a rough stretch

A difficult stretch, and the score shows it. A 0-7 week weighs heavy on the score. And a quiet 1.9 R/G from the lineup this week.

Mets News

The New York Mets are in free fall, extending their losing streak to 12 games after yet another gut-wrenching defeat, this time to the Minnesota Twins, despite a solid start from Nolan McLean who has a 2.28 ERA. At 7-16, the Mets are struggling mightily, managing just 1.4 runs per game over the last week, a dreadful statistic that highlights their offensive ineptitude. Injuries haven't done them any favors, and while Juan Soto is set to return soon, it may not be enough to shake this dreadful slump. The pitching staff has seen its own ups and downs, but there are no bright spots on a team that appears to be unraveling. With no wins in the past two weeks, the pressure mounts as the Mets try to salvage their season starting with a home series against the Twins.

For whom the twelve tolls

The Mets led 3-0, Nolan McLean was perfect through five, and the Twins were throwing a spot-starter in Simeon Woods Richardson, who came into the game with a 6.10 ERA. The Mets also somehow lost, again, giving them an abhorrent 12th straight loss. They are now 7-16. Yikes. The game was a game of two […]

Mets Player Performance Meter: Pitchers, April 6-19

I thought this meter would be better than the hitting meter because the offense has really been the problem. But honestly? It’s not that much better. There are more positive grades for sure, but there are almost as many pitchers mired in the poop right now as the hitters, which is almost impressive. All of […]

Mets plan to activate Soto on Wednesday, will manage workload

NEW YORK -- While Juan Soto's calf injury has hardly been the sole reason for the Mets’ 11-game losing streak, it has certainly been a factor in the team’s poor play. The Mets will at least solve that part of their problem before first pitch Wednesday against the Twins, when
