It's the amazing RICO Bronia podcast with your host, Evan Roberts.

It is indeed episode 516 of Rico Boronia.

On today's edition of the Rico Bronia, we will talk about the shocking come from behind victory that the Mets put together on Monday night against the Angels.

But we will spend most of our time analyzing what David Stern said at his press conference.

Now remember, David Stearns meets the media during every homestand.

Sometimes it's a good feeling. Sometimes it's a bad feeling. When Kodai Sanga didn't have it, and that's the best way to just describe Senga's performance, it was a dud. His command was off, and you can see it right from the get-go. You know, when he got ahead of Zach Netto to start the game and then lost him, I mean, he could not command his ghost for it. He ends up walking Zach Netto. And it turned out to be kind of

not a big deal because Senga got the next three guys out. And so we've seen Kodi work through trouble before, but it was a sign of things to come. He gives up the home run to Logan O'Hoppy, but then the third inning was an out-and-out disaster. And some of it was bad luck. I mean, he gives up a little cheap
