Episode Notes

New York Mets scramble for answers as pitching depth is tested following Zack Thornton's tough debut and Clay Holmes’ injury.  

With Jonah Tong and Sean Manaea in the mix for rotation spots, the Mets must decide—can internal options keep their season on track, or is a bigger shakeup on the horizon?

Host Ryan Finkelstein reviews the Mets’ back-to-back losses to the Washington Nationals, analyzing Zack Thornton’s start, Craig Kimbrel’s bullpen workload, and the latest on David Peterson and A.J. Minter.  

Discussion centers on Jonathan Pintaro, the unpredictability of Jonah Tong, and whether the Mets can stabilize their rotation ahead of key games against the Miami Marlins.  

Can this roster weather the storm without their ace, or is a critical turning point looming for the Mets’ postseason hopes?
