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.

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… www.justmets.net/p/juan-soto-...

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.

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... www.justmets.net/p/as-francis...

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

At some point, you’d think the #Mets will hit rock bottom. But it hasn’t happened yet and they are going down belly first. From Justin Mears open.substack.com/pub/justmets...

It's time for changes to the #Mets rotation, even if it means pinning unfair expectations on their pitching prospects. By Justin Mears www.justmets.net/p/its-time-f...

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...

Alrighty - the #Mets got their outfielder. Its Cedric Mullins. He is flawed, he is a rental, but he does address one area of weakness... open.substack.com/pub/justmets...

The #Mets are in now or never mode with their club. Andrew Steele throws around some available names they can consider for their offense with the trade deadline closing in on them… open.substack.com/pub/justmets...

The rumor mill is swirling around Mark Vientos, but he made a case to stay with his power display on Monday. Plus, buzz around the Mets and Brandon Lowe, Harrison Bader. Also - the #Mets blew a 4 run lead and lost last night, which stunk. open.substack.com/pub/justmets...

The best upgrade for the #Mets centerfield problem is... Also, they won for a sixth straight game last night. By Drew Van Buskirk. 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...

Dylan Cease? Zac Gallen? How about Eugenio Suárez? How can the #Mets creatively solve their problems with the offense? Linda Surovich talks about all of that in a busy newsletter this morning… open.substack.com/pub/justmets...
