In Episode 524, Patrick, Jeffrey and Craig chat about xennial concert festivals, and then preview the National League East.

2. The Mets are more watchable than Jeffrey believes, perhaps because he has watched too much Mets.
3. Is this it for the Phillies? Maybe.
4. The Marlins are entering their “evaluation” era.
5. Craig is not hearing it about Josiah Gray, or the 2026 Nationals.

3. The Mutts will find a way to lose.
4. The Fish are closer than people think.
5. The Gnats are closer than people think.
