Locked On Mets - Daily Podcast On The New York Mets

Zac Thornton threw six more scoreless innings and picked up his first career big league victory, with the New York Mets shutting out the Milwaukee Brewers 4-0. 

Thornton picked up right where he left off last time out, now having thrown 18 consecutive scoreless innings. It was a very similar formula for Thornton, who trusted the defense behind him and they certainly delivered. 

Offensively for the Mets, they took advantage of some sloppy play by the Brewers in the 5th inning to tack on a pair of runs and Luis Robert Jr. hit a TOWERING shot to push the Mets lead to four. 

The win sets up a rubber match for the Mets tomorrow, with Christian Scott looking to deliver a second straight series win to start the 2nd half of the year. 

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down Thornton's night and the Mets win.

New York Mets’ playoff hopes fade as Freddy Peralta struggles again—has his trade value vanished?  

Ryan Finkelstein spotlights Peralta’s nightmare outing against the Brewers, detailing the ace’s ballooning 5.01 ERA and recapping the rough night for Luis Robert Jr.  

The Mets’ strategy of showcasing trade pieces ahead of the deadline comes under fire, with scouts and fans alike questioning whether meaningful returns are still possible for these veterans.

Finkelstein ranks the potentially available rental starting pitchers across MLB, evaluates the depleted market, and debates whether the Mets can salvage any value for Peralta.  

Insights on recent trends, contract complications for players like Kevin Gausman and Robbie Ray.  

Can the Mets turn disappointment into opportunity, or are they set to lose big on their latest win-now moves?

It was a rough homecoming for Freddy Peralta, as the New York Mets dropped the series opener in Milwaukee 8-3.

Peralta made his start start back in Milwaukee since the trade, and it did not go well. The Brewers scored in each of the first three innings as they got to Peralta for 7 earned runs over 5.1 innings of work. 

The bats really didn't have a ton of answers for the Brewers pitching staff tonight, striking out 15 times. They only had to face Jacob Misiorowski for 4 innings tonight, but couldn't get anything working against this Brewers bullpen. 

POSTCAST host Chris Schubert breaks down all the happenings from this series opener.

New York Mets consider dramatic trade reversal as Freddy Peralta struggles to deliver, sparking rumors of a potential reunion with the Milwaukee Brewers for top prospect Jett Williams.  

Could a "trade-back" rescue both teams after an offseason deal that hasn't paid off?

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the Brewers’ rotation woes, the Mets’ prospect pipeline, and why a Peralta-for-Williams swap could make sense at the MLB trade deadline.  

Topics include Jett Williams’ development issues in AAA, the Brewers’ young arms, trade market dynamics for rental starting pitchers, and the value of a top shortstop prospect.  

The imminent Mets vs. Brewers series and pitching matchups—featuring Cy Young favorite Jacob Mizorowski—are spotlighted, along with key updates on Francisco Lindor, Luis Robert Jr., and internal position battles.  

Can the Mets turn the page on a disappointing year by reclaiming lost future value?

New York Mets spoil the Phillies’ run with Nolan McLean’s dominant pitching and Francisco Lindor’s electrifying performance.  

Can the Mets’ emerging young core spark hope for the future even as the season slips away?

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the Mets’ series win in Philadelphia, spotlighting McLean's 10-strikeout shutout and Lindor reaching base in all five plate appearances.  

The episode covers clutch moments from Juan Soto, Brett Baty, and Luis Torrens, plus a strong bullpen finish despite late-game nerves.  

Analysis includes McLean’s evolving pitch strategy, Lindor’s response to criticism, and the potential impact of upcoming trades.  

With Christian Scott and McLean anchoring the rotation and young players like AJ Ewing and Carson Benge in the lineup, the Mets’ path to rebuilding gains momentum as they gear up to face the Milwaukee Brewers.

Is a late-season surge on the horizon for New York’s most intriguing prospects?
