On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo take stock of the Mets offense, bullpen, and the fate of the season. The guys recap a week where the offense got better, the bullpen got worse, and the Mets continued to barely tread water. Connor and Joe discuss the underperformance of veterans, how the Mets need a strong June to convince the front office not to sell everything in July, the woes of the bullpen, a huge opportunity for Mark Vientos moving forward, and the hopes tied to the return of Francisco Alvarez. The show then does a Mailbag version of Down on the Farm, with questions answered about Mets minor league affiliates in cold-weather locations, pitching prospects Mike Vasil and Dom Hamel, plus lesser-known names Stanley Consuegra and Jack Wenninger. Later, Connor and Joe do another round of bets on The Scoreboard before opening a regular Mailbag to tackle questions about unlucky hitters and what a post trade deadline Mets lineup could look like.
