A-Rod’s bizarre game-ending pop-up to Luis Castillo needs a deep rewind
New York City is synonymous with baseball. The city’s two major league teams, the New York Yankees and the New York Mets, have only ever faced off once before for the championship in the 2000 World Series, known as the Subway Series, and the Yankees won in a landslide victory. After the 2000 series, the […]
Luis Severino still roots for Yankees pals from Queens
MIAMI — Coach Luis Severino expects to be booed a lot when he returns to Yankee Stadium on Tuesday for the first time in an opponent’s uniform. That’s understandable for the Mets ace, but he also pointed out Monday that his personality hasn’t completely changed just because he now plays his home games in Queens […]
Yankees keeps making Luis Severino’s jab seem spot on
If the monsoon lasted a month, the 1948 Boston Braves would have [Warren] Span [Johnny] Signed in rotation. But it could rain for 40 days and 40 nights, and seven batters in the Yankees’ lineup, other than Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, will have to step up to the plate. It’s the quiet things people […]
Luis Severino dominates as Mets beat Marlins in close call
MIAMI — Luis Severino needs to disappoint more often. After learning he would not be able to play against the Yankees in the Subway Series last month, the Mets right-hander had his best performance of the season against the Cubs. And on Saturday, the Mets will start left-handers Jose Quintana and Sean Manaea instead against […]
Aaron Boone goes to bat for Yankees after Luis Severino’s dig on lineup
The Yankees scored six runs on Friday night to give them an MLB-high 494 runs this season. Still, when Luis Severino said (jokingly) that the Yankees’ offense was comprised of Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and not much else, it’s hard to argue with the way they’ve been playing recently. In Friday’s 6-1 win over Tampa […]
Luis Severino throws shade at former Yankees teammates who ‘talked s–t’
MIAMI — Luis Severino won’t be playing against the Yankees in the upcoming Subway Series, so he instead pitched hard against his former team on Friday. The Mets right-hander, who didn’t even face the Yankees at Citi Field last month after manager Carlos Mendoza reshuffled the rotation to start two left-handers, said he is in […]
St. John’s RJ Luis putting shin split troubles behind him after surgery

Luis Gil earns win for Yankees as slider adjustment pays off
BALTIMORE — Just in time for the All-Star break, Luis Gil is pitching like an All-Star again. The right-hander started the season with an impressive 14-game stretch before a three-game stretch that was bad enough to cost him a spot in the Midsummer Classic in Texas this week, but he closed out the first half […]
Luis Torrens delivers latest all-around effort since joining Mets
The Mets have one of the best pitching staffs in the league, but the pitching isn’t coming from the pitchers. Enter Luis Torrens, a 28-year-old catcher with a powerful right arm. Even better, the Mets acquired him from the Yankees for cash only. “You can count on him to provide quality at-bats, but he also […]
Ron Darling rips Luis Severino for ‘inexcusable mistake’ by Mets
On Wednesday night, the Mets made the bad moments even worse. After Luis Severino allowed a tying single to the Nationals’ Juan Yepes in the top of the fourth inning of a game the Mets eventually won 6-2, the starting pitcher failed to cover home plate and catcher Francisco Alvarez, allowing another run to score […]
