Spring Training is officially over, and we are just two days away from Opening Day. On this week’s episode of The Put it in the Books Show, the full crew is back together as Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe (still lurking behind the wall) get ready for the season to begin.With Opening Day around the corner, the guys dive into the starting rotation. Who’s locked in, who still has something to prove, and what could go right or wrong as the season gets underway?There’s also some concern with Edwin Díaz’s velocity being down this spring. Should Mets fans be worried, or is this just a typical slow ramp-up for a closer? The crew debates what this means for the bullpen and if there’s anything to read into before the season starts.And with the season about to begin, it’s time for bold predictions for 2025—both for the Mets and across the league. Who’s winning divisions? Who’s taking home hardware? And most importantly, are the Mets set up to make a deep October run?It’s also good vibes all around, with the Mets landing on the cover of Sports Illustrated and Citi Field winning Best Ballpark Food for the third straight year. The food is elite, the excitement is high, and the countdown to Opening Day is almost over.Tune in as the guys break it all down with the usual mix of insight, humor, and maybe even a rare Producer Joe hot take. Let’s put it in the books!
