POSTCAST: Clay Holmes BRILLIANT As Mark Vientos Delivers HIT That SNAPS Losing Streak Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

It wasn't pretty, but the New York Mets have snapped their losing streak defeating the Minnesota Twins 3--2.

The night started with Clay Holmes and his brilliance. Another start where he was able to go seven innings and he did it mostly by throwing his sinker.

Offensively, the Mets got started early. They turned a leadoff double by Bo Bichette into an early lead. They responded in the 4th to the Twins tying the game by quickly taking the lead back. But after the Twins tied it, it was Mark Vientos who delivered the hit that put the Mets in front for good.

It's not all good news, as Francisco Lindor left the game with left calf tightness. That's the same injury that Juan Soto just returned from tonight.

The Mets will go for the series win (when's the last time we said that?) tomorrow.

Juan Soto's Return Isn't a CURE-ALL | Mets NEED to Make Changes to Find Their Winning Combination Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

New York Mets weigh bold roster changes as Juan Soto returns, but can one star revive a struggling lineup?

Ryan Finkelstein explores whether Soto's activation will truly spark a turnaround, or if Francisco Lindor, Luis Robert Jr., and Bo Bichette must also step up.

With Brett Baty and Carson Benge under pressure and Ronny Mauricio crushing Triple-A pitching, is it time for a fresh face at first base?

Key topics feature Mauricio’s three-homer outburst for Syracuse, Christian Scott joining the rotation, and tough choices looming for Sean Manaea, David Peterson, and Tobias Myers in the pitching staff.

Finkelstein examines manager Carlos Mendoza’s lineup experiments, touches on potential bullpen shakeups with A.J. Minter’s looming return, and asks: will the Mets' calculated risks finally end their losing streak or just prolong the misery?

Don’t miss this critical analysis of the Mets’ hunt for a new winning formula.

SPIRAL Continues, Mets Drop 12th in a Row! | Waste Great Effort By Nolan McLean and Francisco Lindor Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

New York Mets' collapse continues as a strong outing from Nolan McLean and a three-run blast by Francisco Lindor go to waste in their 12th straight defeat. Can the return of Juan Soto ignite a turnaround, or are the Mets destined for a historic skid?

Ryan Finkelstein recaps the gut-wrenching loss at Citi Field, spotlighting McLean’s perfect start through five innings and Lindor’s much-needed spark at the plate.

The show dissects defensive lapses from Mark Vientos, Devin Williams’ meltdown in a tied ninth, and the offense’s vanishing act against the Minnesota Twins’ bullpen.

Hot topics include Carlos Mendoza’s bullpen decisions, the club’s mounting pressure, and whether upsides from Francisco Lindor’s performance and Juan Soto’s return can change the momentum. Mets fans are left wondering—will this losing streak finally end, or is rock bottom still ahead?

POSTCAST: Mets WASTE Lindor HR, Another Good McLean Outing For 12th STRAIGHT Loss Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

A 3-0 lead? Five perfect from Nolan McLean? It didn't matter, as the New York Mets lost their 12th straight game.

It was the perfect storm for the Mets early. Nolan McLean was looking like his dominate self and the Mets jumped out to their first lead of two runs or more since April 7th, thanks to a Francisco Lindor 3-run HR.

But, McLean hit a wall in the 6th and 7th innings and that allowed the Minnesota Twins to tie it up. And then Devin Williams had his third straight bad outing, allowing two runs and not recording an out.

The Mets did not get a hit off of the Twins bullpen, who entered the game with an ERA north of 5. Now matching their longest losing streak since 2002, they'll hope to not make it an unlike 13th loss tomorrow afternoon.

The 2026 NL MVP Narrative is SET for Juan Soto | Can Soto's Return SAVE the Mets Season?! Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

Juan Soto's return could ignite the New York Mets’ season and spark a bold NL MVP push.

As the Mets reel from a crushing 11-game losing streak, can the superstar outfielder’s bat and leadership rescue a slumping lineup and rewrite the season narrative?

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the Mets’ upcoming series against the Minnesota Twins, analyzing how Soto’s presence impacts Francisco Lindor, Bo Bichette, and the rest of New York’s offense.

Key topics include strategic rotation moves with Noah McLean, Clay Holmes, and Freddy Peralta, opportunities in the schedule with games versus the Rockies and Nationals, and realistic paths back to playoff contention.

The show also explores lineup optimization, the pressure on underperforming hitters, and the energy Soto needs to bring, similar to leading the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic.

Will Soto’s comeback save the Mets and launch his MVP candidacy?

Should the New York Mets FIRE Carlos Mendoza? | If Not, What Other DRASTIC Changes Can Be Made? Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

New York Mets spiral with 11-game skid—will a managerial shakeup save the season?

Ryan Finkelstein tackles mounting fan frustration, asking if Carlos Mendoza is truly to blame for the team’s prolonged struggles or if someone else should pay the price for the Mets’ collapse.

Key segments focus on Francisco Lindor and Devin Williams defending Mendoza, the shocking losing streaks since Kodai Senga’s injury last year, and how recent front office decisions have impacted the clubhouse.

Ryan breaks down questionable in-game calls, addresses calls for Carlos Beltrán as a potential replacement, and explores possible roster shakeups including demotions for Brett Baty and Carson Benge, plus a bold case for bringing up Christian Scott and Ronny Mauricio.

Mets fans get the latest pulse on Juan Soto’s looming return and how lineup changes could reignite playoff hopes. Is a drastic move from Steve Cohen coming—or can the Mets reclaim control before it’s too late?

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the Mets’ heartbreaking loss to the Chicago Cubs, spotlighting Devin Williams’ blown save and the offense’s lackluster showing against Javier Assad and the Cubs bullpen.

With Juan Soto rumored to return, Ryan Finkelstein assesses whether the Mets have any hope of turning things around before the season slips away.

Are major roster changes or even a shift in the coaching staff on the horizon? Don’t miss this frank, emotionally charged breakdown of whether the Mets can climb out of their early-season hole.

POSTCAST: Two Outs Away, Mets BLOW 9th Inning Lead And Lose 11TH Straight Game Apr 19, 2026

Show notes

Two outs away. The New York Mets were two outs away from snapping their losing streak. Instead, they lost in extras for their 11th straight loss.

It was another rough day for the Mets offensively, as an MJ Melendez solo HR accounted for the only run. The Mets pitching was brilliant until the 9th inning, where Devin Williams served up up the game-tying hit to former Met Michael Conforto.

In extras, the offense couldn't get a run across and that was it as the Cubs didn't need a hit to score Pete Crow-Armstrong to walk it off in the 10th.

They have now tied the 2004 Mets with 11 straight losses. A day off tomorrow, with the Minnesota Twins in town for a three game series starting on Tuesday.

Could the Mets' Season Be OVER Before it Even Really Starts? | 10-Game Losing Streak and Counting Apr 19, 2026

Show notes

New York Mets spiral as losing streak hits double digits—with history definitely not on their side. Can a last-minute pitching shakeup and Juan Soto’s return rescue the season before it slips away?

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the Mets’ brutal 10-game skid, casting doubt on the team’s odds of climbing back to contention.

Key discussion points include Tobias Myers replacing David Peterson in a desperate rotation move, the impact of Jorge Polanco’s injury, and why Ronny Mauricio keeps getting overlooked despite his hot bat in Syracuse.

The episode examines Francisco Lindor and Brett Baty’s slumps, the failure of recent roster changes like Tommy Pham and MJ Melendez, and the mounting pressure on David Stearns.

Will the Mets find stability, or are even bolder moves needed to right the ship? The season may not be over, but the hole is getting deeper by the day.

POSTCAST: UNABLE To Find Answers, Mets Drop TENTH Straight Game Apr 18, 2026

Show notes

An early lead. Out hitting the Chicago Cubs. None of it mattered as the New York Mets have now lost TEN games in a row.

Mark Vientos got the Mets out to a 1-0 lead early with a solo home run, although the lead was short lived as Ian Happ got Freddy Peralta for a homer of his own to tie the game.

Peralta and Cubs starter Jameson Taillon settled in after that and traded zeros. That was until the 6th inning where a pair of two-out walks knocked Peralta out of the game. Brooks Raley came in and faced pinch hitter Carson Kelly. One pitch later and the Cubs had a 4-1 lead.

The Mets had a chance in the 8th, as they got the first two men on to start the inning but were only able to produce one run out of the opportunity.

Their 7-14 start is tied for third worst in franchise history and they'll have to win tomorrow to avoid matching the 11 game losing streak from 2004.
