One thing I do know - it's nice to have the Mets relevant enough to have a troll in our thread this year.

Yes. It is good we have finally become troll worthy. Thanks Lord Troll!
Carrasco this afternoon. Bullpen is kind of taxed.
Diaz has pitched 2 days in a row. No way he is available.
Guessing Ottovino and Smith are probably not going to pitch as well after pitching last night.
Assuming we have a lead, Lugo will probably be asked to pitch the ninth. Maybe the eighth too.
Before that, Yoan, Shreve and Rodriquez should be available. Trevor May too, if Buck dares.
Maybe Reid-Foley if his leg is okay. And I guess Williams.
NYC press was speculating Pete might get rested after the latest shot to the head. Wouldn't be surprised if a couple other starters get rested. Especially Lindor who finally has cooled off and has played in every game so far.

Yeah you never want to concede a game but be great get a few of these guys some extra rest. Lindor made good contact last night at least. Just not good enough in that ballpark.

Being a Mets fan, an SU football fan, and SU basketball fan and SU lacrosse fan has been a trail of tears in recent years. It's fun rooting for a team that is good and knows it.

It is these days.
Five pitchers threw 159 pitches to secure the no-hitter. A decade ago, Johan Santana threw the other Mets no-hitter all by himself, throwing all 134 pitches:

Diaz was the best I've ever seen him, moving down the heart of the Phillies' line-up.

McCann caught all nine innings. Maybe no-hitters should be attributed to catchers. How many did Yogi Berra catch?
I found this article but it's way out of date. The latest no-no listed was in 1978:

Yogi caught three but Ray Schalk caught four.
This is much more-up-to-date, (2021) but where is Ray Schalk?:

Catchers with the most no-hitters
When a pitcher throws a no-hitter, the second-most important and notable player on the field is, almost always, the catcher. While we define no-hitters by the pitchers to throw them, and rightfully so, some adulation should always be saved for those behind the plate during such feats as well. Two

Berra had 3 including a perfect game in a WS game. I think the record is 4. Veritek from Boston and Ruiz from Phillies.

The source you provided shows he had 3 not 4.
To your question... but where is Ray Schalk?
Answer: In the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.

In 1968, the NL batted .242, the AL .230. This year the NL is batting .231, the AL .229. there are a lot of sleepy bats.

Until a rules change in the early 1990s disallowed one of them. I remember reading a story about incorrect plaques in Cooperstown and he was part of it.

Wikipedia has a comprehensive list, (it already had tonight's game), listing both pitchers and catchers. It has Schalk with just one in 1914 and thus three.

They have also played an incredibly easy schedule. Kc cle det. Bal twice. The red Sox who are off to a bad start.And after all that, the team with the best record in baseball for the month of April is... the Yankees!

I have relatives who are huge Yankee fans who were downgrading the Mets opening 10 games after they played the Nationals and Diamondbacks. You play who is on your schedule but other than the Blue Jays, the Yankees have played one garbage team after another. Funny, my relatives have been quiet the last week on strength of schedule. Congrats to them on a 9 game streak. They’ll come down to earth once the level of competition rises.
The Mets have played a tougher schedule. Giants Cards Phillies twice.
