Can the Mets punch their ticket into the tournament, and grab a wild card spot?
Description
On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are talking about a playoff push for the Mets, as September heads for the home stretch. First up, Connor and Joe discuss the madness surrounding a Starling Marte walk-off, take a moment to appreciate the race the Mets are in, and do a deep dive on the health status of Francisco Lindor. Later, the guys look ahead to games against the Nationals and Phillies, go Up From The Farm to talk about the big league arrival of Luisangel Acuna, and then go Down on the Farm to track the Triple A debut of top prospect Jett Williams to close out his late-in-the-season return from wrist surgery. Finally, the show checks The Scoreboard and dumps out the Mailbag to answer questions about Edwin Diaz dealing with the pitch clock, success for Carlos Mendoza, and the remaining schedule for all the NL Wild Card contenders.
