WGB #90: RatCoon Rally

Special Bonus Edition of WGB because there is simply way too much going on with this ball club to cover it all in one episode. Not saying that we're going to have an episode for every series the Mets play, but when you got the new face of your franchise and the Hits6od going at it in a tunnel you better believe we're dedicating an episode to it!!! Team Rat, Team Raccoon or Team RatCoon it doesn't matter as long as the actual team keeps playing the way they have been. The Mets are on a 5-game win streak, currently in first in the NL East and the lineup is FINALLY HITTING. We said last week that they needed to bring Bully Ball back and some of the guys needed to show a spine and get angry and boy did they! Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil's frustrations apparently boiled over in the tunnel and what resulted was an absolute breakout for both superstars. They let the anger flow through them and they channeled it into mashing baseballs. Truly couldn't have seen that coming from the two most mild mannered people on the planet, but what's more is, we couldn't have made up that rat-raccoon cover story if our lives depended on it. So dumb, so stupid, so over-the-top, yet so perfect. If this run continues and we continue to beat the brakes off of teams then the RatCoon story will go down in infamy as the turning point of the entire franchise. The guys break down the positives and negatives of the story, how the club has responded since and the very high and very real expectations for the rest of the season. We also discuss the lock down bullpen, just how nervous we should be about deGrom's recent health scares and who are the next players targeted to "meet in the tunnel." There are a ton of reasons to convince you to believe, but all you need is a pair of eyes to see that this team is the real deal so we gotta believe.
