Mets News and Morning Links 4/24/2022

Good Morning.  Happy Birthday Carlos Beltran and Shervyen Newton. Mets lose to Diamondbacks 5-2, St. Lucie wins, Brooklyn gets 1 Hit, Binghamton and Syracuse fall and Michael Conforto to have season ending shoulder surgery.

Section Links: Mets Links, Minor League Links, MLB Links, and This Day in Mets History. 

Mets Links: 

Diamondbacks 5 Mets 2 (Box Score) Dominic Smith 1 for 4, double, run scored; Jeff McNeil 2 for 4, triple, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, Tomas Nido 1 for 3, 1 RBI, 1 K; Trevor Williams; (L, 0-2) 2 innings, 4 runs - all earned, 7 hits; Adonis Medina 1 inning, no runs, no hits, 3 Ks; 

Brian Joura Mets360: "If you like crisp baseball and you missed this game, consider yourself fortunate. In a game where not much was expected because the Mets were throwing Trevor Williams into an impossible situation, the Mets failed to reach even those modest goals, as they fell to the Diamondbacks, 5-2, Saturday night in Arizona."

Metstradamus: "...the Mets did everything they could to climb back into it. They scored two runs in the 5th to make it 4-2 on RBI hits by Jeff McNeil and Tomas Nido....Robinson Cano reached on a 15 foot single in front of the plate. Then he went to second on a wild pitch before McNeil hit one up the middle. For some reason, Cano sauntered back towards second and right into the ball for an out."

As we had yesterday on Mets News and Links: Mets Roster Move - Peterson sent to AAA; Adonis Medina called up.

Transactions:

Tampa Bay Devil Rays claimed Brian Rose of the New York Mets on waivers on April 24, 2001.

National Pastime.com:

1962	Commissioner Ford Frick fines Casey Stengel $500 for appearing in uniform for a beer advertisement, which shows the Mets manager ready to bunt. Kathy Kersh, who is holding the ball in the Rheingold ad, will later become better known as Cornelia, one of the Joker's women in the 1960's Batman television series.
1965	Casey Stengel wins his 3,000th game as a manager when his Amazin' Mets score three runs in the top of the ninth inning to beat the Giants at Candlestick Park, 7-6. The 'Old Perfessor,' who served as the skipper for the Dodgers, Braves, and Yankees, won more than a third of his games (1,149) during his 12-year tenure with the Bronx Bombers.
2012	For the first time in major league history, four different pitchers combine to walk four consecutive batters when the Marlins hurlers load the bases and then force in a run in a 2-1 loss against the Mets. Josh Johnson walks Lucas Duda, then Randy Choate issues a free pass to Justin Turner, followed by Steve Cishek's base-on-balls to Scott Hairston, and finally, Mike Dunn forces home Josh Thole with the tying run with the last of the only walks given up by the Miami staff in the Citi Field contest.

 

Baseball Reference:

2015: The Yankees snap the Mets' franchise record-tying 11-game winning streak with a 6 -1 win. Jacob deGrom allows three homers, two by Mark Teixeira and the other by Jacoby Ellsbury to be tagged with the loss. Michael Pineda is the winner.
