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 […]

Game recap August 11: O captain!
THE GOOD The Mets lost to a team below them in the standings? The further they can drop the better, as a couple of wins are seemingly meaningless with the team already out of playoff possibilities. David Wright is going out on a rehab assignment! In what’s practically been an entirely lost season for the […]
Game recap August 10: Wheelin’ and Dealin’
When the Mets traded Carlos Beltran and his expiring contract to San Francisco in July 2011, they envisioned the Single-A pitcher they brought back in return, Zack Wheeler, becoming a staple in their starting five and a dominating force in their rotation for years to come. It has taken roughly seven years, but the Mets’ […]
Game recap August 8: Sweet, sweet victory
It had been 51 days. 51 long, arduous, painful days since Jacob deGrom had last won a start. On June 18, Jacob deGrom delivered eight innings of one-run ball against the Rockies in Coors Field — which, by the way, was living up to its reputation in that series — and won his fifth game […]
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 […]
Game recap August 3: Groundhog’s Day
How Jacob deGrom has managed to keep a remotely upbeat attitude over these past few months is nothing short of astonishing. Friday night’s game against Atlanta represented the Mets’ latest chance to play spoiler in a division race that they themselves have long been out of, and despite yet another gem from their ace, New York […]
Game recap July 29: Zack Wheeler, miracle man
Primer Yup, we’re still here, for whatever reason. Zack Wheeler took the mound against Joe Musgrove mere hours after Jacob deGrom got screwed out of yet another win. Austin Jackson was getting the start in FF because the recently resurgent Michael Conforto has a sore thumb, leaving us less than optimistic for a better offensive […]
Game recap July 28: A man with many talents
It’s incredibly difficult to reach and succeed as a hitter in the big leagues. It’s also incredibly difficult to reach and succeed as a pitcher in the big leagues. That’s why you rarely, if ever, see a two-way player in baseball anymore (Shohei Ohtani is the exception). It’s not surprising that Jacob deGrom – who’s […]
Amed Rosario is quietly blossoming
It could be that some pressure was lifted once the Mets fell out of a postseason race, it could be that his mental health break a few weeks ago has worked, or it could just be that he’s gotten more comfortable in the Major Leagues. But one thing has been evident over the past couple […]
Game recap July 25: They’re not the worst!
The Mets beat the Padres by a score of 6-4 yesterday afternoon, capping off their first series win since May, which fittingly came against the only team in the National League with a worse record than them. By taking the series, the Mets kept themselves out of the bottom of the league standings, and actually opened up […]
