- Max Scherzer ends his first inning of work with a strikeout that took 27 seconds. Don't think anyone in baseball is better equipped to pitch with the clock.
00:00 - Before today, the last time the Mets won on a walk-off error with 2 outs in extra innings: 1986 World Series, Game 6. Gets through Buckner. Some magic on Keith Hernandez Day.
- Jacob deGrom’s first three pitches tonight: 100 mph 100 mph 101 mph
- Jacob deGrom said Max Scherzer told him "how 'bout you flip in a first-pitch curveball" in between innings. deGrom did it and looked over at Scherzer and laughed.
00:00 - The crowd for Jacob deGrom's pregame bullpen in St. Lucie. Everybody wants a peek.
- Former #Mets second round draft pick Andrew Church, who was among those released today, offered some honest opinions on the state of the organization and player development system via Instagram. It’s worth reading.
- This moment. One of the last times Mets fans were able to show Tom Seaver how much he meant to them. x.com/metsrewind/sta…
- The “Mets have only played bad teams” crowd is awfully quiet after they just took 3/4 from the Giants.
- Mets top prospect Francisco Álvarez has now played exactly 162 games in his minor league career. .275/.383/.526, 35 HR, 34 2B, 110 RBI, 9 SB Still only 20 years old.
- The Washington Nationals will pay Max Scherzer $45 million to play for the Mets over the next three seasons.
- They named a luxury tax threshold after Steve Cohen and he responded by spending more.
