Let's get this out of the way: Yes, the Mets spoiled their perfect week at home by telling Brett Baty—the very same who hit a two-run home run off of perennial Cy Young favorite Zach Wheeler, the only reason that the Mets were able to walk off the Phillies and complete the sweep—to get lost back to Syracuse. This decision was reported on David's birthday, which in my opinion was fucking insane. We were having the BEST time!!! The following day, the Mets re-signed noted homophobe Brooks Raley.

Also in this episode, we're talking about whether the Mets are Havana Syndrome-ing visiting teams and which baseball mascots are the scariest. Honestly, talking about Brett Baty for half an hour during every episode started out as a bit but now it's just the show. I'm looking up Amtrak tickets to go see the REAL Mets play in beautiful Upstate New York. The silver lining here is that Baty's extended time in the forgotten Eastern half of the Rust Belt can only improve his knowledge of and insight into the discography of one Bruce Springsteen, perhaps inspiring a change in walk-up song to something more appropriate and less depressing than his current baffling choice of "Glory Days."

One random person on X/Twitter changed their bio to "boycotting the **** until Brett Baty comes back." Could be something.

Let's go Mets! (Said with slightly less sincere feeling than usual—not even Francisco Lindor mentioned Baty's homerun in the Wednesday post-game! What the hell!)

Let's go METS <3
