In his first four plate appearances, Aaron Judge saw a total of two strikes. In his fifth plate appearance, the Yankees captain swung the bat once. That one time — a foul ball on a middle-of-the-plate changeup — probably represented the Yankees’ best chance at stealing a Subway Series game….
MIAMI — Christian Scott’s penchant for getting burned by one pitch has deflated otherwise solid numbers for the Mets. On Sunday that pitch occurred in the fourth inning, when Jazz Chisholm Jr. blasted a three-run homer against the rookie. It was the eighth homer allowed by Scott in 47 ¹/₃…
MIAMI — Jeff McNeil’s big night was a welcome sign for the Mets on Friday, eliciting hope that for a second straight year a post-All Star break turnaround is awaiting the veteran utilityman. Not as encouraging was Sean Manaea’s pitching performance. The Mets, in rallying to climb above .500, had…
The stunning Mets’ turnaround always goes back to May 30, the day of the infamous players’ meeting. As they have come alive since then, going 25-12 entering Friday to play their way back into the NL wild-card race, that airing-out among teammates has taken on a life of its own….
The last time Luis Severino threw this many innings in the majors was during his second All-Star season with the Yankees, way back in 2018. And after allowing eight or more hits in three of his last four outings, it was fair to wonder whether the workload was taking a…

CINCINNATI — Perhaps a game the Mets want to forget will be memorable for Luis Severino. The high-octane, high-upside and high-risk righty bounced back from a poor Mets debut — after a disastrous 2023 with the Yankees — in a solid second start of the season. Severino allowed two runs…
Mets fans clamoring for a look at the future will get their wish Sunday from Francisco Alvarez. Called up from Triple-A on Friday, Alvarez is expected to be the starting catcher Sunday against the Marlins, manager Buck Showalter revealed Saturday before Tomas Nido made his second straight start behind the…
Major League Baseball had the best laboratory to test potential new rules: the minor leagues. And the league used the minors to do just that the past few seasons. MLB officials could take a pitch clock or larger bases or elimination of extreme shifts out for a test drive not…
MIAMI — Some things thought of while wondering why the replay man keeps getting it wrong, and sometimes also takes forever before dispending his/her misjudgment. Pete Alonso may or may not be the Mets’ best all-around player. But he has to be their most indispensable player. Alonso was walked his…
