Podcast appearances and mentions of Francisco Lindor

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

The vibes in Queens have officially hit rock bottom. In Episode 9 of Season 5, we break down another brutal stretch of baseball as the Mets continue spiraling with no signs of urgency or accountability from the top down. Is it finally time for David Stearns to wave the white flag and begin selling before the deadline frenzy begins?We dive into the uncomfortable conversations surrounding the future of the franchise — including the unthinkable question: could Francisco Lindor actually be moved if this organization decides a full reset is necessary? Plus, frustrations boil over with the continued struggles of David Peterson and Mark Vientos, the lack of adjustments across the roster, and a clubhouse culture that feels completely stale.The guys also sound off on Carlos Mendoza and why confidence in the manager may have officially evaporated. From lineup decisions to bullpen usage to the team's overall lack of fire, nothing is off limits in one of the most heated episodes of the season.All that and more on this episode of the podcast.

Ewing, Bo Bichette, Nick Morabito, Mark Vientos, and more, plus a pitch to the audience to come up with a different nickname for the Mets youth movement that is better than "Baby Mets."

Craig and Chris debate whether the Mets perform better without Francisco Lindor and analyze the current state of the Yankees' lineup. They also dive into the decline of Sports Illustrated following a plagiarism scandal and the history of the legendary Sid Finch hoax. Finally, Chris's sons call in to earn exclusive Looney Tunes team hats by answering team trivia. 01:50 - Mets Performance Without Lindor 04:50 - Viral Mariners Foul Ball Incident 14:38 - Knicks and Cavaliers Series Debate 30:14 - Yankees Catcher and Infield Struggles 36:52 - Sports Illustrated Plagiarism Scandal 46:40 - Portuguese Dining in the Ironbound 01:02:54 - Yankee Trivia With C-Mac's Kids 01:09:19 - Evan Roberts' Performative Scorekeeping

The Mets finally have a little life, but even a dramatic win comes with a fresh injury scare. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down the energy brought by Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing, and the Mets youth movement while wondering how much hope is real with Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, and other key pieces banged up. The guys also dig into the Yankees recent struggles, Max Fried injury concerns, Anthony Volpe's uncertain role, and what it all means heading into the Subway Series. Plus, they react to NFL schedule leaks, the Giants landing early prime time games, the Jets facing a huge Week 1 tone setter, and the usual chaos that comes with fans overreacting to baseball in May.

The NFL schedule leaks have Evan and Tiki fired up, especially with the Jets potentially opening against the Titans in a game that already feels loaded with pressure. From prime time complaints to revenge game fatigue, they break down why fans obsess over every matchup before a single snap is played. The conversation also hits the Knicks' wait for OG Anunoby, Jalen Brunson's humble response to being called a star, Francisco Lindor's uncertain injury timeline, and the Mets trying to build momentum before the Subway Series. Evan and Tiki mix sharp analysis with fan frustration as New York sports enters a stretch filled with questions, hope, and plenty of overreaction.

Evan and Tiki dig into two major New York injury questions, starting with Francisco Lindor's latest MRI and why his return still feels far away despite signs of healing. With strength training next and no clear timetable, the Mets may be waiting a while before their star shortstop is back on the field. The conversation then turns to OG Anunoby and Mike Brown's vague update ahead of the Knicks' next playoff series. Evan and Tiki debate whether Brown is genuinely uncertain or simply playing coy, while also reacting to Jalen Brunson rejecting the star label and explaining why his humble, win first mindset fits this Knicks run.

Well look at this. The Mets are actually playing competent baseball again. After the disaster movie that was April, the Mets have gone 8-4 in May, averaging 4.75 runs per game while allowing just 3.33 runs per game — a massive turnaround from April's painful 2.81 runs scored and 4.46 runs allowed per game. Amazing what happens when the offense remembers its job description and the pitching staff stops treating every inning like an escape room challenge.Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe break down a Mets team that suddenly has energy, confidence, and — somehow — young players stepping up in huge spots. Jared Benge walked off the Tigers last night and continues to look like one of the few people in this organization who doesn't seem terrified of big moments. Meanwhile, Ewing gets the call to the majors and immediately keeps raking like he skipped the “adjustment period” memo entirely. The kids are alright… which honestly might be the most shocking development of the season.The offense has also finally started manufacturing runs instead of waiting around for somebody to hit a 3-run homer into another zip code. Small ball? Situational hitting? Productive at-bats? What is this, actual baseball? We'll get into what's changed offensively and why this lineup suddenly feels more connected than it did a month ago when everybody looked like they met each other in the parking lot before first pitch.On the pitching side, the young arms continue to flash potential while also driving everyone insane with inconsistency. The stuff is there. The command? That's another story. We'll talk about the growing pains, why catchers and pitching coaches need to react faster when guys clearly lose the zone, and why leaving struggling pitchers out there too long keeps turning manageable innings into full-blown disasters.Injury-wise, Juan Soto survived what initially looked like a scary ankle situation, while Francisco Alvarez was not nearly as lucky after tearing his MCL. Francisco Lindor's calf is reportedly improving, but the Mets still haven't given a real timeline because apparently mystery injuries are now part of the organizational identity.And now comes the fun part.Fresh off a 3-game sweep of the Tigers at Citi Field, the Mets now welcome the Yankees to Queens for a huge weekend Subway Series before heading out on a 7-game road trip through Washington and Miami. So yes… the vibes are finally improving. Which for Mets fans usually means preparing emotionally for something ridiculous to happen next.We'll break down all of it the only way we know how — baseball, sarcasm, chaos, soundboard abuse, and probably at least one unnecessary shot at the Yankees before the night's over.LGM. #PiitB #Mets

For about five minutes, it actually felt like the Mets were putting things together. Three straight wins. Four wins in five games. The offense waking up. The starters finally pitching deeper into games. Actual signs of life.And then Craig Kimbrell came jogging out of the bullpen like it was 2017.The Mets were one inning away from getting back to 4 wins in 5 games before Kimbrell decided to turn Coors Field into batting practice, serving up a grand slam that completely killed the momentum and dropped the Mets right back to 9 games under .500. Tremendous signing. Really elite stuff. Nothing says “stabilize the bullpen” quite like immediately detonating a game in the 8th inning.And the best part? Nobody even knows if the grand slam was actually fair or foul because apparently the Colorado Rockies are still using security cameras from a 2004 gas station. Every replay angle was obstructed, blurry, blocked by fans, or shot from somewhere near Wyoming. The umpires called it fair… and that was basically the end of the conversation because MLB apparently entered the witness protection program when it comes to competent replay systems in Denver.So now Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe try to figure out whether the Mets are actually improving… or if this team simply enjoys finding new and creative ways to ruin everyone's mood.The offense HAS looked better lately, which honestly seemed impossible a couple weeks ago. Marcus Semien is finally starting to look like a functioning baseball player again both offensively and defensively, while Mark Vientos continues to prove why the Mets keep giving him opportunities. The power is real. The defense? Still feels like every ground ball comes with suspense music.And in shocking baseball news, when the starters pitch deeper into games… the Mets actually win. Incredible discovery. Somebody alert NASA. We'll get into why the rotation settling down has helped and why Sean Manaea continues to look less like a reliable starter and more like a weekly social experiment designed to test Mets fans' sanity.We'll also cover injury updates involving AJ Minter, Jorge Polanco, and Francisco Lindor as the Mets try to survive long enough to keep the season from completely spiraling before summer even starts.The good news? April is over. The bad news? The Mets are still the Mets.Next up is 3 against the Diamondbacks before an off day Monday and a return home to Citi Field for a series against the Tigers.So yes… technically things look a little better.But every time this team gives you hope, somebody immediately drives it into a wall.LGM. #PiitB #Mets

The Knicks' playoff run sparked a full blown debate over celebrity fandom and who deserved to be at Madison Square Garden for Game 1. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to Ben Stiller attending the Met Gala instead of the Knicks game, whether that says anything about his loyalty as a fan, and why some celebrities get judged differently when their teams are finally winning. The guys also dive into Francisco Lindor showing up courtside while the Mets continue to struggle, leading to a heated discussion about whether injured stars should avoid the spotlight when their teams are disappointing fans. Along the way, Evan and Tiki debate public perception, sports loyalty, and the strange rules surrounding celebrity treatment at Madison Square Garden while listeners weigh in with strong opinions of their own.

The Knicks took control early and left Philadelphia fans scrambling for answers after a blowout playoff opener. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the wave of excuses coming from Sixers media and fans, from Joel Embiid's fatigue to complaints about the playoff schedule. They debate whether Philadelphia should have practically punted Game 1, why Embiid continues to face criticism in big moments, and whether the Knicks are suddenly looking like a legitimate championship threat. The conversation also shifts into celebrity controversy surrounding Madison Square Garden. Ben Stiller catches heat for attending the Met Gala instead of the game, while Francisco Lindor's appearance courtside sparks debate among frustrated Mets fans. Plus, the guys dive into sports fandom sacrifices, bizarre New York sports moments, and another hilarious round of Posted and Toasted featuring old tweets, Cinco de Mayo confusion, and classic New York City chaos.

Covino & Rich break down the worst insults in sports, starting with Shilo Sanders telling Cleveland reporter Mary Kay Cabot to "go make me a sandwich" and spiraling into hairline jokes, short-king disrespect, and Dalton Rushing getting caught lip-reading at Miguel Amaya. Then Max Kellerman's viral intersection thought experiment forces the question: is boxing actually your favorite sport and you just don't know it yet? Covino argues football has replaced baseball as appointment viewing, Ramirez for Cinco de Mayo weekend. Plus the latest "They Might Be ASS" Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez's slow start, Francisco Lindor and the Mets clubhouse problem, and Kyle Schwarber hitting .190 on a stacked Phillies roster.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the mounting questions around the Mets, from alleged clubhouse tension to David Stearns' willingness to reshape the franchise without sentimentality. A caller's theory about Francisco Lindor opens the door to a larger debate about whether personality conflicts matter when a team is losing. The conversation turns to Carlos Mendoza's job security, why the Mets have not made a managerial change despite collapses and comparisons to other teams, and whether ownership and the front office are reluctant to admit a mistake. Evan and Tiki also revisit the strange timing of Willie Randolph's firing and wonder if history could repeat itself with Mendoza.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to another ugly Mets loss and dig into why this season feels like it is spiraling beyond just a bad offseason. From David Stearns' roster construction to failed player development and pitching problems, the conversation lays out why the Mets' issues may run much deeper than fans want to admit. They also debate whether bringing back familiar faces like Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo would have truly changed the Mets' outlook, explore a wild Francisco Lindor for Bryce Harper trade idea, and compare the future of Evan's Mets, Jets and Nets. Plus, the guys touch on the Yankees' loss, a key injury concern, and a surprisingly catchy new Mets misery anthem.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down another brutal Mets loss and ask whether this team's problems go even deeper than David Stearns' failed offseason. Evan argues that even bringing back familiar faces like Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo may not have saved the Mets, because the pitching, player development and young core have all collapsed at once. The conversation turns to the Mets' bleak outlook, their uncertain future compared to Evan's other favorite teams, and a stunning hypothetical trade with the Phillies. With both teams struggling, Evan and Tiki debate whether Francisco Lindor for Bryce Harper could ever make baseball sense, why both contracts make the idea at least worth discussing, and why the players themselves might ultimately shut it down.

Today's word of the day is ‘abnormal' as in the Mets as in Juan Soto as in Francisco Lindor as in group texts. The losing streak is over! The Mets have done it! A 3-2 game that felt more like a World Series Game 7. What a moment! But, we need to address this Soto texting situation. A veteran Mets player said it was normal. I am telling you it's not. (10:25) The Phillies are in trouble now. No more Mets streak so the Phillies are in the spotlight. The losing is too much, but Dave Dombrowski says it's not that bad… yet. (18:50) This Mike Vrabel story is now fully out of control. I cannot believe it. (30:50) Review: Wuthering Heights. (33:10) Devin Booker is going to get fiend. It's a given. He called out the officials by name after the loss to the Thunder. Wow. (44:05) George Pickens isn't getting a longterm deal this season. The Cowboys said it ain't happening. The bigger story here is that it was Stephen Jones who was the messenger, not Jerry. (49:20) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It is NFL Draft day, and the spotlight is squarely on the New York Jets and New York Giants as both franchises sit in pivotal positions that could shape their futures. With the Jets controlling the board at No. 2 and the Giants holding two top 10 picks, the conversation centers on risk versus readiness, building a foundation, and the unpredictable nature of evaluating rookies who could become stars or fall short. The discussion breaks down the Jets' options between immediate impact players and higher upside prospects, while also examining the Giants' need for a defensive leader to anchor their identity. There is debate over positional value, draft strategy, and how much fans should emotionally invest in selections given the uncertainty. The episode also touches on the excitement and pressure surrounding draft night, plus a look at the latest Mets concerns with Francisco Lindor dealing with injury and what it means moving forward.

A single comment from Juan Soto sets off a firestorm, leaving fans questioning his leadership and commitment during a tough stretch for the Mets. What initially sounds cold and indifferent quickly turns into a deeper conversation about how athletes handle injuries, separation from teammates, and what leadership actually looks like in professional sports. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down the full context behind Soto's remarks, including insights from veteran players and reactions inside the clubhouse. They explore the difference between vocal leaders like Francisco Lindor and quieter stars, while also debating whether high paid players are held to a different standard. The conversation expands into locker room dynamics, media narratives, and how quickly perception can shift once more information comes to light.

Concern rises for the New York Mets as Francisco Lindor exits with a calf injury, leaving a major question hanging over the team's immediate future. The discussion centers on how serious the injury could be, whether his lack of a full spring buildup played a role, and how cautious the Mets need to be with one of their most important players. The conversation shifts to how the Mets should respond in the short term, including the opportunity in front of younger players to step up and fill the void. There is also analysis of lineup decisions, positional adjustments, and the ripple effect on the team as they try to stay afloat during a difficult stretch, along with continued scrutiny surrounding Juan Soto and the overall clubhouse dynamic.

Jerry's got one more cut from the Yankees losing to the Angels. Francisco Lindor was on with Pardon My Take and then Jerry had a clip of Frank The Tank saying Lindor plays ‘grab ass' with the other team. Jason Whitlock talked about LaMelo Ball being tatted up and being immature. Nick Wright called LaMelo a clown. Lavar Ball responded by saying Wright is the clown because he has long hair and a big ass nose. Adults.

The frustration is boiling over as the New York Mets continue to spiral, and the comparisons to the Los Angeles Dodgers only make things worse. With nearly identical payrolls, the gap in talent and execution feels impossible to ignore, raising serious questions about roster construction, leadership, and whether this season is already slipping away. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down the staggering amount of money tied up in underperforming players and dead contracts, the lack of offensive production, and growing concerns around key stars like Francisco Lindor. They also debate accountability from the front office and ownership while exploring how a team with high expectations now looks disjointed, unproductive, and dangerously close to a lost season.

The New York Mets are off to a brutal start, and the frustration is already reaching a boiling point. After another lifeless loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the conversation turns to a shocking reality: two teams with similar payrolls that look like they belong in completely different leagues. The big question looms large, who if anyone can actually save this team? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into how the Mets' massive payroll is being wasted on underperforming players, questionable decisions, and millions tied up in guys no longer contributing. They break down the lack of offense, inconsistent stars like Francisco Lindor, and a roster that feels both too old and too young at the same time. The result is a team with no identity, no production, and growing concern that this season could unravel fast.

From 'Rico Brogna' (subscribe here): Nolan McLean went toe to toe with Yoshinobu Yamamoto Tuesday night in LA, but with how things are going a solo home run by Francisco Lindor to lead off the game was not enough to help the Mets win.
