We Now Return You To Your Regularly Scheduled Beatings
It was nice after the "Super Tuesday" doubleheader to forget a lot of our problems and just allow ourselves to dream. And to bathe in the virtual beer that Zack Wheeler felt for real because let's face it ... when one gets doused with cheap beer, we all get doused in cheap beer.
But we feel the bad times too. Oh boy, do we feel the bad times. For example, when...
Harvey and Wheeler Help Mets Sweep Braves
Giving the hope of a brighter tomorrow to a Mets fan is a dangerous thing. For a team that last won a World Series over a quarter century ago it seems like it’s been nothing but heartbreak, injury epidemics, and ownership brain farts ever since. But last night offered the tiniest glimpse of better days ahead.
The Mets sweep of yesterday’s doubleheader against the Braves...
Daily Fantasy Baseball Analysis June 19: Harvey-Wheeler Day
Harvey dominates and Wheeler deals The New York Metropolitans have a new-look rotation in 2013. Rookie ace Matt Harvey has burst onto the scene with dominant command and has become an instant fantasy star.

Zack Wheeler and Wil Myers: Buy Now?
Tuesday marks the big league debut of two of baseball’s most exciting prospects: Zack Wheeler and Wil Myers.
Both Wheeler and Myers were high first-round talents drafted in 2009, Myers slipped to the third round due to perceived bonus demands. Despite, or perhaps because of, their elite amateur statuses both Wheeler and Myers were traded for established major league All-Stars before...

Prized Mets right-handed prospect Zack Wheeler made his major-league debut on Tuesday. What follows is a brief review of...
Mets need more than Harvey and Wheeler
Zack Wheeler's successful debut on top of Matt Harvey's sensational Game 1 start offered a preview of a potentially great future for the Mets, but even the Mets do end up with two healthy aces, the current team is still a long way from contending.Before yesterday's win, Harvey had only won one of his last ten starts due to his lack of run support. The Mets won only four...
Last Night We Saw A Big Chunk Of “The Plan”
Believe it or not, I ended up missing most of the game last night tending to some medical issues. But you have to love the the technology era we live in. Thanks to my phone, those mid-inning video updates from the MLB app, my Twitter app, and of course DVR. It felt like I was there. This morning at 7:05 AM I watched the game in it’s entirety and wow was I impressed.
I can’t even...
Where Does Wheeler Rank Among Best Mets Pitching Debuts?
Mark Simon of ESPN New York had a great post on Sunday in which he ranked the Top 11 memorable Mets debuts over the team’s history. He included both pitching and hitting debuts. Check out his work and research here. (This is great for some of you younger Mets fans)
I pulled the pitchers out of his list to see where Zack Wheeler might rank on this list. Here are the top five.

A Deeper Look At Zack Wheeler’s Debut
I noticed a few things during Zack Wheeler’s start I’d like to point out. A few things impressed me and there are some things that are noteworthy after doing some research:
Of Wheeler’s seven strikeouts, six were swinging and it was only the opposing pitcher that took a called third strike.
All seven third strikes were fastballs. Six were four-seamers, none of those were less...
Wheeler and Harvey - some serious heat
Yesterday could not have been better for Mets fans. Not only did they sweep a double-header in Atlanta, something most would term impossible, but they did it with a bookend of two of the brightest pitching phenoms in the game with Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler. The Atlanta Braves saw some serious heat yesterday.
According to Brooksbaseball.net, here is the fastball breakdown...
Mets Should Enjoy Harvey And Wheeler For Now; Let Future Take Care Of Itself
Nobody can say with any certainty how the careers of Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler will unfold. We’ve been bombarded with the comparisons to Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden for both.
Hell, Gooden even tweeted late last night about their future. Imagine how Twitter might have blown up if it was around when he played?
WHEELER: Enjoy him now. (AP)
Will they live up to the expectations...
2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Daily Fix: June 19, 2013
Yesterday was Wil Myers/Zack Wheeler day. At least the hurler held up his end of the bargain as he got off his big league career to a nice start. Prospects are always exciting at all levels of fantasy baseball, but particularly on the daily side of the coin. They always start off at rock bottom prices, but as we have seen with Yusiel Puig, that doesn’t last long.
Today, I’m playing...

Zack Wheeler impresses in MLB debut, justifies optimism
ATLANTA -- When former MLB pitcher Steve Kline made his major league debut in April 1997, he elevated his eyes to take in the lights and fans and noise of Oakland-Alemada County Stadium and the initial effects were of the nauseating variety. Big league debuts are rarely easy. According to Kline's star pupil in Low-A ball, he threw up off the back of the mound.
So as that star...

Mets Wheeler Scintillating Against Punchless Braves
The Mets completed a day/night double header sweep with 6-1 victory over the Braves. The Mets and Braves completed 3 baseball games all within 24 hours, something that does not happen often. The Braves saw 2 pieces of the Mets future today as they saw Matt Harvey in game 1, and Zack Wheeler (1st Start) in game 2. Both pitchers did not disappoint. Harvey has been stellar this...
Zack Wheeler Lives Up To Hype
Zack Wheeler is here, so the New York Mets might as well get a real good look under his hood to see how the gears in his gut work.
The Mets believe they have another young star pitcher in their midst, but were on verge of watching a scoreless debut unravel. At the time, a Mets’ 6-1 victory and doubleheader sweep of the first-place Braves seemed highly unlikely.
WHEELER: Wins debut...
The Future Is Here: Six Scoreless In Wheeler’s MLB Debut
It was a day of introductions for Zack Wheeler — we were introducted to our top pitching prospect and the young Wheeler was introduced to the anemic Mets offense. It was easy to tell that he had the jitters throughout the entire game, as the control was off throughout his six innings of work, but the stuff was there in full. And when I say the stuff was there — believe me, it...
Mets’ Harvey Not Motivated By Wheeler Promotion
Don’t buy for a second Matt Harvey’s scintillating start this afternoon had anything to do with the attention piled onto Zack Wheeler. The New York Mets have been saying one of Harvey’s signature attributes is his focus. Harvey said the same thing with his “24-hour rule,’’ in which he gives himself a day to think about his performance, good or bad.
In doing so, he...
