That's boomer and geo and you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your pods. So look, a frustrating night, but I'm still, like I'm not worried about the Mets missing the postseason. I'm annoyed that they lost a tight game to the Phillies, and we can break down why they lost that game and the annoying things about it. But I still feel very comfortable in the Mets getting to the postseason and then being dangerous once they get to the playoffs. Okay, listen, I understand the confidence to an extent, but that's too much for me. But I'm also not going to be completely on the other side and say Mets are, Mets are done, it's over.

But I do think that this could go either way.

I really did. Mets are not playing well.

The teams that's chasing them right now, the Giants are playing well.

The math is still in their favor, but the recent snapshot, they have not.

Like, it's been a while, like where they just haven't looked crisp,

whether it's the National Series where they lost a couple, whether it's the Marlin series where they lost three. Like, the Mets have been a little lippy for a while here, but I got to tell you why I am, I am worried in one regard. And it's not the conventional regard. I mean, obviously, the offense is not doing a whole lot now. Of course, without the young kids saving the pitching staff, I mean, the Mets will be in tatters right now.

Then they would not be a playoff team. I got to tell you, I think something that's been hinted at a little bit this year, I've thrown a few lines in the water. But the more I watch this team in big spots and high leverage situations, I'm worried about the manager. Now, let me be very clear about this. This is not getting on the air and saying fire

Mendoza. I think that he did a really good job last year, and I think that he can grow into

a highly above average manager. But the man makes a lot of mistakes when mistakes cannot

be made. It's pretty evident, whether it's the bullpen, sticking with a guy too long, or pulling somebody out too early, or not pinch running or pinch hitting, he's been pretty sloppy, Sal. Yeah, I don't agree with that. I mean, I think last night in particular, I had a major, major, major issue with pinch hitting Luis de la Cunia.

He did it for Cedric Mullins, who by the way, stinks. No, he's been terrible. See, that to me is on David Stearns. If the Mets don't go far on the playoffs or for whatever reason don't make the puffs, it's on Stearns and his acquisitions at the deadlines. We all said at the same time, Mullins, what's he really, nothing moved? meanwhile Harrison Bader lighting up for the Phillies.

Anyway, Mollins can't get a bunt down.

They pinch it for him later in the game, and they do so with the Luis time. Mullins, what's he really, nothing move? Meanwhile, Harrison Bader lighting up for the Phillies.

Anyway, Mullins can't get a bunt down. They pinch it for him later in the game, and they do so with the Luisano, Helalcunian, who I love. I said this to Mendi's face when I went out to City Field and spoke to Carl's Mendoza in the locker room. Anyway, I said it to his face, dude, when we actually had them on that next

day or whatever that week,

dude, when are you going to start valuing

defense instead of offense? Like, I want to it to his face, dude, when we actually had him on that next day or whatever that week,

dude, when are you going to start valuing defense instead of offense?

Like, I want a cune on this team as a weapon.
