Another great series! The win streak is over but this team is still rolling. Mark Vientos is a hero and low key might win the Silver Slugger? Sean Manaea is still great. Luis Severino and Jose Quintana had really good starts too. The bullpen might even be turning a corner. Jeff McNeil is out for the season though which stinks and we talked about the decision to call-up DJ Stewart for that roster spot. Then, a dense preview of the upcoming Blue Jays series with our friend Thomas Nestico aka @TJSt...

The Mets are ROLLING people. Seven in a row. Swept both kinds of socks. Starting pitching has been awesome. David Peterson had the best start of his career and kind of looks like a totally new person. Francisco Lindor is the MVP. We have a lot of reasons why. Also, bullpen is in a sneaky little groove. And Jesse Winker rocks. Gotta keep pushing.
Sep 05, 2024•1 hr 4 min•Ep. 327
Took care of business. Thankfully. White Sox are legit the worst team in baseball which was fun to play against but also kind of sad. Big series from Sean Manaea, Francisco Lindor, Tylor Megill (really), and the bullpen. Carlos Mendoza still does some weird things though. Your voicemails were funny. Good blend of sports talk radio and chaos. Red Sox preview to bring us home.
Sep 02, 2024•1 hr 7 min•Ep. 326
What a series. It was a good series? We won a series we had to win but also there’s this bad taste in our mouths from Wednesday when Edwin Díaz came in out of nowhere and then completely imploded. Bittersweet. Whatever, Lindor and Pete are heating up and Manaea is so good. After, we talk about September call ups, if it’s Luisangel Acuña, and what to expect. Then a preview of the White Sox.
Aug 30, 2024•58 min•Ep. 325
SO FRUSTRATING. Almost beat the Padres but Sunday was rough. Bullpen has to execute. Huge weekends for Francisco Lindor and David Peterson. Mark Vientos too. Someone else in the lineup has to help. Also ugh José Buttó and then Edwin Díaz blew that game. Eric Chavez is the Media Marvel because he said some wild stuff about Francisco Álvarez that we don't like. Then, a fatty Diamondbacks preview with our pal Dalton Kates and a closing word from Frankie Peppers.
Aug 26, 2024•58 min•Ep. 324
The Orioles thought they were so cool. Cute little team from Baltimore tried to run their mouth before bam, walk-off after another walk-off and we’re heading west on a high note. Mark Vientos is also a legend, Francisco Lindor MVP, Sean Manaea and David Peterson swag, and Edwin Díaz is back. Quick prospect report talking about Jett Williams, Brandon Sproat, Drew Gilbert, and Nolan McLean before big Padres preview.
Aug 22, 2024•47 min•Ep. 323
Good series. Almost a great series but Sunday sucked and the bunt was bad and the attempt was bad and the whole game was just frustrating despite a good start for Paul Blackburn. Whatever. Luis Severino and Sean Manaea were awesome in the other two games we're ready to rock for a huge series against the Orioles plus looking ahead to the Padres and Diamondbacks. Also, Media Marvels about Hawk Tuah, Aaron Judge, and Brett Baty.

We rank our top Mets Prospects from 25 down to 1 and talk about each one for a few minutes. We worked together on one list and have lots of good info on each guy.
Aug 17, 2024•45 min•Ep. 321
Honestly idk. Miserable, bad, gross, weird, more bad words. It feels like a playoff chance is slipping through our fingertips and all the organization cares about are ‘viral sensations’. Some ranting, some raving, some baseball talk. Then, figuring out why MLB leaked a ridiculous rule proposal.
Aug 16, 2024•52 min•Ep. 320
Omg (bad version). This sucked so bad. Five minute hardcore rant to start the episode then real podcast. Idk. Media Marvels at the end. Buster Olney is a dork.
Aug 12, 2024•54 min•Ep. 319
Great week. Won three out of four games and looked good doing it. Sean Manaea got us going on Monday in that weird single game in St. Louis and James has a laundry list of the adjustments he's made this season and in his last two starts to get this good. Then Colorado which started weird but ended up solid. We hope everyone had three beers during Paul Blackburn's quality start and the offense finally got going (thank you Coors Field). Then, we drifted back and talked about those weird comments P...
Aug 09, 2024•1 hr 17 min•Ep. 318
Ugh. Blah series. Blah weekend. The lost a series to the Angels which simply shouldn’t happen. We talk about why and how they lost these games which were again, just so blah. Maybe because we missed Gary (please come back ASAP Gary). Plus, a breakdown of some changes Paul Blackburn made in his Mets debut and why Francisco Alvarez has been ice cold. Then, some Media Marvels and wondering is it bad to hit pitches down the middle for home runs. Some people are saying it. Then, Cardinals one-game pr...
Aug 05, 2024•53 min•Ep. 317
Super packed show! The trade deadline just passed and we break down every player the Mets acquired and give our grades. Then, Twins recap over a strange series with two massive blowouts but we did win another series which is great. Also, Jose Quintana and Sean Manaea absolutely shoved and Mark Vientos is so strong. Then, an exclusive interview with Mets 8th round pick Ryan Lambert! He tells us what it feels like to throw 102 MPH, how sick the Pitching Lab is, and we make a promise to him for whe...

Packed show! Crazy four game series against the Braves that started really high and by the end felt pretty low. We talk about all the ins and outs along, especially what to make of Tylor Megill and David Peterson. During the series, we traded for Ryne Stanek and Jesse Winker. We tell you everything you need to know about the two newest Mets and then make our predictions for what will happen on Tuesday's deadline. Then, one of the most highly anticipated Media Marvels we've ever had because some ...

START SPREADING THE NEWS. The Mets swept the Subway Series and we're loving every second of it. We set a timer so we don't stop on the Yankees for too long and get back to what's really important, the Mets. We are rolling and playing our best ball of the year. Jeff McNeil is BACK. Jake Diekman resurgence bandwagon. Pete Alonso, Jose Iglesias, Mark Vientos, the hits keep coming. We have a massive series this weekend against the Braves. Vibes have never been better. Let's go take it.
Jul 25, 2024•56 min•Ep. 314
Packed episode. Marlins series was wild and we go through all of it. Pete Alonso is broken, Jeff McNeil is back, Francisco Lindor is the best, Luis Severino is a stud, and Christian Scott has a big problem. Then, HUGE trade deadline episode. We talk about something like 40 players the Mets could be interested in like Jazz Chisholm, Tarik Skubal, Zach Eflin, Jesse Winker and more. We drew up mock trades for most of them and talk about who we think could be the best fits. Then, a Subway Series pre...

The All-Star break has gifted us a moment to reflect on all the ridiculous things that happened so far this season. So, we decided to draft each of our five wildest story lines from the Mets first half before giving a preview and our predictions for the second half. What will happen at the Trade Deadline? How does the bullpen get better? What can we expect from Kodai Senga? Can Pete Alonso turn it on? Will the Mets make the playoffs? Lots of questions and lots of answers.
Jul 18, 2024•58 min•Ep. 312
We analyze all 20 picks made by David Stearns and the Mets in this draft. Lots of potential diamonds in the rough here and some really fun sleeper prospects plus a look at how the Mets scouting and drafting philosophy seems to be changing.
Jul 17, 2024•28 min•Ep. 311
Packed episode everyone. We won the Rockies series and talk about all the ins and outs there for like 30 minutes. The lineup, Christian Scott's struggles, José Butto and Dedniel Núñez saving our lives, Pete hopefully getting hot, and more. Then, some dense draft talk about the Mets first two picks Carson Benge and Jonathan Santucci. Also Media Marvels because some people thought Anthony Volpe was better than Francisco Lindor lol. Lots of fun.
Jul 15, 2024•1 hr 8 min•Ep. 310
SWEEEEEEP. The Mets have a playoff spot for the first time all season after sweeping the Nationals and played a great series. Nimmo is officially all grown up and he went off this week. Lindor too, they’ve been cash atop the lineup. The starters also all pitched really well while the bullpen was still not great. We did make a trade though for Phil Maton and give our predictions for the Mets Trade Deadline.
Jul 12, 2024•1 hr 4 min•Ep. 309
So close to a great Mets weekend. Still good but we got high key embarrassed on Friday then won two great games before the strange decision to pull Christian Scott on Monday. We go deep into that call by Mendoza and all the turmoil right now in the Mets bullpen. Also, Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor were snubbed from the All-Star Game and we are way too mad about it.
Jul 09, 2024•59 min•Ep. 308
Hi guys. It's Fourth of July and the Mets split the series against the Nationals. It was pretty frustrating but also kind of not, idk why. Mark Vientos is a freak. The Nationals are also like pretty fun and have built this team pretty well. Whatever, this was a wild series and this is a wild episode. Happy Fourth friends!
Jul 05, 2024•35 min•Ep. 307
Almost, almost. Vibes were insanely high for the Mets on Friday after another dramatic win and then Jose Iglesias performing his hit song "OMG" live on the field. It was a literal fever dream. Then, the bullpen kind of fell apart on Saturday and Sunday against the Astros. We argue about Tylor Megill, break down Luis Severino, give Brandon Nimmo a lot of credit for being sick, and talk about the rest of the games. Then, argue a bit about the Trade Deadline before a very, very thorough Prospect Re...

SWEEP. SWEEEEEEEEEP. THE METS ARE FINALLY BACK TO .500 AFTER HAMMERING THE YANKEES IN THE SUBWAY SERIES. FRANCISCO ÁLVAREZ IS UNREAL. MARK VIENTOS IS A DUDE. LINDOR AND NIMMO HAVE TO BE ALL-STARS. LETS KEEP ROLLING!!! ALSO, EMERGENCY MEDIA MARVELS BECAUSE MICHAEL KAY IS VERY SENSITIVE. LETS GO METS.
Jun 27, 2024•51 min•Ep. 305
300 episodes is crazy. Thank you guys so much for listening and being here with us after every series. The Edwin Díaz suspension sucks and is a very big deal. Sunday was just chaos in total. We smoked Shota Imanaga. Francisco Lindor, Brandon Nimmo, and JD Martinez are scalding hot. Francisco Álvarez is also just a freak with how good he is. Severino looked great. Good series overall. Then Media Marvels, Subway Series Preview, a thank you for 300 episodes, and a show announcement.
Jun 24, 2024•1 hr 1 min•Ep. 304
This team is rolling baby. Monday we crushed the Rangers, Tuesday was probably the best win of the season with big contributions from Brandon Nimmo, Mark Vientos, Francisco Álvarez, Pete Alonso, Edwin Díaz and so many more. It's really happening and we're feeling it. Also, sadly, Willie Mays passed away this week and we talk about how amazing he was for a little while. Lastly, Cubs preview and Prospect Report with Marquee Analyst Lance Brozdowski. Lance is the man, we've wanted to have him on fo...
Jun 20, 2024•1 hr 19 min•Ep. 303
Fun, actual fun. Mets sweep the Padres fueled half by grimace and half by JD Martinez. Does this change the Mets trade deadline plans? We try to figure it out. Francisco Lindor is also sick, who guessed it. The lineup seems fun too and Tylor Megill still looks good but not great. Also, Media Marvels and a preview of the Rangers series.
Jun 17, 2024•1 hr 3 min•Ep. 302
Almost sad but JD Martinez saved the day/episode/season (not really) and hit a walk-off home run Thursday. We talk about that, Tylor Megill being actually good, Brandon Nimmo, Francisco Lindor, David Peterson, Dedniel Nunez the gawd, Edwin Diaz and more. Then a little teaser to some trade deadline content and an interesting comment by Steve Cohen on the team's approach before a big prospect report. We give updates on Luisangel Acuna, Brandon Sproat, Christian Scott, Brett Baty, Jonah Tong, Ryan ...
