“Mets Meltdown, Bonilla Day & Crucial Homestand Ahead”
The New York Mets return home battered and bewildered after one of the ugliest stretches in franchise history. They've lost 15 of their last 18 games and just endured a humiliating sweep in Pittsburgh, where they were outscored 30-4 across three games—including a 12-1 blowout the day after a players-only meeting.
It's July 1st—Bobby Bonilla Day—when the Mets famously cut that $1.19 million check yet again, symbolizing a franchise haunted by past decisions while the present crumbles around them.
As the Mets open a critical 6-game homestand—three against the surging Milwaukee Brewers and three against the rival Yankees—questions abound. Has the team tuned out Carlos Mendoza? Will David Stearns pull the plug and become a deadline seller? Can the rotation rebound after getting lit up in Pittsburgh? And is there any hope left for this season?
We'll dig deep into:
Fallout from the Pirates sweep and what the players-only meeting achieved (if anything)
Why Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor, and Jeff McNeil are under the microscope
The rotation woes and overworkBullpen
How the Brewers and Yankees match up—and why this homestand could define the Mets' season
A moment to reflect on Bobby Bonilla Day: the gift that keeps on giving
Plus, updates from around MLB and what the latest rumors mean for the Mets' trade deadline plans.
All this and more on today's episode!

“Hi, everybody, it's Bob Hustler from The Fan. Coming up next, it's Locked Up Sports.

I'm not sure who needed it more, the fan base, the team, the media. Everybody just needed to get away from this thing for a day, and I hope they did, I hope you did. We didn't do a show, the Mets didn't play a game.
We just all needed to step back, because it's been a complete and other disaster. Happy Bobby Bonilla Day, and it just seems perfect that it's Bobby Bonilla Day, right? One of the most dysfunctional things that the Mets franchises has ever done, coming at a time where they can't do anything right, right about now.
Like I said, they've lost 15 of 18, and now a game and a half behind the Phillies. They are coming off a series where it was probably one of the worst beat downs that the team has ever[…]”
