SNY on YouTube: Max Scherzer's Post game Reaction.


SNY on YouTube: Tomas Nido talks Max Sherzer struggles;

Tim Healey Newsday: Max Scherzer allows three straight homers as Mets are blown out again by Brewers. "Milwaukee crushed three consecutive home runs off Scherzer in the bottom of the sixth inning, triggering in quick succession three rounds of fireworks. The smoke appeared set to linger for the rest of the game, then reliever Brooks Raley gave up back-to-back long balls in the seventh, turning the scene into a smoldering blowout. "

Mike Puma NY Post: Max Scherzer roughed up by Brewers as Mets get shutout again in loss. "Simply, the Mets lineup was non-competitive for a second straight day and third time in six games to begin the season in a 9-0 loss at American Family Field. The Mets extended their scoreless streak to 20 innings, getting shut out in a second straight game, as Wade Miley and the Brewers bullpen pitched to soft contact."

Metstradamus: Two is a Trend: "Yesterday’s 10-0 loss was easily attributed to a day game after travel, Carlos Carrasco’s lack of velocity, and Tommy Hunter giving up his health to make sure that the pitching staff wouldn’t be stretched out for tonight, which would surely be an improvement with a good night’s sleep and Max Scherzer on the mound, right? Right. They only lost 9-0."

Brian Joura Mets360: "It used to be that we referred to Turner Field in Atlanta as a house of horrors for the Mets. But we’re going to have to pass the crown to whatever they’re calling the park in Milwaukee. In their last 20 games in Milwaukee, the Mets are now 3-17, as the Brewers administered a beatdown, emerging with a 9-0 win against the Mets"

NationalPastime.com:

1976

In a deal negotiated in the groundskeeper's office under the third base stands at Fort Lauderdale Stadium, 31 year-old right-hander Tom Seaver agrees to a three-year contract with the Mets. The pact makes 'Tom Terrific,' who posted a 25-9 record last season while leading the league in strikeouts with 243, the first hurler in baseball history to earn $200,000 annually.

1983

On Opening Day, Tom Seaver, making his first appearance with the Mets since 1977, combines with Doug Sisk to blank the Phillies at Shea Stadium, 2-0. 'Tom Terrific,' who will go on to extend the record to 16, ties Walter Johnson's major league mark with his 14th Opening Day assignment.

1993

At Shea Stadium, the Rockies lose their National League debut, dropping a 3-0 decision to the Mets and Dwight Gooden, who pitches a four-hit complete game for the victory. Right-hander David Nied starts the contest for Colorado, and Andres Galarraga collects the franchise's first hit with a second-inning single.

Baseball Reference:

1972: For the first time in Major League Baseball history, the regular season fails to open due to the player strike which started on April 1st. 86 games will be lost before the labor dispute is settled.

The New York Mets acquire OF Rusty Staub from the Montreal Expos for a package of three young players: OF Ken Singleton, SS Tim Foli, and 1B Mike Jorgensen. Staub will help the Mets to the National League pennant in 1973.

1983 - On Opening Day at Shea Stadium, pitcher Tom Seaver makes his first appearance for the Mets since his trade to Cincinnati in 1977, as he combines with Doug Sisk to shut out the Phillies, 2 - 0, on five hits. For Seaver, it's his 14th Opening Day assignment, tying the record set by Walter Johnson with the Washington Senators.



1993: The expansion Colorado Rockies and Florida Marlins play their first games ever. After Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio throws out the first ball at Joe Robbie Stadium, the Marlins defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 6 - 3. Jeff Conine goes 4 for 4 while Charlie Hough gets the win. In the meantime, the Rockies lose to Dwight Gooden and the Mets, 3 - 0, at Shea Stadium.

2011: Chris Young becomes the first pitcher in New York Mets history to collect two hits in an inning as he defeats the Phillies, 7 - 1, in his first start for his new team. His hitting binge comes in the 3rd inning, which he leads off with a single; he scores the game's first run, then has a two-out RBI single to bring the score to 6 - 0 and chase losing pitcher Cole Hamels. For good measure, he adds a third single in the 5th. David Wright also partakes in the fun with 4 hits, 2 runs scored and 2 RBI.
