Journalist Will Bardenwerper joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his new book, Homestand: Small Town Baseball and the Fight for the Soul of America, which explores the consequences of Major League Baseball cutting 40 affiliated minor league teams, each one only as expensive as an average Major League salary. He explains how the accessibility and affordability of minor league baseball has made it a unique gathering point for working-class communities like the one in Batavia, New York, where Bardenwerper followed the local team, the Muckdogs, for a season. He celebrates the traditions and resilience of the Muckdogs fans and owners, who revived the team after it was eliminated as a minor league franchise. He also reads from Homestand.

The New York Mets return home battered and bewildered after one of the ugliest stretches in franchise history. They've lost 15 of their last 18 games and just endured a humiliating sweep in Pittsburgh, where they were outscored 30-4 across three games—including a 12-1 blowout the day after a players-only meeting. It's July 1st—Bobby Bonilla Day—when the Mets famously cut that $1.19 million check yet again, symbolizing a franchise haunted by past decisions while the present crumbles around them. As the Mets open a critical 6-game homestand—three against the surging Milwaukee Brewers and three against the rival Yankees—questions abound. Has the team tuned out Carlos Mendoza? Will David Stearns pull the plug and become a deadline seller? Can the rotation rebound after getting lit up in Pittsburgh? And is there any hope left for this season? We'll dig deep into: Fallout from the Pirates sweep and what the players-only meeting achieved (if anything) Why Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor, and Jeff McNeil are under the microscope The rotation woes and overworkBullpen How the Brewers and Yankees match up—and why this homestand could define the Mets' season A moment to reflect on Bobby Bonilla Day: the gift that keeps on giving Plus, updates from around MLB and what the latest rumors mean for the Mets' trade deadline plans.
