POSTCAST: DISASTROUS Return To Rotation For David Peterson, Mets UNABLE To Build Momentum Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

David Peterson struggled in his return to the rotation, as the New York Mets were blown out in a 14-2 loss.

For as comfortable as last night's win was for the Mets, tonight was the complete opposite. They were down 2-0 before they even got to bat as the Washington Nationals got to Peterson for three hits in the first inning.

It was, however, the 4th inning were things collapsed for Peterson and the Mets. All nine Nationals got to bat, they scored a run via a single, a walk and a hit batter before Brady House brought the house down with a grand slam to give the Nationals a 9-1 lead.

The offense for the Mets was basically Juan Soto and Juan Soto alone. He had a three hit night that included a solo home, his second his two games. But that was basically it.

They've now lost 16 of their last 19 and are 3-5 on this current homestand.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down the Mets falling to the Nationals.

POSTCAST: Mets Take ADVANTAGE Of Miscues, BREAKOUT For 8 Runs In Win Apr 29, 2026

Show notes

The New York Mets took advantage of an error, leading to a seven run inning and an 8-0 win.

It might have been exactly what the Mets needed, as they put together an 7-run inning in the 4th to overwhelm the Washington Nationals.

Bo Bichette got things start off hot, taking the first pitch of the game deep and putting the Mets in front. The 4th inning saw the Mets bat around and score seven runs, capped off by a Juan Soto home run.

Clay Holmes was brilliant again, going six scoreless and lowering his season ERA to 1.75.

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down the opener of this three-game series with the Washington Nationals.

Show notes

New York Mets shake up their rotation as Kodai Senga lands on the IL with lumbar spine inflammation, paving the way for top prospect Christian Scott’s return. Is this a well-timed move to recharge the Mets' pitching staff, or cause for concern with Senga’s health?
