The Mets’ slow start is one thing, but what’s happening with Francisco Lindor is something else entirely. Evan and Tiki focus on the first wave of concern coming out of Queens, zeroing in on Lindor’s uncharacteristic mistakes that go beyond a typical early-season slump. From base running blunders to defensive lapses, they try to make sense of why one of the game’s smartest players suddenly looks out of sync. They explore multiple theories, including whether increased aggression, lack of familiarity with new teammates, or even a possible lingering injury could be impacting his instincts. The conversation also touches on the Mets’ offensive struggles, lineup inconsistencies, and the growing pressure surrounding Carlos Mendoza as questions begin to mount just weeks into the season.
