The Mets can wrap up the NLDS this week at Citi Field. Although the narrative to date has been “as Edwin Diaz goes, so do the Mets,” the real question going into Tuesday is whether the Mets are putting Diaz in a good situation to succeed. Can Carlos Mendoza return Diaz to the ninth inning and still get the ball to him with a lead? Who will navigate the gnarly top-of-the-order of Schwarber, Turner, and Harper? Listen to that and more on the latest edition of the show.

First Place Problems 54:00

hace 10 hours54:00

54:00

The Mets are on a 108-win pace, but many facets of the club are not working properly. The offense hasn’t clicked yet, the starters don’t go very long, and Edwin Diaz is a mess. Why is there a contingent of unfulfilled fans? Mike discusses what concerns are real and which ones are just small sample outliers. Regardless, complaining about a club with a .667 winning percentage truly falls under the term “first-place problems.” Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy…

The Mets have won six of nine, and despite it being way too early, this is the first chance to react to some of the first-week trends we have seen. What are some of the areas that have surprised us? What is working? Is Pete Alonso’s 150+ RBI pace sustainable? Is Juan Soto a bust? What about the starting pitching? Has the clock struck midnight for Brett Baty? Is the Mets offense a problem?

Time for the System to Breakout 38:07

38:07

We all are ready for spring training to end, but MLB gave us a rare treat for this time of the year with the Mets-Nationals Spring Breakout game. Jonah Tong, Ryan Clifford, and Carson Benge teased what they could be, but the real question is what the Mets system will produce in 2025 and beyond. Still ranked outside the Top-10 in the game, is David Stearns prepared to take this to the next level this year? Mike talks about the importance of this. He also discusses where the Opening Day roster stands with the injuries to Manaea, McNeil, Montas, and Alvarez. Hear about how a good problem arose this spring and one the Mets haven’t had in quite some time. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy…

Andrew Tredinnick of The Record joins Mike Silva to discuss the Francisco Alvarez injury, Brett Baty's emergence, Juan Soto’s acclimation to the team, and the positive culture that has been promoted.

Dare to Dream 56:19

The Mets have lost key members of their starting rotation this spring, but have the performances of the top prospects and some lesser-known names changed the perception of how competitive this group can be? Listen to Mike’s thoughts on who is impressing in camp and his early prediction on what thirteen arms will come north with the club. Brett Baty is having a breakout spring. Is he a candidate for the annual “Darren Reed Award,” or does he have a legitimate shot at a roster spot? Is Baty also an option for the starting lineup, considering Starling Marte may not be ready for the season? Hear Mike discuss this and other positional options to round out the roster.

Why Don't the Fans Show Up to Citi Field? 40:53

Did Steve Cohen call out Mets fans for their lack of support? After his comments about Citi Field attendance, many on social media defended their decision to stay away from the ballpark. The debate is nuanced, and there are multiple reasons why the team is in the bottom half of the league in attendance. Mike revisits an old topic discussed on the show before but sees reason for hope, unlike prior seasons when the team struggled at the gate.

OMG What's Left of the Mets Hot Stove? 53:17

With the offseason ending and the Super Bowl in our sights, is there anything left to the Mets hot stove? Mike Silva talks about how impactful Pete Alonso’s potential return will be to the Mets offense using Talkin’ Mets “fun with numbers” and various projection systems. Despite popular opinion, Nick Madrigal didn’t end Jose Iglesias' tenure in New York, but rather a popular prospect might have. Finally, should the Mets do what it takes to bring Dylan Cease to New York? The answer is not as easy as it appears on the surface.
