Lucas Duda swings, Jeurys Familia’s opponents don’t, Anthony Recker wins
One of the unsung stars of the early going for the Mets has been the offensive production of Lucas Duda. Slowed by an injury in Spring Training, Duda has also suffered somewhat from management’s refusal to solve the three-headed first baseman issue. But when he’s got on the field, Duda has been a productive offensive player.
Among those with at least 20 PA, Duda leads the...

First Base Will Be Unaffected By Friday’s Roster Decision
Andrew Brown: Dead man walking?
GM Sandy Alderson wouldn’t say which player is likely to depart when the team activates outfielder Chris Young from the disabled list on Friday, but we did learn that the Mets first base situation will be unaffected.
Alderson offered no indication the Mets would use the opportunity to demote a first baseman and alleviate crowding there.
“I wouldn’t...

Organizational Depth Spurring on Mets
Although sometimes not in particular pretty fashion, the New York Mets have been getting it done of late while winning eight of their last 12 games. Part of the reason for their winning ways has been the play of the bench and the call-ups they have relied on from Las Vegas.
Aside from the sweep to begin the season at the hands of the Washington Nationals, the Mets have turned on...

Keith Hernandez Admires A Female Fan In Attendance At Mets-Diamondbacks Game
Tuesday night in the Mets game vs the Diamondbacks, the game had gotten out of hand as the Mets, with a lineup resembling a AAA unit along with David Wright took an early 9-0 lead.

Juan Lagares the Odd Man Out?
Juan Lagares has been the New York Mets’ most lethal hitter thus far. Before the season there was speculation he’d be a bench player due to his ineptitude at the plate – he’s always been known for his stellar play defensively, but, supposedly, his weak bat would keep him from playing every day. But after being named the starter in center field on Opening Day, Lagares hasn’t...

Time is running out for Eric Young, Jr.
Eric Young, Jr. has been auditioning for a starting outfielder position since the 2014 season began. He was given this opportunity for two reasons; Terry Collins likes to have speed at the top of the order, and Chris Young was hurt. Young just started a rehab assignment in Las Vegas, where he promptly hit two home runs and drove in five on his way to a 5-5 night on Sunday, then added...

In the top of the 7th inning of today’s Mets blowout loss to the Angels, David Wright and Daniel Murphy were ejected by rookie Umpire Toby Basner.
Basner had, lets just say it nicely, a generous strike zone and the Mets were none to pleased about it for the entire game.
