The Put it in the Books Show: S7 E9 - Gloves Off, Game On

Prepare for another episode of The Put it in the Books Show, where the Mets’ current form is so confounding it might just make Farace play hooky—again. With Farace's attendance as questionable as a bullpen phone in a rainstorm, Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe (who’s still more phantom than phenom) are ready to dissect another week of Mets mayhem. First up, the "Glove Incident" featuring Jorge Lopez, who’s now a former Met faster than you can say “baseball blooper.” His swift exit was less dignified than a mascot race tripped up by its own oversized shoes. It’s a stark reminder that sometimes, in baseball, you've got to handle more than just curveballs—you've got to manage not becoming the punchline. May was a disaster for the bullpen and the offense, resembling a dance off where everyone forgot the steps. Amid the chaos, Lindor has emerged not only stepping up at the plate but also in the locker room—proving he's more than just slick with a bat but also sharp with a speech. On the hot corner, Vientos gets his shot to be the full-time third baseman, stepping into the role with hopes higher than a pop fly in Citi Field. Will he solidify his spot, or will third base continue to be a game of musical chairs with higher stakes? Join us as we unpack these topics with the dry wit and frank analysis you've come to love—or at least tolerate like a rain delay without a roof. Tune in and find out if Farace shows up or if he’s just another missing Met. #PiitB #Mets
