SPIRAL Continues, Mets Drop 12th in a Row! | Waste Great Effort By Nolan McLean and Francisco Lindor  
Podcast: Locked On Mets - Daily Podcast On The New York Mets
Published On: Wed Apr 22 2026
Description: New York Mets' collapse continues as a strong outing from Nolan McLean and a three-run blast by Francisco Lindor go to waste in their 12th straight defeat. Can the return of Juan Soto ignite a turnaround, or are the Mets destined for a historic skid? Ryan Finkelstein recaps the gut-wrenching loss at Citi Field, spotlighting McLean’s perfect start through five innings and Lindor’s much-needed spark at the plate.   The show dissects defensive lapses from Mark Vientos, Devin Williams’ meltdown in a tied ninth, and the offense’s vanishing act against the Minnesota Twins’ bullpen.   Hot topics include Carlos Mendoza’s bullpen decisions, the club’s mounting pressure, and whether upsides from Francisco Lindor’s performance and Juan Soto’s return can change the momentum. Mets fans are left wondering—will this losing streak finally end, or is rock bottom still ahead?   Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
