Sean Manaea’s first game of the season revealed both promising and concerning aspects for the Mets
Sean Manaea’s Season Debut: A Mixed Bag Sean Manaea’s first appearance of the season went well, though perhaps not as well as he hoped.

Mets hurt by debatable choices in extra-inning defeat to Pirates
It didn’t take long for the Mets to face some tough questions after their first loss of the season.

I took on Citi Field’s 999 Challenge — and it felt very similar to watching the Mets.
The “999 Challenge” was a letdown. Citi Field aimed to hype the much-discussed challenge, where fans are meant to consume nine hot dogs and nine beers during nine innings.

Francisco Alvarez shines in all aspects on Opening Day for the Mets
Alvarez Shines in Mets Season Opener Francisco Alvarez had a solid showing as the Mets’ No. 9 hitter, expressing his support for the team’s discipline rather than worrying about his batting order placement. “When I saw the lineup, I thought, wow, what a strong group of hitters,” Alvarez shared via translator Alan Suriel, adding that […]
Freddy Peralta had varied outcomes in his first game with the Mets.
Freddy Peralta Struggles in Mets’ Season Opener Freddy Peralta had a less-than-stellar debut for the Mets, managing to avoid a walk but allowing two home runs during the game.
