About this listen

 Another statement series at Citi Field. The Mets take two of three from the first-place Cubs, powered by Brandon Nimmo's Mother's Day blast, Brett Baty's two-homer night, and dominant outings from Griffin Canning and Clay Holmes. We break down the Mets' elite two-strike hitting, rising young core, and whether this is now the deepest lineup in baseball. Plus: a can't-miss full sit-down with Brandon Nimmo on his 9-RBI game, locker room vibes, Pete Alonso’s evolution, Acuña’s spark, and the gorilla debate that’s taken over the clubhouse. 🎧 Rate & review on Apple & Spotify to hear your review read on-air! 00:00 - Rate & Review + Brandon Nimmo Interview Tease00:17 - Mets Handle Cubs, Memorial Day Postseason Benchmark01:07 - Lindor’s Leadoff Power & The One-Run Game Trend02:14 - Mets Blowouts vs. Close Losses: What It Tells Us03:01 - Game 1 Dominance & Citi Field Power Surge04:00 - Juan Soto's 430-Foot Shot Heard Across Shea Bridge05:06 - Baty & Vientos: The Core Is Arriving06:24 - How Brett Baty Earned His Shot (And Delivered)07:12 - Parallels to Vientos’ 2024 Breakout08:32 - Baty’s Top-6 Bat Speed: Elite Company10:06 - Baty’s Opposite Field Bomb & Line Drive Clinic11:41 - The Baby Mets Lineup Finally Took the Field13:11 - Mets Historic Two-Strike Hitting vs Cubs14:01 - “Where’s the Room?” Good Team Problems14:35 - Griffin Canning’s Birthday Gem & Rotation Depth24:22 - Mets Pitching Pipeline Heating Up27:41 - Top 5 Moments vs Cubs Presented by PC Richard & Son28:19 - #5: Brett Baty’s Two-Homer Game28:40 - #4: Soto’s Citi Field Nuke28:59 - #3: Lindor’s Leadoff Bomb29:20 - #2: Lindor’s 8th-Inning Go-Ahead Homer30:03 - #1: Nimmo’s Mother’s Day Blast31:05 - Brandon Nimmo Interview Starts31:06 - What Citi Field’s Sellouts Mean to the Team32:55 - 9 RBI Game in DC35:10 - How Nimmo Stays Positive Through Slumps36:56 - This Lineup vs Last Year’s: Depth + Grit39:40 - Pete Alonso’s Discipline & “Eye Training”41:15 - Why Acuña Feels Like Jose Reyes 2.043:50 - Inside the Clubhouse Culture & Mentality46:30 - Why Brandon Might Be a Future Broadcaster48:42 - Mets Doing “All the Little Things” Right52:33 - The 100 Men vs 1 Gorilla Debate 🦍54:40 - First Mother’s Day as a Dad ❤️56:38 - How the Mets Process Tough Losses58:05 - Baseball Emotion is GOOD Learn more about your ad choices.
