Can the Mets Count on Freddy Peralta to Pitch Like an Ace?
from Evan & Tiki
The Mets gave their fans a thrilling Subway Series moment, but the bigger question is whether it can actually become the start of something meaningful. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber look past the emotion of beating the Yankees and focus on the path ahead, from getting back to .500 to proving this team can stay relevant into the summer. The guys also examine why the Mets still need cleaner baseball despite winning five of six, including defensive mistakes, pitching concerns, and Freddy Peralta’s inability to work deep into games. The conversation closes with a wider look at how quickly baseball expectations can shift and why even the Dodgers’ dominance does not make the season feel decided.
