Episode Details

Pete Alonso’s absence is becoming impossible for the Mets to ignore. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber unload on the disastrous production replacing Alonso, with Jorge Polanco heading back to the injured list and Ronny Mauricio still stuck in the minors. Evan argues that any long-term benefit from avoiding Alonso’s contract eventually has to make up for how badly the decision has hurt this season. The conversation also turns to the Yankees, where Luis Gil could emerge as a high-leverage bullpen weapon, George Lombard Jr.’s defense is already making a massive impact, and Paul Goldschmidt’s fading production has pushed him toward a bench role.
