Published On: Tue May 12 2026
Description: Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the Mets calling up A.J. Ewing as the team sits ten games under .500 with an offense that desperately needs a jolt. They debate whether the move is a smart attempt to spark a lifeless lineup or a sign that the Mets are already running out of answers. The guys break down what Ewing brings to the roster, from speed and defense to his ability to put the ball in play, while also questioning how fair it is to put so much pressure on a 21 year old prospect. They also touch on the Mets’ lack of other realistic options, why Carlos Mendoza needs to let Ewing play, and how the young call up could change the feel around a frustrating season.
