Christopher Sanchez is on the brink of making some history—probably just two starts away from it! Tim and Jeff are heading to the ballpark tomorrow to celebrate Lou Gehrig Day. ALS is a cause that has touched the Kurkjian family deeply, following the passing of Uncle Matt (Tim’s brother) from the disease in 2023. If you can, make it out to a ballpark on Tuesday, June 2, and help support a great cause. Shohei Ohtani wants a Cy Young Award. Knowing him, he'll probably find a way to get one. But with pitching dominating in both leagues, it won't come easy. Plus, the Washington Nationals are scoring runs in bunches! We also look back at one of our all-time favorite Bobby Valentine moments. Ronald Acuña Jr. is back and better than ever, and Fernando Tatis Jr. finally does it!

Master of Ceremonies Howie Rose leads the full on field ceremony honoring new Mets Hall of Famers Bobby Valentine and Lee Mazzilli in addition to the Mets Hall of Fame Achievement Award being given posthumously to team photographer Marc Levine.
It's Hall of Fame induction day for the Mets and one man who has the honor that both Bobby Valentine and Lee Mazzilli are about to receive is Hall of Famer Howard Johnson who met with Pat McCarthy ahead of the ceremony to talk the rich history of the team.
Evan and Tiki shift from Knicks fever to Mets frustration as a new parody song takes aim at David Stearns and the struggling offense. The crew debates whether Stearns actually hears the criticism, why athletes and executives should avoid the noise, and how Mets fans are trying to find fun in another rough stretch. The hour closes with a mix of Citi Field chaos and Knicks Finals excitement, from Bobby Valentine disguise night to a wild caller idea for Steve Cohen to raffle off his Knicks tickets to Mets fans. Evan runs with the concept, imagining a way to pack the ballpark by turning every scanned ticket into a chance at the hottest seats in New York.
The Mets are officially back to being consistent again… unfortunately it's the bad kind of consistency.After winning 5 of 6 and giving fans a tiny little taste of hope, the Mets responded by immediately losing 5 of 6, including getting swept in Miami by the Marlins — which should honestly qualify as emotional terrorism at this point — and then dropping 2 of 3 at HOME to the Reds because apparently Citi Field is now a charity organization for mediocre baseball teams.So this week, Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe try to figure out whether this team actually has another turnaround in them… or if Mets fans are just being dragged through another 162-game trust exercise.This weekend also brings one of the weirdest and most Mets celebrations imaginable: Bobby Valentine Day. Yes, fans will receive disguises in honor of Bobby V's legendary fake mustache dugout return, proving once again that no franchise in sports celebrates chaos quite like the Mets. On top of that, the Mets Hall of Fame ceremony honors Carlos Beltran, Lee Mazzilli, and Bobby Valentine himself on Saturday at Citi Field.We'll also dive into Jose Reyes naming his Top 5 Mets nemesis list and give our own. Braves? Phillies? Chipper Jones? The entire state of Florida? We're opening old wounds tonight.Meanwhile, Juan Soto has basically become the entire offense by himself, smashing 8 home runs over his last 12 games while the rest of the lineup occasionally shows up like substitute teachers. If Soto cools off for even 48 hours, somebody may need to legally classify this offense as missing persons.On the pitching side, McLean has hit a rough patch, and the Mets continue struggling with consistency from both the rotation and bullpen. Yet somehow… despite all the frustration, this team currently has the SAME record as the 2024 Mets team that finished with 89 wins. So now the question becomes: does this roster actually have another run in them or are we all just coping?We'll also get into early trade deadline chatter after Jon Heyman said he wouldn't be shocked if the Mets eventually consider moving Francisco Lindor. Mets Twitter handled that news very calmly and rationally of course. Definitely no overreactions there.Plus:* Opening Day Mets baseball card set opening* Grading the Opening Day roster* Producer Joe preparing emotionally for ANOTHER west coast trip because apparently MLB thinks the Mets live in California now* And the show's long-standing goal remains the same: get this team back to .500 by the All-Star break… even if fans have every right to still be furious watching this team lose to bad baseball clubs.Next up: 3 against the Marlins at Citi Field before heading to Seattle and San Diego for what feels like the 800th west coast trip of the season.Baseball. Chaos. Sarcasm. Soundboard abuse. Mets pain.Just another episode of The Put it in the Books Show.LGM.#PiitB #Mets

Joe also reflects on unforgettable postseason moments, the personalities that made the '86 Mets iconic, and why that era remains one of the greatest stretches in franchise history.

The Put it in the Books Show – Season 8 Episode 20: Angry Early, Confused OftenSeason 8, Episode 20 finds Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe behind the wall staring down a Mets offseason that somehow managed to lose core players, lose patience, and lose the benefit of the doubt — all before spring training. Pete Alonso is gone. Jeff McNeil is gone. Edwin Díaz is gone. Brandon Nimmo is gone. And somehow the messaging is still “relax.”This episode is about the anger — and why it's justified. The Mets didn't just lose production, they lost identity. A homegrown slugger. A leadoff tone-setter. A closer who defined late innings. A utility glue guy. Meanwhile, David Stearns' old team in Milwaukee just keeps punching playoff tickets like it's routine, while Mets fans are being asked to squint and trust something that doesn't fully exist yet.We'll dig into the bullpen-heavy pivot with Devin Williams and Luke Weaver, the post-Alonso first base problem, the reality of losing Nimmo's on-base presence, and what it actually means to build a bullpen without Díaz. We'll also hit the uncomfortable middle ground the Mets are stuck in — not rebuilding, not all-in — and why “depth” keeps getting confused with dominance, especially when this team still doesn't have enough aces.Add in a furious fan base already checking out, Kyle Tucker rumors that may or may not mean anything, and the eternal Lindor-backup problem that somehow never gets fixed, and you've got a full-blown identity crisis. We'll also take a quick victory lap for the Mets Hall of Fame Class of 2026 — Lee Mazzilli, Bobby Valentine, and Carlos Beltrán — and ask the big question: is Cooperstown eventually next for Beltrán?It's not therapy. It's not optimism. It's Mets reality — and we're putting all of it in the books.
We're hitting everything from roster upheaval to coaching changes. The McNeil trade chatter is heating up, Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz are back on the market after opting out, and both Jeremy Hefner and Antoan Richardson are gone as the Mets overhaul the entire coaching infrastructure. We'll break down Carson Benge's legit shot at becoming the centerfielder of the future, why Lindor needs a real backup shortstop, which minor leaguers enter true put-up-or-shut-up mode, and what the pitching staff has to look like if 2026 isn't going to be another September disaster.We'll also celebrate the newly announced Mets Hall of Fame Class of 2026: Lee Mazzilli, Bobby Valentine, and Carlos Beltrán. And yes — we'll dig into the big question: is Cooperstown next for Beltrán, and how soon? Some of us think he's in. Some of us (cough Farace) think the voters love to make people wait just to feel important.From free-agent fits to bullpen reconstruction to trying to understand why this team collapses every September, we're laying out the whole roadmap. Expect Farace's rants, Rodriguez's spin, and Joe chiming in from the wall every time someone mentions “this should be easy” — because nothing with this franchise is ever easy.It's the season wrap-up, the therapy session, and the first steps toward 2026. Buckle up. #Mets #PiitB# PutItInTheBooks #ThePutItInTheBooksShow

Ben and Brent kick off the final hour of the morning joined by Jim Callis, senior writer for MLB Pipeline! Jim and the guys dive right into the upcoming trade deadline, discussing if we could see the Jays move any of their top prospects and which player would be worth emptying the farm system for. They then take a look at Orelvis Martínez's down season thus far in Triple-A and if he holds any value, as well as when we could see Trey Yesavage get called up. After the break, former MLB player and manager, Bobby Valentine (25:17), joins the conversation.

In this emotional and wide-ranging conversation, Mets legend and Hall of Fame manager Joe Torre sits down with Jay Horwitz to reflect on his decades in baseball—and the people who shaped it.

He also shares deeply personal stories about his childhood, revealing how his father's abuse inspired the founding of his Safe At Home Foundation, which has helped thousands of children break the cycle of domestic violence. From managing the Mets to building a dynasty with the Yankees, to humorous tales with Arthur Richmond and commercials with Willie Randolph and Bobby Valentine, this is Joe Torre like you've never heard him.

Is Mayo the Patriots version of Bobby Valentine? Why would Mayo get fired? The weirdness between games will be the reason why. He keeps stepping in it every time he gets on the podium. Now he is up there blaming the players. He even said that a winning culture was never going to happen in year one. When is the culture going to change? McDaniel coached circles around Jerod Mayo. It is the attitude of the players as well that will give reason for Mayo to get fired.

Can't ask for a better guest other than Bobby Valentine. He was drafted by the Dodgers as a player, played and managed the New York Mets and also managed in Japan. We talk Shohei, we talk potential Subway Series (the last of which he managed) and share laughs over both Tim and Bobby's early years in baseball. The four remaining teams have got us all excited for a potential World Series matchup. We hear about the Best of All Tim team that involves only guests of our show (and boy is it a great list). We get the help of our friends at Strat-O-Matic to simulate just how good Japanese players are. Finally, we hear about what Eddy Perez and Tim will be doing in New York!

Hour 1 Last night was the Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. It was an absolute disaster for the democrats and Biden. There is no way he is actually running the country. They also argued about their golf handicaps at some point during the debate. There is no way Biden is going to be on the ticket in November. C-Lo is in for Jerry and in for his first update of the day and starts with the Yankees having another terrible game last night, this time in Toronto. George Springer hit a 3-run HR in each of the first two innings. The Mets will play the Astros in the Queens starting tonight. Bronny James was selected by the Lakers with the 55th pick in the draft. Aaron Rodgers has returned to the U.S. after a trip to Egypt. In the final segment of the hour, the Mets are bonding over the song ‘OMG' by their teammate Jose Iglesias. Gio said teams sometimes bond over a song like this. The Yankees have been getting their face kicked in a few nights in a row now. A caller from Pennsylvania thinks he knows where Eddie Scozzare went in Pennsylvania. Hour 2 Gio thinks he knows where Eddie is vacationing in Northern Central Pennsylvania. He calls the lodge where he suspects Eddie is but nobody picks up. A jury ordered the NFL to pay damages in regards to Sunday Ticket and antitrust law. We also talked about traffic to the Jersey shore and to the beaches on Long Island. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the Yankees getting trounced again, this time by the Blue Jays. Bronny James was drafted by the Lakers with pick 55. A caller wonders if Gio could beat Joe Biden in golf. Biden claimed he's a 6 handicap. In the final segment of the hour, Eddie texted us to tell us where he's actually vacationing. Hour 3 Aaron Rodgers has been found, as he's returned from Egypt. Gio wonders if Boomer wants to go to Egypt. He does not. Does Boomer have a place that he wants to visit? Boomer said maybe New Zealand or Australia. We talked about ‘raw dogging' on a flight. That's no phone, no screen, no headsets and you just stare at the back of the seat in front of you. Boomer said we have a ‘mindfulness' spot on the roof of the building. We talked about people in fender benders waiting in the middle of the road for the cops to come. A caller said, ‘hawk tuah' is being yelled at golf events in place of ‘baba booey'. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the Yankees getting smashed by the Blue Jays in Toronto. Adam Schein said, ‘my Knicks are back baby!' Bronny James was drafted by the Lakers. In the final segment of the hour, a woman was attending the college world series and was shown on ESPN eating an ice cream cone. People found her on social media and men were sending her ‘sexualized messages', so she's not happy with ESPN. Hour 4 The Mets are rallying around the song, ‘OMG', by their teammate, Jose Iglesias. He goes by Candelita for his music career. Gio told a story about Tony Tarasco that involved weed and Bobby Valentine's bar and a Mets reliever having a seizure in the Shea parking lot. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day and starts with the Blue Jays beating the Yankees 9-2 as George Springer hit a pair of 3-run homers in the first two innings. BT and Sal had David Wright on and talked about Sal being upset with him back in 2006. The girl caught eating ice cream by ESPN at the college world series responded to all the creeps on TikTok. Chris Russo read his golf scores on his radio show. Sauce Gardner seems to have the itch to get into golf. The Moment of The Day involves Gio doing an impression of Adam Schein being confused by the NBA draft. In the final segment of the show, we talked about the future contract of Jalen Brunson and the Knicks.
