Worrisome Trends Continue For The Mets With A Familiar Sweep In Atlanta

ATLANTA, GA - JUNE 19: Atlanta Braves Mascot Blooper sits on the field with New York Mets first ... More baseman Pete Alonso #20 prior to the MLB game between the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves on June 19, 2025 at TRUIST Park in Atlanta, GA. (Photo by Jeff Robinson/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) Turns out we didn't have to worry at all about the Mets' DNA changing with the signing of Juan Soto. They're still New York's quirkier and more fun alternative to the ever-staid Yankees. Citi Field is still the Big Apple's more joyful baseball venue. And even with Soto, the Mets are still prone to traveling a rollercoaster of dizzying highs and lows — especially lows experienced in Atlanta. The Mets once again went all Barney knocking over the pancake syrup this week, when they were swept by the Braves in Atlanta for approximately the 700th time since the teams became division rivals in 1994. OK, fine, it's only 17 times. But that's a whole lot of sweeps, starting July 3-5, 1998 — fewer than two months into the Mike Piazza Era and more than three months before Soto was born — and going through last night, when Soto collected his 1,000th career hit in the Mets' 7-1 loss. The sweep by the Braves, coupled with the Phillies taking three of four from the Marlins, dropped the Mets into a tie for first with their brotherly love foes heading into this weekend's series in Philadelphia. The Mets led the Phillies by 5 1/2 games just eight days ago, which is a bends-inducing descent that might even make the 2007 Mets wince. 'It's definitely not ideal, I think we know that,' Clay Holmes said Thursday night. For the Mets, the concerns are more of the immediate variety than the historical kind. The Braves might use this sweep as a jumping off point to once again topple the Mets at the wire — they are the Braves, after all! But all Atlanta did this week was save its season. The Braves are 34-39, 10 games behind the Mets and Phillies, and closer to last place in the NL East (five games ahead of the Marlins) than to the last wild card spot (5 1/2 games back of the Padres). The Mets are in a much better short-term spot, but with no shortage of accompanying worries now that their foundational cracks are spreading at a worrisome pace. Since the last time the Mets won a game, they've placed two-fifths of their starting rotation on the injured list and lost reliever Max Kranick to an elbow injury. The initial replacements for Kodai Senga and Tylor Megill are Paul Blackburn, who has a 6.92 ERA in four games this season, and Blake Tidwell, who has a 4.58 ERA in seven games at Syracuse since losing his big league debut May 4. The next candidate to fill Megill's spot is likely Frankie Montas, who posted a 12.05 ERA during his rehab. Even by Mets standards, they from having too much pitching to wondering if Adam Wilk might be available for a spot start awfully fast. The remainder of the staff, outside of the still-ascending David Peterson and closer Edwin Diaz, is starting to show some wear and tear as well. Holmes, who exited with a 5-1 lead last Friday after five innings and 79 pitches in his first post-Coors Field start and six batters Thursday night, might be feeling the effects of reaching a career-high in innings before the first day of summer. Griffin Canning has a 6.75 ERA in his last five outings. The Mets still have the best ERA in the majors at 3.08, but their month-by-month ERAs are creeping up — from 2.64 in March and April to 3.15 in May and 3.76 so far in June. 'The starting pitching right now — they've been so good the whole year, pretty much carried us all the way to this point,' Carlos Mendoza said. 'You lose a couple guys that were consistently throwing the ball well and some of the other guys (have) a couple of bad outings — it happens, we're gong through a stretch right now.' The Mets have been particularly hot and cold on offense. With 29 homers in June — a month that began with nine wins in 11 games and sweeps of the Rockies and Nationals — the Mets are one round-tripper shy of matching their total for May. Yet they have scored five runs and been blanked twice in their last four games. The Mets are hitting .223 with runners on base, which would be the lowest such average in team history — even worse than the 1962 and 1963 teams, each of whom hit .226 in those situations. The Mets are also hitting .216 with runners in scoring position, which would be the lowest figure for the team since the strike-shortened 1981 season. The numbers get drastically worse upon subtracting the production of Pete Alonso, who is batting .319 with runners on and .338 with runners in scoring position. Without Alonso, the Mets' averages drop to .208 and .198, respectively. Good thing they finally re-signed him! To be fair to the Mets, extremes are built into the modern game. The Yankees were shut out in three straight games this week and scored seven runs in the seven games prior to Thursday's 7-3 win over the Angels. 'Really, all it takes is winning one game,' Brandon Nimmo said Thursday night. 'And the you win another one and it's a winning streak. It happens quickly.' But maybe not as quickly as the Mets would prefer. The only other opponent that's swept the Mets at home as many as 10 times since the 1994 realignment is…that's right, the Phillies, who send old friend Zack Wheeler to the mound tonight.

Here Are A Dozen Candidates To Succeed Braves Mgr. Brian Snitker

Cox/Getty Images) Win, lose, or draw, Brian Snitker's contract expires after this season. An Atlanta Braves organization man since signing as a minor-league catcher in 1977, he has taken his team to post-season play seven straight years and won a World Series. At age 70, however, he might be ready for retirement – albeit to an advisory role under baseball operations chief Alex Anthopoulos. The decision will be his but could be forced by the disappointment of a season in which the Braves went 0-7 at the start and have still have lost more games than they won. Should Snitker return, 2026 would be his 50th season in the organization. And the choice is his. He earns a reported $4 million per year – one of the highest salaries among the 30 major-league managers – though terms of the extension that takes him through this season were not announced. Considering the stress of losing – the Braves lead the majors in one-run losses – the stoic manager might be ready to hang up his uniform. If that happens, there's no shortage of potential replacements, though Snitker's big shoes could be hard to fill. Here are 10 possible candidates: Third base coach Fredi Gonzalez is a past and perhaps future manager of the Atlanta Braves. (Photo ... More by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) Here are 10 possible candidates: 1. Fredi González – If the Braves do not hesitate to re-hire a man they fired in 2016, Gonzalez could be first in line. He won the NL East title with the Braves in 2013, finishing first once and second three times during a four-year span. The bilingual Havana native previously managed the Marlins and is known as an affable, media-friendly guy. His lifetime record as manager is 710-692 (.506 winning percentage). 2. Walt Weiss – Another former manager, this Suffern, NY native has bided his time as bench coach for Snitker since his hiring in 2018. The former shortstop was with the team through its string of six straight NL East titles. He previously managed the Colorado Rockies. 3. Chipper Jones – If he's willing to work for much less money than he made as a player and also willing to endure the rigors of travel again, this Hall of Fame third baseman might be the logical first choice. He's served as part-time batting instructor, offering his experiences as a switch-hitter who not only made contact but also hit for power. 4. Terry Pendleton – Like Jones, he played third base for the Braves, won a batting crown, and has a coaching background. Highly respected by both teammates and rivals, Pendleton lacks experience as a manager. But so does Jones. 5. Eddie Perez – A former backup catcher who's been a long-time Braves coach, Perez has the same bilingual advantage as Gonzalez. He was the surprise MVP of the 1999 NLCS against the Mets. 6. David Ross – Another former Braves backstop, Ross was around most recently as manager of the Chicago Cubs. 7. Bud Black – Fired earlier this year after his hapless Colorado Rockies couldn't buy a win, this former pitcher still commands respect from both teammates and rivals. 8. Ron Washington – At 74, he's the oldest active manager. But his Angels contract expires this fall and he'd love to return to Atlanta, where he served as third base and infield coach. Known for endless patience in hitting pre-game practice grounders to his infielders, Washington won two pennants as manager of the Texas Rangers. 9. Bo Porter – Before becoming a coach with Washington's Angels, Porter piloted the Houston Astros for two years. Like Washington, he'd be one of the few active black managers. 10. Willie Randolph – So would Randolph. The manager of the Mets for almost four years, this former second baseman was a star player for the Yankees. If he can handle the New York pressure-cooker, he surely can survive in Atlanta. 11. Joe Maddon – He'll forever be remembered as the innovative and unorthodox manager who guided the Chicago Cubs to a once-in-a-lifetime world championship in 2016. Age could be a detriment, though, as Maddon is now 70. Maddon, who also managed the Tampa Bay Rays, has been a broadcaster in recent seasons. 12. Buck Showalter – He's taken four teams to the playoffs but never won a pennant. Known as a no-nonsense manager, he might need to modify his past methodology. At 68, he might welcome a last hurrah with a solid veteran team.

Raleigh homers twice, breaks Bench's record in the Mariners' 9-4 victory over the Cubs

CHICAGO (AP) — Cal Raleigh broke Johnny Bench's record for home runs by a catcher before the All-Star break, hitting his major league-leading 28th and 29th in the Seattle Mariners' 9-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday. Raleigh broke a tie in the seventh with No. 29 to move ahead of Hall of Famer Bench's 1970 mark. Raleigh had three hits in his sixth multi-homer game of the season. Mitch Garver also homered twice and drove in five runs, putting it away with a three-run shot in the ninth. Randy Arozarena and Donovan Solano each had three hits to help Seattle win for the fifth time in seven games. The teams combined for six homers with the wind blowing out on a warm day when former Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa returned to Wrigley Field for the first time in over 20 years. Ian Happ homered in Chicago's three-run first inning, and Reese McGuire added a solo shot. Michael Busch had three hits and two RBIs as NL Central-leading Cubs dropped their second straight. Raleigh hit his go-ahead drive to the back of the left-field bleachers off Caleb Thielbar (2-2). Raleigh sent his first homer just over the basket in the first off Matthew Boyd. Eduard Bazardo (2-0) pitched a scoreless sixth for the win. Key moment Boyd made a dramatic catch of J.P. Crawford's comebacker for the final out in the top of the fifth. Boyd snared the liner at the last instant as it was headed for his face. Key stat Chicago's Pete Crow-Armstrong popped out softly three times and struck out a day after going deep and becoming the first player with 20 homers and 20 steals this season. Up next Seattle RHP Emerson Hancock (3-2, 4.48 ERA) was set to face RHP Cade Horton (3-1. 3.47) on Saturday. ___ AP MLB:
