*12-8, 3.59 ERA, 165.2 IP.. Stats were not updated on BBREF when I posted this originally.

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! 👏

A devastating loss leaves the Mets on the outside looking in The Mets are out of playoff position for the first time since April 5

I certainly hope we didn't witness a death blow for the #Mets this weekend...

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.

Here's what to look for in Brandon Sproat's debut On the heels of a tough loss for Jonah Tong and the Mets on Saturday, the Mets look to another highly-rated rookie for additional answers

Juan Soto has begun to carry the Mets Soto's biggest game of the year helped carry the Mets to a 10-8 win over the AL-best Tigers on Monday

Guess who is starting to carry the #Mets?

The guy having a “down year” who is about to be 30/30.

I talk about that guy and what is arguably becoming an MVP-type season for him…

It's Jonah Tong Day for the Mets! The Mets kicked the ball around on Thursday in an ugly loss, but tonight is must-see TV with Jonah Tong toeing the rubber

Forget last night with the #Mets - it's Jonah Tong Day!

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.

So, why is the Mets offense suddenly clicking? The Mets are crushing it at the plate lately, which is the main reason the Mets beat the Phillies on Monday night...

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...

Another typical loss for the Mets... The offense struggled and there were too many walks. Plus. it's now or never if the Mets still want to be a factor in the NL East

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…

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 not-so-secret weapon in the lineup... Also - the Mets powered up and Clay Holmes gave them a strong effort on the mound in their 9-2 win over the Braves.

The #Mets have gotten a surprisingly good season out of Starling Marte. An in depth from Drew Van Buskirk…

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.

Francisco Lindor, 19 games in August:

.372/.449/.664

7 doubles, 5 HR, 13 RBI, 29 hits, 19 runs scored. #Mets

Juan Soto, 19 games in August:

.268/.404/.563

7 HR, 14 RBI, 16 BB, 19 hits and 17 runs scored. #Mets

Brett Baty, 14 games in August:

.378/.440/.667

2B, 4 HR, 7 RBI, 17 hits, 13 runs scored. #Mets

As Francisco Lindor goes, so does the Mets offense... The Mets got another big night from Francisco Lindor's white hot bat. They also got a big bop from Mark Vientos. But they have a new injury concern with their catcher.

Francisco Lindor is hitting.

And when that happens, the #Mets hit.

Plus, thoughts on a great night from Swaggy V, and a good night turned bad for Alvy...
