A 5-4 road trip should feel like progress, but Mike Silva still isn’t buying fully into the 2026 Mets. Despite strong pitching, improved league parity, and a team hovering in the mix, there’s still something missing — and Mike explains why the “half empty” view of this club hasn’t changed. Plus, in this week’s mailbag, he reacts to Pete Alonso’s Hall of Fame comments and discusses whether MLB’s new rules have really changed offense, or simply changed the way the game looks while the scoring remains historically similar.
