Great way to start the weekend. After last year’s home opener loss, the Mets win this year in great fasion. A shutout over the Blue Jays 5 – 0. Also add that win to the overall best home opener total in all MLB with a record of 42 – 22 and the the 13th time they had a shutout. Excellent pitching all around. MeGill was outstanding. Going 5.1 innings 2 hits, 0 runs, 3 BB and 4ks. In the two games he has pitched he is 2-0 10ks 0.87 era and a 0.87 WHIP. Absolutely can’t complain. Bull Pen outstanding as well allowing no run. Still early but if he and others continue to pitch like this, those, ” this team has no pitching ” ” Stearns did nothing” is debunked. Will be great when manea and others comeback. Offense even with the 4 hits did its job. All lead by the Cluth Pete Alonso and his 2 run dinger. Gets the game winning hit basically. Nimmo with some hits and one run for insurance. As well as marte and Soto with a big double and rbi. Lindor still quiet but got a nice double. No one should worry as this is the norm. Let him do what he is doing. Once he gets hot and the rest of the team hets going, this team which some again have said ” won’t have much offense even with Soto ” looks like that team can be debunked and be in top categories on the NL and maybe MLB. That with pitching too. We shall see. Let’s go Mets! Trust the Process.. Everyone happy all around…
Absolutely electric way to kick off the weekend and erase the sting of last year’s home opener loss. The Mets came out in dominant fashion, shutting out the Toronto Blue Jays 5-0 and putting on a clinic in front of a fired-up home crowd. This win doesn’t just boost early-season momentum—it adds to the Mets’ already impressive home opener record, pushing it to a league-best 42-22. Even more impressive, it marks the 13th time the Mets have shut out an opponent in a home opener, the most in all of baseball. History, dominance, and a whole lot of promise.
The story of the day, without a doubt, was the pitching. Tylor Megill was lights out—cool, composed, and absolutely dialed in. He went 5.1 innings, allowing just 2 hits, no runs, walked three, and struck out four. Through two starts this season, Megill is now 2-0 with a jaw-dropping 0.87 ERA and a 0.87 WHIP. That kind of command and poise early on is exactly what the team needs. And the bullpen? Flawless. Not a single run allowed. This kind of depth and efficiency starts to quiet all the noise from the offseason—the doubters who questioned the Mets’ pitching staff and pointed fingers at David Stearns. If Megill and others keep this up, those “no pitching” takes will age like milk.
Even with just four hits on the board, the offense got the job done. Pete Alonso was clutch as ever, launching a two-run bomb that would ultimately prove to be the game-winner. It’s performances like that which solidify why he’s the heartbeat of this offense. Brandon Nimmo also did his part, collecting some hits and crossing the plate for insurance. Starling Marte and Juan Soto came through with key contributions as well, Soto ripping a crucial double that brought in a run. Lindor may still be finding his rhythm, but he added a sharp double—exactly the kind of quiet contribution that shows he’s not far from heating up. Mets fans know the drill: Lindor starts slow, then takes off. No need to panic there.
Once the bats get fully going and guys like Manaea and others return to fortify the rotation, this team has the potential to not just compete but thrive in both the NL and possibly even the league overall. That preseason narrative of a team lacking offense—even with Soto in the lineup—is looking shakier by the day. The talent is here, the pieces are in place, and if this pitching holds, the Mets could find themselves near the top of several leaderboards.
So here we are. A shutout win. Elite pitching. Timely hitting. Vibes through the roof. Citi Field rocking. The process is showing signs of paying off. To the doubters: keep that energy, we’ll circle back later. For now? Let’s enjoy this one, keep stacking wins, and ride the momentum. Let’s Go Mets! Trust the process.
