Summary

Deep into their 20-game stretch, the Mets are still hovering around .500 and with the product on the field, that's all we can hope for. Tomas "The Answer" Nido, Hech and a bunch of random 3-run HRs are getting us through, but without some help from Brodie that's where we'll stay. This is the life of a Mets fan and we can thank our fathers for their sins!!

0:11.5	We are at the point in the season where I think you can determine exactly what type of team,
0:17.3	not exactly, but generally what type of team we are.
0:20.6	And I think we know what type of team we are. And I think we know what type of team
0:22.2	we are at the moment as currently constructed. I believe we are a 500 team, Clem. Perfectly balanced
0:28.8	as all things should be, Kevin. That's the theme of the season. Thanos style. It's perfect that
0:34.2	this team has that that storyline going but i i said over and over again
0:40.8	that the 20 games and 20 days will will be you know what decides the fate of this team's future
0:46.9	and here we are seven and seven so uh some ups some downs and i think that's exactly what this team is, which given some injuries and given a little bit underperformance and given where we were last year, I think that's kind of to be expected and also not that bad.
1:06.0	And I think that if Brody Van Wagon is the, you know, the new era of Mets baseball as guys like

1:33.1	stretch has been a complete fucking roller coaster like everything else. It's sick.
1:38.2	It's sick. Like just give me like two out of three, one out of three. But it's been, it's been
1:42.4	the Marlin sweep. It's been extra innings. It's been ninth inning fucking, you know, chaos going on. We have the, you know,
