Rico Brogna: A New York Mets Podcast

The Mets are spiraling, and a late-night tweet from owner Steve Cohen only poured gasoline on the fire. Evan and Tiki react to the now-infamous “green shoots” message and why it completely missed the moment for a frustrated fanbase watching a team that looks lifeless early in the season. When expectations are high, messaging matters, and this one struck a nerve. The guys break it down from both sides, with Tiki offering a player’s perspective on why public excuses can backfire, while Evan lays out what fans actually want to hear during a losing streak. They also touch on accountability inside the clubhouse, leadership questions, and how quickly optimism has turned into real concern about what this Mets team actually is.
