Summary
The Mets enter the break buried in frustration after another costly mistake from Francisco Lindor and another late collapse from Devin Williams. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber debate whether Luke Weaver should immediately become the closer, whether he should be traded, and which young players offer any real hope for the future.
The Yankees provide a more encouraging story after four straight wins and a weekend filled with late comebacks. Shaun and Tiki discuss whether the lineup is learning to survive without Aaron Judge, why the offense still feels incomplete, and how the tightening race with the Rays and Red Sox could shape the second half.

| 0:00.0 | When I left you, Tiki, they're depressing, seemingly a week and a half ago before the 4th of July, we had declared we never talk Mets again. |
| 0:06.9 | Right. |
| 0:07.3 | But seemingly every day while I was gone, I felt like there was more MET nonsense, including last week with the Francisco Lindor, like, was there a trade rumor, was there not? |
| 0:16.7 | He gets asked about it post game yesterday. |
| 0:19.2 | Woody Wave is no trade. |
| 0:20.8 | He gives the no trade. |
| 0:21.7 | He gives the no comment. |
| 0:25.2 | You have Devin Williams imploding after Lindor himself makes an error. |
| 0:30.2 | You have the Mets on Friday losing when the Red Sox don't land at Laquarty until 5 o'clock at night. |
| 0:35.5 | I mean, this weekend just perfectly encapsulated what kind of season it's been for the Mets. |
| 0:38.5 | They sit 17 games under 500. |
| 0:43.3 | Antiki, as it stands right now, Lindor here to stay, but the Mets are disaster. You know, the reason we keep having to talk about the Mets is because of how bad they play |
| 0:49.0 | individually every single game. |
| 0:50.7 | It's one guy or, and I don't talk about every game, Francisco Lendor is bad every game or Freddie Peralta's bad every game. I'm not talking about that. But individually, they take turns ruining opportunities to win baseball games. And it's been the M.O. From basically the beginning of the season till now. Yesterday, obviously, it was Francisco Lindorre making an error. |
| 1:11.4 | We know what happens with this team in the ninth inning when they make errors. |
| 1:15.1 | Devin Williams implodes. He can't get out of his own way. Ultimately, they blow a chance to |
| 1:21.5 | avoid beating swept. They still would only be, maybe 17 games, 16 games below 500 if they hadn't |
| 1:27.4 | lost yesterday. |
| 1:28.1 | So it's neither here nor there. |
| 1:29.6 | Their season is done. |
| 1:31.0 | But it feels like you can't help but get pissed off if you're a Met fan about the ineptitude. |
| 1:37.5 | These are professional baseball players. |
