Another quiet night for Mets offense dooms them to 2-1 loss

Thus far in May, the Mets have done a much better job putting some wins on the board than they did in April. Despite that, it’s not as though all the problems we saw last month have magically gone away. Most notably, the offense continues to be a struggle on a fairly regular basis. In […]

Can MJ Melendez keep it up?

MJ Melendez was thrust into a challenging situation last month. The struggling New York Mets faced the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road, amid what would become a 12-game losing streak. Seeking a spark, Melendez was plugged into the lineup and laced two doubles and notched an RBI against Shohei Ohtani. Though the Mets lost […]

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (20-16) ROCHESTER 7, SYRACUSE 5 (BOX) Syracuse got out to a 3-0 lead as Jonah Tong spun five scoreless innings to begin his outing, but a five-run sixth inning for Rochester saw the visitors get two runs against Tong and three against reliever Carlos Guzman.

Mets Morning News: Another win for the May Mets

Meet the Mets As they’ve done many times this season, the Mets’ offense didn’t show up for McLean last night, resulting in the team going into extra innings in the first game of the series against the Diamondbacks. But while we’ve seen the Amazins subsequently flame out in extras numerous times this season, last night […]

Mets have reportedly talked to teams about Freddy Peralta

The Mets have talked to several teams about trading Freddy Peralta, per a report from Bruce Levine of The Score Chicago, who adds that the team sees June 1 as a target date for either getting back in the playoff race or moving Peralta. Levine followed that up by clarifying that the Cubs, who he […]

The Mets attempt to charm the Diamondbacks in Phoenix

The New York Mets (14-23) travel to the desert to face the Arizona Diamondbacks (17-19) in a three-game series. While the Mets have won their last two series against bad teams, they still co-own the worst record in baseball and have a lot more work to do before convincing fans that they’re a serious baseball […]

Bullpen blows Mets’ chance at a sweep in Colorado

With a lineup that more suited for a spring training game than a May 7th game, the Mets snapped their three-game winning streak with a 6-2 loss to the Rockies at Coors Field. This was the makeup from a snowed out game on Tuesday, another anachronism for early May. The game began with both the […]

Ten years ago, the impossible happened

I can still remember exactly where I was when Bartolo Colon hit his first career home run, ten years ago today, May 7, 2016. I was throwing away a poopy diaper. My son was three months old, and after feeding him, my wife handed him off to me for some dad time while she rested. […]

Mets Morning News: Snow problem! Mets rock Rockies in Denver

Meet the Mets The offense showed up in a big way in the Mets’ 10-5 win over the Rockies. Marcus Semien led the offensive charge with a four-hit night that included a home run. Juan Soto also went deep leading off the game to set the tone early on. The pitching struggled a bit, but […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 5/7/26: Jack Wenninger, resume builder

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (19-15) SYRACUSE 3, ROCHESTER 1 (BOX) A rather ho-hum win, the Mets scored a run in each of the first three innings to put them out in front quickly. Ryan Clifford hit a monster of a solo home run in the first, registering at 112.6 mph and 404 ft., Hayden Senger doubled […]

Mets hit early and often in third win in a row

The Mets did not let the absurdly cold conditions impede them tonight during their 10-5 win against the Rockies. Freddy Peralta and Michael Lorenzen faced off for the second time in two weeks but, unlike their first meeting, this time the Mets’ bats were wide awake. Juan Soto started things off quickly with his first career […]

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

Meet the Mets Carl Edwards Jr. has elected free agency following his designation for assignment by the Mets. ESPN handed out grades to every team to start the season, and the Mets did about as poorly as one would expect. Last night’s game was postponed to tomorrow, and today’s game has been moved back to […]
