Summary

The Mets are spiraling, and a late-night tweet from owner Steve Cohen only poured gasoline on the fire. Evan and Tiki react to the now-infamous “green shoots” message and why it completely missed the moment for a frustrated fanbase watching a team that looks lifeless early in the season. When expectations are high, messaging matters, and this one struck a nerve. The guys break it down from both sides, with Tiki offering a player’s perspective on why public excuses can backfire, while Evan lays out what fans actually want to hear during a losing streak. They also touch on accountability inside the clubhouse, leadership questions, and how quickly optimism has turned into real concern about what this Mets team actually is.

I want to say this in the most respectful way possible, because I think you can talk to family in a rough way and a direct way, but in a rough way.

0:11.1

Steve Cohen needs to shut up.

0:13.9

He just does.

0:15.1

He needs to shut up because a few days ago, we talked about his usage of Twitter and I said look if he wants to be

George Steinbrenner and call his guys out I'm good I think it'll go a long way with the fans

0:27.6

and I don't think there's anything wrong with that but last night after the New York Mets lost yet

again what are we at seven in a row now seven in a row losing track veryimp. You know what I mean? Listen to what this owner tweets late last night and maybe you were greeted with it this morning from your friends or in a text chat or listening to Boomer and Gio. This is an infuriating tweet from the owner of this team. So last week, it was funny, Tiki said, Evan, you're a Steve Cohen's shill because I defended him on the ticket stuff. Now I'm his worst nightmare. Because I'm not defending this crap. And again, I love you. You're the owner. Blah, blah, blah, blah, lots of money. Right. Supporting you, everything else. Believe in the, I guess maybe the long-term plan, whatever you want to call it. But, but shut up. Like, sometimes you have to say that to the people you love. You got to shut up. Listen to this tweet. Nobody likes to lose, but I saw some green shoots tonight. Time out. What the hell does that mean? I saw some green shoots. You know, so you have a house.

You have a lawn.

1:29.2

Yeah.

It's been dormant all winter because it's been a freaking long-ass winter.

You get like a downpour of rain like we had last night.

1:43.6

And you wake up this morning and there's like green stuff like starting to pop up. That's what he meant. That's what he meant. I thought it was a golf reference. Like they're not getting in the hole, but they've shot it onto the green. No. Wow. Okay. I have no idea. Maybe Tiki's right. Maybe Sean's right. Anyhow, he goes on. On offense, Lindor had two hits, including a home run.

2:05.3

Bichette got a double hitting it to left field as opposed to recently being right field prone.

2:11.9

Ben's got a solid hit. Soto started his running progression today.

2:16.8

This is my favorite part.

2:18.0

This is where I wanted to smash my phone across my face.

2:21.9
