Meet the Mets

The Mets took on the Pirates at Citi Field in a sloppy, error-filled game that saw the Mets nearly claw their way back to victory before continuing their losing ways.

Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue short and long, New York Times, Post, Daily News, MLB.com, Newsday, Bergen County Record.

Brandon Nimmo is a fan of Mickey Callaway.

Bobby Valentine thinks the Mets should trade Jacob deGrom.

The Mets’ defense was truly awful on Monday night.

Steve Popper says the Wilpons are the one constant throughout all the Mets’ problems.

Brandon Nimmo’s MRI came back negative, and he later ended up making a brief appearance in the Mets’ loss to the Pirates.

Tyler Bashlor was called up from Binghamton and pitched in Monday’s game. His fastball was lively, but he ended up giving up two runs.

Around the National League East
