A lot has been made of Brandon Nimmo's drop off at centerfield. Do Nimmo's numbers fit that of a corner outfielder?

Pat McCarthy spoke to Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo before the final game of the 2023 season.
Ahead of their Saturday doubleheader Keith Raad sat down with Buck Showalter to discuss what has been a weird week of baseball for the team along with how he feels about players such as Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil not being available for the team as their season comes to a close.
Some fun baseball this week down in Miami. José Butto got it started with another GEM and we got huge contributions on offense from Mark Vientos, Jeff McNeil, and Brandon Nimmo to take two for three from the Marlins in the midst of their playoff push. The boys are also headed to Somerset Thursday night to catch our Rumble Ponies take on the Patriots in the Eastern League playoffs. Then we close out with Esti-Met and a preview of this weekend's Phillies series.

The Mets supremacy over the Arizona Diamondbacks continued this week with a commanding series victory at Citi. The offense came out hot with Ronny Mauricio hitting his first career home run and Brandon Nimmo continuing his hot second half. The pitching delivered too with Joey Lucchesi hurling a gem and Kodai Senga genuinely looking like a Cy Young Candidate.

The Mets center fielder talks with our own Pat McCarthy after the Mets 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks where Nimmo went 3 for 4 while scoring twice in tonight's win.
Pat McCarthy recaps a game where Brandon Nimmo opened the game with a solo home run as the Mets lead after one inning of play. However, the power bats of the Twins retook the lead as David Peterson turned the ball over to Drew Smith as the game gout of reach quickly for the Mets as they lost 8-4.
Hour 2- Sal asks BT if Jasson Dominguez turns out to be Brandon Nimmo will he be happy?
Quick two-game set for the Mets in DC. Tuesday night was one of their best offensive outputs of the season with Francisco Álvarez, Bretty Baty, Ronny Mauricio, and Mark Vientos together for the first time in a major league lineup. Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Brandon Nimmo (two times) each hit homers too while José Quintana delivered another great start. José Butto looked very good as well on Wednesday in his return to the rotation. Then, we close the episode with Esti-Met and a preview on this weekend's Twins series.

Pat McCarthy recaps a series opening win where the Mets offence was firing on all cylinders as Francisco Alvarez, Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo all went deep with Nimmo tallying two homers as with the help of another strong outing from Jose Quintana the Mets cruised to a lopsided 11-5 victory over the Nationals.
Brandon Nimmo's bat has been on fire all season and he catches up with Pat McCarthy after a game where he ripped 2 home runs to push his career high and season total to 22.
Brandon Nimmo mashed 2 home-runs in the ballgame to push his career high to 22 this season and he met with the media following the game to discuss what he did during the offseason to unlock his power swing and the risks that he knew were associated with making that change.
The fundamentals this year for the Mets have been terrible. The biggest drop off though has come in centerfield as Brandon Nimmo continues to play poorly defensively.

Pat McCarthy recaps an outing where Kodai Senga did not disappoint as he pitched 7 strong innings, notching 12 strikeouts while on the other side Brandon Nimmo's power surge continued with him smacking his 20th home run of the season to go along with Ronny Mauricio's rocket double for his first career hit and Daniel Vogelbach's late inning RBI single which would prove to be the game winner.
According to Stathead's data, last night's home run by Mark Vientos off Aroldis Chapman was the 98th time in Mets history that they've gotten a solo shot with two outs in the ninth inning, and the third time this season.It's the second time this season that a rookie has saved the Mets from being shut out this way, as Francisco Álvarez also did it on July 5 in Arizona. The difference there was that the Mets were only down 1-0, so it was a game-tying home run — one of 13 out of these 98 when the Mets were one swing of the bat from getting even, and got even with the one swing of the bat.The Mets went on to win that game on Mark Canha's triple to score Brett Baty later in the ninth, and a 1-2-3 bottom of the frame by David Robertson. They did not win the other game when they got a solo shot with their last gasp, as Eduardo Escobar only got the Mets within 9-8 against Atlanta on May 1, the final score of that one.The most recent walkoff on a two-out solo shot by a Met was nearly five years ago, September 13, 2018, as Todd Frazier ended the first game of a doubleheader moments after Michael Conforto had also homered off Kyle Barraclough for one of those 13 game-tying solo shots.There have been 58 of these homers when the Mets have been behind in a game, including Vientos last night. His dinger followed Escobar into a more exclusive club, the 24th solo home run in Mets history when down to their final out at home.Only three of those have been tying homers: Conforto in 2018, Jerry Buchek off Atlanta's Dick Kelley in 1967, and Gus Bell in the fifth game in Mets history, off Jim Golden of the Houston Colt .45s at the Polo Grounds. Herb Moford gave up a three-run homer to Don Buddin in the 11th inning and the Mets would need to wait another six days to get their first-ever win.Vientos' homer saving the Mets from being blanked at home puts him in a club that only started in 1976, when Ron Hodges went deep off Pittsburgh's Doc Medich, followed like last night by the final out of a 2-1 game. On August 27, 1985, Darryl Strawberry ended Jerry Reuss' bid for a complete game shutout, but Tom Niedenfuer came out of the Dodgers bullpen to strike out George Foster and notch another 2-1 verdict.The disappointment was not as stark, nor as important, the following September 8, when Strawberry denied Bob Sebra a shutout at Shea. Sebra got the complete game win, and did shut out the Mets three weeks later in Montreal, on just two hits — a Gary Carter double in the second, and an infield hit by Lenny Dykstra in the sixth.There was even less drama on October 2, 2001, when Jay Payton denied Bronson Arroyo what would've been his first career shutout. He still got his first complete game and a 10-1 win, but had to wait until 2006 to twirl the first of his six career shutouts.Strawberry and Hodges are the only ones there with Vientos in homering to get the Mets one more chance in a game they trailed 2-0. The last time before last night that the Mets broke up a shutout at home this way, it would've taken a lot more chances: Brandon Nimmo got the best of Danny Barnes on May 16, 2018, and Wilmer Flores followed with a double, but Barnes managed to compose himself and get Conforto to ground out and lock down the Blue Jays' 12-1 triumph.Earlier that year, on April 15, Flores tagged Matt Albers of the Brewers for a two-out solo shot that was a walkoff. He also did it on July 22, 2017, off Oakland's Simon Castro. That ties Flores for the team record for a career, but not a single season, because Cleon Jones turned two 1-1 ties into 2-1 wins, just one week apart, in 1971 — August 21 off San Diego's Dave Roberts and August 28 against the Dodgers and Jim Brewer.Other than Flores, Jones, and Frazier, the Mets' walkoffs on solo shots, one out from extra innings, belong to Rusty Staub on May 9, 1982 off San Francisco's Greg Minton, and Mike Cameron off Danny Patterson to beat the Tigers on June 18, 2004.Cameron walked off Patterson and the Tigers the next night, too, delivering the decisive base hit in the 10th inning.

Fresh off their 7-1 victory over the Cardinals, Keith Raad hit the field to talk with Mets leadoff batter Brandon Nimmo to get his instant reaction to a game that was kicked off by his 18th home run of the season
After winning their 5th game in their last 6 outings Mets Manager Buck Showalter met with the media to discuss Joey Lucchesi's strong outing along with some strong nights at the plate from Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo all of which lead to the victory.
The Mets have now won their last three games and 5 of their last 6 as Pat McCarthy recaps a win which came on the back of a strong return outing from Joey Lucchesi who threw 5.2 innings along with home runs from Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil with the former opening the game while the latter was the cherry on top of an explosive 5 run 7th inning.
The Mets have been on a hot streak as of late and Keith Raad caught up with the team's Manager, Buck Showalter, ahead of their Saturday night contest against the Cardinals to discuss how he has been shuffling around the arms and how some new and returning arms help make his job easier along with what he likes about how Brandon Nimmo has been swinging the bat all season.
Brandon Nimmo was once one of the best lead off hitters in the game. Now, his on base has dipped while his power numbers are the best they've ever been. And, he still doesn't steal any bases!!!!

Following his team's disappointing opener to their Saturday doubleheader against the Braves, Mets Manager Buck Showalter met with the media to give updates on the status of both Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo going into the night along with how to keep fighting after a loss like they suffered and why having another game so quickly will help ease what happened before.
Hour 4: We talked about Steve Cohen meeting the press again yesterday and we are still debating on what he meant by what he said about next year and free agents. Is Gio selling out now that he's into golf so much? A caller tells us that Sal Licata has gone on vacation with Chris Russo just so Sal could watch his kids. Stugotz said he should have been working at WFAN many years ago because he's so passionate about the station. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with Brandon Nimmo reacting to Steve Cohen's comments before the game. Tommy Lugauer was screaming on the afternoon show, saying he would root for aliens over the Yankees. We played all of the ‘Jazz Chisolm' cuts for Stugotz. In the final segment of the show, the Jets play the Browns tonight in the Hall of Fame Game and we will be watching to see what Zach Wilson looks like.
Hour 1: Stugotz from the Dan Le Batard Show is in for Boomer today so it's Gio & Stugotz this morning. Gio told a story about Chris Russo and ‘the family', a group of guys at WFAN who would bet on games with Russo. Gio was only making $31K at the time and lost $1100 and 6 months later Russo came looking for it. C-Lo is in for Jerry and starts with audio from Steve Cohen talking about his conversation with Max Scherzer and not going all in on free agents next season. Gio does not like that Cohen is not going to do everything they can to win next year and it reminds him of the Wilpons. It sounds like the Mets are not going to make a legitimate offer for Ohtani. The Yankees beat the Rays last night behind a Giancarlo Stanton 3-run HR. Domingo German voluntarily entered an alcohol rehab program. The Jets play the Browns tonight in the Hall of Fame game and we'll see a lot of Zach Wilson. In the final segment of the hour, Stugotz talked about the dangers of NYC and having to dodge scooters and bicycles. And everyone is smoking weed everywhere. Hour 2: Stugotz is excited to be on WFAN as he's been a huge fan of the station for many years. He was even excited to meet Eddie Scozarre. But he doesn't know who Dov is, which seems strange since he's been at WFAN since day one. Gio does not like that Steve Cohen said they will not be in on huge free agents. C-Lo returns for an update but first we talked about Jerry vacationing in Texas which is confusing to Gio. And McMonigle is going to Florida this month. C-Lo has audio from Cohen before the game. He didn't like the Mets' ‘crummy' odds to make the playoffs. He also said, ‘hope's not a strategy'. The Yankees beat the Rays 7-2 behind solid offense from Anthony Volpe and Giancarlo Stanton. Domingo German is entering an alcohol rehab problem and is done for the season. The Jets play the Browns tonight in an early pre-season game. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about being friends with someone and then that friend starts doing better in life and you don't hear back from them. Hour 3: Giants GM Joe Schoen calls in. When he was working with the Dolphins he was a neighbor of Stugotz. He talked about his relationship with Saquon Barkley and how business isn't personal. He also talked about reasons why the RB position seems undervalued in the NFL. C-Lo returns for an update but first Stugotz said he liked betting better when it was illegal. We heard audio from Steve Cohen on what they accomplished dealing Scherzer and Verlander. Gio and C-Lo go at it over what Steve Cohen said or didn't say about next season. Aaron Boone was on Jomboy's ‘Talkin Yanks' podcast and was getting testy with the host about Aaron Judge getting days off. In the final segment of the hour, Youseff is in the studio to talk about the Women's World Cup and whether French women shave their armpits. Hour 4: We talked about Steve Cohen meeting the press again yesterday and we are still debating on what he meant by what he said about next year and free agents. Is Gio selling out now that he's into golf so much? A caller tells us that Sal Licata has gone on vacation with Chris Russo just so Sal could watch his kids.

Hour 2: Gio heard a commercial during the break for Fan Duel. Shaun Morash was the voice of the commercial and he said ‘baysh-ball season is here' instead of ‘baseball'. There's a never ending supply of ‘goodbye shows' going on at WFAN right now. Craig is leaving, Sal is moving time slots, Tiki & Tierney are breaking up. Gio thinks Craig faked a phone call when they saw each other on the street. Gio thought of doing that move but Craig beat him to it. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio said the station is running a promo involving the fake spike game and Gio thinks it's disrespectful to Boomer. Jerry starts with audio from Aaron Rodgers at the psychedelic conference. The Mets are only 19% to make the playoffs. The Mets hit 4 HRs last night and beat the Brewers. Nimmo hit 2, Lindor and Vogelbach also had homers. The Yankees lost to the lowly A's, 2-1 in Oakland. Josh Donaldson did hit a HR in the loss. Shohei Ohtani hit 2 HRs and struck out 10. Tobias Harris talked about trade speculation from casual Sixers fans. In the final segment of the hour, Ryan Seacrest will be the new host for Wheel of Fortune. Gio thinks that's a really easy job to do. Vanna White has hired a lawyer because of what she's been paid over the years.
Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the Mets actually having some offense and beating the Brewers. They hit 4 HRs. Brandon Nimmo had 2 of them. David Peterson gave them 6 solid innings last night. Billy Eppler talked to the media before the game and was asked how much of this he takes the blame for. The Yankees lost in Oakland 2-1.

Hour 1: Boomer is back from New Hampshire but got in very late because of weather and airport delays. The Yankees lost to the A's 2-1. Steve Cohen will meet the media later today and we all expect him to say the same thing Billy Eppler said yesterday. A lot of fans have invested money in this team and paid for tickets for future games and they are not living up to their end of the bargain. Gio said Mets fans need to detach from the team but Boomer isn't doing that. Gio vowed not to talk about the Mets again unless something major happened and now Steve Cohen is going to talk so we have to talk about them again. Maybe there's internal strife going on with the Mets. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the Mets actually having some offense and beating the Brewers. They hit 4 HRs.

Hour 1: We are live from the Travelers golf tournament. We talked about the chaos for all of us getting up here. Gio was on a ferry and Boomer's helicopter flew right over him on his way here. There were rumors Boomer was upset with his hotel room and left. A new lineup at WFAN was announced yesterday and we reacted to it. Gio is most interested in how Brandon Tierney and Sal Licata will get along. Boomer spilled coffee on his crotch and is using a Tide stick to try and get it out. Scottie Sheffler is supposed to be coming by later today. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and he starts with the Yankees beating the Mariners behind GERRIT Cole and a HR by Billy McKinney and we got a new John Sterling call. Cole waved his finger at the Mariners bench at one point after striking out Jose Caballero. Cole said the manager was waving his finger at him so he waved it back. Aaron Hicks continues to perform well for the Orioles. He hit another HR and had 4 RBIs. The Astros got to Justin VERLANDER in the third for 3 runs and it was enough to beat the Mets. The Mets didn't have a hit until the sixth inning. VERLANDER talked about his performance in Houston. The GM of the Angels said it's highly unlikely that they trade OHTANI while in contention. The Rangers new Head Coach, Peter Laviolette, met the media yesterday and Jerry has the audio. His wife told him he had to smile. In the final segment of the hour, Gio yells to golfer Tony Finau as he leaves the practice green. We talked about the life of a golfer as they go from tournament to tournament. We still don't have any details on how it's going to work with the PGA Tour and LIV. Boomer is playing at the course later on. Gio heard Tiki is a 20 handicap and he expected better. Visually, it was very weird to see Tiki standing next to Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash. Hour 2: Boomer doesn't know who Old Dirty Bastard is. He knows who Wu Tang is but not ODB. When Eddie plays his inappropriate drops, they go out over the loudspeaker here at the Travelers. We talked a little baseball with the locals. What can the Mets do to turn it around and become a playoff baseball team by the end of the season? There still seems to be no real timetable for Aaron Judge's return. The Yankees are just not the same team without him in the lineup. The other stars on the team are not carrying their weight. The Braves and the Rays look like only real teams in baseball right now. Who are the homegrown difference makers on the Mets? Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil, Brandon NIMMO? But they are not like Aaron Judge. Boomer was with Jets GM Joe Douglas yesterday and they talked about Aaron Rodgers and what it's like to be around a Hall of Fame QB. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Justin VERLANDER returning to Houston. He gave up 3 runs in the third and that was enough for the Astros to beat the Mets. VERLANDER talked about giving up the HR to Alex Bregman. Jeff McNeil talked about losing and needing to get hot. The Yankees beat the Mariners. Gio is starstruck by all the golfers and Boomer told him to ‘take your shirt off and shake your nipples at him'. Billy McKinney hit a HR and talked about facing Kirby. Cole talked about getting the win. Brian CASHMAN talked before the game about their offensive struggles. The Rangers introduced their new Head Coach Peter LAVIOLETTE. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the missing submarine that was touring the Titanic wreckage. Supposedly the rescuers heard some banging. Even if they find it, how are they going to bring it to the surface? Boomer would never get into a submarine like that. Hour 3: Former Giant Shaun O'Hara won Boomer's golf tournament yesterday.

In the final segment of the hour, Boomer & Gio used the port-o-potty during the break and there was a lot of poop in there. Boomer said it's a pile of human waste over there. Who are the stars in golf right now? What made Tom Brady a superstar? Can Scottie Sheffler become a superstar? Hour 4: Scottie Sheffler joins us live from the Travelers. He said he's still not sure how it will work with the PGA Tour and LIV merging. He didn't want to go to LIV because he dreamed of playing on the PGA Tour.

We talked a little baseball with the locals. What can the Mets do to turn it around and become a playoff baseball team by the end of the season? There still seems to be no real timetable for Aaron Judge's return. The Yankees are just not the same team without him in the lineup. The other stars on the team are not carrying their weight. The Braves and the Rays look like only real teams in baseball right now. Who are the homegrown difference makers on the Mets? Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil, Brandon NIMMO? But they are not like Aaron Judge. Boomer was with Jets GM Joe Douglas yesterday and they talked about Aaron Rodgers and what it's like to be around a Hall of Fame QB.

The Mets beat the Yankees last night so they split the Subway Series. Boomer said both games were very entertaining. Nobody was dogging it in either of these games. The Mets did make a lot of mental mistakes that even Steve Cohen was tweeting about. IKF stole home which seems very exhilarating. Gio wonders who in Mets management loves Daniel Vogelbach so much. He has been out of the lineup for a mental break.
Hour 3: The U.S. Open gets underway today at the L.A. Country Club and Gio is very interested now that he's an actual golfer. This is a USGA event and not a PGA event. It's the one championship Phil Mickelson has not won.

Hour 1: The Yankees beat the Mets last night and it was a perfect example of what the Mets season is right now. Max Scherzer had another bad start and couldn't get out of the fourth inning. And then Francisco Lindor struck out in the 8th inning with the bases loaded. That's where they are right now. Scherzer's best days are behind him. Lindor's best days are behind him. Gio is going to emotionally detach as a Mets fan and will not allow them to ruin his Summer. He may emotionally reattach at some point and he's earned the right to do that as a longtime Mets fan. Gio said Max Scherzer will ride off into the sunset leaving orange and blue rubble behind. Gio has had a great 2023 so far and he is not going to let the Mets ruin it.
