Episode Notes

New York Mets fans voice frustration as David Stearns faces fierce scrutiny for the team’s rocky start. Is Stearns really to blame for the Mets falling 10 games under .500, or do deeper issues persist within the roster and player performances?

Ryan Finkelstein tackles Mets fans biggest complaints, from the offseason trade of Brandon Nimmo for Marcus Semien to the controversial decision not to re-sign Pete Alonso. Key discussion points include the fallout from the 2025 trade deadline, the underwhelming signings of Jorge Polanco and Frankie Montas, and whether injuries to superstars Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor have derailed the season. 

Hear why Ryan Finkelstein believes Stearns deserves both criticism and patience, and find out what’s next as the Mets prepare to face the Washington Nationals with their season hanging in the balance. Will the roster’s "cream rise to the top" or is a major shakeup inevitable?
