Brian is back with a conspiracy theory on David Wright’s latest setback, his thoughts on all of the latest injuries, and the recent return of the Juan Lagares we all know and love.

Brian returned to tell Roger what it’s like to watch Mets games without social media (07:30) before getting into all of the things Brian didn’t get to talk about over the last two weeks: the Binghamton Rumble Ponies making the playoffs (14:25), Robert Gsellman conceding apathy (16:10), Jay Bruce joining Twitter (18:12), Michael Conforto’s injury (20:27), Brian’s long desired Nori Aoki finally becoming a Met and if he would have been a better signing than Michael Cuddyer (25:50), Yoenis Cespedes’ injury (29:10), Brian’s conspiracy theory on David Wright’s latest setback (33:45), Wilmer Flores breaking his own nose on his own foul ball (45:50), Rafael Montero continuing to not be awful (49:50), Kevin Plawecki showing his promise (53:30), Matt Harvey’s predictably controversial return to the majors (57:28), Noah Syndergaard’s rehab (01:10:25), Juan Lagares proving he should be the 2018 starting center fielder (01:12:50), and the good news and bad news about Brandon Nimmo (01:16:00).

Then the two read and answered listeners’ questions asking if they would tolerate Mike Moustakas, Lorenzo Cain, Yu Darvish, or Jake Arrieta as a Met (01:20:50), the ideal 2018 Met rotation (01:23:55), if there’s a conspiracy to tank for 2019 (01:26:10), which zoo animal would define the Mets right now (01:30:17), and if you have to be injured to be a true Mets fan (01:32:00). There’s also a quick little postseason preview (01:35:00), and there’s a moment where a horrified Brian first realizes Jay Bruce might seriously be a Met again (01:28:40).
