David Peterson had a rough night in Philadelphia and the Mets are now a second place team. They were swept by the Rays, swept by the Braves and lost 2-of-3 to the Phillies. It's going to be extremely hot during this Mets series against the Braves. The Mets sent Francisco Alvarez down to Syracuse because of the way he's playing.

Two things Boomer was talking about last week came true. Francisco Alvarez was sent down to Syracuse, and Tyrese Haliburton's calf injury turned into an achilles injury. He is likely going to miss all of next season. Kevin Durant was traded to the Rockets and he found out about it on stage at FanaticsFest.

Hour 1 Boomer's predictions came true: Francisco Alvarez was sent down, and Tyrese Haliburton's calf injury became a season-ending Achilles injury. Kevin Durant was traded to the Rockets, finding out live at FanaticsFest. Peter Schwartz, filling in for Jerry, provided his first update, covering the Thunder's NBA Championship, Haliburton's injury, and KD's trade reaction. The Mets lost to the Phillies, falling out of first place, while the Yankees beat the Orioles thanks to Jazz Chisholm. Tom Brady won the Fanatics Games, distributing cash to fans. The hour ended with Keegan Bradley's Travelers Championship win. Hour 2 The Mets, after a rough night from David Peterson and series losses to the Rays, Braves, and Phillies, are now in second place. Francisco Alvarez was sent to Syracuse. Peter Schwartz provided an update, starting with the Thunder's NBA Championship win over Indiana. The Mets lost their series to the Phillies, while the Yankees won theirs against the Orioles. The segment concluded with questions about TMZ's coverage of Aaron Rodgers' wife and Travis Hunter's marriage without a prenuptial agreement. Hour 3 After phone service resumed, callers discussed Boomer's accurate Tyrese Haliburton injury prediction and Gio's avoidance of the Mets' struggles. Fanatics-Fest amateur winner Matt called in. Peter Schwartz provided an update, addressing his son's "portal" status and a caller's "bag of problems" comment. He covered the Thunder's NBA Championship win, mixed reactions to Kristin Chenoweth's anthem, and the Yankees' victory over the Orioles with Jazz Chisholm's help. The segment ended with a comparison of Peter to Mr. Met and a discussion of the old Yankees mascot, "Dandy," plus a question about the Mets' slump-busting. Hour 4 Woody Johnson is buying into Crystal Palace F.C. The show discussed the old Yankees mascot, Dandy. Callers disliked the Mets' joking during losses and pondered Boomer's QB helmet confusion. Peter Schwartz's final update covered the Thunder's NBA Championship, Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles injury, Mets' loss, and Yankees' win. The College World Series saw controversy. "Moment of The Day" was Peter being called "a bag of problems." The show ended discussing Joe Burrow's poor baseball throwing and Bengals contract situations.

BT and Sal dive into the Mets' decision to send Francisco Alvarez down to Triple-A, with Sal emphasizing it's on Alvarez to get his mind and game right, applauding the Mets for making the tough call given his defensive struggles. They discuss the frustration of the Mets' lineup holes and the reliance on young talent, contrasting it with the Yankees' approach. The conversation then takes an unexpected turn as they discuss the movie Die Hard, with Sal admitting he only recently watched the first one and found it bothersome that Bruce Willis's character was barefoot, much to BT's shock and dismay. They then playfully debate the merits of Die Hard versus Rocky as a "guy movie" and quiz each other on other action film classics. Timestamps: 0:00:00 - 0:13:00: Discussion on Francisco Alvarez's demotion, Mets' lineup issues, and young player development. 0:13:00 - 0:24:00: Transition to discussing the movie Die Hard, Sal's unfamiliarity, and the barefoot scene. 0:24:00 - 0:30:00: Debate about Die Hard vs. Rocky and a "guy movie" quiz.

BT and Sal engage in a heated discussion about the New York Mets' decision to send catcher Francisco Alvarez down to Triple-A. While acknowledging Alvarez's recent home run, they both agree that the demotion, though tough for the young player, was ultimately the right call due to his inconsistent performance both offensively and defensively. They emphasize the need for him to regain confidence and refine his game in a less pressurized environment, drawing parallels to other young prospects and the importance of a team's veteran core. The conversation highlights the Mets' high expectations and the need for immediate production, contrasting it with relying on unproven talent from the minor leagues.

Mets Catcher Francisco Alvarez will have a front row seat to every pitch thrown in tonight's start from Griffin Canning and ahead of the game he met with Pat McCarthy to discuss what he's expecting from his battery mate in addition to how he and the rest of the lineup will look to attack Mick Abel.

Yankees and Mets are a combined 0-11 since last Friday. Gio says “I told you so” fans are getting louder but to calm down. Has Boomer ever seen a week like this in 18 years? The Mets had a chance to bury the Braves but instead are breathing life into them. Anthony Volpe's crucial error cost the Yankees. Gio says it's tough for any Yankee to play in the shadow of former legends. Volpe and Francisco Alvarez were top prospects who have disappointed. The Lakers sale has Boomer wondering about the value of the Yankees and Gio thinks the Steinbrenner's group chat was going off yesterday. CLo is in for Jerry but before he can begin his first update of the day, Boomer has critiques of his haircut and attire. Does Boomer ever wear shorts to work? Gio once complimented Mike Francesa's shorts but was told he could never get shorts like that. Anthony Volpe's error allowed the go-ahead run to score for the Angels. Boomer says bet the Yankees today as it will be “explosion day”. Paul Blackburn allowed a HR on the first pitch of the game and that was all the Braves needed to beat the Mets. Luis Torrens made a mental error that gave the Braves a run later in the inning. How can the Mets fix Francisco Alvarez? In the final segment of the hour, Gio tells Boomer that a song from 1981 is now a popular dance trend on TikTok. The guys also discuss food allergies and Gio asks Eddie if something he saw online about dogs behavior is true?

Hour 1 The Yankees and Mets both lost again but Gio is trying to stay positive. What can the teams do about Anthony Volpe and Francisco Alvarez? CLo plays the lowlight of the Volpe error from the Yankees loss and then moves to the Mets getting shutout in Atlanta. Boomer thinks Thursday will be “explosion day” for the Yankees offense. Finally, a song from Boomer's youth is popular on TikTok and Gio has a question for Eddie about dogs. Hour 2 The Lakers are being sold for $10 billion. Would Dolan or the Steinbrenners consider selling? Gio says fans, not the Yankees, are responsible for overhyping Anthony Volpe. The Yankees and Mets had another night of bad losses and their division leads are shrinking. The hour ended with a debunked Hulk Hogan report, Shedeur Sanders getting pulled over for speeding and more Anthony Volpe calls. Hour 3 Boomer and Gio are asked about the King of NY. Adam Schefter is getting into golf. We have an answer on the last time both the Yankees and Mets had losing streaks this long at the same time. CLo has all of the lowlights and postgame reaction from another night of losing New York baseball. Scottie Scheffler says golf fans root for carnage. Boomer and Gio congratulate Ann Liguori. Hour 4 Atlanta is still a house of horrors for the Mets and Gio believes he has a good relationship with Carlos Mendoza, who could be at Fanatics Fest on Saturday. Tommy DeVito and Jaxson Dart watch Love Island together. Can women parallel park and is Evan a classic Muppet?

The Yankees and Mets continue to lose and are 0-11 combined since last Friday. The Yankees finally scored but not enough to win and the Mets are breathing life into the Braves. Gio says the “I told you so” fans are getting louder but his message to everyone is to calm down. He's staying positive. Has Boomer sat through a full week like this with both teams losing every game in his 18 years of hosting this show? The Mets had a chance to bury the Braves but instead are breathing life into them. Anthony Volpe's crucial error cost the Yankees and Gio says it's tough for any Yankee to play in the shadow of former franchise legends. Volpe and Francisco Alvarez were both two top prospects who have disappointed early in their careers. The Lakers sale has Boomer wondering about the value of the Yankees and Gio thinks the Steinbrenner's group chat must have been going off yesterday because of the news.

Anthony Volpe's error allowed the go-ahead run to score for the Angels. Boomer says bet the Yankees today as it will be “explosion day”.

Season 8, Episode 6 is here, and while Farace is off the grid watching his son's championship game—Angels vs. Mets, because of course that's the matchup—Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe are stepping up to the mic. Well, Joe's technically behind the wall, but we'll pretend he's contributing more than just echoing Keith's stats.The Mets snapped a three-game losing streak last night with a solid win over the Red Sox, thanks to Brett Baty finally waking up at the plate and Tylor Megill looking like a guy who wants to stay in this rotation permanently. The Mets now sit at 29-19 and are still holding strong near the top of the division, despite the recent hiccups.It might be time to officially say it: the Mets have five pretty good starters. This rotation has been the unexpected rock of the team, which is saying something when your offense and defense have been running on vibes and hope against teams like the Yankees and Red Sox.Starling Marte was bumped up to the two-hole yesterday, which sounds good on paper… until you watch him take three pitches nowhere near the zone and walk back to the dugout like he forgot what a bat is for. The fellas will discuss how long that experiment should last—though with Keith's patience, he's probably ready to send Marte to the seventh spot already.Luisangel Acuña continues to try to make his case in the bigs, while in the minors, names like Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat are lurking—just waiting for someone to slip up. The competition is real, and with Rodriguez scouting the Syracuse box scores daily, expect a strong opinion or seven.Francisco Alvarez has returned and is now splitting duties with Luis Torrens, which gives us all the opportunity to watch Mets Twitter melt down every other night depending on who's behind the plate. But hey, if the pitchers keep throwing gems, maybe the platoon is working—though don't expect Producer Joe to commit to a side. He's still emotionally recovering from Tomas Nido.And then there's Juan Soto. A little jog here, a few boos in the Bronx there, and suddenly the guy's a lightning rod. Is it overblown, or is this just the beginning of Mets fans getting real acquainted with the “Soto Experience”? We'll break it down with the usual amount of sarcasm, overreaction, and probably a conspiracy theory from Rodriguez.Coming up next: nine straight at Citi Field—three against the Dodgers, three against the White Sox, and three more against the Rockies. If there was ever a stretch to gain some momentum, this is it... unless Producer Joe jinxes it by calling for a sweep again.Join us tonight as we talk Mets, roast each other, and try to convince ourselves that a quiet week in Flushing is a real thing. Let's put it in the books.

Zach, Jack, and Andrew discuss TNT, the Danny Young and Winker injuries, the return of Dedniel Núñez, lefty bullpen options, starting pitcher length, RISP woes, Francisco Alvarez and pop time, the return of Brett Baty, Mets team defense, and an odd Mets team stat.

After starting the season on the IL Francisco Alvarez has been slowly making his way back and he met with Pat McCarthy to discuss where he feels his game is on both sides of the plate and how he has progressed as a big league catcher as he plays more games in his career.

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop a new episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as the Mets reach 20 wins after bouncing back in a huge way from their ugly loss to the Nationals on Sunday. The guys recap New York's Monday afternoon rout of the Nationals, headlined by Brandon Nimmo tying the single-game franchise RBI record. They also discuss Edwin Diaz's inconsistency and how to balance the return of Jeff McNeil and Francisco Alvarez. Later, the guys bring back “Tales from the Pitching Lab” to break down what adjustments have helped Tylor Megill, and then go Down on the Farm to check in on Marco Vargas after his promotion to Brooklyn. Finally, The Scoreboard sees a flip and the Mailbag gets opened to feature questions about a future GM under David Stearns, a former Met that would have benefited from the pitching lab, and the gameplan once Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas return.

The Nats were blanked 2-0 by the Mets on Saturday afternoon in D.C. Al & Mark evaluate the wasted opportunity as their solid pitching performance did not get any help from the offense. The bats produced only singles in their seven hits in defeat. (05:45) Jose Tena singled but most importantly had another good day at 3B in the field. Tena has been filling in at the hot corner due to Paul DeJong's trip to the IL and has markedly improved on defense since last season. (09:35) Brad Lord's started last four innings, but was interrupted by a brief early rain delay. Lord gave up a 2 run HR to Francisco Alvarez, the only source of scoring on Saturday. Lord began the season a reliever, but has filled in as a starter during Michael Soroka's stint on the IL. (16:00) The bullpen combined to toss five scoreless frames in the loss. Encouragingly, Lucas Sims threw one inning and only needed nine pitches in the process. (22:10) Mitchell Parker will take the mound on Sunday and believe it or not, but he leads all of MLB in pitcher WAR so far this season. (24:15) Juan Soto went for 0 for 4 on Saturday and is hitting .235 thus far. Soto has not homered since April 15th, but the Mets do have the best record in baseball.

After a 3-3 road trip through the land of transplanted teams and lakes with too many names, The Put it in the Books Show is back with its second episode of Season 8! Farace, Rodriguez, and Keith are on deck, while Producer Joe takes the night off—probably still recovering from his scouting trip to find the best hot dog stand at Target Field.The Mets head back to Citi Field with an 11-7 record, a team ERA of 2.38 (best in baseball), and an offense that continues to hit like it's allergic to the month of April. They're batting .219 as a team (21st in MLB), which somehow looks worse when you realize half of the team's errors belong to Francisco Lindor, who apparently wanted to make sure fans stayed warm by keeping the gloves moving. But are Mets fans overreacting to the defensive struggles of an elite shortstop, or should we expect cleaner play from a guy getting paid like a defensive anchor?In center field, Jose Siri is hurt—again. So who should get the majority of the playing time? The crew debates whether the next man up is the answer or just a placeholder until someone actually hits .250.And in what can only be described as the most Mets thing ever, Francisco Alvarez homered in a rehab game, then got hit on the exact same hand he broke. Luckily, he's going to be okay—but is the universe just messing with us at this point?Plus: do injuries sometimes fast track the future? With younger players being thrown into the fire earlier than expected, are we getting a sneak preview of what the next generation of Mets might look like? And should we be concerned that said sneak preview includes a .219 team average?We'll also preview the upcoming seven-game homestand against the Cardinals and Phillies, which means we're about to find out whether the Mets are contenders, pretenders, or just really good at ruining Philly fans' weeks.Join us for all that, plus dry humor, overreactions, and Rodriguez trying to claim he predicted this pitching dominance all along. It's Season 8, Episode 2. Let's put it in the books!

Today's word of the day is 'change of heart' as in Myles Garrett as in the Browns as in Cleveland as in the NFL. Garrett is staying in Cleveland. Wanted out. Browns said no. Browns paid him record-setting money. What happened to winning? (13:30) Josh Allen is the new highest paid player in NFL history. $250 million guaranteed. Sorry, Watson. (18:45) Gerrit Cole could be done for the season. This is a nightmare for the Yankees. (28:50) The Mets will be without catcher Francisco Alvarez for 8 weeks. Here we ago again! (33:45) Review: Goodrich. (36:10) It's Rays update time. This is a big one. (47:00) The Sacramento Athletics of Las Vegas has a huge announcement. Was it a move? Was it the new stadium? Was it a sale? Nope. It was a new patch. (50:34) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
