Summary

The Mets took 2-of-3 in Detroit but left with a bad taste in their mouth with another bad bullpen performance by Helsley. This is what happens when starting pitching can’t go five innings. They may ask Kodai Senga to go to the minors for a few starts but he would have to approve that. We also talked more about what type of Long Island crowd we’re going to get at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. A guy calls in who has a business where he collects golf balls at Bethpage at night. Jerry returns for an update, but first he wonders how the volleyball girls on TV right now can afford to get to Bangkok. Jerry Jones was on Good Morning America talking about being a great salesman. Al Dukes is not happy with commercials on Red Zone this season. The Yankees lost in Houston and the home plate umpire was brutal. Helsley talked about his recent performances not being so great. In the final segment of the hour, Gio tells the tragic story of someone local who passed away.

0:20.4	1019. So you take two out of three from
0:26.3	Detroit, but you leave with a bad taste in your mouth with another hellsy bullpen disaster.
0:32.1	And you see another starting pitcher that doesn't go past five innings. Right. So it gives
0:37.0	you just one more reminder as you have a couple of really good
0:40.4	outings and good games and you're like, oh man, all right, you got Nolan McLean pitching great,
0:44.8	you got the offense pitching great, but it just doesn't take so long until the issues with
0:50.6	this team crop up and you see them both in the same game with the starting
0:55.5	pitching not going deep into a game and then a bullpen blowing it. When you have a guy as talented
0:59.8	as Helsley is and you traded for him and he's part of the plan that's going to get you back to the
1:06.8	NLCS in the World Series and he's been this bad and you don't have a full season to try to figure it out. I'm not sure exactly what you do. I mean, I know everybody wants to... What do you do with Soto? And I'm not talking about Juan Soto. I'm talking about Gregory Soto. Yeah, I was going to say... Yeah, he stinks. But Helsley, though, is... He was supposed to mean so much more to this team than Gregory Soto was.
1:29.7	So it's like... But Helsley, though, is, he was supposed to mean so much more to this team than Gregory Soto was.
1:34.8	So it's like you can't just completely give up on the guy.
1:37.6	Because the ceiling is so high.
1:39.6	If he does figure it out, it's such a weapon.
1:51.8	But, I mean, essentially every Met fan that I heard talking about this yesterday and I talked to is ready to just release him to flat out DFA the guy because he has been that bad. And it's true.
