Hour 3: Pete's Power Outage: Mets in Crisis!

Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata

BT and Sal passionately dissect the Mets' recent struggles, particularly focusing on Pete Alonso's alarming slump, which they attribute as a major factor in the team's abysmal 1-9 record. Sal, in particular, highlights Alonso's poor stats over the last ten games, including 16 strikeouts, two extra-base hits, and one RBI, and debates with callers about whether Alonso's hot start to the season was sustainable compared to Juan Soto's more consistent production. They express frustration with the Mets' overall lack of "juice" and urgency, suggesting the team needs to make proactive moves to improve the lineup's floor rather than waiting for the trade deadline, all while fending off listeners who defend Alonso or question their critical stance.
