    Mendy says Petey was feeling nauseous on the mound (with blurred vision) and tried to battle through to save the pen. No other physical issues.

    They oughta call Diaz “Sloopy” given how he's able to hang on.

    Davey often dropping Mookie from the leadoff slot in 1984 felt counterintuitive because the speediest guy *always* batted first in that era, but the emphasis he chose to place on OBP (which wasn't exactly Mookie's calling card) definitely represented innovative thinking.

    The better part of caution versus pitcher of record on the winning side.

    The afterglow of the Home Opener may warm the hearts of Mets fans attending Saturday night's game, but the forecast suggests everything else will be chilly and damp. Nevertheless, Griffin Canning will attempt to keep the Queens fires burning at 7:10 PM on SNY. Chris Bassitt, who used to work in these parts, wings it for the Jays.

    [media=youtube]Yupq5dVNHlU[/media] The Mets return to Citi Field for full-on baseball purposes for the first time in exactly 24 weeks, taking on an opponent we don't automatically associate with Openers of a Metropolitan kind, though it can be noted that the very first exhibition game in Toronto Blue Jays history came against the New York Mets, a 3-1 victory for the Canadian troupe at Dunedin, March 11, 1977. The expansion club's pitching coach was Original Met Bob Miller — that Bob Miller, not the other Bob Miller. All these weeks and years later, it will be Tylor Megill vs. Kevin Gausman at 3:10 PM. Ceremonial/anniversary first pitches will be tossed by 2000 NL champs Al Leiter and John Franco, and 2015 pennant players Bartolo Colon and Juan Lagares. Time continues to fly. Here's hoping the Mets continue to win.

    Mets try to make the most out of their final road game before their Home Opener. Clay Holmes versus Connor Gillispie, 4:40 PM, SNY.

    Benjamin Grimm wrote: I seem to remember the Padres having an empty Sunday on their schedule years ago, maybe because of a papal visit? I'm not sure. When Padres shared Jack Murphy with Chargers, they had to work around their co-tenants' schedule, which meant the occasional Saturday off for August NFL exhibitions (same for Rockies and Broncos at Mile High). I wouldn't be surprised if September Sundays worked out that way, too. I do recall the Orioles finished 2001 on a Saturday when everybody else was playing on Sunday so Cal Ripken's final game didn't conflict with the Ravens next door.

    The Canario scenario has Alexander traded to the Piratea for cash (not Dave).

    A valiant emergency catcher in 1967. https://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2022/03/04/catching-of-3b-lightning-in-a-catcher/https://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2022/03/04/catching-of-3b-lightning-in-a-catcher/

    Aug. 14, 2024, in Santa Cruz, Calif, per the article MH references. https://www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/former-red-sox-mets-outfielder-dies-sought-privacy-post-baseball-life-death-2040236https://www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/former-red-sox-mets-outfielder-dies-sought-privacy-post-baseball-life-death-2040236 Bob's one of the last Mets I remember being lent out to another organization's farm club, playing for Triple-A Iowa in the Cub system in 1975 while still technically Met property. I was excited that we got him. As with Jack Heidemann and Gene Clines that same year, I learned not everybody I recognized from baseball cards was necessarily going to thrive as a Met.
