Summary

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo look back at a tough week that was for the Mets, and look ahead to the final stretch in the chase for a playoff spot. Connor and Joe feel relief after Pete Alonso’s walk-off home run that snapped a long losing streak, and praise the early big league work by young starters Nolan McLean and Brandon Sproat. The guys also go long on the problems at hand, including the veteran members of the starting staff, Kodai Senga trying to find himself in Syracuse, an inconsistent offense, the readiness of Jonah Tong, and the uneven performance of an overworked bullpen. The show then goes Down on the Farm to check in on the minor league playoffs, and goes into the Mailbag to answer questions about the Mets’ chances to get the third NL Wild Card, and what their starting rotation would look like in the postseason if they got there.
