Bad day, sad day. The Padres crushed us and now our backs are against the wall. Max Scherzer wasn't himself and we let Yu Darvish off the hook early. We got a little upset but hey, Jacob deGrom today let's get a win.

Playoffs baby. It's not where we wanted to be in the short term but exactly where we wanted to be when we started this insane season. The Padres are in town for the inaugural three game Wild Card series and all bets are off. Max Scherzer will toe the rubber against Met-Killer Yu Darvish on Friday night and in front of what should be an electric Citi Field faithful. I don't even know what else to say I'm so excited. We get deep on the Padres roster, letting you guys know who to look out for, and ...

We needed this one. The Mets exorcised last weekend's demons by thoroughly destroying the Nationals to end their regular season on a high note. Francisco Álvarez hit his 1st career HR, Jeff McNeil won the batting title, Lindor had some knocks, Nimmo wrapped up a sensational season, everyone got in on the action against Washington. James noticed something about Taijuan Walker that could be important come playoff time AND tied up the Esti-Met at the finish line. Jon lets everyone know how we're go...
Not much else to say here. The Braves were better than us and showed it on the field. We talked about the series and how it fits into our season in general. Moaning, groaning, some positivity, lots of venting, it's exactly what you need on this somber day. James also got back into the Esti-Met and we discuss possible fall-out/tie-breaker. And we introduce our new producer, Vito! We'll look ahead next time, this was a therapy session. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices vi...

Literal chaos. Tuesday sucked besides Pete Alonso's 40th HR. Wednesday was insane though: James ate 9 hot dogs, Eduardo Escobar put the team on his back, the Nationals beat the Braves, Marc pulled out a miracle Esti-Met win, wild episode. On to Atlanta.

Marc & James sat down with legendary Mets radio play-by-play announcer Howie Rose. Howie spoke about his love for the Mets, his career in broadcasting, using social media & what he thinks we can expect from the 2022 New York Mets.

The title makes this episode way more put together than it actually was. Marc is coming off his record-breaking three MLB games in 24 hours feat that will be on YouTube this week. James joined him for the last leg and grinded all day Sunday. So, brains are broken. Despite rampant stupidity, we break down the entire, strange series out in Oakland. Three blowouts, Pete broke the Mets single season RBI record, Francisco Lindor reached 100 RBI for the first time in his career, and Mark Vientos hit h...

Good series in Milwaukee. Max Scherzer returned on Monday night and helped the Mets clinch their first playoff berth in six years with six perfect innings. That was followed by a very subdued, very sophisticated, very warranted celebration. Then Tuesday Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso showed off their power with home runs to send the Mets to victory. Wednesday was less fun, but the Mets won another series and continue to steam ahead in their pursuit of the National League East crown. Marc also ...
Max Scherzer ladies and gentlemen. Took a little while but this is a banger. The pitch clock, the DH, coming to the Mets, Jacob deGrom, and so much more.

Bang! Just what the doctor ordered! Shoutout to you guys for cleansing those chakras because the Mets quickly flipped the script on their week with a four game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Francisco Lindor got it started on Thursday for Roberto Clemente Night with a new glove, fresh cleats, and a loud home run. By the end of the series, the whole team got in on the fun. Jeff McNeil stayed hot, Pete Alonso drove in a run in every game, Brandon Nimmo was on base at will, Daniel Vogelbach found...
Bonus content!

Bad, bad, bad. This was the worst series the Mets played all year. Couldn't really hit, couldn't really pitch, couldn't really play defense. Just bad stuff all-around. We talk about the games (briefly) but spend most of this episode zooming out. Where are the Mets, where could they go, what's going on, things like that. Lots of narrative stuff that we know you guys are dying to hear. Few strategies on changing luck, superstition strategies, rituals, seances, the Rally Bun dies and then lives aga...
Good series! Everyone got scared after a hard-luck loss on Friday night before we took the last two games in Miami with very little resistance. Carlos Carrasco and Taijuan Walker were masterful and gave us the length we needed. The lineup stepped up too! Francisco Lindor is feeling himself, Mark Canha hit his first grand slam, Jeff McNeil keeps hitting, Brandon Nimo showed off his power, and the bottom of the order stayed hot led by Eduardo Esco-Bombs and James McCann. Jon jumped in for the Esti...

Such a casual series, right? The Mets scared everyone Tuesday night but rallied to a huge double-header sweep against the Pirates this week. Chris Bassitt was great, Jacob deGrom was otherworldly, Eduardo Escobar was feeling himself, Tyler Naquin was rocking, and the whole lineup wound contributing in a great day of Mets baseball. Of course, we touched on the Max Scherzer injury too and gave an update on our interview. Otherwise, we talked about Oneil Cruz, the Marlins, and fantasy football?? To...
Bad series. You know it, we know, everyone knows it. We talk about a few key events like David Peterson's start, Eduardo Escobar finding a little groove, and that's basically it. Then we kinda jump around. Talk about the season as a whole, team perceptions, good and bad stuff, things to watch over the final month plus James' experience at Ohio State Notre Dame in Columbus. Some college football talk, a compelling Esti-Met. Bad series but good episode To learn more about listener data and our pri...
Big series from the Mets this week. The Dodgers came to town and we handled them. The games were tough and close, but we found a way to win another series. Francisco Lindor stepped up, Starling Marte hit 2 HR, Jacob deGrom was dominant, Adam Ottavino stayed spectacular, Brandon Nimmo made the catch of the year. and Edwin Díaz was sensational fueled by Timmy Trumpet playing LIVE IN QUEENS! Citi was so unbelievable this entire series but especially on Wednesday. Oh yeah and we also interviewed Max...
This was a special, special weekend in Mets land. The team celebrated their first Old Timers Day since 1994 and the scene was spectacular. Mets from 1962 to 2015 came together for an unbelievable event and we take you through the whole thing from brunch to the red carpet to batting practice and through the game itself. We have some tid bits about Mike Piazza, Billy Wagner, José Reyes, Terry Collins and much much more. Such a genuinely incredible experience that culminated with the (surprise) ret...
We're tired and the Mets are tired. 27 games in 26 days is no easy task and that run ended with a tough loss in Yankee stadium on Tuesday night. This series wasn't the most fun so we didn't really talk about the game much. Instead, listen to some Yankee hate, stories from a fun night in the Bronx, unique jerseys in the crowd, and of course big picture analysis. Jon checks in next and goes over some new rules for 'Esti-Met' since Marc is utterly hopeless otherwise. We close out with our Rockies p...
Wow, the poor Phillies. Our season series with Philadelphia came to a merciful conclusion on Sunday with another dramatic come from behind victory for the Mets fueled by Mark Canha and Nate Fisher??? The game and this series but a cherry on top of the Mets DOMINANT 14-5 season series against the Phillies that we're certain every Mets fan has cherished. Big performances from Jeff McNeil, Chris Bassitt, Francisco Lindor, Trevor Williams, Starling Marte, Brandon Nimmo and others helped spurn this s...
Tough Series, really really tough series. The Mets got behind the eight-ball early with Carlos Carrasco and Taijuan Walker leaving their starts with injuries but fought hard to nearly split the series. But, they didn't and we break it all down from Max Scherzer to RJ Alvarez and back to Jacob deGrom. The big news this week was Brett Baty making his MLB debut and we gush over his outstanding performance down in Atlanta. Otherwise, we try to talk everyone down and let you guys know everything is f...
The boys sat down with Wayne Randazzo for a fantastic interview.

Another great weekend at Citi Field. Mets pitchers held the Phillies to just two runs (one earned) during the entire weekend. Max Scherzer was fantastic, Jacob deGrom was sensational, and Chris Bassitt was great en route to taking another series from Philadelphia. Francisco Lindor set the Mets record for RBI by a SS too which was a great moment. Edwin Díaz's trumpets were electric, what else is new. Otherwise, this was a pretty straightforward series and this episode reflects that with no random...
Bonus episode! Marc and James sit down with Darren Ferguson, better known as UKMets on Twitter, during his first trip to New York and Citi Field (he came to the United States for the first time, just to see the Mets)!

Easy series. The Mets continued their winning ways with a sweet of the Cincinnati Reds this week at Citi Field. Chris Bassitt, Carlos Carrasco all gave length. Francisco Lindor mashed. Tyler Naquin, Daniel Vogelbach, and Darin Ruf stayed hot. This series was so easy that the Mets didn't trail for a single moment. None! After wrapping that up we talk to friend of the show Matt Eddy, executive editor of Baseball America, about the Mets farm system. He takes us through their top 30, new draft picks...
The boys are BUZZING after the Mets decisive 4-1 series victory over the 2nd place Braves. Marc and James break down five long games of action from the most pivotal Mets series in years. From Carlos Carrasco to Tyler Naquin to Francisco Lindor to Daniel Vogelbach to Edwin Díaz to Max Scherzer there is a lot to go over. Oh yeah, and Jacob deGrom's long-awaited return to Citi Field after nearly 400 days, that one was fun too. Marc also won his first Esti-Met: adorable. What a weekend in Queens. To...
