It's the amazing RICO Bronia podcast with your host, Evan Roberts.

0:08.4

Rico Bronia!

0:13.1

Drive home edition of the RICO.

0:16.2

As the New York Mets score an absurd amount of runs, they bail out Clay Holmes. They bail out the manager. Pete Alonzo has a party. It really was a party for Pete Alonzo. And the Mets, more important than anything, win a game they really, really needed to win. I understand that Pete Brake in the record is very cool. He actually tacked on with a second. It was a fun night at

0:38.2

city feel. They hit a ton of home runs. They ran out of fireworks, no joke. But the most important

0:43.6

thing is that this freaking team won a game. And winning streaks have to start somewhere.

0:50.7

So I am not going to be delusional and tell you this is the beginning of an eight-game winning streak, though I hope it is.

I'm not going to tell you that all the issues that we have witnessed over the last two months have been solved,

1:32.2

important thing is that this offense not only scored early against Spencer Strider,

1:37.9

and they scored often. And then they tacked it on, Austin Cox. The one guy they couldn't

1:43.3

hit was the position player Luke Williams.

1:46.2

But we have to start with the offense, not just Pete Alonzo, everyone else, Brandon Nimmo

1:51.2

with an incredibly clutched three-run, home run after they blew the lead. This offense needed it.

1:56.8

And this offense is capable of days like this where just about everybody hits.
