POSTCAST: Carson Benge's Two CLUTCH RBI Help Mets AVOID Sweep May 28, 2026

Show notes

A pair of HR's and a pair of RBI singles from Carson Benge helped the New York Mets snap their five game losing streak and defeat the Cincinnati Reds, 4-2.

Juan Soto and Eric Wagaman each went yard in their first plate appearances to give the Mets an early 2-0 lead. Carson Benge added some much need insurance in both the 5th and 7th innings to keep the Mets in front by two.

Devin Williams made it more difficult than it had to be, but had a bounce back outing and secured the save.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down the Mets doing just enough offensively to snap their losing streak.

Are the New York Mets Just a BAD Baseball Team? | Roster Shake-up Highlights Lack of GOOD Options May 27, 2026

Show notes

New York Mets suffer a fifth straight loss as frustration mounts—are they officially a lost cause in the NL playoff race?

Ryan Finkelstein dissects a deflating defeat to the Cincinnati Reds, spotlighting David Peterson’s rocky start, Mark Vientos’ inconsistency, and continued struggles from Brett Baty and MJ Melendez.

Questionable lineup decisions, including Eric Wagaman’s surprising promotion over Christian Pache and the handling of Nick Morabito, underscore just how dire the team’s options have become.

Roster turmoil deepens the crisis for the Mets, who now sit at 22-33, matching their bleak 2024 start.

Can injured stars Francisco Alvarez, Francisco Lindor, and Jorge Polanco spark a miracle turnaround, or is it already too late?

With pivotal matchups against the Miami Marlins, Seattle Mariners, and Philadelphia Phillies looming, Ryan Finkelstein weighs whether firing Carlos Mendoza or a surprise surge is the Mets’ only hope to salvage this unraveling season.

POSTCAST: Stuck On REPEAT As Bad Start And Cold Bats SINK Mets For FIFTH Straight Loss May 27, 2026

Show notes

For the second straight day, the New York Mets fell to the Cincinnati Reds by a final of 7-2.

Well this was like a really bad sequel. The Mets basically played the same game they did yesterday. David Peterson struggled like Nolan McLean did. The bats were cold (outside of Juan Soto) just like they were yesterday.

Tonight was the 6th straight game the Mets scored two runs or fewer, the longest stretch since 2015. It was also the fifth straight loss for the Mets, dropping them to their lowest mark of the season, 11 games below .500.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks it all down.

New York Mets Could SOON Get a LIFT From the IL | Is There Enough Time Left to SAVE the Season? May 26, 2026

Show notes

New York Mets welcome key reinforcements as Jared Young and AJ Minter near returns, but is it too late to salvage the season?

Ryan Finkelstein evaluates the impact of injuries and roster moves, examining how returns from Francisco Lindor, Francisco Alvarez, and Jorge Polanco could reshape the Mets’ playoff ambitions.

With MJ Melendez struggling and Tyrone Taylor sidelined, options like Christian Pache and Christian Arroyo enter the spotlight for much-needed roster depth.

Finkelstein breaks down the Mets’ shifting lineup strategy against right-handed and left-handed pitching, raises questions about bullpen stability, and provides updates on Kodai Senga’s rehab progress.

Can the Mets gain momentum before Lindor and Alvarez rejoin the squad?

Upcoming series against the Cincinnati Reds and Miami Marlins could prove decisive as the team battles to stay in contention and avoid becoming sellers at the trade deadline.

POSTCAST: Nolan McLean Struggles AGAIN | Allows SEVEN Runs As Bats Still Searching For Answers May 25, 2026

Show notes

For the second straight outing, Nolan McLean struggled and the New York Mets fell to the Cincinnati Reds, 7-2.

Well, McLean is the big story in this one. After allowing six earned runs his last time out, it was not the turnaround that McLean was hoping for. Pitching just 3.1 innings, McLean allowed 7 runs for the shortest outing of his big league career. Command remains the issue, with McLean only throwing first pitch strikes to 9 of the 19 batters that he faced.

Offensively, there were hits but not a whole of scoring. The Mets scored their two runs late with the game well in hand for the Reds.

Today makes it four in a row the Mets have lost, and drop them back to 10 games below .500.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down all the action.

EMBARRASSING COLLAPSE: New York Mets Offense IMPLODES | Is This the Worst Lineup in Baseball? May 25, 2026

Show notes

New York Mets' lineup collapses, scoring just two runs in 27 innings as they’re swept by the Miami Marlins—are the Mets spiraling out of playoff contention?

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the Mets’ offensive failures, from Marcus Semien and Bo Bichette’s alarming slumps to missed opportunities for Brett Baty and Mark Vientos.

With injuries sidelining Francisco Lindor, Francisco Alvarez, and Luis Robert, the Mets are forced to rely on rookies like AJ Ewing and Carson Benge, while veteran bats continue to disappoint.

Key topics include Christian Scott’s standout start, the pressure on Jared Young’s potential return, and management’s struggle to patch an anemic offense.

Ryan Finkelstein previews a pivotal home series against the Cincinnati Reds, spotlighting pitching matchups versus Nick Lodolo and Chase Burns. Can returning stars and marginal reinforcements spark a turnaround, or are the Mets destined to be trade deadline sellers?

POSTCAST: Mets Offense Remains MISSING, As Marlins SWEEP The Mets May 24, 2026

Show notes

The New York Mets were shutout by the Miami Marlins on Sunday, 4-0 to drop their third straight game. It is the 15th time so far this season that the Mets have been held to one run or fewer.

Juan Soto was a late scratch because of an illness that is going around the team and with his absence went the Mets offense as of late. This was a scoreless game through 8 innings, but the Marlins walked it off with a grand-slam to complete the sweep.

It was the best start of Christian Scott's season, going 5.2 innings and working around some trouble a couple of times.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down the ineffectiveness of the Mets offense and how the margin for error is so slim for this team.
