So much has to go right for a major league team to play 162 games, win all of their playoff series and then four games in the World Series, against the other league's best team. Even more would have to go right for the Amazin' Mets. [bran

The Capital Region is filled to the brim with talent, and two talented Ian Anderson's crossed paths at an autograph signing this past weekend.

The Mets now sit on Monday two games behind the Braves with three games remaining in the regular season. The Mets have nobody to blame but themselves.

Friday night may have been the most important game of the 2022 regular season for the New York Mets, actually I think it is Saturday but we'll get to that later. Manager Buck Showalter re-arranged the pitching rotation to start Jacob deGrom in Game 1 in Atlanta, much like you will expect to see in the upcoming playoffs against whomever the Mets face, in whatever series they are in. However, there was much more on the line for deGrom and Mets owner Steve Cohen.

Ian Anderson’s season is most likely over after he suffered an oblique injury with the Triple-A Gwinnett team.

As the New Yorkers began to gather to commemorate the 21st anniversary of the horrific attacks on the city and the nation, a former Major League Baseball pitcher who became a police officer in New York City, was killed Sunday morning on his way to work. The assignment he was heading towards was the September 11th memorial ceremony in lower Manhattan.

Timmy Trumpet has become a viral sensation for the New York Mets and their fans, but a celebrity Mets' fan believes he's to blame for troubles in Queens.

The Mets currently lead the NL East by only a half of a game over the Atlanta Braves with just under one month left in the regular season.

The excitement of getting that call that you are going to the big leagues is pretty special. When you are lucky enough to have mom, dad and the family in the stands, well, that's pretty cool too. Then add in that you play for an organization in first place, trying to hold off the defending World Champions in their ballpark and you are starting at third base. Okay, the butterflies in your stomach are the size of horses.

It’s not Jacob deGrom or Max Scherzer, but Carrasco is a significant loss to the Mets starting rotation as they try and hold off Atlanta and win the NL East.

It’s been a struggle this season for Shen grad Ian Anderson, but a trip back down to Triple-A can only help fix his mechanics and get him back on track.

Baseball-Reference is the statistical bible for stats wizards. The website allows you to sift through a ton of factors to rank your favorite players, teams and leagues. We decided to take a look at the top 10 MLB players in 2022 that were born in New York. Where did Shenendehowa High School standout and current Atlanta Braves pitcher, Ian Anderson end up on the list? How about the newest New York Yankee from Bronxville, Harrison Bader? Let's find out!

Shen grad Ian Anderson got a much needed win on Saturday against the LA Angels. It’s been a struggle at times for Anderson this season.

True New York Mets fans hold their breath, wait for the next shoe to drop, etc, until about the second week in October. When that rare occurrence happens and their beloved team makes the playoffs, they will be generally satisfied and begin to enjoy the winning experience. Until that point, it's early and plenty of bad stuff can and has happened to this franchise.

Tom Glavine was a New York Mets' rival turned fan-favorite during his pitching career, and yet, was one decision away from never playing a game in the MLB.

Even when Ian Anderson didn’t have his best stuff, he found a way to beat the Mets on Wednesday at Citi Field.

Life is pretty good when you are a World Series champion in the city of Atlanta or any city for that matter! You are almost ensured the best seats in the house. When your old buddy from high school is the shooting guard for the local NBA team, well then you two have each other covered with those good seats!

World Series champion Ian Anderson will be signing autographs at the Clifton Park Senior Community Center in Clifton Park this Saturday, January 8th.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson of Rexford will be appearing for an autograph signing in Halfmoon on Saturday. One of the cool things about Anderson, not only was he part of the Braves World Series Championship, he was a star in the series. The Shenendahoah High School graduate is becoming one of the very best pitchers in baseball, so it may be a good time to meet him.

The awards, recognitions and hardware keep piling up for the 23 year old right-hander, Ian Anderson. The Shenendehowa High School graduate met with the media last Thursday. The tall, bearded World Champion greeted every person in the room with a humble handshake and a smile. One of the people in attendance was NYS Senator Jim Tedisco. Tedisco a former student-athlete himself, had a proclamation from New York State for the Atlanta Braves pitcher.

Clad in his Braves jersey, and a tan fedora, Rexford native Ian Anderson took to the streets of Atlanta, and celebrated his victory.

Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell had sealed the fate of the New York Yankees and New York Mets. They both was a great run while it lasted.

At 23 years, 186 days old, Rexford native and Atlanta Braves starting pitcher, Ian Anderson, is officially a Baseball Hall-of-Famer. Sort of.

Rooting for the home team As I die-hard Yankee fan, I was bummed when my Bombers lost to the Red Sox early in this year's MLB playoffs, but I was happy to turn my attention to Ian Anderson and the Atlanta Braves.  But last night, I'll be honest with you, I was actually rooting against the Braves.  Kinda crazy,...

Any baseball expert in the world would qualify 5 scoreless, and hitless, World Series innings as a major contribution to a team's championship. However, the Capital Region doesn't need any experts to tell them how special Ian Anderson is and neither do the Braves. Now, the player who grew up in Rexford and pitched for the Shenendehowa High School Plainsmen gets to flash some pretty incredible bling around town.

From the Clifton Park Babe Ruth League team, to Shenendehowa High School, to the Atlanta Braves, it's been a quick ascent to the top for Ian Anderson.

Fortunately for the New York Yankees, they had their lethal secret weapon in right field, Giancarlo Stanton. The big power hitter has been, for the most part, limited to the Designated Hitter role during his nearly four year stint in the Big Apple. Stanton was a solid outfielder in his years in Miami. In 2012, he won Wilson's Defensive Player of the Year. Now, for the past four weeks, Giancarlo has been a semi regular outfielder and it may be helping his hitting. Over Stanton's last 7 games, he is batting .400 with 3 homeruns and 8 RBI.

With the Braves now 4 games behind the Mets and the Phillies 3, game two took on crucial importance. The organization believes that starting pitching help is on the way in a few days, via trades, Carlos Carasco, etc. but that didn't help last night. New York's bullpen was called upon to pitch 7 innings and win...and win they did.

The Braves will be without one of their best pitchers, and the Capital Region will be without one of their biggest rooting interests, for some time.
