Welcome back to Monday Stat Party, a weekly series showcasing some of the most curious and nostalgia-inducing statistical developments from the past week of Mets baseball. What unites each entry is the sense of intrigue which they aim to spark, and the unbridled love of the game’s anomalies from which they arise. Without further ado, […]
Mike and Dan recap some news around the Islanders and their AHL affiliate, question the team’s bizarre partnering with JELL-O and reveal some important announcements. While fans like us are still mad about the Islanders being home during the NHL playoffs, there was some news coming out of the team’s prospect pool. The Bridgeport Islanders […]
Back in the summer of 2024, former New Jersey Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald declared that he wanted to go “Big game hunting” for a premium goalie after the 2023-24 season was sunk, in large part, due to shockingly bad goaltending. Sure enough, on June 19, 2024, Fitzgerald got his man in the form of […]
All good things have to come to an end, and the Yankees’ winning streak followed that rule as it ended at eight in the series finale against Houston. Luis Gil couldn’t keep the ball in the yard, serving up a pair of two-run shots and getting into further trouble leading to his exit in the […]
For the last couple years, Richard Lovelady has been known for two things. The first is his funny name and the second is all the times he has been cut and re-signed by the Mets. However, the well traveled Lovelady may have finally found a home with the Nationals. Since a shaky first outing, Lovelady […]
How low can the vibes get before you reach a point of no return? We got pretty close to that after the demoralizing beatdown the Knicks got at the hands of the shorthanded Mavericks back on MLK Day in January to fall to 2-9 in their last 11 games. Even throughout all the frustration in […]
Outside that pair of series against the Athletics and Rays, this Yankees team has been pretty adept at quickly brushing off losses. That’s something they’ll look to do in the backend of this road trip after missing out on a sweep opportunity against the Houston Astros. After Luis Gil’s increasingly disappointing efforts on Sunday—ultimately leading […]

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets completed their 2026 draft on Saturday, picking up four probable starters in edge David Bailey, tight end Kenyon Sadiq, wide receiver Omar Cooper and cornerback D’Angelo Ponds in the first two days.

The Hawks (2-2) had a listless Game 4 loss on Saturday meaning they’ve now squandered the home court advantage they picked up with their clutch win in Game 2. Certainly, there have been some disappointing performances from an individual player perspective. But let’s zoom out a tad and focus on a trio of tactics the […]
Good morning everyone! A longer, original version of this post was lost due to some technical difficulties, so apologies on being at least somewhat brief with the question today. The big news in Yankeeland is that Jasson Domínguez is reportedly on his way back to the Yankees to join his AL East-leading teammates. The erstwhile […]
Nguyen: NFL Draft’s 10 best scheme fits: Giants, Cowboys, Bucs among teams picking perfect pieces (paywall)“I thought Stribling would be a perfect fit for the 49ers because of his ability to run after the catch, and he’s the best blocking receiver in the draft, both skills that former 49er Jauan Jennings was adept at. Stribling […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Mark Polishuk: Jasson Domínguez is being called up to the big-league roster from Triple-A ahead of the upcoming series against the Rangers. He fills the spot opened by Luis Gil’s demotion to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and could factor into the DH and outfield pictures with Giancarlo Stanton sidelined with a calf injury. After […]
The Rockies and Mets came into this series with nearly identical records: 10-16 for Colorado, 9-16 for New York. Which… felt misleading. Like two teams arriving at the same place for completely different reasons. Then the Rockies swept the series, and the gap in records is growing: 13-16 for Colorado, 9-19 for New York. Same […]
Following their disastrous double header sweep at the hands of the Rockies, the Mets designated Tommy Pham for assignment. In another move, the club signed outfielder Austin Slater to a deal after electing free agency earlier today. He was DFA’ed by the Marlins earlier this month. Pham, you may recall, played for the Mets in […]

If you had any doubt about the 2026 Mets being a terrible baseball team, surely it was erased this afternoon as the team scored just one run across two games of a doubleheader against the Rockies at Citi Field. In the second game, the Mets were shut out, a recurring theme early of a season […]
After rain bumped the Saturday matchup from the MLB schedule, the Colorado Rockies and New York Mets played two on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. Game 1: Rockies 3, Mets 1 The Rockies started the day with a victory to lock up a series win on the road. Putting the ‘K’ in New York Strikeouts […]
Following a rough start against the Astros on Sunday afternoon in which he surrendered six runs on five hits and three walks in four innings including a pair of early two-run homers, Luis Gil has been demoted to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes/Barre.

The Mets fell to the lowly Rockies by a score of 3-1 in the first game of the doubleheader. Lack of offense and poor defense was the name of the game yet again in their second straight loss to Colorado. The Mets did load the bases with one out in the first against old friend […]
