Locked On Mets - Daily Podcast On The New York Mets

The New York Mets put together one of the greatest seasons in franchise history in 2022, yet they will be remembered with how it all ended. A lackluster September led to the Braves stealing the division and the Mets couldn't get past a short series in the Wild Card round. Host Ryan Finkelstein tries to make sense of it all being over, while crediting Joe Musgrove and the Padres on playing great baseball this weekend. Also, could the 2022 Mets be like the 1985 Mets, a team that comes up short as a prequel to an eventual World Series champ? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Mets completed the fourth 100-win season in franchise history, yet they were eliminated from contention in the NL East. Host Ryan Finkelstein sorts through the mixed emotions of having one of the greatest season in franchise history come up a bit short. Also, the Philadelphia Phillies ended an 11-year playoff drought yesterday and celebrated with a champagne shower in the locker room. Without having the same expectations as the Mets, are the Phillies and their fans sitting in a better seat right now being able to appreciate making it into the playoffs as a Wild Card team? Ryan discusses the difference between the two clubs and how that could impact them if they square off in the Wild Card round. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
