Summary

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo dive into the deep end on the latest episode of The Mets Pod. The guys get into all of it - the losing streak, the offensive struggles, the underperforming stars, the mental mistakes, and look for slim slivers of hope for a turnaround. Connor and Joe open the Mailbag wide to let the listeners vent as well, as they play the blame game for David Stearns and Carlos Mendoza, try to figure out what's going on with Francisco Lindor, and attempt to find solutions for the team's problems. Be sure to subscribe to The Mets Pod at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Mets Pod on today's show. Do we really have to say it? It's time to vent.
0:04.1	We're going to read a ton of your questions. Let's get it all out on where the Mets stand.
0:09.2	And as always, subscribe to the Mets Pod on Apple, Spotify. You can watch every episode on
0:13.5	S&Y's YouTube channel wherever you get your shows.
0:55.4	What's up, everybody? Welcome to the MetsPod. I'm your host, Connor Rogers, joined as always by my co-host, Joe DeMayo. And Joe, a hello to you. But before we get there, I have to start with some good news. Man, we can't, we can't just go right into it. Believe it or not, believe it or not, we at the Metspod have found some good news. There is one lever we can pull to salvage things just a smidge. Next week, we're going to be giving away some Metspod hats. We'll drop the details for the sweepstakes, but as if you haven't seen them, because we've had them before, they are a good looking hat. And there they are. If you're watching on YouTube
0:59.5	right now, we're going to do literally all we can't, Joe, to cheer up the listeners of the Mets
1:05.3	pod. But we're not going to dodge away from it. I mean, what the absolute hell, Joe, as I say hello,
1:13.3	and I'm not even going to ask, how are you? Just feel free to run with whatever the heck you
1:17.5	want. Connor, this is the best we could do. We could give you hats. We can't change. We can't change
1:25.5	lineups. We can't change theups. We can't change the staff.

1:32.0	That's what we could do.
1:32.8	So try to enter to win it.
1:34.6	I wish mine was within reach because I would show you that in person it is a very nice hat.
1:39.4	But as far as how I'm doing, I'm generally okay, but the Mets aren't making that any better.
1:47.0	When you tell me, Connor, when we did the show last week, I was like, eh, it's the week
1:53.3	where you're not supposed to win many games, but they'll pull out a few.
1:57.5	I think I pushed on the scoreboard that we'll get to later.
2:05.5	You couldn't have told me there was a sliver of a chance they would win. Nothing.
2:12.3	Not a thing. The whole week. It's, it's very difficult to watch. And that's the thing.
2:20.1	Losing obviously stinks. Losing, losing streaks are tough to go through. I hate to say it. These are just very, very unenjoyable baseball games to watch. And there's no like good losing games to watch,
