BT and Sal fire away at the Mets' confusing decision to appoint a Director of Major League Hitting—a move that strongly suggests an organization with two hitting coaches or two cooks in the kitchen.

2025/10/15

BT and Sal engage in a fiery debate over the New York Mets' recent hiring of a new bench coach, Chi Correa, and what it signals for manager Carlos Mendoza.
