Throughout any at-bat, you look for the positives in it. I hit a few foul homers that started fair and went foul. Nobody cares about those because they ended up in strikeouts probably.'”

- Baseball lifer Phil Regan suing Mets over departure following 2019 season - Matt Musico points out "Regan filled in for Dave Eiland as pitching coach after he was fired in the middle of June. The Mets ultimately didn’t retain Regan, instead hiring Jeremy Hefner for the role ahead of 2020. One of the main reasons why Regan wasn’t invited back? He was “too old”, which is what then-GM Brodie Van Wagenen reportedly told him straight-up."

1966 |
The
Mets trade Wayne Graham, Bobby Klaus, and Jimmie Schaffer to the Phillies for
first baseman Dick Stuart, who will join the Dodgers after being released by
the team in June. During his brief tenure with the Amazins,' Dr. Strangelove
plays in 31 games, hitting .231 while committing six errors. |
|
2008 |
The
Mets, who had not gone to arbitration with a player in 16 years, come out on
the short end of the hearing when southpaw Oliver Perez (15-10, 3.56) gets a
favorable decision in his case from arbitrators Steven Wolf, Robert Bailey,
and Elizabeth Neumeier. The southpaw is awarded $6.5 million for this year,
rather than the club's offer of $4,725,000. |

2017 |
"I think it's a mistake to stick our head in the sand and
ignore the fact that our game has changed, and continues to
change". - MLB COMMISSIONER ROB MANFRED, commenting on the
new intentional walk rule. In an effort to speed up the game, MLB announces the approval
of implementing an intentional walk with a signal from the dugout, rather
than the need of throwing four pitches out of the strike zone. Although the
new rule will eliminate about only a minute of play, some believe the new
approach rids the sport of an antiquated way of issuing a deliberate
base-on-balls. |
