This episode is dedicated to the IL. It is NOT episode 100 since KFC wasn't available to record, but we needed to do something after the panic of this week's 4-game series with the Braves.

We were all over the place with worry from the deGrom start to the Gsellman/Familia injuries to the Stroman hip issue, not to mention the lack of offense that directly stemmed from the Donnie Stevenson social media posts.

It was a rollercoaster week for the Mets that ended up being all-to-do about nothing. We lost some key pieces in the bullpen, but gained some big bats in the lineup. A soul for a soul that's how this team goes. McNeil and Conforto came back and right out of the gate showed everyone what we've been missing.

Such a breath of fresh air to have professional bats all strung together and protection for Lindor who can finally relax and start mashing like we all know he can.

The guys breakdown the deGrom start, attack the Lindorks for their unfair treatment of our best pitching coach, discuss the lineup potential with all this depth and look ahead to a schedule that will take every bit of the squad to make it through.

We're gonna need some guys to step up in a big way if we want to make it to the all-star break still in first place, but this is where contenders are born- forged by fire and the flames of a July hell.

The team won't have another off day until July 12th, but we gotta believe that we're up for the challenge since we've already taken everything this season has thrown at us!You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
