Summary

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop a new episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as the Mets reach 20 wins after bouncing back in a huge way from their ugly loss to the Nationals on Sunday. The guys recap New York's Monday afternoon rout of the Nationals, headlined by Brandon Nimmo tying the single-game franchise RBI record. They also discuss Edwin Diaz's inconsistency and how to balance the return of Jeff McNeil and Francisco Alvarez. Later, the guys bring back “Tales from the Pitching Lab” to break down what adjustments have helped Tylor Megill, and then go Down on the Farm to check in on Marco Vargas after his promotion to Brooklyn. Finally, The Scoreboard sees a flip and the Mailbag gets opened to feature questions about a future GM under David Stearns, a former Met that would have benefited from the pitching lab, and the gameplan once Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas return.
