Plus, Gio and Jerry on if this will be the most disappointing Mets season in the last 30 years; Gio reacts to the Mets pitching implosion on Wednesday night; BT and Sal erupt over the Mets blowing a 6-0 lead to the Braves; BT & Sal believe Juan Soto has been a failure; Evan and Tiki on the Mets moving Frankie Montas to the bullpen

Sal and BT are hyped about the Mets' decision to call up pitching prospect Nolan McLean, who will make his MLB debut on Saturday. This move, a direct result of Frankie Montas's demotion to the bullpen, signifies a new, more proactive approach from the Mets' front office. While acknowledging the risk of relying on a rookie, the hosts see this as a necessary step to salvage a struggling rotation and maintain their playoff push. They believe McLean's rapid rise through the minors and his promising stuff give the Mets a better chance to win now than the inconsistent and ineffective options they've been using.

Sal and BT dig into the Mets' decision to call up young pitcher Nolan McLean, taking over for the struggling Frankie Montas. They praise the move as a necessary first step, arguing that the team's rotation, a "mess" built by David Stearns, is now forcing a youth movement. They propose a radical overhaul, suggesting that the team should bring up more young arms, like Sproat and Tong, to replace underperforming veterans and give the Mets a real chance at a postseason run. This discussion is set against a backdrop of three random questions: 1) Do you hold it in or ride it out when you have to go to the bathroom during a movie? 2) How long do you wait for someone to respond to an invite before following up? 3) Would you get a hair transplant?

We have breaking news during the show that the Mets are sending Montas to the pen

Evan Roberts dissects a brutal Sunday loss for the Mets, focusing on a series of critical errors and questionable managerial decisions. He highlights Francisco Lindor's disastrous performance, including a crucial error and multiple failures in key offensive situations, and contrast it with the high expectations set by his previous year's performance. The conversation then shifts to the bullpen's collapse, particularly the ineffective outing by Frankie Montas and the ill-advised use of Ryne Stanek in a high-leverage situation. The hosts argue that manager Mendy's strategy of using an opener and then relying on an already-strained bullpen led directly to the loss, proposing a more aggressive alternative using their top relievers. He concludes by lamenting the Mets' inability to score late in games, calling their offense "heartless and gutless."
