POSTCAST: Mets SPLIT Doubleheader, WIN Series From Atlanta Jul 30, 2026

Show notes

The New York Mets split a doubleheader with the Atlanta Braves, at least securing a series win over their NL East rival.

A rather long day for the Mets. They started out by taking the first game of the doubleheader behind a good start from Sean Manaea and a timely RBI double from Carson Benge.

Then, with a third straight win and a series victory secure, they went for the sweep in the nightcap. Christian Scott was great, going six innings for the first time this season. But the bats had no answers for Chris Sale and the Braves bullpen.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down ALL the events of the day.

POSTCAST: Offense RAINS Down On Braves In BLOWOUT Of Atlanta Jul 28, 2026

Show notes

19 hits. 14 runs. Huge days from Francisco Lindor and Tyrone Taylor. The New York Mets blew out the Atlanta Braves, 14-3.

What a night for the bats. Picking up right where they left on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Lindor had the huge night, with two home-runs and SIX RBI but in total FIVE different Mets had three hit games.

Let's not forget about Zac Thornton, who picked up his second career victory tonight. A quality start for Thornton as he went six plus innings in the victory.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down the offensive explosion by the Mets and another stellar start from Thornton.

POSTCAST: Tyrone Taylor Stays HOT, Mets AVOID Sweep By Taking Finale From Dodgers Jul 26, 2026

Show notes

Tyrone Taylor slugged another huge home run for the New York Mets, as they were able to salvage the finale of this three game series from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The win helped the Mets snap a 5-game home losing streak that dates back to before the All-Star break. Taylor's homer, his fifth since return from injury, started off a 7-run rally from the Mets that flipped the score from 3-1 Dodgers, to 8-3 Mets.

Freddy Peralta got the start and it was another tough one. Peralta labored through four innings of work, throwing 93 pitches to get 12 outs. The Mets bullpen, however, was outstanding, combining for 5 scoreless innings.

The Mets welcome in Atlanta tomorrow for a three game series as they continue this 10-game homestand.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down all the action from the series finale win for the Mets.

Show notes

Boston Red Sox shock MLB with a blockbuster trade, sending lefty starter Connelly Early to the Washington Nationals for Curtis Mead.

Did the Red Sox move too soon, and what does this say about this year’s trade market for bats and arms?

Ryan Finkelstein unpacks the surprising deal, debates Curtis Mead’s real value, and questions if Boston missed a chance at a bigger haul.

The conversation shifts to the New York Mets’ trade deadline strategy: Could Francisco Alvarez or Jared Young become hot commodities? With bats at a premium and relievers scarce, Ryan Finkelstein predicts a flurry of moves for New York.

Plus: Juan Soto hits the IL—should the Mets shut him down, prioritize their draft position, and give top prospect Nick Morabito a shot in left field? All eyes are on Queens as the deadline looms.
