The Put it in the Books Show S7 E21: Mets in the Wild Card Hunt w/ 17 Games to Go – Ya Gotta Believe

This week on *The Put it in the Books Show*, excitement is at an all-time high for Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and a mysteriously quiet Producer Joe hiding behind the wall as the Mets cling to a 1-game lead over the Braves (or as we like to call them, “Craplanta”) for the last wild card spot. With only 17 games left, things are getting as intense as Farace’s fantasy football drafts, but this time it’s actually about a sport that matters. The next stretch is going to be a battle as the Mets face the Phillies (affectionately nicknamed “the Filthies”) in 7 of the next 10 games, and the team is showing a never-surrender attitude that would make even Keith believe in miracles—or at least in consistent starting pitching. The Mets have won 13 of their last 15 games, and with Lindor making a serious MVP case, this is prime “Ya Gotta Believe” season. With playoff hopes alive and a rocking Citi Field crowd to back them up, the excitement is palpable. Join us as we break down the final sprint toward October, making sure to sprinkle in some dry humor about Rodriguez’s obsession with hitting stats and Producer Joe’s continued role as the most elusive figure in podcasting. It’s an exciting time to be a Mets fan—don’t miss out! #PiitB #Mets
