Hat tip to Clay Holmes for a hell of a first season as a starter. He was gassed for sure in the second half, but all in all, 11-8, 3.66 ERA, 159.2 IP. There's work to do - he's a pitch-to-contact pitcher as a starter, so he needs to cut the walks down. But well done! 👏 #Mets

I certainly hope we didn't witness a death blow for the #Mets this weekend... www.justmets.net/p/a-devastat...

Massive game for the #Mets here today. Need to win to control the tiebreaker vs Cincinnati. They'd be 3-3 vs CIN, but NY is 23-19 vs the NL East, CIN is 17-22 vs the NL Central. That's the next tiebreaker, their own division record.

The #Mets are calling up Jonah Tong. He will start on Friday against the Marlins. He has arguably been the most dominant pitcher in the minors this year. He just got to Triple-A and has already dominated.

The #Mets offense has been crushing it lately. There's a notable difference which helps explain it. That plus thoughts on this race they're trying to get into, the pitching, some cool stats from last night too... www.justmets.net/p/so-why-is-...

It was another typical loss for the #Mets on Sunday as they settled for a 3-3 road trip. But, they have a chance now against the Phillies, if they show… By Justin Mears open.substack.com/pub/justmets...

The #Mets are hitting .313/.377/.588 with 30 doubles, a triple, 32 home runs and 87 runs scored over their last 13 games. And, they're 6-7 during that span.

The #Mets have gotten a surprisingly good season out of Starling Marte. An in depth from Drew Van Buskirk… www.justmets.net/p/the-mets-n...

Nolan McLean is the first non-David Peterson Mets starter in 62 games to finish 6 innings since Clay Holmes back on June 7th. First two MLB starts for the #Mets: 12.1 IP, 2 R, 6 H, 4 BB, 15 K, 28.2 swing-and-miss rate.

Juan Soto drew three walks and stole a base on Sunday - he reached the 20 home run/20 stolen base (20/20) plateau for the first time in his career. If he hurries, he can get to 30/30. #Mets

In 21 games since returning from the minor leagues, Francisco Álvarez is hitting .323/.408/.645 with six doubles, a triple, four home runs and 13 RBI with 20 hits and 14 runs scored. His thumb injury is Ill-timed. Hopefully it is nothing major. #Mets

Francisco Lindor now has a six-game hitting streak, during which he is hitting .560/.607/1.040 with three doubles, three home runs and seven RBI with 14(!!!) hits and seven runs scored. #Mets

The #Mets hit on Saturday! Its why they won. They didn’t win because of Kodai Senga, however, who continues to be somewhat uncompetitive. What’s the deal with that? Drew Van Buskirk examines the metrics on him. open.substack.com/pub/justmets...

The #Mets enjoyed a laugher in SF last night. They also made a trade to help the bullpen before the game. The big move they should make? It’s Steven Kwan from Cleveland. Andrew Steele takes a look at the pros and cons of such a move this morning… open.substack.com/pub/justmets...

#Mets had a nice win in SF last night. Top of the order (1-4) - which had been ice cold for a while - went 7-for-19 w/ 4 runs scored and 6 RBI. Clay Holmes gave them 5 solid & the bullpen was great too. 1st place, 6th best record in MLB, & more help coming. Hanging tough!

#Mets make a deal! They are attempting to address their hole on the left side of their bullpen. They will try with Gregory Soto. open.substack.com/pub/justmets...
