Carson Benge has shown signs of improvement at the plate

Arbitrary endpoints in baseball are fun. If you want to make the case for something, it’s usually not hard to do it if you get to pick the start and end dates, which is exactly what’s about to happen here. Since April 23, Carson Benge has hitting much better than he had from Opening Day […]

Mets Morning News: Snow delay

Mets Player Performance Meter: Pitchers, April 20-May 3

Though the Mets have not been bitten nearly as severely by the injury bug on the pitching side of things, they have struggled to find answers outside of the top 3 in their rotation. Clay Holmes has dazzled and Freddy Peralta and Nolan McLean have been mostly solid, but all of Kodai Senga, David Peterson, […]

The Mets opened their series against the Rockies with a 4-2 win, scoring all four of their runs in top of the sixth inning and allowing Colorado’s only two runs in the bottom of the seventh.

Mets Player Performance Meter: Position players, April 20-May 3

Is this week’s meter an improvement on The Worst Position Player Meter of All Time from two weeks ago? I suppose, in some ways, yes. Juan Soto is back and he is one of multiple green arrows this week. That said, even though the Mets’ offense is beginning to show signs of life from time […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 5/4/26: More Morabito

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (18-14) SYRACUSE 5, LEHIGH VALLEY 0 (BOX) A thorough smackdown of the IronPigs in Syracuse last night. Nick Morabito raised his OPS to .852, while Cristian Pache went deep for the third time this year and now has an .856 OPS himself. The rehabbing A.J. Minter tossed a scoreless inning with a strikeout, and […]

Meet the Mets After coming back from a 3-1 deficit, the Mets fell to the Angels 4-3 in extra innings in Anaheim. Nolan McLean had the shortest start of his big league career so far and double plays doomed the Mets, as they wasted numerous chances and failed to come through late in the clutch […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 5/3/26: Austin arrives

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (17-14) LEHIGH VALLEY 9, SYRACUSE 6 (BOX) Not a great game here.

The bullpen then blew it in the late innings, giving up seven runs from the seventh and onwards. Ryan Lambert was […]
