New York Mets manager Buck Showalter is as disappointed as anyone regarding the team's performance in 2023. Coming off of a 101-win season and a Manager of the Year award, Showalter appeared to be the captain that would steer Steve Cohen's MLB yacht into the World Series. That excursion may be short lived.

Scherzer had a few good starts, but the rest were duds and when you consider the millions he was making, he was a total bust this season.

The Mets traded their closer David Robertson early this morning to the Miami Marlins in exchange for two rookie league minor league teenagers.

It is disappointing that there isn't as much buzz for the Subway Series as both New York teams are struggling and just aren't very good.

When right-handed relief pitcher, David Robertson signed a one-year $10 million contract at Citi Field back in December, the last that crossed his mind was that his new team, coming off 101-wins and a playoff appearance in 2022, would be out of the post-season tournament picture by August 1st. Well David, welcome to the New York Mets.

Max Scherzer is impossible to figure out, and it will end up costing the New York Mets a trip to the postseason.

It all started out so promisingly. The 2022 New York Mets jumped ahead to a 10.5 game lead over the Atlanta Braves in the National League East on June 1st. However, by the beginning of October of last season, that lead was gone and the rest is history. Manager Buck Showalter, once again, got his team close to a championship but lost in the process.

Max Scherzer needs to be better in the second half of the season if the Mets are going to sneak into the playoffs.

'Ya Gotta Believe' was a slogan that New York Mets fans clung onto 50 years ago this summer. Famous Mets' reliever Tug McGraw, father of country music star Tim McGraw, coined the phrase during the Amazin's improbable run to the World Series in 1973.

Mets owner Steve Cohen is not going to fire Buck Showalter or any of his front office before the season is out, and I understand where he is coming from.

The New York Mets bullpen ranks 27th out of 30 teams in Major League Baseball. With right-handed reliever Drew Smith serving a 10-game suspension for a foreign substance on his pitching hand, manager Buck Showalter needed some relief. So, the team called-up right-hander pitcher Grant Hartwig from triple-A Syracuse, who thought he would be medical school these days instead of the big leagues.

Owner of the New York Mets, Steve Cohen is worth about $13.2 billion, depending on what day it is. Say what you want about the accumulation of that wealth, but there is no doubt Cohen is a shrewd businessman and Mets fans should expect nothing less when it comes to running his team.
