NY Post: Mets lose heartbreaker to Cubs after controversial play at plate for final out: ‘Wrong call’. "For eight innings, the Mets grew frustrated with bats that would not awaken. For the final inning, the frustration was redirected to a ruling from the MLB Replay Center that “cost us a game,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. Pete Alonso was thrown out at the plate in a chaotic finish to a 1-0 loss to the Cubs on Wednesday at Citi Field, where 22,485 fans, one manager and one clubhouse were upset at the league’s interpretation of what constitutes blocking the plate."
MLB Statement on the Final Play of Wednesday's 1-0 Mets Loss - 5/1/2024 "After viewing all relevant angles, the Replay Official definitively determined that no violation of the Home Plate Collision Rule occurred. The catcher's initial setup was legal and he moved into the lane in reaction to the trajectory of the incoming throw. The call is confirmed, as it is not a violation. Additionally, the Replay Official could not definitively determine that the runner contacted home plate prior to catcher applying the tag. The call stands, and the runner is out."

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com:
Born on this date:
- Ed Bressoud (1932)
- Joe Crawford (1970)
- Erasmo Ramirez (1990)
- Jonathan Villar (1991)
Transactions:
New York Mets released Ray Sadecki on May 2, 1977.
New York Mets signed free agent Juan Castillo on May 2, 1988.
1968 | Mets hitter Bud Harrelson becomes the first batter in baseball history to gain a 3-0 ball-strike count advantage from the on-deck circle when umpire Ed Vargo penalizes Phillies reliever John Boozer for going to his mouth inside the 18-foot circle of the mound. Philadelphia manager Gene Mauch, incensed about the ball one call, orders his pitcher to do it again for ball two, and then again for ball three, which promptly gets his right-hander and himself thrown out of the game, a 3-0 loss to New York at Shea Stadium. |
1983 | Jose Oquendo makes his major league debut, grounding into a force out as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning of a 3-2 loss to Houston. The 19 year-old rookie shortstop, born on July 4, 1963, is the first person to play for the Mets who is younger than the franchise, which started in 1962. |
2008 | Jose Reyes is thrown out at home plate in an unusual attempt to complete the cycle with an inside-the-park homer. The shortstop's four hits pace the Mets' 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks, the club's 14th victory in the last 15 games played against Arizona at Chase Field. |
1987: After having missed spring training and the first month of the season because of collusion, Montreal Expos outfielder Tim Raines debuts by going 4 for 5, including a 10th-inning grand slam, in an 11 - 7 win over the New York Mets.
2010: The Phillies take over first place in the NL East by beating Mets ace Johan Santana like a rag doll. Santana gives up 10 runs, including 8 in the 4th inning, which he fails to complete. With the Mets leading 5 - 3, he issues a two-out bases-loaded walks to his opposite, Jamie Moyer, then Shane Victorino blasts a grand slam to open the floodgates. Chase Utley adds a two-run shot to chase Santana; Placido Polanco and Ryan Howard had homered earlier against him. The Phillies win, 11 - 5.
2019: Noah Syndergaard of the Mets pitches a complete game shutout and also homers off Tyler Mahle for the game's only run as he defeats the Reds, 1 - 0. The last player to have managed that particular feat had been Bob Welch, back in 1983.
