What a crappy weekend for Mets baseball. Friday ends after 5 innings, no game Saturday, maybe no game Sunday and then IL stints and call downs take place. Evan gets into all that and more on this rain filled episode.

Episode 118 - Mets vs Nationals series Apr 28, 2023

Show notes

The Nationals take the series over the Mets as the bats were kept silent for two out of three games. It was almost a clean sweep until Pete Alonso did his thing. If they didn't find a way to be victorious Mets fans may have started to panic. Instead we get a glimpse of joy before we take on the Atlanta Braves in a 4 game series coming up.

Brett Baty needs to play every day Apr 28, 2023

Show notes

The offense looked terrible for the first two games of this Nationals series. One of the bigger issues is he keeps sitting verse left handers. The way the rest of the team is hitting it's time for Buck to change old habits and let Brett play.
