Frustration Mounting For The Team, The Fans, And For David Wright
Any enthusiasm and energy the Mets may have had when they broke camp in St. Lucie and headed north have slowly dissipated. The visions of grandeur that Jon Niese would be the ace of the team, that Lucas Duda and Ike Davis would have breakout seasons, that Collin Cowgill would be the leadoff hitter they haven’t had since Jose Reyes, that Kirk Nieuwenhuis would rake in right field...
Here are answers this fan wants from the Mets
When the Mets hired Terry Collins, he was 62 years old and had not managed in the majors in a dozen years. His hiring was never about being a long-term answer. Instead, he was supposed to bring professionalism back to the position and help transition to a new era. He was a caretaker. Webster’s defines caretaker as: one that gives physical or emotional care and support.
Yesterday...
Collin Cowgill approach says Juan Lagares has 19 PA before demotion
Juan Lagares made an outstanding catch a few nights ago, saving at least an extra-base hit and perhaps a home run in a game that the Mets went on to win. He deserves all the credit in the world for making that play. However, that one play does not mean that every single thing he does defensively should be blown out of proportion from now on.
In Saturday’s revolting game, Laragres...
Fun Times in Las Vegas Watching Mets AAA Affiliate Las Vegas 51s Minor League Games
TweetThere’s tons of things to do in Las Vegas besides gambling, such as going to Cashman Field and watching the Las Vegas 51s play baseball. The 51s are the New York Mets AAA affiliate and going to a game is always affordable and a lot of fun – especially when it’s dollar beer night. $1 Beer Nights are usually Thursday night home games for the 51s and in this game the Las...
Lutz, Flores Go Deep En Route To 6-5 Vegas Victory
Las Vegas 6, Round Rock 5
Zach Lutz and Wilmer Flores hit solo home runs Thursday for the Las Vegas 51s, helping them take down visiting Round Rock, 6-5.
Lutz, who also homered Wednesday, started the scoring in the second inning with a home run to right-center field. The 51s scored two more runs in the frame, on an RBI single from Juan Centeno and another when Eric Campbell scored...
More Brown, less Cowgill, and Francisco continues rehab
The Mets shook things up a bit towards the end of last week, electing to call up outfielder Andrew Brown from Las Vegas (AAA) of the Pacific Coast League and option outfielder Collin Cowgill to the 51s.

New York Mets Purchase Andrew Brown From Las Vegas
The New York Mets have purchased outfielder Andrew Brown from their Triple-A Las Vegas minor league affiliate. To make room for him, the organization has optioned outfielder Collin Cowgill to the same affiliate. Brown is expected to be a situational outfielder who could see some action against left-handed pitchers.
The post New York Mets Purchase Andrew Brown From Las Vegas appeared...
Mets option Cowgill, call up Brown
The New York Mets optioned center fielder Collin Cowgill to Triple-A Las Vegas and called up Andrew Brown to take his place on Friday.
After going 2 for 5 with a grand slam in the season opener, Cowgill hit .155 with one homer and five RBIs over his next 46 at-bats.
Brown, who signed a minor league contract as a free agent last winter, hit .367 with two homers and 27 RBIs in 25...
Mets News: Collin Cowgill demoted to Triple-A Las Vegas
Mets News:
Collin Cowgill, who had a solid spring training and grand slam on Opening Day, has been demoted to Triple-A Las Vegas to clear the roster spot for the promotion of fellow outfielder Andrew Brown.
Cowgill, 26, hit .157 (8-for-51) with two homers and eight RBIs with the Mets. All 10 of his starts came in center field. He had been hitless in his final 13 at-bats and also...

Mets To Promote Brown In Time For Tonight’s Game, Cowgill Likely To Get Cut
According to what a source told Adam Rubin, the Mets will be promoting right-handed hitting outfielder Andrew Brown from Triple-A Las Vegas, where Brown was tearing it up at the plate.
Rubin says that Brown will be on hand for tonight’s game against the Braves in Atlanta.

A Few Better Met Managerial Choices
You know I bet you could build a supercomputer that would be able to manage the NY Mets. Maybe something like the robot from Lost in Space.
A robot would probably have put in Juan Lagares instead of Collin Cowgill in the late innings last night … That’s because robots are nothing if not logical. Robots don’t go on intuition or hunches, they don’t make bullpen decisions...
Mets Frustrate Yet Again In Loss To Marlins
What can be said about last night’s Mets game that hasn’t already been said about my high school prom.
It was long, nobody could score and it turned out to be a huge waste of time.
They say hindsight is 20/20, but my foresight in this one wasn’t so bad either. There were a few poor decisions that were easily predictable.
I’m still flabbergasted by Terry Collins’ inexplicable...

From Left Field: Timing Of Juan Lagares Promotion Is Strange
Most baseball pundits cast off the Mets’ outfield as being the worst in the league heading into the season.
On paper, maybe that is correct, but based on performance, the Mets outfield hasn’t been all that bad.
Lucas Duda has looked good offensively, Marlon Byrd has had some big hits, Mike Baxter gives all-out effort every time he’s on the field, and Jordany Valdespin proved...
Reviewing The Top Of The Mets Batting Order
I thought about the first three spots in the Mets lineup. While the two and three holes seem locked by Daniel Murphy and David Wright respectively, the leadoff spot has been somewhat of a revolving door. Here is the list of starts in the leadoff spot with Murphy and Wright at No. 2 and 3:
Collin Cowgill – 6
Jordany Valdespin – 6
Mike Baxter – 1
Kirk Nieuwenhuis – 1

Cowgill Now Batting .130, Valdespin Leads Mets Outfielders With .917 OPS Off Bench
Aside from Marlon Byrd, who is batting .269 on the young season, the rest of the Mets outfielders are all in a big rut at the plate. Worst among them is Oakland A’s import Collin Cowgill who is batting .130 after another 0-for-4 showing last night against left-hander Cliff Lee.
Cowgill, who was initially proclaimed the everyday center fielder before the season began, has now been...

John Buck’s Impact On The Mets’ Future
In the early season, all of two games old, the Mets have had more than a few pleasant surprises. On Opening Day, there was Collin Cowgill and his home run hustle, there was Jonathon Niese acting like an ace, there was Scott Rice arriving – finally! – on a big league stage. In game two, Matt Harvey emphatically announced his arrival, Ike Davis found a slump-buster – psst…It’s...
Home-run happy Mets offer hope for power resurgence
While, of course, you should take this with a huge grain of salt, but so far the Mets are putting some fears to bed that they are some sort of power-sapped bunch. We’ve been led to believe that the only way for the Mets to be successful is to to manufacture runs.
Of course the sample size is extremely small, but the Mets have walloped four home runs-which have accounted for 10...
Mets’ Collins Keeps Pat Hand; Roster Notes
True to his word, manager Terry Collins is keeping a pat hand. Of course, why would you change anything after scoring 11 runs?
COWGILL: Back on top of order.
However, too often in recent seasons the Mets lineup seemed to change daily, with no regard of who was hot or slumping. Granted, there are times when a slump or bad pitching match-up will force a change, but I like Collinsâ...
