Jake Brown and Nelson Figueroa open the show talking about Luis Guillorme’s 22-pitch plate appearance for a walk Sunday. They discuss his role, the Mets having a lot of likable players and the strong chemistry. They also talk about David Peterson, the fifth starter spot and if he will get it over Jordan Yamomoto and Joey Lucchesi. They wrap up getting into Miguel Castro’s new pitch and his role in the bullpen. It’s then time for another edition of the Nelson Figueroa Spanish Academy, where Figgie teaches Jake how to say “starting pitcher” and “the bearded magician” in Spanish. Former Mets pitcher, current Mets baseball operations adviser and MLB Network analyst Al Leiter then joins the show. Leiter talks about his son Jack pitching at Vanderbilt, his role with the Mets, pitching in big games, wins for pitchers, potential Francisco Lindor and Michael Conforto contract extensions and expectations for the 2021 Mets.
