Sal is not mincing words, slamming the Mets' inconsistent offense as the team's most significant hurdle to a successful postseason run. He argues that while many point to the starting rotation as the primary issue, the real problem lies with the team's core hitters—specifically Alonso, Lindor, and Nimmo. According to Sal, these players must perform consistently in high-stakes situations, or the Mets have no chance of advancing in the playoffs. He points to the team's struggles with runners in scoring position as a damning symptom of a deeper, more fundamental flaw in their offensive approach, a flaw that he believes must be fixed if they have any hope of winning it all.
Giant Mess podcast host Neal Lynch dives deep into the best start the New York Mets have seen since the '86 and '88 glory days. Host Neal Lynch brings the laughs and honesty as he breaks down Juan Soto's impact, Pete Alonso's torrid April, and whether this “deep” roster can weather a tidal wave of injuries. Was Clay Holmes' move to the rotation genius or desperation? How did the bullpen go from lights-out to holding on for dear life? Plus, Lindor's walk-off, freak injury to Jose Siri, and classic Mets drama. It's a wild, funny, and heartfelt look at the biggest storylines, stats, and moments that shaped April for Mets fans—and what it all means for the rest of 2025.

BT and Sal dissect the Mets' brutal doubleheader sweep at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles, with a particular focus on the anemic offense from their "Fab Four" of Soto, Alonso, and Lindor, who were largely invisible across both games. The hosts also take aim at Juan Soto's perceived lack of hustle on the basepaths and question manager Carlos Mendoza's bullpen decisions, particularly pulling a dominant David Peterson in Game 1 only for the bullpen to falter, highlighting the ongoing issues with the Mets' depth, especially in their relief corps.
BT and Sal dissect the New York Mets' recent doubleheader sweep at the hands of the Orioles, unleashing a fiery critique on the team's performance. They lambast the lack of hustle from Juan Soto, particularly after a "Fab Four" (Soto, Alonso, Lindor) that failed to produce, hitting only 5 for 27 across both games. The hosts also question manager Carlos Mendoza's bullpen decisions, specifically pulling a strong-performing David Peterson for Ryan Stanek, leading to a crucial two-run home run. Sal emphasizes the Mets' desperate need for another impactful bat given their inconsistent offense, while BT argues the "big three" must lead regardless of other acquisitions, highlighting their poor hitting with runners in scoring position. They also touch on the recent positive changes for the Yankees and the must-watch David Wright documentary, reflecting on his legacy.

In the final segment of the hour, there was a fight on a golf course involving a former NHL enforcer. We talked about how big guys often get challenged when out in public.

Boomer & Gio are out this week so today it's Jerry and Willie Colon. We started with the Subway Series and how the Mets threw out a bunch of no name pitchers to face Max Fried, and it almost worked. If Cody Bellingers doesn't make that amazing catch and then doubles up Lindor at first. It saved the game for sure. Carlos Mendoza was tossed in the ninth yesterday because of the horrendous strike calls. Pete Alonso will not be doing the HR derby as he wants to enjoy the all star festivities.
