The Mets played a rather complete game against the Royals; arguably one of the more complete wins on the season. Sean Manaea was the standard bearer for the team, throwing seven excellent innings. He was, however, treated quite rudely to start, as Lane Thomas took the very first pitch of the game and deposited it […]
The Royals failed to capitalize on the chance to take two straight series as they fell to the Mets, 7-3, Thursday afternoon. Kansas City led the game going into the bottom of the fifth, but for the third straight game, they allowed New York to score at least four runs in an inning, this time […]
When the Nationals signed Foster Griffin in December of 2025, he was labeled as a low-upside reclamation project.

His prestige as a 2014 […]

In a corresponding move, the team sent Tobias Myers back to Triple-A, and have designated outfielder Jared Oliva for assignment to […]
Keith Hernandez seems legitimately upset about having no biological grandchildren, but that didn’t stop Gary Cohen from poking fun. It was the rant heard round the world earlier this week, when Hernandez complained about witnessing the end of his bloodline. As Daniel Lynch IV came in to pitch for the Kansas City Royals during their…

The Royals have not historically been a great organization at identifying and developing hitters with strong plate discipline. Since 2000, the Royals swing at more pitches out of the strike zone than any team and rank dead last in walk rate. Too often, the Royals have leaned toward toolsy hitters with athletic upside that come […]
Meet the Mets The Mets rallied for five runs with two outs in the eighth inning to win 6-2 against the Royals. Brett Baty delivered the big hit with the bases loaded to drive in two to extend the Mets’ lead. Unlike in the previous game, the team managed to hold on to the lead […]

They’ll need to make active and 40-man roster moves before tomorrow’s series finale against the Royals. Hammer gets his first big league call a couple months before his 29th birthday.

We’ve seen a lot of long, frustrating losses this season. Last night’s 16-12 offensive barrage was unique even for the 2026 Mets. Following that monstrosity of a baseball game, tonight’s affair was blissfully, mercifully fairly normal in comparison. It was a fairly low-scoring evening until a sudden offensive barrage in the eighth inning, and the […]

The Royals are coming off of two wild games in a row. They have amassed 31 runs on 41 hits, and they are even on a winning streak of three games. We have to take small victories at this point. Tonight’s game is likely to have some scoring too, though baseball is weird, so you […]

Keith Hernandez went into too much detail about his family situation during the Mets-Royals game on Tuesday night.
The crud-ass New York Mets were able to manage a series split on the road against division-leading Atlanta during the long weekend, overcoming severe bullpen issues for 10-9 and 7-6 victories on Sunday and Monday. But before any fan could even begin to think about letting their guard down or their hopes up, New York returned home to kick off a series with the Royals and deliver another entry in this year's contest for "Most Frustrating Loss." Again, the Mets offense did their part, but Kansas ...

Kansas City Royals slugger Jac Caglianone is throwing his name in the hat for the 2026 Home Run Derby.
Trea Turner’s issues at shortstop have officially become too troubling to put off any longer. In Monday’s get-away game in Kansas City, another Turner error, his 12th of the season, opened the floodgates to a 6-run Royals outburst in the first inning of what would eventually become a 15-1 boat-racing of the Phillies. To be […]
