Mets battle the Braves, injuries, roster decisions, and challenges ahead

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop Episode 20 of The Mets Pod, as the Mets drop by Atlanta, Philadelphia, and the Bronx for an important stretch of games heading into the stretch run of the regular season. The guys talk about roster moves resulting from injuries, how prospect Brett Baty can help the Mets, and the way the schedule plays out into September. Later in the show, Connor and Joe break down the build up of Jacob deGrom, and examine the ways that Tylor Megill can be used upon his potential return. Finally, the guys open the Mailbag to take on questions about Mark Vientos, a possible Pete Alonso contract extension, and Jeff McNeil’s place in the batting order.
