The Put it in the Books Show S8 E7: 34-22, But You’d Think We Were 22-34

Farace is out tonight scouting the next generation of CitiField greatness as his son’s Angels face off against the Mets in a makeup of last week’s washed-out championship. Meanwhile, Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe (behind the wall and definitely not checking TikTok mid-show) are holding it down for another edition of *The Put it in the Books Show*.The Mets are 34-22, just finished a tidy 4-2 homestand after series wins over the Dodgers and the “please-relegate-them” White Sox, but somehow the mood in Metsland still feels like they’re 22-34. Why? Maybe it’s the team hitting like they’re allergic to runners in scoring position.Still, this squad just keeps winning – with lights-out pitching and timely defense doing the heavy lifting while the bats slowly wake up. With some injured arms eyeing returns soon, the guys will debate who gets bumped and whether a six-man rotation might be on the table.Plus: the case for team captain—Lindor, who checks in with every player after each series like he’s taking roll call, Nimmo and his endless energy, or Big Pete and his polar bear presence? You be the judge.And yes, there *might* be some Juan Soto talk… again.Next up: the Mets wrap their homestand with the Rockies before heading west for another seven-game grind against the Dodgers and Rockies. Join us tonight as the crew breaks it all down—with stats, sarcasm, and possibly a few off-the-rails tangents.Let’s put it in the books. #Mets #PiitB
