Here's what happened Friday in Mets Land, in case you missed it...


- The Mets are on a three-game winning streak after Joey Lucchesi's impressive outing and Jeff McNeil's four RBI fueled a 7-1 win at the St. Louis Cardinals.

- Pete Alonso explained what happened with throwing Masyn Winn's first-career hit into the stands and why the New York slugger feels "terrible."

- Top prospects Drew Gilbert and Luisangel Acuna produced three-hit games in Double-A Binghamton's 7-4 win. Ryan Clifford also impressed.

- Are the Mets or Yankees the better New York baseball team set up to turn things around in 2024? Sal Licata, Anthony McCarron, John Jastremski and Hannah Keyser answered on Baseball Night in New York.

- Should the Mets strive to win games the rest of 2023 or fall into the 2024 MLB Draft Lottery? The Mets Pod's Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo discussed.

- Speaking of DeMayo, he continued his Mets prospects analysis with a deep dive on Jett Williams as the 19-year-old rises with High-A Brooklyn.

- Also with a focus on the future, Kodai Senga explained why Yoshinobu Yamamoto would be a "great fit" with the Mets and made a recruiting pitch for the fellow Japanese RHP to join New York.
