NY Post:
- Steve Serby: Jeremy Hefner’s guidance has Mets pitchers eyeing early-season history "10 games into the season … the Mets, rained out of Monday night’s game against the Giants, are making an eye-opening pitch for history with the best start (1.07 ERA, 0.75 WHIP) of any rotation in the last 109 years"...Article includes qoutes from the Mets Pitchers like: Chris Bassit - "...he’s genuinely put in the time for I would say all of us just to know what each person takes to be good. And we’re all different. It’s not an easy job, but he’s doing a damn good job of doing it.”
- Inquisitive Buck Showalter making sure Mets prepared for every situation "Such preparation was on display a day earlier, when J.D. Davis thwarted Arizona’s appeal play at third base by attempting to steal second. Confused, pitcher Oliver Perez made a play on Davis, which by rule negated any appeal on Dominic Smith’s tag up at third base."
- ‘Sometimes I cried’: Mets’ Robinson Cano reflects on suspension year.
SNY.TV: Mets map out plan for Taijuan Walker as he nears return from injury. "According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Walker will make a rehab start this Wednesday in extended spring training. Showalter indicated on Sunday that Walker's second rehab start -- if needed -- would possibly come with the High-A Brooklyn Cyclones."
SNY.TV: Mets Minor League Mailbag: Which prospects can fans look forward to seeing in 2022? Which prospects have the best pitches? Jacob Resnick: "I’ll go with Brian Metoyer’s curveball, Buttó’s changeup, and Hamel’s slider."

New York Mets traded Tim Foli and Greg Field to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Frank Taveras on April 19, 1979.
|
1968 |
Nolan Ryan makes quick work of the
Dodgers when he strikes out the side on nine pitches in the top of the third
inning of the Mets' 3-2 loss at Shea Stadium. The 21 year-old New York
fireballer, who will also accomplish the feat with the Angels in 1972,
strikes out 11 batters in 7.1 frames, including Claude Osteen, Wes Parker,
and Zoilo Versalles, the victims of his immaculate inning. |
|
1979 |
The Mets trade Tim Foli, along
with minor league prospect Greg Field, to the Pirates in exchange for second
baseman Frank Taveras. Foli, appearing in 133 games, will play a significant
role in the club's world championship this season, batting .291 and providing
solid defense at shortstop for the Bucs. |
|
1987 |
In the 4000th game in franchise
history, the Mets drop a 4-2 decision to St. Louis at Busch Stadium. The
reigning World Champs, who started as an expansion team in 1962, have won
exactly half of their last 1000 games, posting a 500-498-2 record during the
span that began on July 19, 1980. |
|
1997 |
The Cubs lose their 13th
consecutive game to match the longest losing streak in the franchise's
122-year history. Reliever Turk Wendell, wearing #13, is tagged with the loss
when Chicago drops a 6-3 decision to Mets at Shea Stadium. |
|
1998 |
Equaling their largest margin of
victory when keeping an opponent scoreless, the Mets rout Cincinnati at
Cinergy Field, 14-0. Outfielder Bernard Gilkey crosses the plate in the
first, third, fifth, seventh, and eighth inning, becoming only one of four
players in franchise history to score five runs in one game. |
|
1998 |
The Devil Rays, en route to
finishing last in the AL East, improve their record to 10-6, beating the
Angels at Anaheim, 6-0, becoming the first expansion team to be four games
over .500 at any point in their inaugural season. In contrast, the 1962 Mets
posted a 3-13 mark in the first 16 games in the history of the franchise. |
|
2005 |
David Wright's seventh-inning
grand slam at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park establishes a club record for
home runs hit in a game. The Mets go deep seven times (Reyes-2, Diaz-2,
Piazza, Wright, and Mientkiewicz) when they rout the Phillies, 16-4. |
|
2013 |
According to the Elias Sports
Bureau, Matt Harvey becomes the first pitcher in modern major league history
to win his first four games while giving up less than a total of ten hits.
The 24 year-old Mets right-hander easily outduels his mound opponent, Washington's
former phenom, Stephen Strasburg, prompting the Citi Field crowd to start
chanting, "Har-vee's be-tter, "Har-vee's be-tter." |
2010: The Mets'
youngsters are in evidence in a 6 - 1 win over the Cubs.
Jonathon Niese picks up the win with a solid effort
over 5 2/3 innings; Jenrry Mejia, the youngest player in the National
League, pitches the final two innings; and 1B Ike Davis goes 2 for 4 with an RBI in his
major league debut. Angel Pagan adds a homer off James Russell, who suffers his first major league
loss for Chicago.
