Brian Joura Mets 360: If you like
pitching and/or defense, this was not the game for you, as the Mets booted the
ball time and time again and the pitchers allowed 11 ER in a 16-4 loss that was
not as close as the score indicated.(subscription required).

Thosar NY Daily News: The Mets (7-6) committed four errors that led to five
unearned runs on Wednesday night. One of those mistakes belonged to J.D. Davis,
who made his third error in two days at third base, which represented the
turning point of the game. In the fourth inning, instead of turning an
inning-ending double play on a Javier Baez grounder right into his glove, the
ball fell out of his hands and trickled behind him, between his legs. By the time
he found the ball and fired a throw to second, it was too late.
Mike
Puma NY Post: Javier Baez put the exclamation on this night with a
sixth-inning grand slam against Trevor Hildenberger, extending the Cubs’ lead
to 14-4, but the Mets were sunk even before the inning started.
Metstradamus:
The highlight of the night was Luis Guillorme grinding out an 8 pitch at-bat
down by 12 runs in the ninth inning as the last out. Seriously, I love that
guy.

What's next. The Mets and Cubs square off again on Thursday night at 7:40 p.m.,
with Joey Lucchesi starting for the Mets against Cubs righty Trevor Williams.

This is the 135th time the Mets have committed four or more errors in a game. (They've played 9,337 games in franchise history, so it happens more than you might think: on average, roughly 2-3 times per season.)

Francisco Lindor with a nuanced answer to the Mets' defensive struggles: pic.twitter.com/lIpMmj77t9
"New York, we're not trying to lose games. We're working as hard as we can every day to win ballgames .But we're going to lose at least 50 games, if we win 112, that's impressive right there, so at least we're going to lose 50"

Texas Rangers claimed Darren O'Day of the New York
Mets on waivers on April 22, 2009.
|
1970 |
On the day he is presented with
his Cy Young Award, Mets' fireballer Tom Seaver ties a major league record by
whiffing 19 Padres, including the last ten he faces, to gain a 2-1 win at
Shea Stadium. Batterymate Jerry Grote sets the major league mark with ten
consecutive putouts in a game for a catcher. |
|
2008 |
In a scheduling oddity, both New
York big league teams play in Chicago, with the Mets playing the Cubs in a
matinee, and the Yankees taking on the White Sox in an evening tilt. This
unusual occurrence marks the first time in 11+ years that two teams from one
city have both played as the visitors in the same city on the same date, a
quirk likely necessitated due to the Pope's weekend visit to the Bronx, whose
appearance included a mass at Yankee Stadium two days ago. |
1962 - The Pittsburgh Pirates win their 10th
straight game, edging the New York Mets, 4 - 3, and matching the major-league
record to start a season, while the Mets tie a National League record by
opening 0-9.
1966 - The Braves win their first game in Atlanta
by beating the Mets, 8 - 4.
