The New York Mets' season continues to spiral as they suffer another brutal loss, this time to the Seattle Mariners.  

Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the game's key moments, including Francisco Lindor's multi-homer performance and the bullpen's late-game collapse.  

He analyzes the Mets' recent roster moves, questioning the decision to DFA Paul Blackburn while keeping struggling pitchers like Frankie Montas.

Finkelstein discusses the team's ongoing issues, from inconsistent hitting to unreliable pitching, and examines the roles of players, coaches, and front office in the Mets' disappointing season.  

Despite the struggles, he highlights a potential bright spot: top pitching prospect Nolan McLean's upcoming MLB debut.

Get the full scoop on the Mets' latest setback and what McLean's arrival could mean for the team's future – listen now!
