Summary

We're back after a big weekend of baseball and there's lot to discuss. The Mets have gone 3-9 over their last 12 games with three of the series coming against some of the worst teams in baseball. We're talking about if it's panic time in Queens. The Cardinals lost 2 of 3 to the lowly Tigers and Joey's prediction of an early managerial change is looking better by the day. The Padres and Dodgers squared off this weekend and we're looking at the NL West rivalry as a whole and trying to figure out why it hasn't caught more steam. Other topics include breaking down the Orioles vs Braves series, Gerrit Cole's collapse against the Rays, and Dallas's pitching stats. Enjoy and we'll see you on Wednesday!
