What a crappy weekend for Mets baseball. Friday ends after 5 innings, no game Saturday, maybe no game Sunday and then IL stints and call downs take place. Evan gets into all that and more on this rain filled episode. For comments, questions, or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com

Andrew on Long Island made a call to WFAN before the season started with many comments and criticisms over the pitch clock.

Evan continues the discussion over the pitch clock with Andrew on Long Island. Is there any chance that at the end of this year Andrew is "Happy" with the pitch clock? For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com

The Nationals take the series over the Mets as the bats were kept silent for two out of three games. It was almost a clean sweep until Pete Alonso did his thing. If they didn't find a way to be victorious Mets fans may have started to panic. Instead we get a glimpse of joy before we take on the Atlanta Braves in a 4 game series coming up.

The Mets salvage the last game of the series verse the Nationals. The bats came alive for the final but every thing else seem to take a step back. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com

The Mets looked flat and sloppy for most of the series verse the Nationals. Evan, doesn't want to make an excuse but does admit the team looks like they're in a mini slide returning from their trip. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com

The offense looked terrible for the first two games of this Nationals series. One of the bigger issues is he keeps sitting verse left handers. The way the rest of the team is hitting it's time for Buck to change old habits and let Brett play. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com

The Mets wrap up their 10 game road trip with a 7-3 record. Saturday and Sunday did not go as planed with Peterson and Megill struggling and doing it early. Some bright notes, the catcher spot registered a home run and the bullpen looks great. Those however were the very limited bright spots in the last two games in San Francisco.
