"It's not a fun stretch to go through, not how you envision things going. Just push through it. Put a lot of hope in that tomorrow you're gonna turn things around and at any instant you can turn things into a 10-game win streak"

Buck Showalter talks about keeping the right mindset after a sweep by the Braves:

"I'm proud of them. I look at it as positives other than we just couldn't get outs. Used every arrow we had" pic.twitter.com/4S5VQQw6SL
"The season is not over, but right now, this team is figuring out ways to lose every day, and at some point, if they don't turn it around rather soon, then changes start to be made."

FINAL (10 innings): Braves 13, Mets 10.
— Tim Healey (@timbhealey) June 9, 2023
That is an absolutely excruciating loss for the Mets, who have dropped six in a row.
They led from the top of the second until the bottom of the ninth.
The Mets are 8.5 games behind the Braves in the NL East.
If the Mets are still below .500 come the All-Star break.....then yea...they should sell a bunch of pieces....free up future payroll....play the kids to see who sticks and then reinforce the young core with free agent talent this off-season. https://t.co/QGEJDfRRIn

Press Release: America’s VetDogs Partners with Amazin’ Mets Foundation to Raise Second Future Service Dog
NY Post:
- Mets swept by Braves after blowing late lead in slugfest loss.
- Mike Vaccaro: Mets keep predictably finding Amazin’ new ways to lose with latest collapse. "That’s the thing about a struggling team stuck in quicksand. No lead is ever big enough. No cushion is ever secure enough. Three runs? Four runs? Doesn’t matter. Trouble is always lurking. Disaster is always looming. How many runs is enough? When you’re on the treadmill to hell the way the Mets are right now, enough is never enough."
- Reds closer and Edwin Diaz’s brother Alexis Diaz on Mets’ radar. "According to a source, Mets scouts have been tracking Reds star closer Alexis Diaz, who is 14-for-14 in saves. The Mets’ biggest issue is an underperforming offense. But relief depth is probably issue No. 2, and adding a closer to combine with David Robertson — especially Edwin Diaz’s brother — would be huge."
Newsday:
- Mets blow another lead, get swept out of Atlanta in 10 innings for sixth straight loss. "Somehow, someway, the Mets discovered an even more excruciating path to a loss Thursday night. They got swept by Atlanta after dropping the series finale, 13-10 in 10 innings, despite leading from the top of the second inning until the bottom of the ninth...The Mets had won 122 consecutive games — a streak that started in September 2021 — in which they led after eight innings."
- Mets' Pete Alonso heads back to New York for MRI on wrist "...following his CT scan in Atlanta in the morning, which was the previously disclosed plan, the Mets shipped Alonso back to New York for an MRI, which was a new development. Manager Buck Showalter said he had no further update. "

1973 | Right fielder Rusty Staub becomes the pivot man in a very unusual double play during a 4-2 Mets victory against the Dodgers at Shea Stadium. Racing in from the outfield, 'Le Grand Orange' gets a throw near second base from first baseman John Milner and tags Davey Lopes, who was picked-off from first and then throws the ball home to nail Tom Paciorek trying to score from second during the P-1B-SS-1B-2B-1B-2B-RF-C rundown. |
1973 | The Mets retire Gil Hodges' number 14 in tribute to their late manager, who died of a heart attack just before the start of the season. In addition to leading his underdog club to a World Championship in 1969, the quiet leader also hit the first home run in franchise history, a 1962 solo shot at Busch Stadium off St. Louis right-hander Larry Jackson. |
1989 | Mets outfielder Darryl Strawberry hits his 200th career home run in a ten-inning, 4-3, loss to the Pirates. The six-foot, six-inch slugger will finish his 18-year major league career with 335 round-trippers. |
1999 | After being ejected in the 12th inning by plate umpire Randy Marsh for arguing a catcher's interference call, Bobby Valentine returns to the dugout with a fake mustache and glasses. The National League will suspend the Mets' manager for two games and fine him for using the disguise. |
2015 | In front of a dwindling crowd, made up of mostly remaining Giants fans, Chris Heston, making his 13th career start, strikes out the side in the ninth inning to finish the season's first no-hitter, a 5-0 Giants' victory over the Mets at Citi Field. The 27 year-old rookie right-hander's no-no, the 17th in franchise history, marks the fourth straight season the feat has been accomplished by a San Francisco hurler, with Matt Cain (2012) and Tim Lincecum (2013 and 2014) throwing complete games without yielding a hit during the past three years. |
1973: After the old timer's game at Shea Stadium‚ Willie Mays puts on his own show with a homer and circus catch and the Mets top the Dodgers‚ 4 - 2. Willie‚ older than a half dozen of the old Mets‚ hits homer #655 of his career. Rusty Staub drives in two runs to back Jon Matlack. In the old timers game‚ the Brooklyn Dodgers/Yankees lose to the Mets‚ 1 - 0‚ in two innings.
1992: The Yankees trade P Lee Guetterman to the Mets in exchange for P Tim Burke.
1995 - The Padres defeat the Mets‚ 8 - 4‚ behind Joey Hamilton. To make his day complete‚ Hamilton doubles off Mets P Pete Harnisch for his first hit in 58 major league at bats.
1997: The Mets' Bobby Jones singles in a run and cops his eighth straight win‚ beating the host Reds‚ 4 - 2. Jones has won 11 games faster than any pitcher in Mets history and is the first National League pitcher to win 11 this season.
2006 - The Mets trade 2B Kaz Matsui to the Rockies for utilityman Eli Marrero.
