Part 6/8:
Both Boomer and Gio express incredulity at the drastic drop in team performance. The Mets’ starter rotations that once instilled confidence have faltered drastically, contributing to a bleak outlook. The duo acknowledges that while every team faces challenges throughout the season, the disparity in performances, especially against weaker opponents like the Pirates, is unforgivable.
Gio adds that the anxiety surrounding a potential playoff miss is palpable, indicating that if the team ends the season without a postseason berth, significant changes might become necessary. However, the discussion remains focused on the present—how to redeem the season going forward, especially with the upcoming matchups against teams that could either stabilize the slide or exacerbate the issue.
