The Mets’ season-opening series finale against the Miami Marlins on Sunday has a little extra significance. New York is trying to take three of four from the Fish, but it’s also the MLB debut of Kodai Senga. His first inning of work was a shaky one. It included 36 pitches and Starling Marte making a … Continued
Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton got his second home run of the season with a tape measure shot to center field. Facing Giants righty Ross Stripling, Stanton’s home run cleared the batter’s eye. Statcast measured it 485 feet and 117.8 mph off the bat. The blast scored Anthony Rizzo and gave New York a 3-0 lead. … Continued
There is no more room at the FOX inn for Frank Thomas after Derek Jeter’s arrival. From The Post: With Derek Jeter in on Fox Sports’ biggest baseball pregame shows, Frank Thomas is officially out, The Post has learned. Thomas had been with Fox Sports for nearly a decade. He had been a part of … Continued
MLB’s regular season is a 162-game marathon that takes six months to complete. Sometimes, a divisional race is over well before the dog days of summer hit. Other times, every single game on the schedule is needed to determine a winner. If we had to guess, the National League East race will probably drag into … Continued
This is just getting mean now, folks. The Syracuse Mets entered the top of the ninth inning with a commanding lead thanks to some early-game fireworks. That wasn’t enough, though, because Francisco Alvarez and Mark Vientos provided a couple more with back-to-back home runs: Francisco Álvarez and Mark Vientos just hit home runs on back-to-back … Continued
If we’re being honest, Mets prospect Brett Baty had the best spring training out of any primary third baseman in Port St. Lucie. That’s a big reason why a good chunk of the fan base was annoyed by him getting optioned to Triple-A to start 2023. Considering the situation, it wasn’t overly surprising. The reasoning … Continued
Bryan Reynolds is not trying to build a wall between him and the Yankees after all. From MLB.com: The Pirates and outfielder Bryan Reynolds were near an agreement on what would be a franchise-record eight-year, $106 million contract extension (seven years, $100 million beginning in 2024), but a late request from Reynolds’s agents for an … Continued
Giancarlo Stanton extended the Yankees’ lead over the Giants on Saturday when his bullet over the right field wall made the score 2-0. Stan' you dig it? pic.twitter.com/mFWx71xM1n — New York Yankees (@Yankees) April 1, 2023 Statcast measured the home run’s exit velocity at 112.3 mph.
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe got his first career hit against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. Facing Alex Cobb, Volpe’s ball snuck under Brandon Crawford’s outstretched glove and into left field.

The second game of the Mets’ season involved a few things. New York and Miami combined for just three runs, with the Amazins getting defeated 2-1. There was plenty of solid pitching and defense to go around, though, including one particular play from second baseman Jeff McNeil. David Peterson was trying to work through a … Continued
Professional wrestling-related gag calls were a time-honored tradition during Mike Francesa’s solo years on WFAN. I still remember almost careening off the road in laughter when he was asked for his take on the Ultimate Warrior’s legacy. And now, with WrestleMania scheduled for this weekend, an intrepid listener decided to fire off an email for Francesa’s … Continued

The Pirates and star center fielder Bryan Reynolds — a player many teams, including the Yankees, are interested in — have hit a mysterious stalemate in contract talks. The two sides reportedly overcome a significant gap in salary to reach the goal line for what is expected to be the biggest deal in franchise history. … Continued

Baseball is officially back, which means the Mets’ Opening Day dominance continued this week. Even though the first day of the regular season brought unfortunate Justin Verlander injury news, there’s a lot to be excited about in Queens this year. Some people are so excited that they just can’t hold it in. It’s awesome when … Continued
It feels like yesterday, but this fall will be the 20th anniversary of the 2003 American League Championship Series. Which, in our somewhat-biased opinion, is the greatest postseason series that has ever been played. Nothing will ever top what the Yankees and Red Sox packed into that seven-game war — not even 2004. Now, you … Continued
The Knicks are facing an uphill battle the rest of the season and into the playoffs. Oddly enough, Julius Randle spraining his ankle and being out for the season (and maybe the first round of the playoffs) is only half of it. The Knicks are currently the No. 5 seed in the East and lead … Continued
Plenty of time has passed since Jacob deGrom officially decided his Mets tenure was complete. New York also did plenty to move on from the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner. But because of his (now) past connection to Queens, it’ll be impossible to just completely ignore what he does with the Texas Rangers. At … Continued
For the most part, the vibes were immaculate during yet another Mets Opening Day victory. Despite facing the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner in Sandy Alcantara, New York found a way to make him work and pile up enough runs to win. Alcantara faced Jeff McNeil with runners on the corners in the sixth … Continued
Go team! https://twitter.com/RepSantosNY03/status/1641550272085348354 “As a good old Mets fan, I know you guys aren’t going to be playing until April 6 back home,” disgraced serial liar and New York Rep. George Santos says in the video. “But here’s a good old fashioned ‘Lets go Mets.’” Uh, OK. Makes sense, we suppose, given Santos “represents” New … Continued
Remember when we said the Mets would need every bit of the perceived pitching depth they built up over the winter? That was (unfortunately) proven yet again on Thursday. Instead of preparing for his team debut, Justin Verlander is now on the injured list. It seems minor and precautionary, which provides some silver lining. However, … Continued
Let’s talk about retired uniform numbers. It’s a pretty significant honor for any professional athlete regardless of sport. One’s legacy is such that their number shall be taken out of circulation and never to be worn again. Be it great individual performance or several championships, or both, a select few earn this slice of immortality. … Continued
The Yankees have retired a bunch of numbers. Many would say too many, although we would argue that is an oversimplified take upon closer review. Nonetheless, the team’s glorious past has led to some logistical challenges in the present. As a result, the Bombers want to kill a mosquito with a sledgehammer. From The Athletic: … Continued
The Mets’ Opening Day dominance continued on Thursday. Despite getting unfortunate news about Justin Verlander hitting the injured list, New York went out and beat the Marlins 5-3 to begin their trek toward an undefeated season (I’m kidding). This particular contest had plenty of action, so I figured it’d be fun to put all of … Continued
The Yankees began their season with the best Opening Day possible: shutting out the Giants 5-0, plus an Aaron Judge home run. Thursday’s opener also marked the start of a new era in baseball. Pace of play was on full display from pitch clock to no shifting. There were actual plays and not just home runs, … Continued
Eric Adams is already a polarizing figure just from being the mayor of New York City. It’s a thankless job where the voters who put him in office probably curse his name on the daily. Well, Hizzoner just put himself in the crosshairs of every New Yorker and might have lost a handful of voters. … Continued
The Mets are preparing to face off against the Miami Marlins during Thursday’s Opening Day festivities. Justin Verlander won’t be partaking in the pomp and circumstance, but first baseman Pete Alonso will be. He made sure to turn heads with his gameday outfit, too: lmao what is Pete Alonso wearing pic.twitter.com/LHjOgbMUDA — Baseball Quotes (@BaseballQuotes1) … Continued
Gleyber Torres extended the Yankees’ lead against the Giants on Opening Day with an opposite field home run off of Logan Webb. GLEYBER TORRES TWO-RUN HOME RUN! pic.twitter.com/B1DZz3eaII — Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) March 30, 2023 Aaron Judge opened the scoring with a solo home run in the first inning. Torres’ homer gave the Yankees a … Continued
One of the biggest reasons why many thought Justin Verlander would be an upgrade over Jacob deGrom for the Mets was his durability. Sure, he missed virtually all of 2020 and 2021 because of Tommy John surgery. But still, he’s thrown at least 170 innings in a season 14 times since 2006. The dude is … Continued

The Mets are handing Max Scherzer the ball for their Opening Day matchup against the Miami Marlins. A couple of days later, one of New York’s biggest offseason acquisitions, Justin Verlander, will follow suit. With these two taking the hill every five days, a unique — and friendly, we’ll assume — competition will officially begin. … Continued

Anthony Volpe will soon take the field at Yankee Stadium as the Opening Day shortstop with plenty of friends and family among the roaring crowd.

Opening Day is always exciting. It’s a little extra exciting for Yankees fans this year, though. After all, nobody knew if Aaron Judge would be back with the club after the 2022 season concluded. And for a few moments in December, it looked like he was headed to the San Francisco Giants. But that was … Continued
I don’t enjoy sharing bad news, especially on Opening Day. But sometimes, the news cycle requires it. That’s the case with Mets reliever, Bryce Montes de Oca. The 26-year-old initially had his spring training cut short two weeks ago with a stress reaction in his elbow. Then, it was reported that he’d undergo arthroscopic surgery … Continued
Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo, and the Yankees are getting ready for Opening Day in the Bronx against the San Francisco Giants. None of them care about what Andrew Benintendi has to say about signing with the Chicago White Sox instead of New York this past offseason. That doesn’t mean we can’t point and laugh at … Continued
Anthony Volpe will wear No. 11 when he takes the field for the Yankees on Opening Day. But only after running it by the last man to wear it. Before Anthony Volpe agreed to wear #11 with the Yankees, he called Brett Gardner, who last wore 11, and asked for Gardner's blessing. According to Joe … Continued
We’ve finally made it, folks. MLB Opening Day 2023 is officially here and Mets baseball games (that count) are back! New York won’t say hello to the fans in Flushing until April 6th. But, things get kicked off Thursday afternoon in Miami against the Marlins. Here’s what the probable pitching matchups look like for the … Continued
Anthony Volpe may feel like the spiritual successor to Derek Jeter, but there is a long trail of others between the Yankees’ star rookie and their all-time great. Volpe will make his big league debut on Thursday, Opening Day, when he starts at shortstop for the Bombers against the Giants. The New Jersey native is, … Continued
The day we’ve been waiting for is finally here. MLB Opening Day 2023 has arrived, and the Yankees get to kick things off with Aaron Judge, Anthony Volpe, and friends in the Bronx against the San Francisco Giants. Here’s what the probable starting pitcher matchups are looking like for New York’s first regular-season series of … Continued
The Yankees have not won a World Series since 2009 and we’ve heard it all since, be it from radio pundits or the wrathful bunch that is #YankeesTwitter. Brian Cashman cares too much about analytics. The Yankees’ championship drought is reaching old Red Sox levels. Players X, Y, and Z need to be re-signed, released, … Continued
The New York Mets are no longer a punchline and have last year’s 101-win season to prove it. Anyone who’s been paying attention knows that the boys from Flushing aren’t simply running it back this year. A repeat performance just won’t do. That’s because the Mets’ annual late-season struggles came at the expense of the … Continued
And on Opening Day Eve, Anthony Volpe said, “Farewell, No. 77. Greetings, No. 11!” Alright, so that’s probably not how it went down at all, but even so. To say the Yankees’ star rookie didn’t turn a few heads when he switched his uniform number would be the understatement of the offseason. Instead, a small … Continued
Rejoice, Mets fans — it’s finally here. After a long offseason that included lots of spending from owner Steve Cohen, we finally get to see the Amazins and their record-breaking payroll hit the field in Miami at loanDepot park. What will 2023 bring for the Mets? We’ll find out in a few months as the … Continued
