- Fun, actual fun. Mets sweep the Padres fueled half by grimace and half by JD Martinez. Does this change the Mets trade deadline plans? We try to figure it out. Francisco Lindor is also sick, who guessed it. The lineup seems fun too and Tylor Megill still looks good but not great. Also, Media Marvels and a preview of the Rangers series.

I love this pod. You guys know so much ball and are nothing like all the other NY fans that are unbearable
10:08 Francisco Lindor is good? But an old man on Facebook that’s been a Mets fan for 60 years told me that he’s worthless!?!
That starling marte wiff on the Luis Arraez double was reminiscent of the famous Marcell Ozuna error
I Don’t think the current state of the wild card is a manfred problem to be honest. That’s an owner problem.
The idea was to get some incentive by winning your division by a decent margin. With the NL/AL central being poverty for 7 years just to get swept, it was necessary.
The issue is owners took the 3rd wild card as insurance instead of worrying about being the worst division winner. On paper it made sense imo.
Love the pod guys, personally I disagree with James’ take on the deadline, I don’t think you can really compare Stearns with the Brewers to the Mets, the approach a GM is gonna have with a $100 million payroll is gonna be very different than a team with a $300 million payroll
I am reticent to get too confident at this point, but this team at this moment really looks like the best version of itself that fans hoped for coming into the season. And that is without Senga yet, and without a completely healthy Diaz for the most part.
I am concerned with the Mets' bullpen. It was good to see Diaz hitting 100 on the gun recently, which suggests that he maybe fully "back" or close to it. The dip in velo early in the season on his fastball should have been a red flag (I guess I just didn't want to see it). But hopefully he's full-go now. The loss of Raley really hurts in my opinion. I like the depth of the rotation, especially after Senga returns. So that might open up an arm for the pen. I've long thought that Megill had real set-up man potential. I think if the Mets can add a solid late-inning arm or two by trade, by moving a starter there, or maybe having a hard-throwing minor leaguer (someone like Sproat) fill in, this could really be a playoff team. That said ... they have looked terrible for stretches of the season and I can't get too excited about this win streak. But it is fun to dream.
The biggest reason for this turn around is Alvarez coming back. The pitchers do so much better when he is behind the plate.
Can we you guys create a metric for menu command? You had me falling off the elliptical with that story
James if you have a baseball history channel i would subscribe day one!!
Well the Mets are finishing 125-37 so dont think we should sell
You forgot to read my review, the one before NYC Metsochist
Hopefully Verlander doesn't hit 140 ip this year
All do respect to James and you guys, but you can't compare what Stearns did and how he managed that Brewers team to what he's going to do in NY. The Brewers are/were a very payroll conscious mid-market team and even Stearns has admitted he regrets making that Hader trade. Mets are not that by any means and all Cohen has shown as owner is he's willing to spend whatever it takes to make this team as good as possible. It's also obvious JD is a big part of the culture change and leadership group that have led to that culture change of late, where they believe they can win every game, not a team that goes out there thinking "how are we gonna lose today".
Is this team a true WS Contender right now? Probably not, but neither were the D-Backs last year, but a few moves especially in the pen to replace Raley, and upgrade over Diekman and Ottavino could go a long way. Rotation should get better too if Senga comes back, gives them a solid 1-4 and the lineup while it could still use a good lefty middle of the order bat, is pretty solid 1-9. Get in see what happens, we no longer have a barren farm system either. If they can stay in it over the next 4-6 weeks, have to at the minimum be cautious buyers.
We have to sell pitching no matter what. Sevy, Manaea, Quintana, and Marte need to go so we can get some more good prospects and go for the future. We easily can replace them with Senga, Butto, Scott, Luchessi, Hamel or Scott. You can give Blade Tidwell some starts... Like I think we need to make room.
The grimets
Ok - no more Pete Alonso at #2 in the batting order. Please.
