Mets have meaning in September, as the Wild Card race will now get completely wild

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are ready for a wild, wild card race during a meaningful Mets September. Leading off, Connor and Joe recap the previous week’s adventures through Arizona, Chicago, and the return trip home – including heroics from Francisco Lindor, drama from Edwin Diaz, and big swings in big wins. Later, the guys look ahead to the September stretch run, examine the wild card contenders, play a fun game of “Would You Rather,” plus go Down on The Farm to check on prospects Drew Gilbert and Luisangel Acuna at Triple-A Syracuse. The show wraps by opening the Mailbag to answer questions about the last series against the Braves in late September, the status of Tyler Zuber, and the reasons why Phil Maton has been so effective out of the bullpen.
