DeGrom Just Keeps On Keepin’ On

Jacob deGrom pitched an absolute gem of a game on Sunday afternoon in Philly. It was his first career complete game in 68 MLB starts, featuring his best stuff (by far) since Game 1 of last year’s NLDS. If we’re going by his Game Score of 91, it was also one of the best Mets […]

MLB: Miami Marlins at New York Mets

Our Second-Half Predictions

We offered some #HotTakes back in April, some of which look prescient: David Wright will not start the Mets’ 2016 playoff games (he’s out for the season, if you’ve been under a rock) The 2016 team breaks the franchise record (200) for dingers (they’re 63% of the way there, having played 56% of their games) Addison […]

MLB: Chicago Cubs at New York Mets

Game recap July 1: Offensive drought? What offensive drought?

Coming off a much needed comeback win on Thursday, Jacob deGrom took the mound against Jason Hammel and the Cubs in the second game of a four-game set. The Cubs, dealing with some injury troubles of their own (Kyle Schwarber, Dexter Fowler and Jorge Soler are all on the DL) have come back to the pack a bit but remain the class […]

MLB: New York Mets at Atlanta Braves

Game recap June 25: Good thing that game ended…ever

What Happened, In a Sentence Kelly Johnson scored the only run of the game with a pinch-hit home run in the 11th inning. Starters Dominate Jacob deGrom may have walked to the pitcher’s mound last night thinking he had to be perfect to have a chance. Julio Teheran shut the Mets out last week and threw […]
