What going on here on this busy NFL season is finally starting Thursday. We'll get to Cowboys Eagles coming up. What giant fans should do, we'll make our NFL predictions later as well. You can rewind on the Odyssey app, went through what was a brutal Yankee loss last night. Tommy and Sean had a wonderful Lugash debate series on Who Sucks More, Ryan Helsley and Devin Williams. And I did mention that the Mets are making a

major rotation change. We don't know yet if Kodi Seng is going to accept his minor league assignment, but we do know he's not going to pitch here. Just call it what it is. It's a demotion. It's a demotion. It's a temp demotion, though. Temporary. If I mean, whatever, the motions usually are in sports. Yeah, well, I give Kodi

advice. You're not starting Sunday, you're not starting

Monday, you're not starting Tuesday with the Mets.

So if you don't If I mean, whatever. The motions usually are in sports. Yeah, well, I give Kodi advice.

You're not starting Sunday.

You're not starting Monday.

You're not starting Tuesday with the Mets. So if you don't accept the demotion, I don't know what you're going to do. You're not going to be pitching. Right. So if you want to pitch again, you should accept that demotion, but maybe he needs the rest. I mean, honest. He missed two months of the season. That's true.

Or a month of the season.

Whatever.

They don't need to rest.

And he rested all year last year. I mean, honest. He missed two months of the season. That's true. Or a month of the season.

Never, it never mind. And he rested all year last year. Right. But I think Sengel will accept that. But what we do know is that Brandon Sproat will complete the trifecta. He will be called up and make his major league debut on Sunday afternoon in Cincinnati. And I'll tell you why I don't like it. I like that Brandon Sprote was called up.

I love that part.

I don't like it. I like that Brandon Sprote was called up. I love that part. I don't like the fact that Nolan McLean is facing the Phillies for a second time. I don't think that's smart strategy because it also possibly lines them up to face the Phillies a third time if the Mets face them in the postseason. And I think there's some mystery to Nolan McLean. And I think if you're the New York match, you should really lean into that as opposed to exposing him. I don't know. Is there a mystery? Yeah, I think there is. I think his stuff is so nasty and spins at such a rate we've never seen before that it will only help batters to see it multiple times. Yeah, I know what you're saying. So there's a mystery to him, yes. But he's also, he feels so confident and he pitches that way that I don't know if it matters. Like sometimes you're just really good, even if they know. Yeah, yeah. Even if they have an idea of what you're trying to do to them. But he's got so much in his arsenal, it's almost like he could flip the script multiple times on almost anybody in that lineup. And so I wouldn't be worried about it until you have to be worried about it. That is just until he gets beat around by the Phillies. You may be right that Sprode is so, I'm sorry, that McLean is so good that it may not matter. I'm merely saying when the Mets were formulating their rotation for the weekend and for the week against the Phillies, I thought it made a lot of sense to have Nolan McLean face Cincinnati on Sunday on what is regular rest and have them not face the Phillies. Now, that's not what the Mets are doing and may not turn out to be a big deal. You're right. They may never face the Phillies a third time, or it may not

negatively affect Nolan McLean. But I am excited about Brandon Sprope because here's the Mets hope. They have an offense that has figured it out. They have a lot of shakiness in their bullpen, but they have youth and unknowns in their rotation. And Brandon Sproote, Jonah Tong, and Nolan McLean are all highly regarded

prospects who have earned their

trips here. McLean is obviously

off to a billion Brandon Sprote, Jonah Tong, and Nolan McLean are all highly regarded prospects who have earned their trips here.

McLean is obviously off to a billion start.

We've only seen one start from Tong.

We'll see about Brandon Sprope.
