The Yankees and Mets are both dealing with rough stretches right now, but the feeling around each team couldn’t be more different.
In Episode 31, Alec and Ed break down the recent Yankees slide and why, despite the injuries and tougher stretch of games, it still feels like a normal part of a long baseball season for a legitimate contender. What concerns are actually real, and what’s just baseball over 162?
Then we head to Queens, where the Mets are starting to build an identity nobody wants attached to their team. The offense looks lifeless, the injuries keep piling up, and the overall product on the field has turned into ugly baseball. Is this just a skid… or a deeper issue with how this roster is built?
Two struggling teams.
Two completely different vibes.
