    Peterson was an All Star last year not a 5th starter. And you think Conforto was only good for a few years? Familiarize yourself with Baseball Referenxe.com. Compare Conforto’s numbers as a Met to Nimmo and Lindor. Plus he played a gold glove right field the best player on the Mets for a long time.

  • No spin. Straight talk

    I appreciate how Mike Silva doesn’t do the typical click-bait show. He tells it like it is(even if we don’t want to hear it), no spin, no bull. Keep up the good work!

  • Condescending Host

    I’d rather read an article of his from the Post than listen to how condescending he is to his listeners. Constantly makes comments basically saying the fans are idiots & don’t know what they’re talking about.
