Rick Porcello had his best start in a Mets uniform thus far on Wednesday, holding the Nationals to just one run across seven innings pitched. Porcello was backed up by outstanding infield defense, particularly by Andres Gimenez and J.D. Davis. Should the Mets look to keep those guys in the infield moving forward? Also New York made a trade to acquire a pitcher from the Rangers that was baffling. Why does the front office continue to make mistakes managing this roster?

The New York Mets have lost Robinson Cano just when he was getting red-hot, as the second baseman landed on the injured list on Tuesday. After losing Cano, the Mets starting lineup lacked a offensive punch and they lost their first matchup against the Nationals. What are different lineups the Mets could roll out due to their injuries? Also, is the clock ticking on Steven Matz to reach his potential?

The New York Mets finally gave Jacob deGrom some run support on Monday, scoring seven runs en route to his first victory of the season. Along with deGrom's great pitching, Jared Hughes excelled in his Mets debut out of the pen and the bats came alive. Unfortunately one Met was scratched from the lineup prior to the game and two went down during it. Where do the Mets stand if Jeff McNeil, Robinson Cano and/or Amed Rosario miss some time?

The New York Mets suffered a brutal loss on Wednesday, which made us all realize that baseball is back in Queens. Jacob deGrom pitched great but got no run support. The Mets collected hits but stranded 26 runners on base, failing to cash in countless times. Ultimately the bottom of the ninth was a great opportunity for New York to steal a victory and they came up just short. Listen for a breakdown of all the drama, including some questionable managerial decisions by Luis Rojas. Also top prospect Andres Gimenez made his first big league start.

The New York Mets broke out in a big way offensively on Monday night, as three home runs powered them to a convincing victory over the Boston Red Sox. Michael Wacha made his Mets debut and put together an outstanding start, giving some hope to an otherwise questionable starting rotation. Despite all of the positives we saw from New York on the field, all of it was overshadowed by the first COVID outbreak of this season. The Miami Marlins had at least 11 players test positive for the virus, putting the rest of this season in jeopardy.

The New York Mets went from a great Opening Day win, to an unfortunate series loss on Saturday and Sunday. Edwin Diaz reminded Mets fans of the pitfalls of the 2019 season when he blew a save in the second of the season. Then the Mets were blown out in the series finale. Still, there were positives to draw from the weekend, as Steven Matz had a great 2020 debut.

The New York Mets continued their sterling record for Opening Day with a victory over the Atlanta Braces. Jacob deGrom maintained his scoreless innings streak from last season, Seth Lugo and Justin Wilson picked up where they left off as reliable and Edwin Diaz nailed down his first save. Offensively, the return of Yoenis Cespedes to the lineup was highlighted by a clutch late home run, which proved to be the difference in the game.

The New York Mets set their 30-man Opening Day roster on Thursday and it was packed with a few surprises. Top prospect Andres Gimenez made the team and looks to soon make his MLB debut, while Corey Oswalt appears in line to fill in for Marcus Stroman's place in the rotation. Also the MLB decided to expand the playoffs from 10 to 16 teams this year, putting the Mets in better shape to play baseball in October.

The New York Mets were handed devastating news on Wednesday, as Marcus Stroman hit the injured list with a tear in his calf muscle. With Stroman out for a few weeks at best, the Mets suddenly are left with very few viable options coming out of their rotation and no depth to deal with another injury. Other news that came out on Wednesday was the addition of Brian Dozier and the return of Juan Lagares through free agency. Along with making those additions, the Mets released two players. How have those moves impacted the Mets depth moving forward.

The New York Mets bullpen was disastrous in 2019 and was a big reason for why the team did not ultimately make the playoffs. A huge key for success for the Mets this year is for the bullpen to have a much better season, which is dependent on bounce-back years from some of their top relievers. Will Edwin Diaz and Jeurys Familia be better this year and how will the additions of Dellin Betances and Jarred Hughes impact the Mets in 2020?
