A last-minute sub-in of Rafael Montero for Jacob deGrom Thursday night promised a spotty start for the Mets, but in the end it was the bats that couldn’t get the job done, going 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position, and eventually giving up the series to the last-place Padres. Collins has been tight-lipped about the […]

Game Recap May 25: The Tears, They Fall Like Rain
Mets News On Wednesday night, the news that late waiver-bait acquisition Tommy Milone hit the “it’s literally a 10-day” disabled list signaled that preseason number-eight starter Rafael Montero would likely start Saturday’s game at Pittsburgh. That Montero would pitch on the road had nothing to do with the purported “hostile environment” which led the Mets to start […]
Game Recap May 24: Great Odin’s Raven
Baseball is supposed to be fun. Baseball is supposed to be an escape from the real world. Baseball is supposed to make you think, feel, laugh, and get excited about things that don’t matter at all. It’s supposed to give you something to look forward to on a Wednesday night in May. Baseball is supposed to […]
Game recap May 23: Even Matt Harvey can’t blow this
Mets 9, Padres 3 Coming into Tuesday night’s contest, the Mets were a healthy 7.5 games behind the Nationals, and 2-8 over their last ten games. It’s the kind of free fall that means nothing is on the line night to night, and yet the gap isn’t so insurmountable that a late-season surge is out of […]

Padres Series Preview May 23-25
The Mets and their major league-worst 5.14 ERA welcome the last-place Padres to town for a three-game set that pits baseball’s lowest-ranked offense in terms of batting average and on-base percentage against a patchwork pitching staff that’s spent more time on the trainer’s table than on the mound. New York will look to win consecutive […]
Game recap May 21: Over before it ever began
WHO WON: The red and haloed not-Mets WHAT HAPPENED, THE TOMMY MILONE EXPERIENCE: Look, you can say a lot about what happened while Tommy Milone was on the mound in this one. None of them good. The best way I can describe Milone’s performance is how he faced Jefry Marte. Marte came into this one […]
Game recap May 20: No sweat
Terry Collins became the Mets’ all-time leader in games managed last night, and the Mets celebrated as only they could: putting five straight Angels on base in the ninth inning to face Mike Trout. I fully expected another bullpen implosion, but Trout only hit a sacrifice fly and the Mets were able to escape 7-5. […]
Game recap May 19: Home sweet home
Primer Oh boy have the Mets been bad. After finally climbing the hill back to .500, the Mets dropped seven straight to fall 8.5 games back in the division. Matt Harvey has been awful, Robert Gsellman looks like he’s pitching hurt, and Tommy Milone has been underwhelming. The only two bright spots in the rotation, […]
For All You Kids Out There, Episode 54: “I don’t even care if they cancel the Mets / That’s wild”
In Episode 54 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett have another disappointing week of Mets baseball to cover. This is nominally a Mets podcast though, so while there is a whole bunch of Phillies prospect talk again, we do find time to discuss Jeurys Familia’s injury, other Mets bullpen woes, the […]
