The guys welcome the start of baseball with optimism on the field and wariness off of it. After yet another firing and harassment scandal, KFC is skeptical that it will ever end. There's always something new and terrible on the horizon and until the team weeds out all of the old regime's mistakes it seems inevitable that we'll be dealing with this for the foreseeable future!! There is some good news this week though, pitchers and catchers are back! Jacob deGrom is the best pitcher in baseball and his new catcher is a STUD. James McCann has ingratiated himself with the clubhouse like we all knew he would and he's serving as an ambassador to all the new faces. When we signed the new back stop we heard all the stories of his leadership, we just never expected that it would take hold this quickly. He's gonna have this rotation purring like a well oiled machine in no time. We break down Luis Rojas' introductory presser, the potential starters and position combinations and how the lack of DH will play into our headaches all season long. We wrap up the pod with a familiar face, Darren Meenan of The 7 Line, who jumped into the clubhouse to talk about what he's been up to this offseason, the affects of the 2020 season on his business and his expectations for Uncle Stevie and the club heading into 2021. All of the projections place the Mets at the head of the division, but with the Braves, Nats and Phillies all looking strong, we gotta believe that this target on our backs is part of the Cohen effect and that we're in for a dog fight right from the jump.
