🚨 Episode 200 is LIVE 🚨 The Mets are coming off a very tough week. Not only were they swept by the Rays at home, but they lost ACE Kodai Senga to injury for at least FIVE WEEKS. The 5.5 game lead on the Phillies is down to 2.5. Did the Rays expose the Mets pitching by tacking on 24 runs over three games? There are plenty of truths to speak on but also a few lies.

Mets THRIVE at HOME + Subway Series THIS WEEKEND - Episode195-TilMetsDoUsPart

🚨 Episode 195 is LIVE 🚨 John Saponaro is back this week, but Matt Ibanez is out. Fortunately, pinch hitting for Ibby is co-host of the Shea N Sons Podcast, Keef! The Mets had another interesting week. Despite taking 2 of 3 from both the first place Cubs, and the lowly Pirates, it seems like the Mets aren't firing on all cylinders right now. The offense, in particular, continues to struggle with runners in scoring position (RISP). With this officially being a trend across multiple seasons, is i...

Mets Bats in QUESTION + MORE INJURIES- Episode194-TilMetsDoUsPart

Injuries are climbing in the lineup and bullpen. Does New York have the depth to hang on? Lets get into it! John Saponaro and Matt Ibanez are BACK with another episod...

Mets Drop the Series to the Lowly Twins #Mets #LGM

Good morning, Mets fans! I’m John from ‘Til Mets Do Us Part, and it’s time for the ‘Til Mets Morning Minute, where we talk as quickly as possible about the biggest stories from the New York Mets. The Minnesota Twins are a bad baseball team. They play sloppy, they don’t have as many quality players as the Mets do throughout the roster, and they’re dealing with a lot of injuries. Yet, somehow the Mets managed to lose a series to them this week, including the first back-to-back losses the Mets have...

Where is the Mets offense?-Episode191-TilMetsDoUsPart

🚨 Episode 191 is LIVE 🚨 The Mets are winning series and are near the top of the NL East. The crazy thing is they aren't even clicking on all cylinders! Offense is still up and down. The identity of the team is still a question mark. The tides could be changing though! Juan Soto is heating up?! Maaaaaybe not.... Luisangel Acuna is gaining the lead at 2b over Brett Baty. This team is one of the NL's BEST and they STILL have another level they can reach! Let's talk about it! John Saponaro and Mat...

The Mets Take Care of Business in the Twin Cities! #LGM #Mets #MetsBaseball

On a cold, windy, rainy night in Minnesota, the Mets picked up a tidy 5-1 victory over the lowly Twins. While none of Clay Holmes first few outings have been quite as dominant as his efforts in Spring Training, you can see the makings of an excellent starting pitcher. He picked up his second win of the season, going 5 innings, with 2 walks, 2 hits and 8 strikeouts. For a moment, he looked like the wheels were about to come off in the 5th, after a walk, a hit by pitch, a wild pitch and a 2nd walk...

Mets Take 2 of 3 from the A's in Sacramento #LGM #Mets

After another series win, the Mets are the only team in the league who hasn't lost 2 games in a row to this point. The offense started slow, but came on late. They were held scoreless thru 5.2, before putting up 8 runs in the final 3.1 innings. Vientos, Baty and Acuña all got involved in the offense, which was great to see. The Mets added a fluke run on an odd balk call by the 3B umpire on A's reliever José Leclerc -- whatever man, just take the runs. Kodai Senga was terrific. Not only was he th...

Mets bats go from hot to cold, as the A's even the series in West Sac #LGM #metsbaseball #Mets #metsfans

Busy couple of days, but I missed you guys! Since our last Morning Minute, the Mets wrapped up a 5-1 home stand before winning their first game in Sacramento v. the A's. Last night, however, the bats went cold again and the Mets were on the losing side of another frustrating game. The offense continues its cycle of boom or bust, with barely anything in between. David Peterson was sharp, but the 2 runs he gave up, were ultimately all the A's needed tonight. The Mets made some noise in the 9th aga...

🚨 Episode 190 is LIVE 🚨 The Mets finally got back to Citi Field this past week and the ENERGY was through the roof! It looks as though the team is starting to find a groove and the fans definitely added to the success! Where does credit belong? How about the RED HOT Pete Alonso? Or the Bullpen being the BEST in BASEBALL at the moment? The early returns are looking strong for our New York Mets, but some questions still remain. Let's talk about it! John Saponaro and Matt Ibanez are BACK with ano...

Mets Make it 6 Wins in a Row! #LGM #Mets #MetsBaseball

After a pitcher's duel resulted in a 2-0 shutout of the Marlins the night before, the Mets offense is unleashed for a 10-5 victory. They win their sixth straight ballgame, remain undefeated at home, and look to sweep the homestead today. While Holmes pitched much better than his line would indicate, and Brazobán was bit by the wind blowing out, it was nice to see the offense pick up the pitching today, after the pitching had carried this team thru the first week of the season. #LGM #Mets #MetsBa...

The Mets sweep the Blue Jays! #LGM #MetsBaseball #Mets

What more could you ask for than a sweep in the first home series of the season? The Mets and Blue Jays played a quick, old school kinda game on Sunday, with New York picking up a narrow 2-1 victory. David Peterson started and was good, though he didn't last long, only 4.2 innings. He was relieved by Max Kranick, Reed Garrett, AJ Minter and Edwin Díaz, all of whom were excellent. The Mets bullpen has the lowest ERA in baseball (and their entire pitching staff, including the starters, boasts the ...

Mets Walk Off the Blue Jays! #LGM #Mets #MetsBaseball

On a cold and rainy night for baseball, the Mets picked up an inspiring late-inning win, reminiscent of the latter half of the 2024 season. Former Met Chris Bassitt kept the Mets lineup off balance for most of the game. Griffin Canning matched him stride for stride early, but ultimately his pitch count got him out of the game with no outs recorded in the 5th. The Mets bullpen was solid once again, with Butto only allowing one run, but the star was Huascar Brazobán. He pitched 2.1 scoreless innin...

The Mets Shut Out the Blue Jays in the Home Opener!

The Mets have a knack for winning on both Opening Day, and their home opener, and that trend continued yesterday with a shutout victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Unlike the previous game, New York played well on offense and defense, while the great pitching performances continued. Tylor Megill looked great in 5.1, before giving way to the trio of Reed Garrett, A.J. Minter and Max Kranick. The offense was again paced by Pete Alonso, this time with a 2-run home run in the first -- a swing that e...

The Mets Defeat the Marlins 6-5, to Pick Up Their First Series Win! #LGM #Mets #MetsBaseball

It was an ugly, UGLY game, but the Mets snuck out of South Florida with a win. The box score won't look good in most cases, but a win is a win. Pete Alonso continues his clutch start, with his game-tying 3-run homer. Torrens pinch hits late and provides TWO game-saving plays on defense. With that, the Mets are a dead even 3-3, as they head back to New York for the home opener on Friday! #LGM #Mets This is a public episode.

The Mets Bats Nearly Put Me to Sleep #LGM #Mets #Metsbaseball

After an offensive outburst the night before, the Mets' bats went quiet again. Senga pitched good, at times, his stuff looked great, put it wasn't quite good enough. In his first start back after the birth of his son, Francisco Lindor had a very uncharacteristic 2-error game. Max Kranick looked GREAT again in relief, as the Marlins even the series at one win apiece. Rubber match is later on today. Can the Mets take the series win? This is a public episode.

Mets Bats Come Alive in Miami! #mets #LGM #Miami

After only scoring 5 runs in 3 games in Houston, the Mets' offense turns things around in a big way to open the series in Miami. The Mets scored 10 runs, on 11 hits and 4 home runs -- with every player in the starting lineup getting at least 1 hit. Their good pitching performances continued, this time from David Peterson and Huascar Brazobán, who combined for 8 IP and 2 R on just 6 hits, with 11 Ks. The Mets even their early season record to 2-2. This is a public episode. If you would like to di...
