Summary

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are proud to finally deliver a happy pod on the latest episode of The Mets Pod. After a week of dramatic wins, which included a sweep of the Tigers, a Subway Series victory over the Yankees, and a 10-run 12th inning in Washington, Connor and Joe recap it all - including notes on Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing, Bo Bichette, Nick Morabito, Mark Vientos, and more, plus a pitch to the audience to come up with a different nickname for the Mets youth movement that is better than "Baby Mets." The guys also go deep on the pitching, discussing Clay Holmes' injury, the call up of Zach Thornton, and what Jonah Tong has been doing Down on the Farm. The show wraps with a Mailbag featuring questions about the race back to a .500 record and what the lineup could look like once Francisco Lindor returns.
