Little Mets'd Up Matinee while Marc is on the road! The Mets played a....weird series against the Phillies this weekend and we break down all four games. Marc thinks Taijuan Walker should be an All-Star and James explains how David Peterson has taken a step in the right direction. Next, we learned that Jacob deGrom is in fact a human being after all and that the Mets can win a close game without getting a true hit. Hits remain on the mind and we do everything we can to figure out just why this team can't break through offensively. The show closes with a preview for the week ahead and a general overview of where this team is at! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
