Brian and Roger said goodbye to Adam Rubin and Ty Kelly and discussed the reunions of Jerry Blevins and Fernando Salas to the team, wondering if the two will bring the Mets to glory or nah. After Roger successfully proved in one important way how Jay Bruce is objectively better than Giancarlo Stanton, Brian broke down what the new ZiPS projections from Dan Szymborski say about the Mets chances in 2017.
Then in the main event, Joe DeMayo of St. Lucie to Flushing battled Brian in the #StateoftheMets debate. The two argued over how well the Mets will do this season, if the payroll is big enough, what to expect from David Wright, if the Nationals are a threat to Mets' way of living, what to do with a problem like Jay Bruce, what one aspect of the franchise they would change if they could, and more if you could believe it. Then Brian and Roger chatted with DeMayo about Mets prospects of the past, including Dilson Herrera, because Brian has got to stay on brand, as well as Reese Havens and Fernando "F-Mart" Martinez, because the boys love to pander to the masses.
