Writes about New York Mets and its farm teams, a fan when Casey Stengel managed the team and Ron Swoboda played right field — @SABR and @IBWAA member

Brett Baty’s grand slam was the first of his career and the third this season by a Mets batter.

Since 1962, 1,412 different players have pitched for the New York Mets—more than every team except the Texas Rangers, who have used 1,457.

A single doesn't help a team as much as a homer, but how do #baseball analysts measure the difference?

The answer is "run value," one of the more important ideas in baseball analytics.

Learn how it works and why it changed how we evaluate offense. #MLB

The #Mets have a power shortage. Only two MLB teams have just one player with 15 or more home runs this season: the Blue Jays and the Mets. #LGM #MLB

[metbaseball @metbaseball]

How do you explain that in 2026 only one #Mets player is hitting above .270?

My best guess is that it’s a combination of poor roster construction and underperformance.

What’s yours?

The Amazins’ have driven in 140 fewer runs than the Washington Nationals. That’s amazing—in the wrong way.

Someone should remind the Mets that “prevent runs from scoring” applies to the other team.

The #Mets have traded A.J. Minter to the #Twins for their’ #21 and #29 prospects in MLB’s 2026 prospect rankings. Disappointed that’s the best the Mets could get for an experienced reliever who posted a 2.35 ERA with 20 strikeouts and just two walks in 23 games this season. #LGM

Mitch Voit’s promotion to Double A ball didn’t intimidate him. Batting leadoff, he had three extra-base hits, including two doubles and a triple in his Binghamton debut. #Mets #LGM

@sports_lamb @UnderdogMLB Why? He’s 3-6 with a 5.05 ERA?

[metbaseball @metbaseball]

If the #Mets are able to trade Freddy Peralta back to the #Brewers, which Brewers prospects would you want in return? #LGM

[metbaseball @metbaseball]

The #Mets delivered a game worth watching, reminding fans what has been missing for much of this disappointing season—and offered a glimpse of what this team could still become. #LGM #MetsSky

The #Mets' identity problem goes beyond wins and losses. They have talent and resources, but they lack the unifying force that gives a team its personality, confidence, and resilience. #LGM

[metbaseball @metbaseball]

@SNY_Mets Haven’t you been doing that? What’s going to be different?

[metbaseball @metbaseball]

@NYM_News A key factor in the Mets’ identity loss was their failure to re-sign Jose Iglesias.

[metbaseball @metbaseball]

@SleeperMets @JonHeyman Why?

[metbaseball @metbaseball]

@SNY_Mets What about doing what’s in the best interest of the fans?

[metbaseball @metbaseball]

Why is it so hard for this #Mets team to win games?

[metbaseball @metbaseball]

In 2026, the #Mets need to upgrade their team’s fielding skill. In 2025, 51 #MLB players had an OAA about 5. Not one was a Met! #LGM

[metbaseball @metbaseball]

GM Stearns said Mendoza will manage the #Mets next year. Do you agree with that decision? #LGM

[metbaseball @metbaseball]

The 2025 #Mets staged one of the worst collapses in #MLB history. A team that soared 21 games above .500 unraveled into mediocrity. The 2026 Mets must be built differently. #LGM
