Four weeks into the 2022 season, we’re starting to get a clearer picture of the Major League Baseball landscape. Teams have played roughly 13 percent of their schedules with another jam-packed weekend in the books. Sample sizes are getting larger and hope is being gained or lost by fan bases across baseball.
As teams travel to start a new week, we wanted to recap the weekend with some of the best moments from the last three days in baseball, as well as what’s on deck this coming week.
Highlight of the Weekend
We had an easy call last weekend with Miguel Cabrera’s 3,000th hit and we have another easy call this weekend. Friday night the Mets threw the first no-hitter of the 2022 season and the second no-hitter in franchise history. Five pitchers — Tylor Megill, Drew Smith, Joely Rodríguez, Seth Lugo, Edwin Díaz — combined to strike out 12 Phillies in the no-hit effort.
“How often do you see a no-hitter? It’s like seeing a white buffalo or a unicorn,” Mets first baseman Pete Alonso told reporters, including MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo. James McCann caught the no-hitter and added: “It’s something that (will) be in history forever. Whether it’s one pitcher or five pitchers, it’s a no-hitter. It’s just special.”
The Mets lead the NL East and their rotation has been dominant even without Jacob deGrom and the lineup has been productive top to bottom. It’s a little too early in the season to say a team has a “special” feeling, but if any team is giving off those vibes in 2022, it’s the Amazin’ Mets.
