The Mets took the Subway Series by storm! Vito Calise and Jonathan Baron sit down with manager Carlos Mendoza to dive deep into the big lineup changes that sparked the offense, including Brandon Nimmo’s grand slams and Pete Alonso’s pursuit of Darryl Strawberry’s home run record.
We break down the most electric moments of the series—Juan Soto’s bombs, Jeff McNeil’s heroics, and the Mets bullpen stepping up. Plus, what makes this team such a power threat heading into the second half, and why Mendoza has quickly earned the clubhouse’s trust.
Don’t miss our talk about the Home Run Derby, All-Star Game, and which young Mets prospects are making waves.

What Mets Prospects Can Be 2025 Difference Makers?!
The Mets are taking hit after hit—literally. Big injuries have knocked out key arms but there’s real reason to believe help is on the way.
In this episode, Vito and Jon go live from PC Richard & Son with a full house of Mets fans to talk through it all: the brutal injury to Griffin Canning, the status of Senga and Manaea, and why the bullpen has been running on fumes.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. The guys highlight the wave of exciting prospects who could be on the brink of making a real impact—from Brandon Sproat throwing gas in Triple-A (with Francisco Alvarez behind the plate), to Nolan McLean’s rapid rise, and the names you probably don’t know yet—like Anthony Nunez, Ryan Lambert, and Dillon Ross—who might end up in Queens sooner than anyone expected.
They also dig into why the offense is bound to break out (the Mets have the best hard-hit rate in baseball), what the front office could do at the trade deadline, and which minor league standouts like Jett Williams and A.J. Ewing are setting themselves up to be part of the next great Mets core.
