from Cup of Mets · host Ian Bozsnyak, Matthew DeSantis

The vibes have taken a sharp turn in Queens.After getting swept by the Oakland Athletics, the New York Mets find themselves spiraling with five straight losses, raising serious concerns early in the season. In this episode, we break down what went wrong in the series and why this skid feels more alarming than just a rough patch.We dive into the struggles on the mound, including what's going on with David Peterson and whether Kodai Senga is beginning to show cracks after a strong start. Are these mechanical issues, fatigue, or something deeper?Offensively, the approach has been frustrating to watch — poor situational hitting, lack of adjustments, and continued issues producing with runners in scoring position. We also discuss the recent mental lapses from Francisco Lindor and whether it's just a blip or something worth monitoring.Plus, is the pressure starting to mount on manager Carlos Mendoza? How warm is the seat, and what changes (if any) could be coming if things don’t turn around soon?All that and more as we try to make sense of a frustrating stretch of Mets baseball.Follow on INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE & X: @cupofmetsSubscribe on SPOTIFY, APPLE or wherever you get your favorite podcasts!Download The SeatGeek App!
