It was the Mets missing the playoffs.

I just wanted to get that off my chest.

No, you're right about that.

The Mets had every opportunity, and they were given to it by the Reds. I mean, everybody was playing at the same time, so it was hard to see a causation there. But in real time, as you watched it, and the Reds ran out to a lead, and the Brewers had zero to play for. They were already locked in with the best record.

Even if they end up tied with the Phillies, they have the tiebreaker.

They had nothing to play for. The Cincinnati Reds had three games against the pirates at home, and they lost two out of three. They had three games against the brewers who had nothing to play for, especially by the end, and they only won two out of three. So quite frankly, we blew it, you didn't earn it. Now, with all that said, go Reds. I'd love

to see you beat the Dodgers. I'd have no bitterness towards you. Now, David Stearns is meeting his

makers right now. He is meeting the media. Let us go very much live to the man from Milwaukee desk that we've created here in the Evident Tuki Studios to kind of find out what David Stearns has had to say so far. Sean, where should we start? I think we should start on the future of the manager of the New York, Matt. Let's hear it. Are you prepared to say that Carlos will definitely be the manager next year? Yeah, Carlos is coming back next year.

So that has been put to rest.

Quick and easy.

Well, there's a follow-up to that now.

As we speculated.

Why is Carlos Mendoza the right person going forward?

I believe Carlos has all the same traits and assets that I believed in when we hired him two years ago.

And I think over the course of his tenure here, he has demonstrated that.

We had a tough year this year.

There's no question.

We are all disappointed.

We are all frustrated.

Mendi as much or more than anyone else.

But I still believe he's a very good manager. I think he's going to demonstrate that.

I know there are a lot of Mudd fans that don't want to hear that, especially hours after the season ended,
