The New York Mets won their home opener in dramatic, yet controversial, fashion, as Michael Conforto had a walk-off hit-by-pitch. Still, that ending shouldn't take away from some other key contributions from the Mets, as Taijuan Walker had an excellent first start and Jeff McNeil hit a game-tying home run in the ninth.

The New York Mets earned their first victory of the season on Tuesday, behind some great pitching from Marcus Stroman and eight runs scored by the offense. Dominic Smith and Pete Alonso each homered, showcasing some of the promise this lineup has in 2021. The bullpen is still a concern for the Mets however, as no one has looked great coming out of the pen so far this year. What has to change with the way Luis Rojas manages the bullpen to improve their success this season? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Along with previewing the first series of the season, we spend the show focusing on Jacob deGrom's legacy with the Mets and his next contract with the club.

What will it eventually take to keep deGrom in the blue and orange for the rest of his career and how many years of elite performance does he have left? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
