Latest news and updates about the Mets
Since the Cubs took two of three from the Phillies last week in Philadelphia, the Cubs swept the Mets and outscored them 18-7, and the Phillies got swept at home by the Braves, outscored 16-3. The Phillies’ flight to Chicago got in after 1 a.m. today after their loss to the Braves Sunday night. So […]
As another former Mets’ skipper, Yogi Berra, once famously opined: “It’s getting late early”. Fair or not, the writing is on the wall for current Mets’ manager Carlos Mendoza: His time with the club is approaching its end. It felt somewhat inevitable with last year’s collapse, and it appears all but etched in stone as […]
The Cubs had an excellent week after dropping the first game of their series in Philadelphia. Following that loss, they reeled off five straight wins over the Phillies and Mets and outscored those teams 39-13 in the five games. So they got excellent pitching and lots of hitting, too. Here’s who was hot and not […]
MONDAY The Mets were shut out for the fourth time in just 17 games this season. It’s only the second time in franchise history they’ve suffered four shutout losses in their first 17 games, having done so back in 1963. The Mets were shut out in back-to-back games for the first time since August 9-10, […]
There were no guarantees based on sequencing, but the Mets drew an awfully short stick for extra innings. You know, just how things go when your team is tailspinning. When Pete Crow-Armstrong struck out to end the ninth, it meant he’d be the placed runner to start the 10th. Once Caleb Thielbar escaped the top […]
Meet the Mets You bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. You are not watching the Mets. It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, MLB.com, Newsday, New York Daily News, New York Post, […]
Honestly? I thought I was going to be writing another “The Cubs didn’t hit with RISP” recap and that the Cubs would lose this game by not scoring, because they went into the ninth inning 0-for-6 with RISP. Thank you, Cubs, for proving me wrong. Michael Conforto’s RBI double in the ninth tied the game […]

For a while there, it looked like the Mets would finally win a baseball game. But they’ll have to wait until at least Tuesday to break their losing streak, as Devin Williams blew his save opportunity in the bottom of the ninth before the Cubs scored a walk-off sac fly in the bottom of the […]

Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Mets lineup: Javier Assad, RHP vs. Tobias Myers, RHP Javier Assad has made one really good start and one really bad one so far this year. He has not faced the Mets since April 30, 2024 and a lot of those guys aren’t on the Mets anymore. No current Met has […]

Meet the Mets The Mets fell to the Cubs 4-2 to drop their tenth straight. Mark Vientos got Mets on the board early with a towering solo homer off Jameson Taillon in the second, but the lead was short lived, as Freddy Peralta yielded a monster shot of his own to Ian Happ in the […]
For Dom Hamel, it is a bit of a homecoming. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders right-hander was scheduled to pitch the second game of a doubleheader against the Syracuse Mets at NBT Bank Stadium in New York.

The Mets have announced that Tobias Myers, the 27-year-old who came to the Mets with Freddy Peralta in the team’s trade with the Brewers ahead of this season, will start the team’s series finale against the Cubs on Sunday afternoon. David Peterson had been slated to start the game, and according to Mike Puma, Peterson […]
I mean, what can you even say? Ten straight losses in ten straight losses, which is bad, no good, terrible, pick whichever word or phrase from the thesaurus you would like. The bats have looked better the past two days, with the Mets netting 14 hits yesterday and seven today, but no one diehard enough […]
It’s a strategy familiar to anyone who follows baseball. Middle innings, team rallying, left-handed hitter comes up. The team on defense sends in a left-handed reliever. The batting team counters with a right-handed pinch-hitter. That was the scenario in the bottom of the sixth on a sunny, but chilly Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field. The […]
Go get ‘em, Jamo.

Today’s roster move: Here Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Mets lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Freddy Peralta, RHP Jameson Taillon’s three starts this year can be described as: Mediocre, decent and not so much. Even so, after allowing three home runs to the Pirates last Sunday, he stayed in the game, ate up some innings and […]

The Mets have placed Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list, and the team’s official reason for doing so is the right wrist contusion that arose recently. The 32-year-old, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets shortly after Pete Alonso signed a five-year deal with the Orioles, had also been dealing with […]
