Should he have stayed or should he have been told to go? Jeff discusses the decision to retain Carlos Mendoza with Greg Prince, who sorts through the clashing rationales regarding the manager of the Mets continuing to steer a ship that essentially sank in the second half. The fellas also try to figure out why the Mets never win as many games in the seasons after they’ve gone to the playoffs; whether a case can be made for bidding the Polar Bear adieu; and what their personal best moments at Citi Field were in 2025. There are no Phillies left in the postseason, and there are no Yankees, but there is National League Town.

There are numerous reasons why the Mets didn't make the playoffs. Kevin Chapman joins the show to discuss what happened. Join us! #Mets #LGM
