Game Recap September 17: The Michael Conforto Show

That Michael Conforto swing. It’s almost impossible to watch the Mets’ left fielder hit and not acknowledge his impressive plate skills, even if he isn’t hitting. However, last night, he connected left and right (well mostly right) to power the Mets and Zack Wheeler to a convincing 9-4 victory over the collapsing Philadelphia Phillies. An […]

MLB: New York Mets at Los Angeles Dodgers

Game recap September 3: Brandon Nimmo saves the day

It was almost a cruel joke for Jacob deGrom against the Los Angeles Dodgers last night. One start removed from being the only offensive contributor in a game where he pitched eight innings of one-run, 10-strikeout ball, the should-be Cy Young and his orange and blue counterparts were back to their old ways. deGrom promptly surrendered […]

The normally filthy right-hand could not locate high in the zone – something he does normally – and was instead offering up very hittable pitches to immensely talented hitters. The Mets’ offense was […]

MLB: New York Mets at New York Yankees

Game recap August 14: Run support for deGrom again? Against the Yankees?

Another week, another deGrominant output. The Mets’ ace was at it again against a potent Bronx Bombers’ lineup. The struggling crosstown ace, Luis Severino, has not had even close to his best stuff recently – and last night was no different. Amed Rosario opened the game with his first career lead-off home run, followed by […]

MLB: Cincinnati Reds at New York Mets

Game recap August 6: I love Jeff McNeil and you should too

The New York Mets are a very interesting team to support. One day, you are furious – steaming mad – that Mickey Callaway is batting Jose Reyes over Jeff McNeil and Luis Guillorme. And then after a few losses, you’re saying, “well, I see some glimpses of hope here.” And that is exactly what last […]
