Mets Morning News: Shutout (No foolin’)

Meet the Mets The Mets suffered their second loss of the season, losing 3-0 to the Cardinals and being held to just three hits. Senga had a great start, giving up just two runs in the third inning and going six full innings with three walks and an impressive nine strikeouts. Richard Lovelady made another […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 4/1/26: Rain and Rochester ruin return

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (2-2) ROCHESTER 5, SYRACUSE 1 / 7 (BOX) Thanks to a pair of errors by Ji Hwan Bae—though Carl Edwards didn’t help himself by walking a pair of batters and allowing five balls to be put in play—the Red Wings jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the top of the […]

Senga’s first start goes well, but Mets waste it

Kodai Senga’s first start of the season went well, but the Mets’ lineup was lifeless as the team lost 3-0 to the lowly Cardinals tonight in St. Louis. It’s hard to come out of seeing your team get shut out by an unimpressive cast of pitchers, but let’s start with the positive. Senga continued to […]

Mets hire J.D. Martinez as special advisor

The Mets have hired J.D. Martinez as a special advisor, a role that will see him working with players in the organization in a similar way that Carlos Beltrán has in recent years, according to Tim Healey. One of the best hitters of his generation, Martinez spent his final major league season with the Mets […]

The Mets’ bullpen is already a problem

The Mets are (probably) one better third-base coach decision away from being 3-0 on the young season, but there’s an issue that has already reared its head in all three games of 2026 thus far: the bullpen.  Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Mets are coming off a season where their […]

Monday Stat Party: A-Benge-rs Assemble!

Welcome back to Monday Stat Party, a weekly series showcasing the most curious and nostalgia-inducing statistical developments from the past week of Mets baseball. These can be as high-profile as becoming the youngest MLB player to homer, steal, and walk on Opening Day, or as obscure as setting a team record for the most double-digit […]

Sean Manaea’s velocity gives the Mets a tough early problem to solve

In watching Sean Manaea’s 2026 debut from the stands at Citi Field, it looked like the likable lefty was getting away with something against the Pirates. Velocity isn’t everything when it comes to pitching, but it definitely matters. Manaea averaged 89 miles per hour with his fastball yesterday afternoon, and his sweeper averaged just 75 […]

Love Won, Love Lost

The Mets and Pirates went to extra innings in a low-scoring affair for the second day in a row, but this time there were no walk-off fireworks by the home team, as the Mets fell to Pittsburgh 4-3 in ten innings. Things got off to a nervy start immediately for Nolan McLean, who had trouble […]
