Today's Game: Mets (3-2) @ Brewers (3-1), 7:40 pm

MIL: Wade Miley (#20, 36, LHP, 0-0, )
NYM: Max Scherzer (#21, 38, RHP, 1-0, 4.50)

Metstradamus: Cowgilled. "It wasn’t a great omen to start the game with a pitch clock violation. I mean, you don’t have 15 seconds to throw the first pitch of the season. You technically have hours to throw it. So 0-0 top first, and you can’t get the pitch off in time, that should have been everyone’s first clue.

Mike Puma NY Post: Sleepwalking Mets get torched in ugly loss to Brewers. "Start with Carlos Carrasco’s ineffectiveness and move to a Mets lineup that produced only three hits and you have the recipe for a 10-0 loss at American Family Field in the Brewers’ home opener."

Brian Joura Mets360: "Carlos departed after walking his first two batters in the fifth inning. Reliever Tommy Hunter entered and the floodgates started. By the time the fifth inning ended, it was 10-0 Brewers with the biggest hit courtesy of grand slam by Brewers rookie Bryce Turang."

 National Pastime.com:

1966

On the nationally-televised Hullabaloo, a program which showcases rock and roll groups, host Soupy Sales is joined by his two sons, Tony and Hunt, to perform Meet the Mets, with the unlikely tune also accompanied by the show's go-go dancers halfway through the song (Video link here). The Sales' children were on the program as guests musicians, featuring their rock and roll band, Tony and the Tigers.

1988

In a 10-6 victory over the Expos, Kevin McReynolds and Darryl Strawberry each hit a pair of home runs, helping the Mets to establish an Opening Day record with six homers. The 'Strawman's' second shot, estimated at 525 feet, hits above the dome's light rim and is believed to be the longest dinger ever stroked at Olympic Stadium.

1994

On Opening Day at Wrigley Field in the Cubs' 12-8 loss to New York, Tuffy Rhodes, who has hit only five round-trippers in his first 280 major league at-bats, becomes the first player to homer in his first three at-bats of the season. The three solo home runs, all off Mets right-hander Dwight Gooden, will account for nearly half of the outfielder's total for the year when he finishes the campaign with only eight round-trippers.

1994

Before the Cubs' 12-8 Opening Day loss to the Mets at Wrigley Field, Hillary Clinton becomes the second first lady to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the baseball season. Bill's wife then joins Harry Caray in the broadcast booth and sings "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" with the beloved announcer during the seventh inning stretch.

2003

The Coneheads stage a reunion at Shea Stadium as David Cone returns to the mound after taking a year off and hurls an impressive five innings of shutout ball in the Mets' 4-0 victory over the Expos. In memory of one of the founders of this unique idea which started in 1988, the group hangs a banner featuring a picture of Scott Saber, who was killed during the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, smiling in his Conehead.

Baseball Reference:

2018 - Major League Baseball experiments with a new medium as today's game between the Phillies and Mets is broadcast live exclusively on "Facebook Watch", a new application recently launched by the social media giant. Reviews are mixed, as viewers complain about the size of the graphics relative to that of most laptop or tablet screens and the invasive nature of streaming comments by users (which can be turned off, although this possibility is not readily apparent to many viewers, it seems). This is clearly an attempt to interest some younger viewers who have tuned out traditional media in watching a live game. But some of the kinks will need to be worked out before it can dethrone the well-regarded MLB.TV, which already provides live and delayed game coverage on a huge variety of connected devices.
