With just 22 games remaining in the regular season, the Mets continue to fight for the NL East while holding a firm lead in the NL Wild Card race. The offense has been electric across the board led by Juan Soto with the rotation rounding into form thanks to the emergence of Nolan McLean. We discuss what's next in store for not just the club in their quest for the playoffs but for Kodai Senga & Sean Manaea in the rotation who continue to disappoint.

Recorded moments after the final out was recorded to this wild win out west in the Desert.

I'd also like to apologize in advance for the audio difficulties we experienced throughout this episode.

Things aren't going swimmingly in Mets land - now eight games under .500% and 8.5 games back of the final wild card spot. Fans are calling for both Showalter & Epplers jobs as Steve Cohen announces he'll be speaking with the media pregame tomorrow.

Never a dull moment as a Mets fan.

Episode Recorded: May 6th (Pre-Game)

The odd 2023 New York Mets season continued this past week as the boys returned home from their poor road trip and excited us all by sweeping the Phillies then drained us all by getting swept by the Blue Jays. The offense has gone MIA unless your name is Starling Marte and Mark Canha...weird times. We can only hope they can get more consistent and right the ship - the Braves, Pirates and Yankees are looming...#LGM.
