Welcome to the Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac. On today's show, we recap the week that was,

led by blown opportunities, some hot bats, and Mark Vientos capitalizing on getting another shot.

We preview the London trip and the potential return of Francisco Alvarez, go down on the farm,

make new scoreboard predictions, and of course, answer your mailbag questions.
