On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, with Joe DeMayo out this week, Connor Rogers calls SNY Mets reporter Steve Gelbs in from the bullpen as a guest co-host! Connor and Steve recap an up and down week for the Mets, as the starters remain strong, the bullpen deals with injuries, and Pete Alonso continues to crush baseballs.  The guys also discuss the emergence of Luisangel Acuna, the evolution of Brandon Nimmo, and the big league debut of pitching prospect Blade Tidwell.  Then the show wraps with a dive into the Mailbag to answer questions about finding new left-handed relievers, the whereabouts of the famous Steve Gelbs Vikings jersey, Steve’s best Citi Field memory, and getting recognized in weird places.
