Ah, Coors Field. The first play of Monday night’s game indicative of what was to come when Brandon Nimmo, who grew up two hours from Coors, continued his scorching hot play as he opened up the Rockies series with an inside-the-park home run. The hitting To no surprise, the hustling Nimmo was home to home in […]

Game recap June 17: Streakin’
WHO WON: The Sunday Mets, of course! WHAT HAPPENED, BRANDON NIMMO SAVES THE DAY EDITION: Approaching their final out on Sunday, the Mets had found themselves with their asses in the jackpot once more. Having spent 96 percent of their outs with nothing more than one run to show for it, the Mets were nearing […]
Game recap June 15: Things keep going from worse to worse
The Mets collective asses remain in the jackpot. As astonishingly terrible as things have been going for the Mets, what is equally shocking is just how long their complete offensive inadequacy has gone on. We’ve been watching this story for about six weeks now, and this team is just entirely incapable of getting out of […]
Game recap June 14: Scripted
Diamondbacks 6, Mets 3, Final It seemed like the same old story was unfolding at Chase Field: a decent outing by a starting pitcher, anemic offense and an imploding bullpen would converge for a desultory loss by the Mets in Arizona. And other than a late rally and generally close game, things otherwise followed the […]
Game Recap June 13: At least it was quick
We all know the saying about the certainties in life: death, taxes, yada yada yada. But the truth is, there are hundreds of other things that may not be literal certainties by the true definition of the word, but we take them as certainties every single day, because they’re as close to certain as they come. When we […]
Game recap June 12: Mickey Callaway goes home
Primer Another trip to Atlanta, what could possibly go wrong? Zack Wheeler and the anemic Met offense squared off against Mike Foltynewicz and the best offense in the National League to start a two-game set. Game Recap Both starters worked around a first inning baserunner to settle into an early groove. Foltynewicz hit Michael Conforto […]
Game recap June 10: Changes
WHO WON: The……Mets? WHAT HAPPENED, THE TODD FATHER: It’s tough to say Luis Severino did not have his best stuff on Sunday. Sure he didn’t throw a clean inning, but that might be more of a credit to a Mets lineup that seemed to barely pester the Yankee’s ace. Whether it was Brandon Nimmo and […]
Game recap June 9: Rinse and repeat
YANKEES 4, METS 3 If Mickey Callaway thought a lineup change would do the trick, it’s safe to assume he’s already back to the drawing board, pondering any possibility imaginable to spark this anemic Met offense. The Mets dropped the second game of the Subway Series, their eighth straight, all of which have come at […]
Game recap June 8: Wasted
I’d say the Mets’ offensive ineptitude is getting ridiculous, but that narrative is beyond redundant. On Friday night, New York dropped their series opener with the Yankees 4-1, making them losers of all seven games on their current home stand. In those seven contests, the Mets have scored eight runs. EIGHT. They’ve scored three times […]
Game recap June 1: Under .500, under the bus
Primer The Mets looked to stay above .500 with Zack Wheeler on the mound against the Cubs, while Tyler Chatwood, owner of an 8.38 BB/9 and a K/BB below one (and, somehow a 4.10 ERA), took the mound for Chicago. Most importantly, Brandon Nimmo was still in the lineup, leading off with Jose Bautista on […]
