This week on Hits Different, we're talking about the Amazins' amazing 12-game losing streak, their longest since 2002. On Wednesday night, the streak finally ended, but at what cost? Francisco Lindor is now in a walking boot due to a calf strain so severe that he refuses to even look at the imaging. He hasn't looked down at his leg at all, actually. He doesn't want to know!!!

How are you feeling about the Mets? It's sort of a weird time, because of course we all saw a Baty Bomb (not discussed in this episode) on Thursday night, but we also saw Craig Kimbrel. We saw the streak end, but it was with two narrow victories over a team that (with respect) has no aspirations to accomplish anything this year. We saw Francisco Lindor wince and we screamed.

The one thing we are sure about is that the Minnesota-themed Hot Dish egg roll was GREAT. Two thumbs up. Ellen's most enthusiastic review so far (out of the two she has done).

The one other thing we're sure about is LET'S GO METS.

Many horrible things have happened. It's 90 degrees in April. We're without David. We're sweating. We're upset because the Mets won't stop losing. You would think at some point they would win because of a fluke, but they haven't.

This week on Hits Different, Ellen and Kait mostly discuss their physical and emotional discomfort. Brett Baty is the only qualified hitter left in MLB who has yet to record a walk, and we were there to see him almost record one but then have it taken back by ABS. (I, Kait, am now anti-ABS.) Three Mets struck out on 10 pitches in the 9th inning of a one-run game even though only 2 of those pitches were in the strike zone. We received a surprisingly moving and delightful voice note from an avowed Atlanta Braves fan? Nothing's right. Everything's wrong. Jared Young is having knee surgery!

We'll probably go to every single game when the Mets get back to New York. We should be with them in their darkest hour.

Obviously when we recorded this episode and we said "the Mets have yet to see a game slip away because of the bullpen" the Mets had yet to see a game slip away because of the bullpen. They did so about 12 hours later. C'est la vie!

This week on Hits Diff, Dave and Kait are missing Ellen, who is in Guatemala, and Juan Soto, who is in an ice bath probably. We miss them equally! Kait tried to fill in for Ellen's egg roll review segment but it didn't hit the same. It hit different (derogatory). Come back, Ellen!! And come back, Juan!! And come back, Double Play David Peterson?? Will you?? Though the Mets are sweet and kind and gentle, a lot of other baseball players were fighting or talking about fighting this week, so we spent some time thinking about our favorite baseball brawls and why baseball brawls are so great.

Please send us your questions and links to YOUR favorite baseball brawls at hitsdiffpodcast@gmaill.com—send as a voice note, if you will, so we can play them on the show! Also, please send us your recommendations for Mets bars. Dave and Kait were randomly attacked by "Trivia Night" while trying to watch the boys at a local pub last night and we can't have that happen again.

Let's go Mets!!
