Sal and BT dissected the agony of the 2025 Mets season, contrasting their failure to make the playoffs with the Detroit Tigers, who suffered a historic division collapse yet still snuck into October baseball. Sal emphasized that the Mets' high payroll and talent made their absence unacceptable, showing they couldn't even "fold the right way." The discussion segued into how the new regime, led by David Stearns, must drastically change the team's defensive philosophy, even if it means moving on from fan-favorites like Pete Alonso or Brandon Nimmo to prioritize sound, well-rounded baseball.
Sal and BT furiously dissected the New York Mets' most embarrassing season ever, a historic collapse that saw the $400 million team miss the expanded postseason. The discussion was fueled by owner Steve Cohen's immediate public apology to fans and star Pete Alonso's post-game announcement that he will opt out, signaling a potential tear-down of the core, including possible trades for Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo. This baseball disaster overshadowed the Giants' massive win over the Chargers and the exciting debut of rookie QB Jaxson Dart, with the celebratory mood immediately soured by the devastating news of Malik Nabers' season-ending ACL tear.
Sal and BT, frustrated by the Mets' underperformance, declare that the team's core simply "didn't work" and needs a dramatic shakeup. While both agree Pete Alonso must be re-signed as a potent DH/First Baseman, they argue that Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo should be put on the trade block. Sal specifically targets trading Lindor, despite his star power, to ditch the hefty contract and change the team's "entire dynamics," while BT agrees the core players don't complement each other and the whole nucleus needs to be blown up.
Sal and BT furiously dissected the Mets' season-ending collapse, calling it one of the most embarrassing in franchise history after the team missed the playoffs despite a massive payroll. They hammered the team's core, with Sal arguing that the Mets should trade Francisco Lindor or Brandon Nimmo to reset the team dynamic since the current nucleus "did not work." BT agreed that the core needed to be "blown up," even if it means moving a star player like Lindor. The discussion culminated in the hilarious payoff of Sal's bet with Phillies fan Clem from Surfside, forcing Sal to don a Chase Utley Phillies uniform and BT to wear a Surfside can costume in a moment of ultimate Mets-Yankees-Phillies indignity.
It was a bitter end to the Mets season and after the game Brandon Nimmo met with the media to discuss where his mind is after the loss.

Hour 1 We started with a great night of baseball for the locals, with the Yankees clinching a playoff spot and the Mets coming back to beat the Cubs. It felt like a special night for the Mets. And where is Keith Hernandez? Is he sick? Jaxson Dart is starting for the Giants this weekend at home against the Chargers. Even though Russell Wilson had a great game against Dallas, he threw terrible interceptions last week. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating the White Sox and clinching a playoff spot. We heard the sounds of Howie Rose as the Mets came back to beat the Cubs as Brandon Nimmo had a 3-run game tying HR. Francisco Alvarez homered in the eighth which ended up being the game winner. Al actually had a new song about Jaxson Dart. Mike ‘I'm a man, I'm 40' Gundy was fired by Oklahoma State. In the final segment of the hour, WFAN producer Brian Rascona told Gio that Ken Griffey Jr was walking around the Ryder Cup and nobody seemed to notice him. Hour 2 Jaxson Dart is getting the start for the Giants this week. Nobody really talks about the pressure a quarterback faces in their first real NFL game. Boomer brings it up, but you don't hear many other people talk about it. It's different from the pre-season. Boomer likes Dart's attitude compared to some of the other rookie QBs that came to the Jets and Giants. Jerry returns for an update, but first Gio wonders if the teams being bused back and forth for the Ryder Cup are listening to the show. Jerry starts with Ian Poulter criticizing American golf fans. Brandon Nimmo hit a game tying 3-run homer as the Mets beat the Cubs. Francisco Alvarez ended up hitting what ended up being the game winning HR. The Yankees beat the White Sox and clinched a playoff spot. The Guardians have overtaken the Tigers and former WFAN Adam ‘The Bull' was so excited he made a weird noise. In the final segment of the hour, a caller wonders if Daniel Jones will get a big contract in Indianapolis (he will hang up and listen). Hour 3 We started the hour with the Jets as they play in Miami on Monday night. One of these teams is going to be 0-4. There is pressure on Mike McDaniel and Tua. In 2 of the 3 games, the Jets were very competitive. A caller wonders why the Giants even brought Russell Wilson in if they had already signed Jameis Winston. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Howie Rose and the sounds of the Mets beating the Cubs to get back in charge of their own destiny. Brandon Nimmo hit a game tying HR and Francisco Alvarez hit the eventual game winning HR. Jerry compares ‘douche bag says what' from the 1990s to ‘Boomer will cream pie me' from this morning. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about Gary Cohen's comments last night about a Cubs player missing a game to attend Charlie Kirk's memorial service. We continued arguing about the phrase, ‘control your own destiny'. Hour 4 Nicole Rae from Skratch Golf is in the studio to talk about the Ryder Cup. They hosted us for our trip to Pebble Beach as well. Jerry returns for his final update of the day, but first Gio gives us alcohol prices for drinks at the Ryder Cup. Jerry starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating the White Sox as Caballero had a walk off single. We heard Howie Rose on the call as Francisco Alvarez homered making it 9-7 Mets. Micah Parsons was asked how it will feel when he sacks Dak this weekend. The Moment of The Day: Al has a new song, reminding Gio of marriage. In the final segment of the show, WFAN producer Brian Rascona checks in from the Ryder Cup.

The Mets handled business on a Thursday afternoon at Citi Field, beating the Padres 6–1 behind a sharp rebound from rookie Jonah Tong and home runs from Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo. Tong struck out eight over five innings and allowed just one run as New York clinched the series and widened its cushion for the NL's final Wild Card spot. Alonso homered in the first (his fourth straight game with a HR) and later added a sac fly, while Nimmo broke it open with a three-run shot in the third. With the win, the Mets are 79–74—two games up in the Wild Card race—with nine games remaining. #Mets #LGM #MetsWin #MetsNation #NYM #MetsBaseball #PeteAlonso #BrandonNimmo #JonahTong #CitiField #MetsVsPadres #MetsHighlights #MLB #MLBPlayoffs #MLBWildcard #Baseball #MLB2025 #LetsGoMets #QueensBaseball #NewYorkSports #LockedUpSports
Sal and BT's "Call of the Day" centered on a quote from Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo, where he claimed other teams were "hoping we don't make the playoffs" because they don't want to see the Mets in October. The hosts took Nimmo to task for what they saw as a delusional and dangerous mindset, arguing that it shows the team is not taking their current struggles seriously. Sal and BT said the quote revealed a "fatalistic" attitude where the team believes they can just "turn it on" when the playoffs arrive, a belief that is not supported by their recent poor play. They argued that this lack of urgency is the very reason the Mets are in danger of missing the playoffs in the first place.
Brandon Nimmo chats with Pat McCarthy ahead of the Mets-Phillies game on Wednesday night. Nimmo talks about the race for the playoffs and the recent cold stretch for the Mets offense.

C-Lo, who also lacks a prenup, provides an update. Jerry and Willie note that cheating isn't exclusive to men. In sports, the Mets beat the Phillies, Giancarlo Stanton led another Yankee win, and Shedeur Sanders made the Browns' initial 53-man roster. The hour concludes with Jerry telling Willie about Shaun Morash's bet that Travis Kelce will incorporate Taylor Swift's last name into his. If so, Evan will take his wife's name as payment. Jerry and Willie agree with Evan's stance but wouldn't have risked the same wager. Willie emphasizes athletes' need to protect earnings, especially in the NFL. Hour 3 The hour began with a discussion on Micah Parsons' hold-in and alleged back injury, with Willie and Jerry expecting a deal, though Willie notes the difficulty of returning to play immediately.

Tonight's hero spoke with the media about his walk-off single, the performances of the hitters ahead of him to put him in that spot, and the recent offensive explosion for the club.
Ahead of the series opener in Atlanta, Carlos Mendoza spoke with Keith Raad and addressed the importance of the upcoming games, what Nolan McLean needs to do tonight in his second career start, McLean's impressive curveball, and he provided injury updates on Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil.
Boomer and Gio are concerned about Kodai Senga's performance and suggest David Peterson as the Mets' potential playoff ace. Jerry's update includes Yankees' victory over Rays, Mets' loss to Nationals (Senga gave up 4 earned runs), and Brandon Nimmo's neck injury. Also, a bizarre story about a bullet in Andy Reid's office and a tennis player on OnlyFans requiring a $1,000 pre-date deposit.
It's Season 8, Episode 16 of The Put it in the Books Show—Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe (holding it down behind the wall) are on deck, while Keith is out under the weather (or maybe just sparing himself from watching more blown leads).The Mets managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again, coughing up a 3-run lead and losing to the lowly Nationals. This isn't just a bad loss, it's the kind of game that makes you wonder if the stretch run is going to be a stretch too far. Five games back of the Phillies and clinging to wild card position, every one of these collapses feels like a gut punch.Injury news doesn't help either: Alvarez remains out, joined by Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimmo, and Luis Torrens on the sidelines. On the flip side, Francisco Lindor just won NL Player of the Week, proving he can carry the lineup when he's locked in. Baty has been on fire, Vientos is showing signs, and the offense overall has looked better… except when they're blowing games against the Nationals.The bullpen additions are still a mixed bag, but somehow, when the hitting coach stopped coaching hitting, the bats got going. Go figure. Now it's time to see if the Mets can pick themselves up—three in Atlanta followed by a massive four-game clash with the Phillies at Citi Field.So pour a stiff drink and join Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe as they try to sort through the standings, the injuries, the blown leads, and maybe even corner Joe into apologizing to Brett Baty.
Brandon Nimmo was forced to exit Wednesday's game against the Nationals early with a stiff neck and after the game the Mets Outfielder met with the media to give an update on the pain along with what his recovery expectations for it are.
The Mets comeback bid came up short to snap their 3 game losing streak and following the game Carlos Mendoza met with the media to give an update on Brandon Nimmo who exited the game early before breaking down the team's 5-4 loss to the Nationals.
Today marks the second consecutive joint practice for the Jets and Giants, following an uneventful session yesterday. Keith expresses optimism for both local teams, highlighting the real hype for Abdul Carter and anticipating improved QB play for the Giants. He also views Aaron Glenn as a significant upgrade at HC for the Jets, expecting surprises this season. C-Mac believes the Giants' pass rush could be dominant. Keith favors Justin Fields more than most. C-Lo's update covers Brandon Nimmo saving the Mets after Clay Holmes' near-spoil of Pete Alonso's big night, and Aaron Judge's quick response to an early Yankees deficit, complemented by Giancarlo Stanton's four-hit, monstrous home run. The hour concludes with C-Mac reciting Jack Nicholson's "A Few Good Men" monologue before he and Keith discuss the Yankees, with Keith doubting a run but C-Mac asserting its possibility.

They also address Clay Holmes' struggles and the Mets' starting pitching concerns. C-Lo's update focuses on Alonso's historic homer and the Mets' six-homer game. C-Mac and Keith debate Gary Cohen's call of the home run and C-Mac highlights Francisco Lindor's key bunt. C-Mac believes Alonso loves being a Met more than any current New York athlete loves being on their team. Hour 2 The Yankees secured two consecutive wins against the Twins. Carlos Rodon overcame a shaky start to pitch seven strong innings. Anthony Volpe's home run signals a turn in his season. While seeing encouraging signs, the guys still have concerns about the Yankees. A caller comparing the current Yankees to the 90s dynasty irked C-Mac.

Jermaine Johnson is back from his achilles injury. The hour ended with a caller praising Brian Cashman, delighting C-Mac and Keith. Hour 3 The Jets and Giants held their second joint practice. Keith is optimistic about both teams, highlighting Abdul Carter's hype, improved Giants QB play, and Aaron Glenn's impact as Jets HC. C-Mac believes the Giants' pass rush can be dominant and prefers Justin Fields. C-Lo reported on Brandon Nimmo saving the Mets and the Yankees' comeback led by Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. In the final segment, C-Mac recited a monologue, and he and Keith debated the Yankees' playoff chances. Hour 4 C-Mac worries about Abdul Carter's hype, but Keith assures him the Giants made the right pick. Keith, a free agent fan, explains why he's done with the Cowboys and Jerry Jones, despite C-Mac's loyalty. C-Lo's update includes his favorite song, "Hook" by Blues Traveler, and discussion of the upcoming Taylor Swift "New Heights" podcast. Pete Alonso broke the Mets' all-time home run record, sending a message to Steve Cohen and David Stearns about his future goals, while Keith finds the Mets' scoreboard jokes "little brother energy." Giancarlo Stanton led the Yankees to a win. C-Mac is concerned about Malik Nabers' continued absence from practice, which Keith attributes to avoiding Sauce Gardner. The segment concludes with Keith's bobblehead collecting and C-Mac's lack of interest.
The New York Mets delivered a statement win, crushing the Atlanta Braves 13-5 at Citi Field in a home run frenzy. Pete Alonso blasted two homers, passing Darryl Strawberry to become the Mets' all-time home run leader. Francisco Álvarez added two bombs of his own, Brett Baty and Brandon Nimmo each went deep, and the Mets finished with six home runs total. Despite the offensive fireworks, starting pitcher Clay Holmes continued the Mets' rotation struggles, allowing five runs in just 3.2 innings. But the bullpen locked it down, and the Mets gained a game on the Phillies in the NL East standings. We break down Alonso's historic milestone, the Mets' power surge, what this means for the NL East race, and why the starting rotation is still a big concern moving forward. #LGM #Mets #PeteAlonso #MetsVsBraves #FranciscoAlvarez #BrettBaty #BrandonNimmo #MetsBaseball #MLB #LetsGoMets #MetsPodcast #LockedUpSports #MetsNation

Hour 4 The hour began with a discussion of Shedeur Sanders' strong preseason debut, noting that Giants and Jets fans would be concerned if he became a good NFL QB, as both teams passed on him. Neither local team's most important player is their QB, and the Giants, though not necessarily good, can't be awful. C-Lo provided an update after C-Mac shared stories about his wife's job, their dating history, and a failed gift. Roger Clemens informed Dave Sims and Suzyn Waldman of Mariano Rivera's Achilles injury at Old Timers' Day, leading to a segment on the Yankees needing an attitude adjustment.

JP, a loyal but livid listener, rips into the Mets' "piss poor performance" in a fiery email, unleashing a torrent of frustrations that includes an "anti-clutch gene," overpaid players like Brandon Nimmo, and an offense that's just "mid at best." Evan and Rico dissect the fan's points, challenging some of his claims while agreeing with others, as they try to make sense of a team that's lost six one-run games during a single stretch and seems more interested in playing golf in October than competing.
