Tim Healey Newsday: The frame game: Mets' Francisco Alvarez a master at stealing strikes behind plate. Tim talks about the pitch framing success of Francisco Alvarez and includes this quote from him: “They’ll look back to the umpire and they’ll start talking. And sometimes I feel bad for the umpire because, like, damn. I robbed a strike there. It probably should’ve been a ball. But I’m also happy because they called a strike.”

Syracuse:

Will Sammon and Tim Britton in a recent article for The Athletic noted that "this is Mauricio’s first go-round in Triple A, and the organization would like to see him continue piling up good results as he faces the same teams multiple times. Syracuse starts to repeat opponents on Memorial Day weekend and will spend the entire month of June playing its second series of the season against teams." (Subscription Required).

As noted above, Ronny went 1 for 6 in yesterday's Game against Rochester but one very interesting moment came in the 10th inning.  With one run in and runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out, the Red Wings walked Luis Guillorme to load the bases and pitch to Ronny.  Ronnie popped up to 2nd.

1962

The Mets complete their first-ever triple play when shortstop Elio Chacon snags Willie Davis's liner and flips the ball to Charlie Neal to double off Maury Wills at second, with the third out coming on a ball thrown to Gil Hodges to catch Jim Gilliam off first base. New York will be the victim of the only other triple killing this season when Joe Pignatano, in his final major league at-bat, pops out to Cubs second baseman Ken Hubbs, who starts a 4-3-6 play in the eighth in the season finale played a Wrigley Field.

1962

Frank Thomas strokes a double off Sandy Koufax in the Mets' 13-6 loss to Los Angeles, extending his franchise mark of consecutive games with a hit to 18 for the expansion team. The streak, which will be only one shy of Maury Wills' league-leading total for the season, is halted when the New York left fielder goes 0-for-4 in the nightcap of the Dodgers' sweep at the Polo Grounds.

2014

The Mets become the first team to have three players appear in a game whose last name begins with a lower case letter d, when Travis d'Arnaud, Jacob deGrom, and Matt den Dekker all play in the Mets' 6-5 walk-off loss to Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park. After using an upside-down capital 'P' on d'Arnaud's jersey, equipment manager Kevin Kierst, asked Majestic, MLB's uniform supplier, to make 'small' letters available knowing there be even more of a need this season.


Baseball Reference:

2009Thomas De Wolf of the DSL Mets becomes the first minor leaguer born and raised in Belgium. He goes 1 for 4 with a walk, run and RBI and will post a .432 OBP in the 2009 Dominican Summer League, leading his club.

2013The Mets complete a four-game sweep of the Yankees with a 3 - 1 win behind the pitching of Dillon Gee, who strikes out a career-high 12 batters in 7 1/3 innings. It is the first time the Mets have ever swept a Subway Series against the Bronx Bombers, as those are the only four games the two teams will play against each other this year.
