New York Mets

“How can you not be romantic about baseball?” Brad Pitt’s words as Billy Beane in the 2011 biopic Moneyball never rang truer and more parallel than with the case of Luis Arraez and the Miami Marlins. If you’re an MLB fan and haven’t seen the movie, forget the chill and get your Netflix on quicker than an Arraez infield hit. It follows Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A’s, who is forced to reinvent his team on a tight budget. Struggling against conventional wisdom, he partners with a young Yale economics graduate, using sophisticated data analysis to recruit undervalued players.

The New York Mets are expected to place first baseman Pete Alonso on the injured list Friday, multiple media outlets reported.

New York has lost a season-high six in a row to fall 8 1/2 games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves in the National League East.

Your 2023 New York Mets : Hello Darkness, My Old Friend “We’re a little snakebit right now.” -Buck Showalter [ MLB ] I’ve come to talk with you again “It’s a constant fight that I’m fighting uphill. I’m in it right now. It’s frustrating, because I’m not getting the results that I want, but I’ve just got to trust the process, fight the fight, continue to walk the line. And good things will come out of it. If we would have gotten a ‘W’ today, I would have felt much better.” -Francisco Lindor [ MLB ] Because a vision softly creeping “We just didn’t have much margin for error. Obviously, we’ve had trouble scoring runs.” -Buck Showalter [ MLB ] Left its seeds while I was sleeping “The first thing

This time as a member of the Mets?

I don’t know where he would be put in (the bullpen). Because (David) Robertson’s been so good I wouldn’t necessarily

The 2023 version of the New York Mets is far from the best team money can buy. The 40-year-old Verlander, who has defied father time for so long, is starting to show his age. Verlander had one of his worst outings of the season on Thursday in a 13-10 loss to the Atlanta Braves and if his postgame comments are any indication, he is running out of answers for why he’s fared so poorly. Verlander allowed five runs on seven hits in just three innings against the Braves, in which he walked four and struck out three.

Ozzie Albies’ walk-off homer for the Braves did more than just complete their three-game sweep of the NL East-rival New York Mets.

The Mets scored ten runs in Atlanta last night, but Justin Verlander and the bullpen combined to give up thirteen runs, the last three of which scored on a three-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the tenth. Pete Alonso had some imaging done in Atlanta but returned to New York City for further testing after leaving the Mets’ second loss of the series in the series when he was hit on the left arm by a fastball. Buck Showalter thinks the WBC might be to blame for the Mets’ terrible play this season. Edwin Díaz posted a photo of his rehab workout.

Last week, the Phillies went into Citi Field to play a series against the Mets. New York basically ran the Phils out of town, with Philadelphia scoring just three runs total across all three games. Once again, Phillies players found themselves looking up at their rivals in the standings, a Mets logo firmly imprinted on each of their foreheads. One week later, the Phillies are suddenly ahead of their NL East rivals.

After a dreadful road trip, Cardinals’ fate seems to deepen. Could the team benefit from some trades as the Aug. 1 deadline approaches?

For months now, the Mets have been sniffing around Alexis Diaz, the Cincinnati Reds closer and the brother of injured closer Edwin Diaz, but they’re likely cringing at the price tag for a guy who is 14-for-14 in save opportunities. While there have been no formal trade talks, it’s likely the Mets would have to give up several pitching prospects, Jon Heyman of the N.Y. Post said, and the Mets traditionally have coveted young arms.

A couple of teams looking for wins meet this weekend when the New York Mets visit the Pittsburgh Pirates. New York has lost a season-high six games in a row after being swept at Atlanta, including a 13-10, 10-inning defeat on Thursday.

ATLANTA — The Mets thought they had found a solution to their lack of left-handed relief pitching with Adam Ottavino this season. But right now, the Mets are being exposed for every mistake they make and not carrying two left-handers in the bullpen might be one of those mistakes.

ATLANTA — The Mets haven’t turned a blind eye toward the club’s struggles this season. Fans might be screaming into a Twitter void about Daniel Vogelbach being in the lineup over Mark Vientos one night after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, or complaining about Jeff McNeil hitting second instead of Francisco Lindor after the shortstop hit his 11th home run of the season Tuesday night, but …

ATLANTA — The Mets are in a tough spot with struggling role players they might have relied on a little too heavily. Daniel Vogelbach isn’t giving the Mets much of anything at the designated hitter spot right now. Drew Smith hasn’t shown that he has what it takes to be a high-leverage reliever on a consistent basis. The good news is that the club may have an internal option for a high-leverage, …
