The Mets’ season is days away from coming to an end. For the sake of my mental health, it’s probably a good thing it is ending. The roller coaster of the last 90 days — from first place in the NL East to elimination — has me ready for a vacation. It’s been an exhausting season that had so many highs and so many lows. It ends with another sub-.500 season, a new manager, a new general manager and a new president of baseball operations all likely coming this offseason.
To talk about this 2021 season as it approaches the finish, we bring you a new “Amazin’ But True” podcast with former Met Nelson Figueroa and me. We have a good conversation about the season, the front office and his time with the Mets with former GM Omar Minaya.
Amazin’ But True Podcast Opening Segment with Jake & Figgie:
- 2021 METS: Road struggles doomed this team. They were one of the worst teams in baseball on the road. Dom Smith disappeared. J.D. Davis was irrelevant. Michael Conforto underachieved. Francisco Lindor did not live up to the billing. Jeff McNeil was not good. There are lots of questions this offseason and players they will have to move on from.
- NOAH SYNDERGAARD: He looked great in his one inning, but is it too small a sample size? Should the Mets give him the qualifying offer?
