Does rest, long rest in the NBA playoffs, help her hurt you? We'll get to it all coming up later on on the program, plus a new edition of posted and toasted at 1130. And of course, your calls 888808-101-19. Last night, while the Mets weren't playing, they made the decision to call up A.J. E.J. E. Teke, last year, you were very vocal that the Mets were desperate in calling up Jonah Tong and even Nolan McLean. And I think you turned out to be based on the results sort of half right.

Nolan McLean.

And I think you turned out to be based on the results sort of half right. Nolan McLean was great. Jonah Tong was not ready for the moment. Well, their pitching was very compromised, so they needed it. Well, they need A.J. Ewing. Of course. So is this a desperate move by the Mets? I mean, it's not. I just feel bad for AJ Ewing in a sense

because we know he's a

fantastic athlete. He can play everywhere.

I think he the match? I mean, it's not. I just feel bad for AJ Ewing in a sense because we know he's a fantastic

athlete. He can play everywhere. I think he, I mean, he probably was a shortstop coming up.

Played second base. But he plays second base. He plays all the outfield positions. I know

center field being the primary one. But it's, it's almost as if getting caught up when this team is the worst record-wise

team in baseball who don't hit even your star players. He's being looked at as like the savior.

And it's a lot of pressure for a 20, maybe 21-year-old kid.

21 years old, yes. It's just so much it's going to be put on, towards him. And if he falters, and then it's like, you're going to get sit back down and I don't think it's going to crush him, but it just feels like the Mets fan is going to be disappointed in their first view of him. Yeah, I think the Mets right now are at a desperation point of the season.

They're 10 games under 500, and like we talked about with the Yankees, they're 25% of the way through the season. This is no longer early. Right. It's no longer out. It's a small sample size. A quarter of the way through the season, they're on pace to lose 100 games. They're 10 games under 500, and their offense sucks. Wow.

So the Mets have, in my opinion.

It's a 60 game, 60 team, win team right now.

That's the way they're playing. That's bad. So when you're bad at this state of the season, you have a handful of choices. Choice number one, fire your manager. The Mets have clearly decided not to do that. We've called for that. We've talked at nauseam about that. The Phillies

did it. It's worked for them. The Mets aren't doing it. But that's option number one. Well, the Phillies had a guy in place already. And they also have more talent, which I'll admit. Situations are different. I'm just pointing out that that's an option. Change the manager. Option number two is do nothing. Fiddle your fingers and say, I hope things will get better.

Option number three is to trade for somebody.

That is very unrealistic in the middle of May.

Right. Number two is do nothing. Fiddle your fingers and say, I hope things will get better. Option number three is to trade for somebody. That is very unrealistic in the middle of May. Guys are just not being traded. I know Louisa Rice, a couple of years ago, was traded very early in the season. That doesn't happen often. And then the last option is to call up an infusion of youth and try to spark the team. We brought up what the Yankees did many years ago. It was 21 years ago. 2005, when they called up Robinson Canoe and Chen Ming Wong. Can you get the exact date on when they made that call, Sean, out of curiosity? Yeah, it was last week, but I'll get it. It was last week. We did this on the air that it was the anniversary. I know. I can't remember the date.

I apologize.

So, oh, so you're saying it was last week.
