[@adriangaushausindahaus20]

As somebody who watched Rico Bronga play... It just cracks me up to listen to this podcast

[@charliec775]

Omg a Ricos on a off night ! Its gotta be a dream!!!

[@michaeldepinto3562]

2 out of 3 in Atlanta, get it done. LGM 🔥

[@bobbenbrown123]

Got get rid of the ghosts 👻 of yesteryears past

[@ricardojordanjordan2216]

Listening every night from Brazil 🇧🇷 and I’m not even a fan of any New York teams but like Evan a lot

[@jimwerther]

Start rooting for the Mets, quick...

[@AnthonySalinovic]

I listened the podcast as I was leaving Citi field last night 🎉😊

[@johncummings5350]

If Lindor has any back pain in Tuesday I would NOT play him. Acuna has filled in well and it gives Lindor more rest. If Acuna struggles Tuesday and the Mets lose.....then I would consider letting Lindor play on Wednesday. The problem is that if he comes back too soon he very well may aggravate the injury and keep him unavailable for the playoffs. They SHOULD be able to lock up a playoff spot without Lindor in the lineup.

[@MadisonGman]

THIS. Acuna is on fire, so why risk it? plus he'll want to show out against his brother and his brother's team

[@jayjayfrmstatefarm9363]

2 things that scare me: •Alvarez not ever being able to block a ball in the dirt, giving free bases •teams running at will on bullpen & Alvarez

[@anthonyreyes8868]

Putting catchers on one knee really hinders their blocking ability and Alvarez isn’t the most mobile guy to begin with

[@Tony.1974]

Here’s another Sevy in big spot not good

[@mpound97]

The first one, well he has to work on that. The second one, simple. Don't allow any walks and keep guys, if they get on, honest.

[@LK3185.]

Good stuff. Only worry with Edwin is the stolen bases but that is mitigated if he doesn't walk hitters. Needs to clean that up.. but he's still the Mets best guy to go to

[@miguel.ledesmaledesma1790]

I am an absolute nervous wreck 😰 during Mets games but it’s mostly contained on the inside. Almost like a seasoned manager. I tend to only celebrate 🎉 once the victory is literally complete because of the ingrained pessimism that I and many Mets fans tend to have about our team and because winning is all that matters anyway. I tend to be more tense when we are on the field since pitching can keep us in the game or lose the game for us just by not giving us a chance to win. May GOD help us. LGM❤.

[@MadisonGman]

this is by far the best Mets podcast. there are lots of them, but Evan probably knows the Mets as good as Gary and Howie. I have a request for Carlos Mendoza.....please let Alvarez catch all three of these games in ATL. we don't need to see Luis Torrens unless it's an emergency

[@runrin_]

not mentioning 880/howie rose as a broadcast alternative during the playoffs bummed me out. howie is a legend and his pbp is excellent. keith raad, while not as amazing as wayhe randazzo, is still wonderful.

[@pingamalinga]

Howie is the definition of legend. Love Howie. That guy knows Mets baseball like no one else. Its uncanny what that man has is in head regarding The Mets.

[@johncummings5350]

Looking back on that throw to third base from Alvarez.....I kind of thought about something afterwards.....he threw it right to the bag....why wasn't Vientos at the bag to catch that throw??? I'm wondering if Vientos was more to blame for that ball bouncing off the bag ....if he's on the third base bag that would have been a good throw.

[@tedlicciardello7673]

Ball off the top of the wall was 1973.

[@CarmineMassaro-zr4bc]

Hey Rico, the ball off the wall was in 73, not 69!!

[@bob88pct]

Talk about Biden Brain. Evan called the Phillies, the Atlanta Braves. 😂

[@bobbenbrown123]

Yeah I noticed that 😁🤣🤣

[@KurtPratt-r4n]

Mets need to get rid of the curse fr beat braces please

[@dustinlamberta8009]

The thumbnail looks like Evan interviewing Evan

[@jimwerther]

Ball on the Wall is 1973! Not 1969! Oh, Evan....I thought you were a Met fan...

[@gordonstarship]

I would be very much in favor of the watch party idea. It would help us all deal with national broadcasts.

[@runrin_]

with lindor, it seems to me that you are balancing rustiness and health. you want him to be as effective as possible during the playoffs, and finding the sweet spot where you maximize health and rust is an impossible challenge with a lot of luck involved

[@mpound97]

It would be the Mets to have steamrolled the competition to get into the wild card race only for our best player to get hurt at the time we needed him most...smh. Thankfully, and luckily, Acuña has stepped in to take off some of that pressure, Nimmo is starting to pick it back up, Alvarez has got it going. We have a deep lineup even without Lindor and McNeil but we need Frankie back.

[@Panadorian]

With JD struggling maybe lindor can come in as DH ? The bats there and Acuna can stay at short where he’s been pretty good.

[@brucekeller5259]

Get rid of the 30 second countdown

[@jimwerther]

Mets will win 1 of in ATL with one rainout.

[@MikeLaz2117]

Please do a alternate broadcast for playoffs if we make it

[@russellblake6471]

I know this may be thinking outside of the box, but why not move the Thursday game to a neutral site like Tampa Bay or Baltimore, since both teams are on the road this week and their stadiums (to my knowledge) are available. Now if the Mets win the first two games of the series, it makes that third game potentially less important, unless Arizona continues to lose and the Braves are still in the hunt for the third slot come this weekend. Any thoughts?

[@pingamalinga]

I remember Jay Payton running on Andruw Jones. 😂

[@MadisonGman]

i hate playing in Atlanta. the weather ALWAYS fucks with us there. we are absolutely going to have to endure a Monday game that could be essentially a one game playoff. maximum fucking agita, that's how it goes for us. that being said, I think the D-backs are going to blow it and it'll be the Mets and Braves 5-6 and that game could wind up being for playoff position

[@3912James]

I'm all for the double header Wednesday instead of possibly be forced to play a makeup game in Atlanta.

[@jimwerther]

Or early game Thursday?

[@3912James]

@@jimwerther Whatever it takes. I don't want the Mets to play the Braves on Monday.

[@jimwerther]

@@3912James They'll probably have to, even in Evan's scenario where the game doesn't matter to the Mets. In which case they make Eddy Alvarez the SP.

[@3912James]

@@jimwerther Mike Piazza and Yoenis Cespedes (when healthy) spoiled me. I need for Alonso to carry this team from here on out.....because right now he's not worth crazy money/10 year extension (although I like the guy).

[@jimwerther]

@@3912James Three guys I never liked: Piazza, Cespedes and Alonso. I dearly hope Alonso leaves after the year.

[@Tony.1974]

Get ready for Braves to 🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹

[@mpound97]

We gotta break the Braves curse and do some damage in the playoffs. No one takes our Mets seriously and I'm getting sick and tired of these other cornball fanbases talking shit. LET'S GO METS!!!

[@tonyd1308]

That's what I don't like about Alvarez that he's always throwing all over the place without getting anybody out and on top of that making bad throws.

[@runrin_]

i would consider DHing lindor for a bit if its less painful for him than fielding. jd martinez isnt giving you anything right now.

[@matthewbodner8805]

If it wouldn’t have hit the bag Vientos could have easily blocked it

[@33moneyball]

It’s baseball…one player simply doesn’t matter that much in small samples…the examples are endless. Some guy you’ve never heard of will hit .400 with 3 bombs while a HOFer will hit .130 with 19 K’s. Hopefully Lindor is ready to go but they can accomplish anything with or without him. He’s not Patrick Mahomes or Nikola Jokic. He’s one guy in a lineup.

[@33moneyball]

I’m taking 100% Acuna over hurt Lindor….he’s not some magisterial power bat like Ohtani or Judge. His game depends on the ability to impact defensively, on the bases, and at the plate. He’s not a physically imposing player.

[@brucekeller5259]

Too much Evan Roberts on the air

[@L1KECLOCKWORK]

Evan looks high as shit here. I’m sure he’s probably not but man get some sleep homie.

[@ArvinGopie-pb8jd]

Hurricane mets win 2out3 at Atlanta Braves less walk less mistakes just score runs first every inng 1through 9 no brain farts by Mindy let go bring back playoffs games at city field let go mets not even Zach wheeler could bulldog through da mets lineup mets own the National east 1 game in front of AZ answer my prayers

[@stevenmincin263]

nobody learns. pete is a thumper, not a clean up hitter. always been. mets just never had a real clean up hitter last 6 years. pete MUST bat 6th even 7th. sorry. love him. but he's just a low average thumper.

[@roqkie3530]

Do the watch party like barstool does, that would be great
