Summary

The Mets’ season is unraveling in real time, and frustration is boiling over as the losing streak hits 12 games. What was supposed to be a competitive roster now looks disjointed, lifeless, and lacking direction, leaving fans and analysts questioning everything from lineup construction to leadership. With no clear path forward, the conversation turns from early season struggles to a full blown crisis. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down the dysfunction, from questionable managerial decisions to a roster that simply is not producing when it matters most. They debate whether drastic changes are inevitable, explore the historical reality of teams that spiral this badly, and ask the uncomfortable question every fan is thinking: is this team already finished? Plus, they mix in reactions from fans, a look across town at the Yankees’ success, and whether anything can realistically spark a turnaround.

It was more than that.

They announced 32,000, but okay, sure, whatever you say.

0:34.0

You get perfection from Nolan McLean for five innings.

0:38.5

And yet despite that, they find a way to lose.

0:43.7

They are true losers in every meaning of the word loser.

0:50.5

And all you could do now, Teak, I think, is chuckle at the patheticness that now is engulfing all of us the 2026 New York match.

1:00.2

It's funny for a troll standpoint last night in our chat, all I could do was send trolls of Sean.

1:08.3

That was supposed to be you, Sean, the blue troll that was like shuffling around.

1:11.7

Because all you can do now is troll and laugh at what David Stern supposedly was trying to do.

1:18.4

But what David Stearns actually did, Evan, is put together a disparate group of players who don't really know each other well, who don't work together well. Again, this is

1:29.0

baseball, so it doesn't matter. It's a team individual sport, as we all know, but it feels like

1:34.6

there is a, there's no glue holding this team together. There's nothing that says, I'm going to

1:42.0

get this hit or make this play for you.

1:46.4

We're doing this together.

1:47.6

It feels like a bunch of individuals led by a man who doesn't have a plan.
