SI.com: How MLB’s Most Confounding Team Is (Mostly) Overcoming Decades of Dysfunction - Great article from a couple of days ago that recaps a lot of the changes the Mets made since Steve Cohen bought the team and Sandy was hired as Team President. Including how Sandy Alderson conducted an industry wide survey that showed many employees were under paid qouting one un-named source 'I would say more than 50% of our player development staff significantly—significantly—got an increase that got them on the scale where they should be for their job title.'"
Brian Joura Mets360: "Chris Bassitt rebounded from a rocky outing last time out to throw six shutout innings to lead the Mets to a 5-1 win over the Pirates Saturday night at Citi Field."
Metstradamus:
When Plunders Are Just Blunders with a P "And guess who came back and was effective tonight? Why it was none other than David Peterson! He threw two and a third innings, was extremely effective and worked fast."

Box Score Syracuse Mets 8 Buffalo Bisons 3
This is NOT a repost of @TheRealSmith2_’s first-inning HR from last night. This is a new and equally spectacular first-inning HR from just now ⏪

It took Dominic Smith a while to find his stroke following a demotion to Syracuse, but he's found it lately. Smith homered tonight, has five HR in his last 11 games and is batting .305/.354/.610 in September.

It's not impossible he could still contribute to the Mets this year.

Transactions:
New York Mets purchased Dean Chance from the Cleveland Indians on September 18, 1970.
1963 | In the Polo Grounds' final game, played in front of a paltry 1,752 patrons, Jim Hickman of the Mets hits the last home run in the 52-year history of the Coogan's Bluff ballpark. The iconic stadium, which served as the home of the Giants (1911-1957), Yankees (1913-1922), and Mets (1962-63), first opened its doors on June 28, 1911. |
1970 | The Mets purchase Dean Chance from the Indians, but the 1964 Cy Young award winner will only compile a 0-1 record along with an ERA of 13.50 in his three games, all in relief, before being sent to Detroit, along with Bill Denehy, in an off-season trade with the Tigers. In exchange, New York obtains right-hander Jerry Robertson, who will never pitch again in a major league game. |
1975 | Mets slugger Dave Kingman, in a 7-5 victory over Chicago at Shea Stadium, hits his 35th homer to set a new franchise record for round-trippers in a season. Frank Thomas set the previous mark in 1962, the team's first year in existence. |
1975 | Rusty Staub becomes the first Mets player in the 14-year history of the franchise to drive in one hundred runs in a season. A two-run blast accounts for 'Le Grand Orange's' 100th RBI, which comes in a 7-5 victory over Chicago at Shea Stadium. |
1987 | In a slugfest which the Mets will lose 10-9 to Pittsburgh, Darryl Strawberry gets the team off to a good start when he slams a three-run home run off Brian Fischer in the top of the first inning at Three Rivers Stadium. The New York right fielder's round-tripper, his 37th of the season, establishes a new franchise record for homers, previously set by Dave Kingman on this date in 1975. |
2006 | In front of an enthusiastic Shea Stadium crowd of 46,729, the Mets capture the NL East title for the first time since 1988 by beating the Marlins, 4-0. The contest marks team's fifth attempt to clinch the division, but a road loss in Florida and being swept in Pittsburgh brought the champagne celebration home to the Big Apple. |
2010 | At Citi Field, Luis Hernandez falls to the ground in obvious pain when he fouls a ball off his right foot, and after a lengthy discussion, dismisses the team trainer to resume his turn at-bat. The Mets second baseman hits a home run on the next pitch he sees, but severely limps rounding the bases, reminiscent of Kirk Gibson, barely making it home due to the broken foot that will end his season.
|
1962: The Mets drop a pair to the visiting Colts .45s, 6 - 2 and 8 - 6, and also break the major-league record for homers allowed. Merritt Ranew and Dave Roberts connect for the Colts, the 188th and 189th homers allowed, breaking the A's mark set in 1956. Bob Aspromonte of the Colts sets a National League record for a third baseman with his 57th straight errorless game.
1976: Tom Seaver cuts down the Pirates for the second time in six days, this time winning 6 - 2 at Shea Stadium. Dave Kingman belts his 35th homer and Ed Kranepool adds another for the Mets.
