We'll get to Jazz Chisholm in five minutes, but let's get some more of your Met calls. Roberts and Melville. What's up, Robert? Yes, hi. Good morning, guys. I've been a Met fan since 1966, okay? I am appalled by how they've been playing so far this season. It's terrible. It's painful to watch. However, guys, everybody that is calling in and talking is all reacting to this it is April 27

manager and the players after a much larger sample size what's's the sample size? Give me the number. Two years ago, wait a minute, two years ago, they were 22 and 33 on Memorial Day. Look it out. I know. What were people saying then? Last year, in 1969, they were 18 and 23. We know what happened. I'm not saying that's going to happen, but it's way too early.

Robert, Robert, I'm going to defend myself. Am I right? Yes, I know. I'll tell you where I think you're right and I think you're wrong. In 2024, in 2024, I believed in that team. And so when they were 11 games under 500, I was sitting here on the radio saying, look, I don't if they're going to win the World Series, but they're better than this.

1:12.2

Now I look at this team...

1:13.2

Well, they're better than this.

1:14.4

There's no question. under 500. I was sitting here on the radio saying, look, I don't if they're going to win the World Series, but they're better than this.

1:12.2

Now I look at this team. They're better than this. There's no question. They're better than this. They're better than a 110 lost team, but are they a good team? You had a track record of some players that you knew weren't playing as good as they should be. Which we have on this team, too. I really? Overshed. It's going to perform a lot better.

1:27.5

Really? Come on.

1:28.6

I mean, Mark Viantos?

1:30.9

Go down the list. wish we have on this team too. I really? Bobichette is going to perform a lot better.

1:27.7

Really?

1:28.2

Come on.

1:28.8

I mean,

1:43.9

Mark Viantos? Go down the list. Bobichet. Bobachette Farhey Polanco. Yeah. Marcus Simeon? That's the problem. What are we talking about? I'll give you. Maybe Boba Chet comes back around, but not if he's surrounded by apathetic players everywhere else on the squad.

1:46.0

I'll give you Boba Shet. And I appreciate that... Carson Ben's a rookie? He's played a lot

better. but not if he's surrounded by apathetic players everywhere else on the squad. I'll give you Boba Chatt. And I appreciate

1:46.0

that. Carson Benj is a rookie? He's played a lot better recently. Of course he has, but he's a rookie. I got you. So what track record can you point to? No, I think that's the biggest problem. Boba Chet, put him to the side. You're right. I think he'll be fine. And I like the fact that he sit there in the dugout for an hour after the game,

you know, collecting his emotions.

2:01.8

But Mark Vientos, this has been going on for years.
