Summary

The Mets’ struggles hit a boiling point after a brutal showing against the Rockies, sparking serious questions about just how bad things have become. What was supposed to be an easy series instead turns into a defining moment of the season, forcing a hard look at leadership, effort, and whether this team is already beyond fixing. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate the growing calls to fire Carlos Mendoza and explore the fantasy versus reality of replacing him with a top-tier manager like Alex Cora. They break down the team’s offensive failures, the lack of accountability, and why even a major shakeup might not be enough to turn things around as frustration reaches an all-time high.

1:05.2	this team. But I want to address something right off the top that is very, very important,
1:09.9	because I got two options right now. I can be crazy talk show host Met fan who just says a bunch of irrational stuff, or I can be real with you. Can I start off by being irrational?
