Show notes
On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo recap a terrible week for the Mets against the Braves and Phillies, while looking for light at the other end of the tunnel at Citi Field. First up, the guys go through the team’s problems, including shaky starting pitching, lack of DH production, the revolving door at third base, the center field issue, and inconsistent scoring overall. Later, Connor and Joe cover the Farm in all directions, including those moving down – Francisco Alvarez and Luisangel Acuna – and those moving up – Jacob Reimer, Carson Benge, and Colin Houck. The show then wraps up by giving away Mets Pod hats, and checking the Mailbag for questions answered about the current roster and the possibility of trading for Eugenio Suarez.
