Summary
After Wednesday night's loss, Sal confessed for the first time that his "gut" tells him the Mets will miss the playoffs. He attributes his grim new outlook not just to the loss itself, but to the team's overall struggle to win consistently since June. Sal pointed to a lack of trustworthy starting pitching, citing David Peterson's continued struggles and the team's reliance on a rookie like Jonah Tong in a crucial game. This combination of an untrustworthy rotation, a looming threat from the Arizona Diamondbacks, and a general feeling of desperation has led Sal to believe the Mets are playing with fire and are bound to get burned before they can clinch a wild card spot.

That's Boomer and Gio and you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get |
| 0:59.4 | your pods. Today, really over the course of the weekend, I started to lose a little bit of that |
| 1:04.5 | confidence. Today, though, is the first time that in my gut, deep down in my gut, and it's not based off a just last night's result. You're allowed to lose a game here over the final, you know, whatever, the stretch of 12. Now, as we said, it's 10 games remaining. And they play this afternoon with Jonah Tong on them out. More on that in just a second. But it's the first time my gut is telling me, I don't believe that they're going to make the postseason. |
| 1:29.1 | Now, you could say whether they get in or not, how they would do well, whatever, or how |
| 1:33.5 | they're set up to have success. |
| 1:34.9 | I still, part of me believes that. |
| 1:36.4 | But for too long, the feeling around the Mets has been hanging on for dear life for that final wildcard spot, not doing |
| 1:47.4 | anything to pull away, to separate themselves, so much so that they let a more dangerous |
| 1:53.4 | team hang around, which is also part of my feeling, as I'm referring to the Diamondbacks |
| 1:57.2 | here, than the Reds or the Giants. So there are a lot of factors to why after last night's game, |
| 2:04.4 | and even really leading up to it and knowing that the Metro and thin ice to begin with |
| 2:07.7 | and playing with fire here, that my gut feel is telling me they're not, |
