Summary

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the Mets’ stunning Subway Series comeback against the Yankees and where it ranks among the best regular season Mets wins in the rivalry. From Tyrone Taylor’s game tying homer to Carson Benge’s walk off, the guys look at why moments like this can become unforgettable if they spark something bigger. The conversation also revisits the top Mets victories over the Yankees. Plus, the guys solve the mystery of why Howie Rose left a Mets Yankees game early, and debate whether meeting Paul McCartney is an acceptable excuse.

You mentioned before how the Mets have guys playing every day like Brett Beaties, the third baseman.

0:04.9

Mark Vientos is the first baseman.

0:21.4

Carson Benj, every day in right field, A.J. Young, every day in center field. And the one position that feels like a black hole is D.H. When Soto is in D.Hing. Yeah. And I tell you, when guys get hurt, forget they exist. I completely forgot about the existence of Jared Young,

0:23.6

who was actually playing well before he got hurt.

0:24.6

Yeah, meniscus, right?

0:21.0

Yeah. you when guys get hurt, forget they exist. I completely forgot about the existence of Jared Young, who was actually playing well before he got hurt. Yeah, meniscus, right? Yeah, he's on

0:25.4

a rehab assignment. He may be back in a week or two. True. So there's your guy? Yeah. I mean,

0:28.7

you also have the issue at catcher. Um, because he doesn't even have hit yet? Hayden Sanger?

0:34.2

Sanger? Yeah. Look, Hayden Sanger is probably a triple A player.

0:38.1

Right.

0:38.4

But I think Luis Torenz is going to play every single day.

0:40.5

Yeah, of course.

0:40.9

Even over the course of this road trip, there aren't that many day game after night games. Like, I think Terenz is just playing every day. Right. You see the usefulness of him. Right. So I think that that's one of those spots you just kind of live with.

0:51.8

The Yankees have an issue with catcher.

0:53.4

Because right now they've got two minor leaguers as their catchers in Austin Wells and J.C. Ascara and there's no one coming to save the day. We talked earlier about Ben Rice, possibly moving the catcher, something he's done before, but the Yankees have shown no inclination doing it now. And you look at the trade, and it's still too early to figure out who's

1:10.8

going to be available. You could speculate on a guy like Ryan Jeffers, but for the most part, there are no trades being made for catchers in the middle of men. And they don't have even a prospect in the minors. Not anyone near ready to help this team at the Major League level. No. We'll get back to your calls in a minute. 888, 808, 101,9, but with Sean Morash out for a good reason, a sad reason, I think he's attending a funeral today, so we miss you, Sean. You'll get your comeuppance tomorrow to explain away how the 98 Yankees somehow lost two out of three to the New York Mets. In his stead, we get Cincoed by Nico.

1:45.8

Sean Muresh in the booth, somebody, hide the castle.

1:51.7

Arctic's flying phones ringing Evans yelling.

1:54.4

No!

1:55.0

Tiki's laughing chaos, cracking nobody's in control.
