The 2025 New York Mets are, usually talking, an excellent baseball workforce. The 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates are, objectively, a really unhealthy baseball workforce. These two details alone made the Pirates’ three-game weekend sweep — capped off with an emphatic 12-1 win on Sunday — unbelievable sufficient.
It isn’t what anyone anticipated going into the weekend, particularly with the Pirates not even throwing their greatest pitcher — Paul Skenes — in any of the video games.
However it’s not simply that the Pirates received three straight video games in opposition to the Mets, it is the way in which they received these video games, completely dominating in a manner that few groups have ever dominated one other opponent in a three-game collection.
Take, for instance, this sequence of numbers that no different workforce has ever matched in a three-game collection:
!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)
{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};
if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version=’2.0′;
n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;
t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,’script’,
