Francisco Alvarez debate, Triple-A Syracuse solutions for the offense, and first homestand recaps and reaction

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo put the wraps on the first homestand of the season for the Mets, as The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac covers the series wins over the Marlins and the Padres, while addressing the Alvarez in the room. Connor and Joe recap the week that was, and dive into the debate surrounding young catcher Francisco Alvarez, and how he’s being used after being called up to the big league club. The guys also talk about improvement for Max Scherzer, the huge production from Brett Baty, Ronny Mauricio, and Mark Vientos in Triple-A Syracuse, and how the remainder of the starting rotation looks so far this season. Later in the show, the Mailbag delivers questions about calling up prospects, a new position for Ronny Mauricio, and also a query that leads to a spirited debate about the Mets retiring number 5 in honor of David Wright.
