What a terrible Sunday of baseball. The Mets smoked the ball all over the field but still couldn’t buy a big hit against the Cardinals. Juan Soto had a home run robbed, Mark Vientos is lost with men on base, and Jesse Winker got hurt. Blade Tidwell’s debut didn’t go as planned either despite some awful luck. Whatever, gotta bounce back in Arizona.

Annoying series. It started great with a rout on Tuesday, but the bats fell cold again and we lost two of three to a solid Diamondbacks team. Juan Soto does look he's turned a corner which is good. That was it though as the rest of the lineup, especially Mark Vientos, couldn't find a big hit. Also, the bullpen is getting hit by injuries and Carlos Mendoza made a few weird decisions. Lastly, shoutout Brandon Waddell because that guy is a dawg.

Special, exclusive Media Marvel episode about the bizarre situation going on right now between Ronald Acuña Jr., Braves' Manager Brian Snitker, Jarred Kelenic, Jeff Francoeur for some reason, and the rest of baseball media after Kelenic didn't run out a fly ball and Acuña sub-tweeted his own manager. Top to bottom crazy story.

SWEEP. Incredible series against the Cardinals. Clean baseball, relatively easy wins, great pitching, clutch hitting, and Citi Field was completely electric. Shout out the fans for packing the house in April and we got great contributions from Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, Kodai Senga, Griffin Canning, Juan Soto and more.

There was an unnecessary firestorm this week after a Juan Soto quote in the New York Post circulated like wild fire and we wanted to give it a standalone Media Marvel because it was truly incomprehensible. Demands of boos, outright negativity, and a lack of any baseball understanding led to this, and we're breaking it all down here.
