POSTCAST: David Peterson STRUGGLES Early, Bats COULDN'T Solve Ryne Nelson Apr 08, 2026

Show notes

For the second straight time out, David Peterson struggled early as the Mets saw their win streak snapped in a 7-2 loss.

Peterson struggled with his sinker once again and gave up 5 runs over the first two innings of this one. He did settle down to retire 11 of the final 12 he faced, but the damage was already done.

The Mets offense didn't haven an answer for Ryne Nelson, who just overwhelmed them this afternoon with fastballs. They were able to put together some attempts of a rally late, but nothing really serious developed. A lone bright spot may be Bo Bichette's bat. He picked up his third multi hit game in the last five.

It'll be a WBC final rematch tomorrow night, with Nolan McLean matching up against Eduardo Rodriguez for the D-backs.

POSTCAST: Ronny Mauricio WALK OFF Delivers FOURTH Straight Mets Win Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

In his first at-bat of the season, Ronny Mauricio delivered a walk-off hit and the New York Mets completed the comeback for a 4-3 win, their fourth straight.

It was a cold, cold day in New York. The Mets jumped out to an early 2-0 lead against Zac Gallen and the D-backs, but Freddy Peralta couldn't get out of the fifth inning and the D-backs took back the lead.

Another 8th inning rally by the Mets tied it up at 3 and after scoreless outings from Devin Williams and Luke Weaver, Ronny Mauricio delivered the walk-off it.

It'll be another afternoon and cold day in Queens as the Mets will go for five in a row and David Peterson will look to heat back up.

POSTCAST: Four Run 8th Inning RALLY Secures Mets THIRD Straight W Apr 05, 2026

Show notes

The New York Mets rallied for four runs in the 8th inning to comeback and beat the San Francisco Giants, 5-2.

San Francisco won the early pitcher's duel between Logan Webb and Kodai Senga, but the Mets were able to strike against the bullpen in the 8th to take the lead.

Jorge Polanco got things started in that inning with a one-out double. Luis Torrens, as a pinch hitter delivered the go ahead two-RBI double and the Mets were able to add on two more insurance runs.

The Mets take three of four from the Giants in the bay area and finish off the road trip 4-3. It's a day off tomorrow before starting up a three game series back at Citi Field against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

POSTCAST: Bats Stay HOT As Clay Holmes And Mets DOMINATE Giants Apr 05, 2026

Show notes

In what felt like a continuation of last night's win, the New York Mets stay hot offensively to beat the San Francisco Giants, 9-0.

The Mets took advantage of some misplays in the field early to jump out to a 3-0 lead. And then, in the 5th inning, blew the game open with a five run frame capped off by a pinch-hit 3-run HR by Tyrone Taylor.

We also can't forget about Clay Holmes, who became the first Met to pitch into the 7th inning this season and he was excellent tonight leading the way for the Mets to secure their first shutout of 2026.
