NEW Bleav In #Mets PODCAST w/ @jfmckessy.bsky.social: - Recapping Series W's against the Dodgers & White Sox (and what could have been) - Griffin Canning's struggles - Torrens/Alvarez & Baty/Vientos positional battles LISTEN: open.spotify.com/episode/67kS... WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwci...

Unfortunately, #Mets deserve to lose this one when they hold the Dodgers to ZERO in the 10th, 11th and 12th and don't score themselves.

Game 50 #Mets thoughts: - New lineup - Marte shouldn't be hitting 2nd - BRETT BATY - Those first 4 innings from Megill were electric - Brazoban might be the Mets best reliever - Asking Acuna to bunt was stupid - The #Knicks collapse is worse than anything the Mets have done in the last week

Game 49 #Mets thoughts: - OOF - How do they not take advantage of Buehler getting tossed? - Holmes 5 HR may be the start of something concerning - The at-bats were just lifeless - While I worry about doing too much, I wonder if we start to see lineup tinkering

I mean, after Buehler gets tossed, you kinda HAVE to win this game now. #Mets

That Nimmo play is one of those plays we look back on if the #Mets start to get hot in this game.

Game 48 #Mets Thoughts: - That was the best nine the Mets have offensively, and they just can't get the big hit - The Soto discourse is already tiresome - Senga battled to give the team a chance - Alonso is just thinking too much right now - Team just isn't crisp rn (we FORGOT the Pitch Com!?)

Game 47 #Mets thoughts: - This team has ZERO margin for error right now - Baty should probably be the 3B with Vientos at DH - Just hate to lose this series when Judge is quiet by his standards - Pete has started to struggle - Team does have the right medicine to fix this: Senga going tomorrow

Game 46 #Mets Thoughts: - A gritty, team win - This bullpen continues to be awesome - Is Edwin Diaz, back? - Defense wins championships - These games have been a lot of fun, energy wise - Offense still is a worry

Game 45 #Mets Thoughts: - I'm good on the Tylor Megill Experience - I loved Soto's composure tonight - Give me all the games with this type of energy - Bats have been cold since the Cubs series - Good to force NYY to use Weaver in the 9th - It might be time to have a Marte conversation

NEW Bleav In #Mets POD Breaking down the two series against NL Central foes. Tylor Megill's May struggles. And previewing the Yankees series. LISTEN: open.spotify.com/episode/02gA...

Game 44 #Mets Thoughts: - Another rain start for Clay Holmes - He wasn't sharp tonight (2 HR's) - Not sharp across the board (Azocar caught at 1B, Pete trying to stretch a 2B) - Hey, good idea to use this for CF reps for Acuna - For all the scrappy the last two days, none left in the tank tonight

Couple takeaways from David Stearns meeting with the #Mets media: - Not surprising that he mentioned defense as an area of improvement - Continues to downplay the timetable on Mauricio - Really good answer about the noise that at-bats w/RISP can be on a day-to-day basis

It's just a leaked version that hasn't been confirmed, but the NFL putting Jets/Steelers Week 1 is some great soap opera/WWE booking there.

Game 43 #Mets Thoughts: - The Ghost Fork, that is all - Brandon Nimmo, defensive wizard in LF - A very weird Lindor night - BRETT BATY IS ON FIRE - Why did Vientos keep playing with that glove? - Yup, Ryne Stanek is BACK - The Mets win two straight scrappy games, love to see it

Game 42 #Mets Thoughts: - David Peterson didn't have the blowup inning - Paul Skenes wasn't at his best, and was still difficult to crack - Saw Lindor/Soto/Alonso magic there in the 9th; that was fun - Won with the B-level relievers (and Nunez in the 8th!) - Just a scrappy win

This is why it was foolish to freak out over Baty sitting yesterday. When the Mets have a GB pitcher on the mound, it's going to open up pathways for Vientos/McNeil/Baty/Acuna to ALL play.

Imagine doubting David Stearns.

Glenn always made the most season to me for the #Jets. 1) Former player w/ team 2) Culture guy 3) Was everything the fans thought they wanted with a Rex return Just made too much sense.

Yeah, this does feel a little spoiled child take after the #Mets signed Juan Soto. It just feels like they still have too many ? on their roster for a team that was two wins away from the WS last year.

Not calling that timeout after hitting the first play wasted their ability to have two more plays at the end. Just awful clock management.

I need today's performance to be the official end of the 'Bring Aaron Rodgers back' campaign. #Jets

"Serious gap" between Alonso and the #Mets really just means that the Mets have played this market perfectly and Pete doesn't want to take a deal that's less than the extension they offer previously. As in, nothing new.

Latest BLEAV in #Mets pod with myself and @jfmckessy.bsky.social We cover: - OUR ACE COMING BACK - Pete Alonso's shrinking (and maybe non-existent market) - Walker Buehler signing with the #RedSox LISTEN: open.spotify.com/episode/2PDl...

Can you imagine if the #Mets steal Soto and then Crochet away from the Yankees in a matter of a few days?

Back to regularly scheduled programming: The latest edition of the Bleav in #Mets podcast with @jfmckessy.bsky.social and myself. - Clay Holmes is a part of the Mets rotation - What is next after signing Juan Soto? open.spotify.com/episode/4iYw...

Please, tell me more about how this wouldn't be worth it. #Mets

🚨EMERGENCY EDITION OF THE POD🚨 JUAN SOTO IS A FREAKIN NEW YORK MET @jfmckessy and I attempt to speak full sentences and react to the #Mets landing Juan Soto open.spotify.com/episode/7eRa...

I'm good with targeting Buehler and wanting a Manaea reunion. The others....I'll pass. There are better options out there.

I think I would have preferred the #Mets to try this out with Jeff Hoffman over Holmes, but I can't blame them for attempting this. Still need a true, frontline starter (maybe two) though.

What does an IDEAL Mets offseason look like? That’s what @crschube.bsky.social and I discussed in the latest episode of Bleav in Mets. And yes, we both included Juan Soto: youtu.be/F13tqZ-Z4Cs?...

But also, $22m AAV for Severino tells me we've got to adjust what we think this market looks like. Manaea, Fried, Burnes all going to get close to if not pass $30m AAV.

Good for Sevy. Played SUCH an important role on this team last year. Also good on the A's for spending money.

I've defended a lot of what Stearns has done and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. But not sure I see why Montas at a $17m AAV was the play.

People are really showing that they don't understand how these deferrals actually work.

I'm going to give the 2024 Classic a chance to get me back into AEW, but that Blue League isn't inspiring confidence.

I'm already starting to feel the way I felt back in 2021 in the lead up to the Jets taking Zach Wilson. This time, I'm dreaming of the Jets ending up with Cameron Ward.

A quick *checks notes* "Yeah, Juan Soto is a GREAT baseball player"

Also, like I said the other day, there's a real decent chance you don't actually pay out the bazillion dollars because of opt-outs. If you can get Juan Soto for a four year window until he's 30 to try and win, you put however many zeroes are needed on the check.

This cycle happens for me like once every three months.

This is somewhat surprising. I thought Sevy was a lock to take that deal. Frees up some resources, opens up another hole in the rotation. Still think that Manaea is the more likely candidate to come back.

Can we break this down on the next pod, @jfmckessy.bsky.social ?

Is it cool to be a Cam Ward QB1 truther on this platform?

Oh it's an experience alright.

There's a lot being made of how much the final number is on Juan Soto's contract, whoever offers it. And I'm not really sure how much it's going to matter. The chances that Soto sees this next deal all the way through, WITHOUT opting-out would be a low probability outcome.
