New York, New York – The Los Angeles Dodgers showed a powerful punch for the second time in three games.

Francisco Alvarez’s ugly night won’t come with any Mets changes
Carlos Mendoza immediately put an end to this speculation. “Albie will play tomorrow,” the Mets manager said Wednesday after an 8-0 loss to the Dodgers in Game 3 at Citi Field.

Carlos Mendoza’s priorities are in the wrong place with Mets’ season on edge
This season, and especially the past four-and-a-half months, has been about fun, character, and the never-ending feel-good atmosphere that invaded the Mets' clubhouse around June 1 and never let go.

Francisco Alvarez has been the Mets’ missing postseason threat
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza sat on a podium at Citi Field and expressed confidence that Francisco Alvarez would return to form in the postseason. So far, nothing like that has happened. The Mets have won two series, but the young catcher has struggled offensively. And with the series tied at 1-1, the NLCS against a […]
Mets’ J.D. Martinez poised to make 1st start of NLCS vs. Dodgers
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza suggested Tuesday that J.D. Martinez appears ready to get his first taste of the NLCS on Wednesday when the series moves to Queens. “There's a good chance he'll be in the lineup tomorrow,” Mendoza said during the Mets' practice at Citi Field. “He's a professional hitter and means a lot to […]
The Mets’ fallback options with crucial Kodai Senga decision looming
The Mets' Game 5 plans are still a work in progress. Luis Severino will pitch in Game 3 on Wednesday. Jose Quintana will play in Game 4 on Thursday. In Game 1, where the Mets lost 9-0 to the Dodgers, Kodai Chiga, who gave up two runs in the first inning, came off the mound, […]
