Holmes Continues To Pitch Like One Of The National League’s Best

2 weeks ago | metsmerizedonline.com | Sam Neumann

Clay Holmes had to deal with two rain delays on Saturday. It didn’t matter. He threw 13 pitches before being sidelined by Mother Nature. He returned nearly 50 minutes later to finish the first inning with a scoreless frame. He’d only throw 57 more pitches on the afternoon, as the weather was really the only thing affecting him from going the distance. Holmes left his latest start of the season with a 2-0 lead.
Kodai Senga Continues Excellent Start To The Season

Kodai Senga would be the first to admit he didn’t have his sharpest stuff in Saturday’s 3-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. It wasn’t that the St. Louis Cardinals — now losers of three straight at Citi Field — batted him around the ballpark. But Senga’s signature forkball wasn’t missing bats like it usually does. He managed just four strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings, a far cry from the whiff-heavy outings he’s flashed before, like his dominant showing in West Sacramento.
Jesse Winker Plays Integral Role In Mets Comeback

Francisco Lindor joked postgame that someone might need to check on Jesse Winker’s hamstrings. Lindor delivered the walk-off sacrifice fly in the New York Mets’ 3–2 comeback win over the Blue Jays on Saturday, but it was his old buddy Winker who did the heavy lifting. Winker ripped a game-tying, two-run triple in the bottom of the eighth — his second triple of the night — to set the table for Lindor’s heroics.
Canning's Strong Debut Not Enough in Series Finale

Griffin Canning had faced the Houston Astros nine times before Saturday. None of those outings looked anything like this one. Coming into the game, Canning owned an ugly 0-3 record and a 6.69 ERA against the reigning American League West champions. Astros fans likely expected more of the same — another rough night for a pitcher they’d torched before. Instead, they ran into a version of Canning they’d never seen.

Holmes, Kranick Show First Blemishes Of Spring

1 month ago | metsmerizedonline.com | Sam Neumann

Turns out, Clay Holmes and Max Kranick are, in fact, mortal. Who knew? The latest success stories to emerge from the New York Mets’ highly touted pitching lab both have forced their way into the conversation this spring. Holmes has done more than just impress — he’s been tabbed as New York’s Opening Day starter. Meanwhile, Kranick has made a compelling case for one of the final bullpen spots, looking increasingly like a lock to break camp with the team.

David Peterson Turns In Another Strong Appearance

2 months ago | metsmerizedonline.com | Sam Neumann

David Peterson picked up right where he left off. After an impressive 2024 campaign — finally healthy after dealing with a hip ailment — the tall left-hander has emerged as one of the more reliable options in the New York Mets’ rotation. Sure, pitchers are typically ahead of hitters in spring training, but Peterson has now turned in back-to-back strong outings, giving Mets fans and the front office plenty of reason to feel optimistic about his role in a rotation full of question marks.

Blade Tidwell’s Immaculate Inning Punctuates Superb Apperance

2 months ago | metsmerizedonline.com | Sam Neumann

Blade Tidwell didn’t do what you think he did — but he also did. One of New York’s top pitching prospects struck out five batters over two innings in the Nee York Mets’ 10-2 spring training win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. And in the process, he put together an immaculate inning. There was some debate as to whether all nine strikes were swinging. It turns out they weren’t.
