Exploring the start for Justin Crawford

Coming into the season, one of the more polarizing prospects that was supposed to make his debut was Justin Crawford.

Bats helpless once again as Mets get swept by Athletics

Yesterday’s loss—the Mets’ fourth in a row—sucked. No doubt about it. But we could at least comfort ourselves with the knowledge that the bats momentarily came alive, hitting three homers after falling behind early in the game. “Maybe,” we told ourselves with all the optimism that April carries, “this will be the turning point for […]

Meet the Mets Folks, the vibes: they are bad.

Former A’s infielder Max Schuemann happy to be with RailRiders

Max Schuemann is the answer to a baseball trivia question: “Who fielded the last out for the Athletics in their final game at the Oakland Coliseum?” It was September 26, 2024 and the batter was Travis Jankowski of the Texas Rangers. “I was playing third base, kind of shifted over playing short,” Schuemann said. “The […]
