at 83-79. In the good old days (before 2022), the San Diego Padres would have […]
