Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Mets lineup: Edward Cabrera, RHP vs. Kodai Senga, RHP Edward Cabrera was really good his first two starts, not so much last time out against the Pirates. Even so, his outing last Sunday was decent. As a former denizen of the NL East, Cabrera has faced the Mets a lot. Last […]

Chicago Cubs vs. New York Mets preview, Friday 4/17, 1:20 CT
This Cubs homestand is an old NL East flashback — Mets and Phillies! Just like it was the 1970s or 1980s again. Obviously, that’s just a bit of nostalgia. In the meantime, this seven-game homestand seems important for the Cubs to begin to set a tone at Wrigley Field, where they are just 4-5 so […]
Believe it or not, the Mets (7-12) had a winning record one week ago. Now that they’ve lost eight games in a row, though, they’ll be lucky to get back to .500 over the next couple of weeks. And coming of a much-needed off day yesterday, they’re now in Chicago for a three-game series with […]
The New York Mets fell 12-4 to the Chicago Cubs, extending their losing streak to nine games after another pitching collapse.
Happy Friday, everyone. The Cubs are back home tonight and looking to keep the good times rolling, and with the struggling Mets coming to town, they might just get their wish. In the meantime, we’ll take a look at what’s happening around baseball. The top stories of the continuing trend of teams extending their breakout […]
Meet the Mets The Mets mercifully had the day off yesterday, and they’re set to begin a three-game series at Wrigley Field this afternoon as they attempt to snap an alarming eight-game losing streak. The team opened a big new development complex in the Dominican Republic. Will Sammon wrote about the cracks showing in the […]
Meet the Mets The Mets were swept by the Dodgers with the offense failing to show up once again. Clay Holmes was solid in his start but the bullpen collapsed to turn it into a blowout loss that is now the team’s eighth in a row. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, MLB.com, Newsday, NY Post […]

The Mets had lost seven in a row, including the first two games of the series against the Dodgers. Clay Holmes was taking the mound against Shohei Ohtani, who had a 0.00 ERA up to that point in the season. The Mets needed to change that to change their own fortunes, as they had been […]

Prior to tonight’s series finale against the Dodgers, the Mets placed Jared Young on the IL, retroactive to April 13, with a meniscus tear in his left knee. The team later revealed that Young will undergo surgery and is expected to miss six to eight week of action as a result. To take his place […]
So far this homestand, the Los Angeles Dodgers have quietly handled the New York Mets, with the pitching staff allowing only one run in 18 innings. The run was a leadoff shot from Francisco Lindor off of Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Tuesday’s game, and otherwise no Met has crossed the plate in L.A. Wednesday the Dodgers […]

Meet the Mets The Mets lost their seventh game in as many days, falling to the Dodgers 2-1 in a true pitcher’s duel. Francisco Lindor provided the team’s sole run, hitting his first home run of the season to lead off the game, recording his first RBI of the season in the process. Nolan McLean […]

The pitchers’ duel that was advertised delivered and then some, with both the Mets and Dodgers getting stellar starts, in a nail biter of a game that, unfortuantely, didn’t break the Mets’ way. A 2-1 loss is never easy to take, but especially not when your ace pitches the game of his young career in […]
LOS ANGELES — Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Nolan McLean engaged in a wonderful pitching duel on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, pitchers with different styles but equally vast repertoires, and both exceedingly difficult to score against. Offenses were kept mostly at bay until the eighth inning, when both teams threatened but only the Dodgers were able […]

The Dodgers close out their homestand on Wednesday night against the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium, on the 79th anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s debut with Brooklyn in 1947. All uniformed personnel on Wednesday will wear number 42. Shohei Ohtani, who has not allowed an earned run in 12 innings so far this season, starts […]
The Mets have placed right-handed relief pitcher Joey Gerber on the injured list with a right finger blister, and they’ve called up fellow right-handed relief pitcher Austin Warren to take his place on the active roster. The team hadn’t made a roster move involving a pitcher until it called up Craig Kimbrel and designated Richard […]
The Dodgers took the opener over the New York Mets on Monday night, continuing their season-opening stretch of not yet losing two games in a row. They now head into Tuesday night looking to keep another streak alive — winning all the middle games of a three-game series. Thus far, the Dodgers are five for […]
Justin Wrobleski had the best start of the Dodgers season to date and the best outing of his career in Monday night’s win over the New York Mets. Wrobleski was so efficient in his eight scoreless innings that some of the talk afterwards was about why he didn’t get a chance to finish the game. […]
