  • On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are here for Mets hits, wins, wild cards races, and giving credit to Grimace because, why not? The guys look back at a winning week for the Mets and the reasons behind it including J.D. Martinez, Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, a stabilized catching duo, solid pitching, and maybe some magic from a certain McDonald’s character. Connor and Joe also break down the wild card race in the NL, Lindor haters, progress for Mark Vientos, Jeff McNeil’s playing time, and then go Down of the Farm for a check in on prospect Nick Morabito. Finally, the guys wrap things up with more Scoreboard predictions, and a dive into the Mailbag to answer questions about trades vs qualifying offers for Pete Alonso and Luis Severino, the status of prospects Ryan Clifford and Drew Gilbert, and reasons to really believe in the Mets.

  • On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo welcome Mets two-way prospect Nolan McLean (aka Cowboy Ohtani) to the show to talk about moving towards the majors as both a pitcher and a hitter. Connor and Joe talk to McLean about the nickname they gave him, what is was like being drafted, the challenges of being a two-way player, his development so far at Double-A Binghamton, and a scouting report on his former Oklahoma State teammate Carson Benge, a potential 2024 Mets draft target. Later, the show looks back at London, an overall solid week that was for the Mets, plus the urgency to turn things around before the season becomes a sell-off. Connor and Joe also examine the situation at catcher with Francisco Alvarez coming back, the forthcoming return of Edwin Diaz, and recent moves made by David Stearns and Carlos Mendoza that may be on the margins, but are clearly sending messages for the future of the organization. Finally, the guys wrap things up with more Scoreboard predictions, and a dip into the Mailbag to answer questions about potential Pete Alonso trade returns, the Mets museum at Citi Field, and possible selections for the Mets with the 19th overall pick in the upcoming MLB Draft.

  • On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo take stock of the Mets offense, bullpen, and the fate of the season. The guys recap a week where the offense got better, the bullpen got worse, and the Mets continued to barely tread water. Connor and Joe discuss the underperformance of veterans, how the Mets need a strong June to convince the front office not to sell everything in July, the woes of the bullpen, a huge opportunity for Mark Vientos moving forward, and the hopes tied to the return of Francisco Alvarez. The show then does a Mailbag version of Down on the Farm, with questions answered about Mets minor league affiliates in cold-weather locations, pitching prospects Mike Vasil and Dom Hamel, plus lesser-known names Stanley Consuegra and Jack Wenninger. Later, Connor and Joe do another round of bets on The Scoreboard before opening a regular Mailbag to tackle questions about unlucky hitters and what a post trade deadline Mets lineup could look like.
