- Mets lose "home" game 9-3. Why did the Red Sox squash the Mets yesterday? When your pitchers give up eight earned runs while your team crosses the plate only three times, it creates a losing situation. Worsening what happened was that the Mets had 13 runners in scoring position but were able to plate only three. Sound familiar? Full box score.
- Rosario hit by pitch on hand; X-rays negative by Anthony DiComo on mlb.com. In the article is this video:
- Mets lefthander Steven Matz sticks with curve even though it wasn't working by Tim Healey on newsday.com. The article begins with "His command lacking and confusion mounting, Steven Matz stuck with the pitch that wasn’t working Monday: his curveball." More from the article:
- Matz: “I kept wanting to keep going back to it because I didn’t like the way I was not commanding it,” Matz said. “Just kept going back to it, and that’s part of spring training. You got to use stuff now even if you don’t have it.”
- Healey: "His other pitches were fine, good enough for him [Matz] to call it 'a step in the right direction,' no matter the five hits, four runs and two walks."
- Callaway: “He was working on his craft and trying to get better.”
No surprise here, but Amed Rosario is relieved there's nothing broken in his hand. pic.twitter.com/xIxYyIYmJy— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) March 4, 2019
