POSTCAST: Carson Benge WALKS OFF The Tigers, But Mets LOSE Juan Soto To Injury May 14, 2026

Show notes

Carson Benge delivered his first career walk-off, as the New York Mets came back for the second straight night to defeat the Detroit Tigers, 3-2.

Benge, unfortunately, was the cause of both of the Tigers runs after he couldn't get to a ball in the first inning. But he was able to make up for it with three hits, include the walk-off in the 10th.

It wasn't all good news, however, as the Mets suffered another injury with Juan Soto leaving the game after fouling a ball off his ankle.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down the walk-off win and the Soto injury.

POSTCAST: A.J. Ewing's BRILLIANT Debut Fuels HUGE Night For Mets Offense May 13, 2026

Show notes

A.J. Ewing had an unbelievable MLB debut and the New York Mets broke out offensively to beat the Detroit Tigers, 10-2.

Well, there were questions about whether or not Ewing could provide a spark for the Mets offense. Those questions were answered rather quickly. The 21-year-old in his MLB debut was on base four times, drove in two runs and hit a triple for his first big league hit.

And the rest of the team responded. Every starter for the Mets had a hit. The top of the lineup combined for 5 hits and 3 RBI's.

Oh yeah, and Freddy Peralta through six good innings tonight as well.

It was a type of game the Mets haven't had many of this season. POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down the opener against the Tigers.

Should the Mets Call on the Kids to IGNITE a SPARK?! | Who's Best Fit: Ewing, Morabito or Clifford? May 11, 2026

Show notes

New York Mets’ offense sputters as lineup frustrations mount—should top prospects get the call-up?

Ryan Finkelstein spotlights the Mets’ struggles with Andy Ibanez, Austin Slater, and Tyrone Taylor, questioning whether sticking to left-right matchups still makes sense when the team desperately needs a spark.

Key discussion points include the case for promoting prospects Nick Morabito, AJ Ewing, and Ryan Clifford from Syracuse to boost production, and the challenges of balancing prospect development with immediate roster needs.

Finkelstein breaks down recent performances, the impact of injuries to Luis Robert Jr. and Jorge Polanco, and possible solutions like giving Brett Baty everyday starts or considering Christian Pache for his lefty-mashing ability.

Can new blood from the farm system rescue the Mets’ season, or will lineup tinkering fall short as critical home games approach?

Sunday's Game Made Stearns, Mendoza, and Co. Look Like Idiots May 10, 2026

Show notes

New York Mets squander road trip momentum with baffling lineup choices and costly errors—are Stearns and Mendoza steering the team off course?

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the Mets’ frustrating series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, spotlighting Andy Ibanez’s fielding woes, Austin Slater’s questionable placement in the three-hole, and Brett Baty’s mystifying benching.

The episode questions whether the team’s reliance on lefty-righty splits and undervalued depth pieces is undermining their ability to capitalize on strong pitching.

Key discussion points include the ripple effects of letting Pete Alonso walk, Bo Bichette's underwhelming production and contract outlook, and the pitfalls of signing injury-prone players like Jorge Polanco and Luis Robert.

Finkelstein calls out the front office’s missteps in roster construction and challenges listeners to consider if sticking with “their guys” would serve the Mets better than rolling with castoffs from the bottom of MLB. Can the Mets reverse this downward spiral before the season slips away?

POSTCAST: LIFELESS Offense And Three ERRORS Add Up To A Series L May 10, 2026

Show notes

Three errors and just four hits was the recipe for a New York Mets series loss, as they fell to the D-backs 5-1.

It was more of the same for the Mets, who didn't get their first hit since the sixth inning. And dating back to the 5th inning of yesterday's game, the Mets went 22 straight batters without getting on base.

The Mets went the entire series without getting a hit from the top three of their lineup, making that much more difficult for the offense to do much of anything.

Pitching wise, the Mets were betrayed by some sloppy defense. They committed three errors and it was the last one that came back to bite them as part of a three-run inning for Arizona that saw the put the game out of reach.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down all the action.

POSTCAST: Bats INCONSISTENT Once Again, Mets Lose One-Run Game May 10, 2026

Show notes

The offense for the New York Mets was once again missing, as they fell to the Arizona D-backs 2-1.

Last night the Mets were able to play a tie game and find the big hit in extras. Tonight, the bats were cold again and the D-backs did just enough against Clay Holmes to earn the win.

You've heard the story before. Much of the game saw the Mets bats be lifeless. They did not have a baserunner after the 5th inning. The top three of the order did not get a hit. They had three hits the whole game.

Offense remains the long-term concern with this team, despite getting another good start from Clay Holmes.

POSTCAST: Mark Vientos' 2 RBI Night Fuels Extra Innings WIN In The Desert May 09, 2026

Show notes

Behind a 2 RBI night from Mark Vientos, the New York Mets defeated the Arizona D-backs 3--1 in extras.

The bats were mostly cold on a hot desert night in Phoenix, but Vientos provided all of the offense the Mets would need to move to 5-2 on this road trip.

Coming into the night, the Mets were 1-6 in games started by Nolan McLean. The Mets ace delivered six solid innings, but it felt like when he left the game tied at one he was going to suffer an all too familiar fate.

In extras, Vientos got it started quickly with the go-ahead RBI double. Carson Benge added on an insurance run of his own and Tobias Myers shut the door to pick up the save.
