Mike Puma NY Post: Clay Holmes’ first Opening Day start quickly became a Mets mess. "Holmes was the losing pitcher in the Mets’ 3-1 loss to the Astros at Daikin Park after allowing three runs (one unearned) on five hits and four walks with a hit batsman over 4 ²/₃ innings....“I think the big thing was the walks,” Holmes said. “I gave them five free passes — the walks and a hit-by-pitch...to give them enough base runners to create some traffic there.”


Brian Joura Mets lose on Opening Day for second straight year. "Mets have gone 1-11 in last 12 games in Houston...Framber Valdez threw a bunch of pitches but he shut out the Mets over seven innings..In the eighth inning, Bryan Abreu walked the bases loaded. But he got first-pitch outs against both Jesse Winker and Brandon Nimmo...In the ninth, the Mets loaded the bases with no outs on two hits and a walk against Josh Hader...But Hayden Senger, in his first AB in the majors, struck out. Francisco Lindor hit a sac fly, which was followed by a terrible swing on a 3-2 pitch by Juan Soto.."


NY Post: Juan Soto reveals why he came up small in his first big Mets spot. “I was expecting to be up in that moment, that situation,’’ Soto said of the opportunity to potentially tie the game with an extra-base hit. “[Hader] let the ball go on that last pitch and got me on that one. It was a pretty good pitch down and away.”...Soto acknowledged he didn’t think a slider was coming.

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:

Transactions:
New York Mets traded Bill Sudakis to the Texas Rangers for Bill McNulty on March 28, 1973.

New York Mets traded Steve Frey to the Montreal Expos for Tom O'Malley and Mark Bailey on March 28, 1989.

New York Mets released Edwin Nunez on March 28, 1989.

Atlanta Braves claimed Ruben Gotay of the New York Mets on waivers on March 28, 2008.

Florida Marlins signed Jeff Conine of the New York Mets as a free agent on March 28, 2008.

Per National Pastime.com:

1985

Sports Illustrated's April 1st edition tricks the nation when author George Plimpton weaves a fictitious tale of The Curious Case Of Sidd Finch, a Mets rookie phenom who throws a 168 mph fastball. Staged photographs and quotes from Mets in real-life help to give the story a realistic edge.

2013

Mets GM Sandy Alderson announces an MRI has revealed 34 year-old Johan Santana has re-torn his surgically repaired left shoulder capsule and indicates additional surgery is a "strong possibility" for the left-hander. The Venezuelan southpaw, who missed the entire 2011 season due to the injury, will probably never pitch again for the team, finishing his six-year, $137.5 million contract with the team, a deal he signed upon his trade to the team in early 2008, on the disabled list.

 Baseball Reference:

1976 - Media sources report a potential blockbuster trade between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers which involves two future Hall of Fame pitchers. According to the rumor, the deal will send Tom Seaver to the Dodgers in exchange for Don Sutton. Mets fans respond negatively to the proposed deal, perhaps influencing management to call off the trade. Seaver will remain with the Mets until 1977, when he is traded to the Cincinnati Reds, in a trade which will be universally rued by Mets fans. 

1977: Texas Rangers second baseman Lenny Randle, upset at having been benched during spring training, physically confronts manager Frank Lucchesi, sending him to the hospital with a shattered cheekbone. Lucchesi helps precipitate the incident by calling the usually good-natured Randle a "punk". Randle will receive a 30-day suspension. On April 26th, he will be traded to the New York Mets for infielder Rick Auerbach and cash. 

2014: Major league baseball is back in Montreal, QC for the first time since 2004 as the Blue Jays play the first of two exhibition games against the Mets. More than 46,000 fans, most sporting the colors of the defunct Montreal Expos, pack Stade Olympique to pay tribute to Hall of Famer Gary Carter and to their beloved former team. The Jays win, 5 - 4, on minor league veteran Ricardo Nanita's run-scoring single with two outs in the 9th. Tomorrow, over 50,000 fans will be at the game in what will become an annual tradition to close out the Jays' schedule of pre-season exhibition games.
