Ravens oddly named landing spot for former first-round QB
Could the Ravens add Anthony Richardson to their QB roster?

If you had any doubt about the 2026 Mets being a terrible baseball team, surely it was erased this afternoon as the team scored just one run across two games of a doubleheader against the Rockies at Citi Field. In the second game, the Mets were shut out, a recurring theme early of a season that feels like itâs ending right before our eyes even though the calendar hasnât yet turned to May.
As was the case in the first game of the doubleheader, the Rockies scored three runs, and it was once again more than enough as Colorado won by a 3-1 score. The fact that the Metsâ pitching staff only gave up three runs was a minor miracle, as Kodai Senga shit the bed for the third-straight start. He lasted just two-and-two-thirds innings, gave up three runs, struck out one, walked three, and allowed three hits. If not for admirable work by Carl Edwards Jr. in relief of him in the third, he mightâve been charged with more runs. And even with the assist that he got, Senga has a 9.00 ERA and looks like a pitcher who shouldnât be getting major league starts.
Edwards wound up pitching three-and-a-third innings without allowing any runs, and Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley, and Devin Williams each threw a scoreless inning. Youâd typically say that they kept the game within reach by doing so, but the Metsâ lifeless lineup really meant that three of the teamâs high-leverage relievers were simply able to get some work.
The Mets lost both games of the doubleheader, with the second game ending in a shutout and the first game at 3-1 in favor of the Rockies.
Kodai Senga was the starting pitcher for the Mets in the second game, lasting only two and two-thirds innings and allowing three runs.
The Mets' pitching staff allowed only three runs in the first game and did not give up any runs in relief appearances, but the team's offense failed to support them.

As for those Mets hitters, they had six hits on the day, only one of which went for extra bases. The team is not competitive, and itâs hard to imagine that will change. The Mets are 9-19. Their season is very likely over.
You could look back at what we were writing here just shy of two years ago and point out that itâs possible to turn a miserable season around. Itâs still only April, but barring a major turnaround, the Mets could get to mid-June with the worst record in baseball over the past twelve months. That is a massive failure for a team that spent over $300 million on its roster both last season and this.
Thankfully, the Mets are off tomorrow. Theyâll begin a three-game series against the Nationalsâtheir first series against a National League East opponent this yearâon Tuesday night at Citi Field. Tickets are still available.
