Despite the Mets being clearly out of the race, Buck Showalter still has not shown that he will prioritize the development of the Mets rookies by putting them all in the lineup every day.

Host Ryan Finkelstein laments some of Buck's recent comments about his philosophy of managing a losing team down the stretch, in which he feels he owes it to the contending teams to try to still win with veterans over focusing solely on development.

Ryan explains the major flaws in his line of thinking and why the Mets will be better off without Buck moving forward.

Finally, Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander went head-to-head on Wednesday night. Who came out victorious?

The Los Angeles Angels made a drastic move to put six players on waivers on Tuesday, shaking up the rest of Major League Baseball.

Could the Mets get into the fun of the waiver period as a team with priority on the wire to get an extended look at an impending free agent like Lucas Giolito or Harrison Bader?

Host Ryan Finkelstein discusses what is going on around MLB with this crazy waiver period and how it could impact the Mets. Carlos Carrasco is the most likely fallout from this waiver deadline for the Mets, as he could get claimed and go off the Mets books.

Also, Ryan discusses Kevin Parada's promotion to Double-A and whether the Mets should reward Carlos Cortes for his hot stretch in Triple-A with a promotion to the big leagues.
