Summary
The Mets’ losing streak reaches 11 games, and frustration boils over as the focus turns to Carlos Mendoza’s future. With the team spiraling and no immediate fixes in sight, the debate intensifies over whether a managerial firing is the only move left to spark change or just a reaction to a much deeper problem.
A disastrous extra inning decision involving Nico Hoerner becomes the flashpoint, highlighting questionable strategy under pressure. Combined with a lifeless offense and blown opportunities, the discussion explores accountability across the roster and front office, and whether anything short of a major shakeup can stop the collapse.

| 0:00.0 | Hear that. |
| 0:01.2 | It's your big McDonald's hunger calling. And that's not just any kind of hunger. It's the kind that calls for the big arch. Stack with juicy beef, cheddar cheese, and that big arch sauce. Oh, and don't forget those crispy onions. Hungry? You are now. Serve from 11 a.m., subject to availability. Price and participation may vary. I think it's time. |
| 0:21.7 | And it doesn't mean it's his fault. It doesn't mean he's the reason the Mets have an offense that does |
| 0:25.7 | absolutely nothing. It's not his fault that Devin Williams threw a fatty right down the middle |
| 0:30.0 | to Michael Conforto. It's not all his fault. But as you sit here and the Titanic is sinking |
| 0:36.3 | and the fire is everywhere, you have to do something. |
| 0:40.9 | So you Sean Morass, filling in for Tiki, he'll be back on Wednesday. |
| 0:44.3 | If you want to call me the irrational, petulant child, you have every right. |
| 0:48.8 | But I'm just going to be open. |
| 0:51.0 | I'm going to be honest. |
| 0:52.2 | And I'm going to be brutal with everybody. |
| 1:12.1 | They got to fire the manager. Sorry, I'm a bad guy, I'm a jerk, I'm calling for someone's job. They suck. And you can't fire the GM, you can't release every player, so I'm sorry. That's what they need to do. What time is it? Let me tell you what time it is. It's 12.03 a.m. |
| 1:12.6 | Good morning. |
| 1:13.8 | Good morning, Evan. |
| 1:28.9 | Now, did you reach midnight Sunday from a jump from 8 to midnight or do we get to 10? We get to 11 on Friday Saturday? No, no, it jumped to midnight. It jumped to midnight. Here's my issue. I'll give you more reasons as we go on, but go ahead. So I'm not going to push back on that because 11 straight is 11 straight no matter how you slice it. |
| 1:28.1 | And managers in baseball, better ones than Carlos Mendoza, have been fired for |
| 1:33.4 | far less than 11 game losing streaks in season. If you're not doing that, what are you |
| 1:38.1 | doing to change it? Because Evan, on Friday afternoon, as the weekend started, as much as that |
| 1:42.6 | game kind of was an implosion early, I felt like the Mets offense late in that game was starting to show a little bit of signs. I know the pressure was off. You know, call what you want, but at least they had some runners on. Alvarez did drive in a run. I said, you know what? At least in these last three innings, the MET lineup looked like you could see tangible signs they were going to rebound. And what the hell happened on Saturday and Sunday? Now, we could talk about Devin Williams imploding, but guess what? It's a one-to-nothing game because you again can't score after you can't score on Saturday. They don't have any life in the offense. Acting like Juan Soto is just going to be this, you know, cleanser of all things. Yeah, he'll help. |
| 2:19.8 | But the lineup issues go way deeper than that. |
| 2:33.9 | And you're not making any trades right now. Carlos Mendoza, just for the sign of the clubhouse that this can't stand has to be fired. You hit on it. What do you do? What are you going to do about it? They're in the course of an 11-game winning streak. and one option is to say, hey, there's too much talent in the room. |
| 2:34.1 | Yeah. |
