Also, AI in the Mets' dugout, Kodai Senga, Marcus Semien, and a preview of the Brewers series plus a though provoking question from Frankie Peppers. 🌶️

Is this team kind of fun? It's still not good baseball overall, but watching AJ Ewing and Carson Benge blossom is incredible. As is Juan Soto's power surge. Same with Christian Scott and Sean Manaea getting on track. Tuesday was still a catastrophe though, besides for Keith's existentialism. Whatever, we get into all of it here. 🌶️

This team can't go a single day without nonsense. They split a chaotic four-game series against the Braves over the holiday weekend. Juan Soto was on fire, Bo Bichette keeps hitting, Nolan McLean pitched well again, and more guys contributed. There was also plenty of bad like late inning collapses, more poor defense, and general chaos baseball. But the real stories are first, Media Marvels for New York radio trying to trade Francisco Lindor, a re-hashing of his and Soto's relationship drama after Steve Cohen's comments last week, and a huge article from Will Sammon mentioning Francisco Alvarez's availability in a trade. It really never ends.🌶️

The Mets drop another frustrating series, this time against the Blue Jays, as the same questions continue to follow them: inconsistent offense, shaky execution, and a team that still can’t seem to find steady footing.
Marc and James break down what went wrong in Toronto, what this series says about the state of the Mets, and where the blame should be pointed right now. Plus, Steve Cohen went on The Show with Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman and had plenty to say about David Stearns, Carlos Mendoza, the trade deadline, and the direction of the franchise.
Is Cohen’s confidence reassuring, or should Mets fans be even more concerned? We get into all of it on this episode of Mets’d Up.

What a weekend. So much has happened since we last talked to you guys. Sure, we played three baseball games and lost two of them. We talked a bit about good performances from Zach Thornton and Christian Scott, an annoying game on Sunday, and AJ Ewing’s continued emergence. But mostly, we’re still dealing with the Carlos Mendoza fallout. There were some wild press conferences, quotes, articles, and stories surrounding all these and it’s hard to wrap our minds around most of it honestly. Major yap session about the rough state of this organization.

Carlos Mendoza was fired. It made sense, maybe came too late, still sad for him as a guy but understanding this has felt obvious for months now. We react to it all including his faults at the helm, Andy Green's credentials as the interim manager, and the somewhat bizarre media reaction to Mendoza's ousting. This season is just nonstop chaos, huh. 🌶️

Mets are embarrassingly bad and to make it worse they had 6 errors in their 2nd loss of the day to the Chicago Cubs where they gave up 10 runs in each game. Mets have also traded David Peterson to the Cubs for a prospect Cole Mathis. This team is truly terrible.

Wow. Those were two of the worst baseball games ever. Team keeps stumbling, Freddy Peralta had the worst start of his career, and David Peterson keeps digging a deeper hole. The 'we're playing a lefty lineup' was awful again too. Bright side, Francisco Lindor is back this week. That is something. Plus, a preview of the series against the Cubs. 🌶️

Another rough series. Especially Monday and Tuesday, which were each in the running for 'Worst Mets Games We've Seen Lately'. Regardless, there was plenty to talk about. Nolan McLean was lights on Wednesday and Bo Bichette looks like he's finally turned the corner. Then, some bad stuff like Kodai Senga pitching horribly in his return, David Peterson continuing to get worse, running out of rotation options, and an ABS problem than will not go away. 🌶️

We won a series! We've won 7 out of 10 games. Not going to get too ahead of ourselves, but it's nice to see this team playing actual good baseball. Especially Carson Benge who may be turning into a star right before our eyes. Plus, some huge positives to pull from Marcus Semien, Christian Scott, Bo Bichette, Nolan McLean, and more.

The Mets lost another series. They a golden opportunity to steal a game on Monday, but the lineup was nonexistent once again and we could only grab one out of three in Seattle. There were some big positives to pull, like Sean Manaea pitching really well, Jonah Tong finding some cutter consistency, and Bo Bichette's four-hit game. But also, obviously, plenty of negatives. Possibly none more glaring thank Mark Vientos' game and his comments after playing some terrible ball. It's all here plus a preview of the Padres series and everyone's favorite new segment, Knicks Corner 🌶️

Great, we won. Still, this team is a chore to watch. We talked about some poignant comments from Ronny on Tuesday after a horrible mental error by David Peterson and the team hanging on by the skin of their teeth Wednesday. Some positives like Juan Soto, Carson Benge, and Eric Wagaman too plus some new data on Jonah Tong.

That's it, we're calling it. This was as disheartening of a four days of baseball as anyone could have imagined and this season is even more off the rails than before. We rant for a little while on the state of the team, not being able to hit, Carlos Mendoza's job, David Stearns' job, and Nolan McLean's recent struggles. It's so bad.

Wow, Monday night was fun. A back-and-forth 12-inning game that we blew up open with a 10 run 12th inning to stay hot with so many huge performances throughout. Feeling much better about Brett Baty, Bo Bichette, Carson Benge, and the rest of the squad. Nice detailed recap of that insane game plus, our thoughts on Nick Morabito and Zach Thornton before their major league debuts this week. Also, some more Knicks Corner.

WOW! Huge trades two nights in a row! This one for Brewers' All-Star pitcher Freddy Peralta. We parted with a solid package in both Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat to do so, but this was a trade the David Stearns and the Mets had to make if they were serious about competing. We talk about who Peralta is as a pitcher, what to expect from him, what we're getting with Tobias Myers who is the sneaky fun second piece of this deal, where the farm system stands without Jett and Sproat, and what we think could happen to finish off the offseason. This is awesome though.

Great series against the Padres! Good hitting and good pitching, imagine that. Even the bullpen was pretty good. We talk about great series from Pete Alonso, Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, Brett Baty, and Brandon Nimmo plus the adjustments made by Jonah Tong in his awesome start. Also, the amazing piggy-back of Sean Manaea and Clay Holmes and a David Peterson’s struggles.

Just barely avoided disaster thanks to Pete Alonso and Nolan McLean. A lot of talk about the young pitchers here including what Nolan McLean and Brandon Sproat did well versus why Jonah Tong struggled. Also, we rank the Mets' relievers by how much we trust them (hint it's not much at all) and then a Media Marvel about Jacob deGrom's return to Citi Field before previewing the Padres' series.

We're here for a status check midway through the series to talk about some bizarre decisions by Carlos Mendoza, the lineup going silent again, another bad start from Sean Manaea, more great things from Nolan McLean, and more.

We won a series and played pretty well overall. The offense mostly stayed hot, especially Juan Soto, Pete Alonso, and Brandon Nimmo. Nolan McLean also keeps looking like an ace. In other news, Ryan Helsley is broken beyond belief. Huge series with the Reds coming up and a big question about Kodai Senga.

SWEEEEEEEEP. We destroyed the Phillies for three straight games and are soooo deeply in their heads. The bats crushed, Starling Marte is on fire, we get every hit with RISP now, it was really such an amazing series. Oh yeah, and Nolan McLean had another sensational start. Alec Bohm also cried about a microphone wahhhhh. We also went through some of the negatives like struggles by Ryan helsley, Kodai Senga, and Sean Manaea. Nevertheless, fun series.

Good series that was almost a great series. Sunday stunk and it was a game we maybe probably should've won. But, the bats went crazy otherwise (Mark Vientos might be back) and Nolan McLean is a star. We breakdown the whole series with a preview of the upcoming matchups against the Phillies. Plus, some fun Jonah Tong rumors.

What an absolute travesty. We lost three of the most brutal consecutive games ever in a row. Hurts bad, this team looks terrible, Carlos Mendoza made some weird moves, Francisco Lindor had a bad error, and everyone had a bad series while the Brewers just never quit. You literally couldn't script it worse than this.

Also, Michael Kay responded to our last episode so we talk about that too. Lastly, we preview the upcoming Dodgers series.

What a terrible Sunday of baseball. The Mets smoked the ball all over the field but still couldn’t buy a big hit against the Cardinals. Juan Soto had a home run robbed, Mark Vientos is lost with men on base, and Jesse Winker got hurt. Blade Tidwell’s debut didn’t go as planned either despite some awful luck. Whatever, gotta bounce back in Arizona.

Annoying series. It started great with a rout on Tuesday, but the bats fell cold again and we lost two of three to a solid Diamondbacks team. Juan Soto does look he's turned a corner which is good. That was it though as the rest of the lineup, especially Mark Vientos, couldn't find a big hit. Also, the bullpen is getting hit by injuries and Carlos Mendoza made a few weird decisions. Lastly, shoutout Brandon Waddell because that guy is a dawg.

We're ending an amazing offseason by predicting who will be on the Mets five years from now. Truly anything is possible with Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, Brandon Nimmo and the prospects as the only players who will be under contract and Steve Cohen's money giving us the chance to sign any free agents we want. Maybe some trades too! And of course some weird David Stearns bullpen signings because those will never stop. We got crazy with it.

The Mets added to their bullpen with AJ Minter. Then, the Dodgers added to theirs with Tanner Scott. We break down Minter while also taking a step back and thinking about everything the Dodgers are doing and this idea that they're 'ruining' the league.

Shohei Ohtani homered first batter of the game and it never really felt that close. Lineup is cooked, JD Martinez is playing over Jesse Winker, Jose Quintana was out early, Carlos Mendoza ran out of options, the wheels might be falling off. Ok, being dramatic and the vent session turns into a big pep talk before Game 5.
That was awful. We got smacked at home. Nay, shutout at home. Terrible. Francisco Alvarez is lost, we don’t know why JD Martinez is playing over Jesse Winker, and straight up nobody hit. We believe this team can bounce back and this was a good vent session.
Mets won. Series is tied heading back to Citi Field. The world said we were dead and guess what?? We are ALIVE. Francisco Lindor started it off, Mark Vientos had the big hit, and shocker games Sean Manaea pitched against the Dodgers five years ago had no impact on this one. Everyone in the lineup took good at-bats and the duo of Ryne Stanek and Edwin Díaz keeps getting better.

The first game of the series was electric. We jumped all over Taijuan Walker with home runs from Mark Vientos, Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Alvarez. We’re live on the 7 train talking with other fans on the way home from an amazing night at Citi Field
Oh...My...God. What a series. It started with people upset about purple seats and crowd sizes and ended with 20 unanswered runs and Luisangel Acuña putting his stamp on the playoff race.

Friday was good. Everything else was bad. We crushed Aaron Nola but Francisco Lindor is hurt and we just really hope he’s ok. Luisangel Acuña came up to replace him and looked pretty good. Severino and Peterson pitched great until the very end of their outings. Carlos Mendoza may not have handled them perfectly either.

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 @TJStats on Twitter. We talk about the Jays, his work, and some Mets pitching prospects. Then, close it out with Media Marvels and reading your reviews. Oh yeah, and a BIG announcement about the show.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Pete Alonso made to the media about his season on Monday. With that, we went back and found some of our old comments about the Mets trading Pete this winter. Mets fans move fast and that's why we're the best! Then, a Mariners Series Preview with our friends Lyle and TJ from the Marine Layer Pod and an update from the illustrious Frankie Peppers to close the show.
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 preview, Rockies preview, and reading your reviews.
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 when he makes his Mets debut. Great interview, very zen. We close the show with a preview of the upcoming Angels series and then listen to your voice memos with a special guest appearance from the one and only Frankie Peppers. Amazing show!
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 bald guy declared the NL Wild Card Race over. For some reason. Then a series preview for the underrated Twins.
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.
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 preview with friend of the program Zach Misischia from The Makeshift Project. Again, packed episode.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 Report with notes on Luisangel Acuna, Brandon Sproat, Jonah Tong, Ryan Clifford and many more. Close the show with a preview of the Nationals series.
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.
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.
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 for a while and spent like 25 minutes nerding out together about baseball it was so much fun.
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.
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 Clifford and two big sleepers in the Mets system Fun one woo.
The boys had boots on the ground for the London Series to see the Mets split a 2 game series with the Phillies. Jose Alvarado is still a rat and blows a save in excellent fashion. Shoutout to all the fans we met in London, the pints were crackin, the games were mental and the vibes were brilliant. Mets had back to New York for a 3 game series with the Marlins and we are absolutely battered from the London Series. Great time abroad, should we keep James there?
Are the Mets hot?? The Mets might be hot. We went down to Washington and swept the Nationals behind some solid pitching and awesome hitting fueled by Francisco Lindor, Mark Vientos, and newcomers Luis Torrens and Jose Iglesias. New blood it good! We break it down in a bit of a chaos episode as the boys both have boots on the ground in the UK ahead of the London Series bruvv innit.
Things are better? They are kind of better and they were almost good. Almost though, so close to being good. Mark Vientos is the every day third baseman now, Christian Scott is in the minor leagues (pain), Francisco Lindor had a huge game, Brandon Nimmo doesn't know how to hit third, real Reed Garrett please stand up. We also talked about the Darryl Strawberry number retirement ceremony and debate which Mets deserve to get their numbers retired in the future. Then some Media Marvels and a preview of the Nationals series.
This team is legit unbelievable. Not only did they get swept by the Dodgers, blow another lead, not score for 20 innings, and Pete Alonso might’ve gotten hurt. Jorge Lopez threw his glove into the crowd and then might’ve said the Mets are the worst team in the league and that he’s the worst teammate in the league. It never ends it actually never ends. Also breaking down Tylor Megill, checking in on Reed Garrett, explaining what’s happening with the casino in Flushing, and a Prospect Report.
Somehow this keeps spiraling. The Mets have totally mishandled the Edwin Díaz situation. We're inventing new ways to lose games. Francisco Lindor stared at a two strike pitch. Brett Baty and Mark Vientos are pushing each other to be better. Great starts from Christian Scott, Luis Severino, and Sean Manaea. Media Marvels making fun of ourselves, a stolen Mets meme, Buster Olney, Anthony DiComo, and a crazy story about iced coffee in Citi Field. The team is not fun but we still are.
So bad. Swept. Haven’t won a series in weeks. Tylor Megill looked good though. Mark Vientos also keeps crushing the ball. We talked about them both a good bit in between all the not so good stuff. Also, a beefy prospect report reviewing all the latest promotions and taking a look at some struggling minor leaguers.
Pain, pain everywhere. Something is wrong. We don't know what is but we try to talk through. This Edwin stuff is the worst. Even Christian Scott got hit. This stinks. Also, Media Marvels and we take some shots at Ron Washington, Paul Skenes haters, and ourselves. Close it out with a Guardians preview woooo can't wait to do this all again.
Crazy week. It felt like a year. Edwin blew two saves. Francisco Lindor didn't get a hit. Christian Scott hasn't even pitched yet. Thankfully we won a game but this was a bad series and we talk about it. Oh also Steve Cohen accidentally tweeted about trading everyone at the deadline and then deleted it. Crazy. Crazy!
Almost a disaster series against the Braves totally saved by Brandon Nimmo’s walk-off home run. He’s incredible. Full Christian Scott breakdown from James who had boots on the ground at Citi to see his new favorite pitcher live. Plus, José Quintana has been awful, JD Martinez is heating up, Starling Marte two-hole concerns, figuring out why and how Pete Alonso’s alleged contract offer was leaked, and a preview of the Phillies series.
Rain Wednesday but its still a sweep for the Mets. Brandon Nimmo is awesome, Pete Alonso broke out, and Sean Manaea and José Buttó breakdowns. Feels great to beat the Cardinals in front of those amazing fans, best in baseball truly. Then a prospect report checking in on the FCL Mets and some other sleeper prospects in the organization. We close it out with a preview of the Braves series with Foolish Baseball .
Really bad series by our Mets overshadowed a completely electric debut by Christian Scott. We get to Scott, and James waxes poetic, but we have to go over the bad stuff first. Pete Alonso is ice cold, the stolen bases against us are getting ridiculous, and Edwin Diaz still isn't quite Edwin Diaz yet. All not good, we take the temperature of each and see how scared we really should be. Then, full Christian Scott breakdown because he was filthy. Close the show with this week's Media Marvels with a hated Mets personality, Luis Arraez takes, and Marc's twitter fight with Eric Hosmer (rat).
Cubs series was crazy. Severino almost threw a no hitter, MLB doesn’t know what blocking the plate means, DJ Stewart is still great, our bullpen is best in the league, and Francisco Lindor is him. Also, Christian Scott is getting called up so we get excited about that and give our weekly prospect report with some sleepers in the Mets system
Shoutout Mark Vientos, avoided the sweep and made a huge case to stay in the lineup. We review the whole series including José Buttó's worst start in almost a year but James isn't worried, Adrian Houser's issues, Pete Alonso's 200th HR, five minutes of Knicks talk (sorry, we're excited and hate Philly), and Mets might have the best bullpen in baseball (actually). Then we run through our listener mailbag with lots of questions about Baty vs. Vientos, Christian Scott's ETA, and a look ahead to the trade deadline. Lastly, a preview of the Cubs series and reading your reviews. Shoutout you guys for lots of new reviews and some great support recently. Best listeners in the world seriously, I've met every other listener and if you're reading this you literally are the best.
Why do the Mets always play the weirdest series in San Francisco? Just bizarre games, thankfully we saved the week with a big win Wednesday but we talked about how cool/weird it is to see Wilmer Flores and Michael Conforto, Luis Severino still looking good, Reed Garrett saved my life, and encouraging signs from Jeff McNeil and Francisco Lindor. Then our weekly prospect report. Christian Scott is super him, Nolan McLean had his best appearance as a pro, more Jonah Tong and Alex Ramirez hype, and a new Mets pitching prospect to watch. Then, a preview of the Cardinals series this weekend (we hate them so much).
Great series in LA for the Mets as they take 2 of 3 games from the Dodgers. Francisco Lindor is swinging the bat much better, DJ Stewart hit some big Home Runs, Starling Marte is looking great and Reed Garrett is NASTY. Andy Martino tried to take down the legendary rally pimp Max, we remind you of some of his worst takes. Then we head to San Francisco to take on the Giants! LFGM Lets go Mets
Get the brooms out baby. Mets complete their first sweep in over a year and we're super pumped. Trying not to get ahead of ourselves, but this team might be g**d. James is getting addicted to come from behind wins and is ridiculously hype about the Mets bullpen starting with Reed Garrett but also some huge adjustments from Adam Ottavino and Drew Smith. Marc talks about the vibes in the park and again guys, we are jacked up. After, we do our weekly prospect report going through the entire Mets system from Blade Tidwell to Kevin Parada to Jesus Baez to Wilson Lopez to Luisangel Acuna. Lastly, a preview of this weekend's series against the Dodgers.
Fun Mets weekend! Luis Severino and Brett Baty led the charge on Friday while the few people in Citi Field gave Francisco Lindor an ovation. Sean Manaea had his first rough start and James tries to figure out why he struggled from the Moroccans desert. Sunday was all about Doc Gooden until it was all about José Buttó. That’s our guy. Plus new segment Media Marvels and Pirates preview.
What a series in Atlanta for the Mets. Honestly we are both shocked how well this turned out, had low expectations but the Mets shocked everyone including the Braves taking 2 out of 3 in the series. Brandon Nimmo went off, DJ Stewart owns the poverty Braves, Brett Baty continues to be great and the Mets pitching stepped up again in a big way. Mets fans should be pumped, great series back home against the Royals this weekend. We also dive deep into Mets pitching prospects Christian Scott, Calvin Ziegler, Brandon Sproat, Jonah Tong & Nolan Maclean in our propsect report!
Mets end up squeaking out a series win in Cincinnati against the Reds despite some questionable managerial decisions by Carlos Mendoza. Brett Baty is really starting to look like a great ballplayer, Francisco Lindor might be heating up, and the Mets pitching continues to look really good. These games were ugly, they were stressful but thats what we can expect from the 2024 Mets. Great series win, onto Atlanta to face the Braves!
Oh boy, this almost got real bad. It was still pretty bad. We talked about the Mets blowing the first two games of this series despite some great play from Brett Baty, Francisco Álvarez, Sean Manaea, and Adrian Houser including a few questionable decisions by Carlos Mendoza. Luckily, on the backs of José Butto, Reed Garrett, and Pete Alonso we finally got a win. Fun times. Also, a preview of the Reds series and analysis of Christian Scott's first start in AAA
Miserable weekend. Downright awful. We are not happy and talk about everything from the team's poor play to the Rhys Hoskins debacle to Luis Severino's start, and much more. Such an awful way to start the season.
METS BASEBALL IS BACK BABY. We talk everything from final roster cuts, most important players, story lines to watch, bold predictions, our favorite Mets futures bets, a really stupid draft between us, some Mets Twitter drama, and our general plans for the season. Long, stupid, fun, LFGM.
Mets have signed JD Martinez to a 1 year deal worth roughly $5m with money deferred for years after. This move is awesome for the team and we are pumped to give you our reactions to the news!
Christian Scott was so impressive we had to do an episode about it. Huge breakdown of his outing, his stuff, and when we think he'll debut with the Mets. Then some roster housekeeping like Tylor Megill being officially named SP5 and roster cut stuff. Lastly, is David Stearns a Mets fan? One Reddit user isn't so sure.
We’re buzzing over the Mets prospects from the breakout game, especially pitchers Brandon Sproat and Nolan McLean. Steve Cohen talked to the media and had some really funny sound bites while also saying nothing at all. We answer your questions about the batting order, prospects, and more!
Edwin Díaz is back JD Martinez might be in play, JD Davis might come home, Brandon Nimmo needs to hit leadoff, Pete Alonso shouldn’t hit clean-up, and prospects to watch on Friday during the Spring Breakout Game
Lots of fun Spring Training stories to get to.
Francisco Álvarez has been playing possessed and is already getting star treatment (03:39:24-07:38:22)
There's talk of taking Brandon Nimmo out of the lead-off spot and we don't like it (07:38:22-12:54:17)
All of our starters had great weeks including Luis Severino who likes super nice (12:54:17-25:57:21)
The bullpen is pretty exciting but there will be some tough decisions to make before Opening Day (25:57:21-34:36:10)
Mark Vientos, Pete Alonso, and a surprising prospect impressed us (34:36:10-40:28:18)
We preview the Spring Breakout game happening next Friday. Fun show! Baseball!!
Pete Alonso is one of the best power hitters in baseball but rumors are swirling like crazy about his future with the Mets. We break down what he's worth, what kind of contract he will probably get, and how good we expect him to be this season (hint, very good).
Trying something new this year and going to preview as many players on the team we can before the season! Starting with Francisco Lindor. We give him a lot of credit for being really good and talk about whether or not he's on track for the Hall of Fame.
Whole bunch of Spring Training stuff today. Luis Severino was throwing gas, Sean Manaea didn't look good but then cut his hair, and then a whole bunch of excitement from Christian Scott and Blade Tidwell. Then, looking into Starling Marte's return and where we want him to hit in the lineup this season. It's Spring baby baseball is almost back!
Tim Healey joins us from Port St. Lucie to tell you guys everything that has been going on in Mets camp. We talk Carlos Mendoza, Pete Alonso, Francisco Álvarez, Kodai Senga and much more. Plus, that time Mickey Callway and Jason Vargas went after Tim.
Spring Training is here, Mets baseball is back and we have a lot to discuss! Francisco Alvarez has looked amazing early in Spring, bound for a breakout season. Tylor Megill debuted his new splitter and it wouldnt be a Mets'd Up episode if we didnt get excited about Jose Butto in Spring Training!
SIGN UP FOR AURA
https://aura.com/metsdup
Kodai Senga will start the year on the injured list and could be out longer. We react to the news and think about where else the Mets can realistically find his replacement
Spring training is rumbling and we go through all news including Luke Voit and Ji-Man Choi signing, Harrison Bader playing center field, and the ongoing Pete Alonso saga (not actually a saga). Then, we figure out who is most important to the Mets this year between Kodai Senga, Francisco Álvarez, Luis Severino, Starling Marte, and some surprises.
Friend of the podcast Trevor May is back! He talks about everything from spring training vibes, Shintaro Fujinami, being part of the A’s, what players around the league think of the Mets, Billy Eppler’s suspension, and much more!
Big week everyone. The Mets added Jake Diekman and Shintaro Fujinami to their bullpen. I don't think any podcasters on earth are more excited about these two then us and we tell you everything you need to know about the Mets new relievers. Afterwards, we talk about whether or not an extension for Francisco Álvarez is realistic and what it would look like before lots of prospect talk. Each of our Top 10s for the Mets system and some shots at Keith Law's Top 100 that came out last week. Drew Gilbert at 100 GTFO Keith.
Packed episode today everyone. Adam Ottavino is back and we tell you what we think. Justin Turner went to the Blue Jays and we're breathing a sigh of relief. Then we break down the new MLB Pipeline Top 100 Prospects and where some Mets rank. Briefly, James talks about The Bat X and ATC projection systems that have come out and what they can tell us about the Mets season. Afterwards, a long discussion about why this offseason has sucked so far and end with a hilarious survey of Mets fans Tim Britton did over at the Athletic. Good fun.

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.

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.

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 his first career HR! On the pitching side, James has a big breakdown of Chris Bassitt and why he's getting fewer strikeouts and then the boys get deep on Jacob deGrom and may have uncovered the craziest stat ever. Interesting one, delirious before some real seriousness.

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 has come all the way back to tie the Esti-Met. You guys also get a glimpse into the boys day at MLB Network which is going to provide some GREAT bonus content on here. Lastly Marc, James, and Jon go around naming all the crazy Mets players that we've seen since the last playoff berth in 2016. There are some names.

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 his power stroke, and Eduardo Escobar stayed swinging a hot bat. Everyone pitched well too, what a series. This episode was kinda nuts though. After last week's zen, we had a bat in our studio. Not like a baseball bat, a bat-bat. Just listen, we swear.

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 again. We need to accept this bad energy, expell it, and accept some good stuff back. It's not good but it could be good again later. This one is not fun and very fun all at the same time.

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-Met after where Marc has come all the way back to one game behind James. Afterwards, we zoom out a bit and discuss the MLB rule changes and how we think the pitch clock, removal of the shift, larger bases, and pick-ff rules will affect the game. We also mix in some Braves hate talk, obviously. Let's get the Cubs!

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??

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

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 Scherzer Wednesday, ever heard of him?? We tease that interview PLUS introduce a new mascot/superstition for the boys that might become a thing...

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) retiring of Willie Mays' number! It was easy to forget that there were four actual baseball games that took place this weekend at Citi Field and of course we got deep into those as well. Mark Canha, Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, Max Scherzer, David Peterson, Jacob deGrom, and Seth Lugo all starred and we tell you how. We close with a preview of the BIG Dodgers series this week, get pumped.

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 preview and a little primer for the Mets first ever Old Timers Day!

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 series win. Now, time to get at those Yankees.

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 fine. We're on to Philadelphia

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 moments about Chase Utley, Bob Grich, or other old second basemen that aren't in the Hall of Fame. We are on to Atlanta (also, please note: Keith Hernandez is at the top of the guys' list of players who aren’t in the HOF but should be).

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, Francisco Álvarez, Brett Baty, and a few sleepers. Always a great time with Matt. We close with a preview of a very important Phillies series this weekend. Hope we see everyone at the ballpark for these games!

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.

Great weekend of Mets ball. Marc and James take you from Brandon Nimmo "cursing", to Carlos Carrasco dealing, to the offense going crazy on Sunday. We get a little off topic talking about Marc's weekend at the National Sports Collectors Convention and James' exciting Thursday night that had him too excited about the Tyler Naquin trade. Then we discuss trade rumors and give our takes on Juan Soto, JD Martinez, and Willson Contreras. The show ends with some very normal and relaxed conversation about Jacob deGrom's return after 13 long months. Get pumped!

The Mets swept the Yankees in their two-game series this week and only trailed for what felt like 5 minutes. Eduardo Escobar, Taijuan Walker, Adam Ottavino, and Edwin Diaz took control of game one in front of a LIVELY Citi Field. The stadium was seriously buzzing. Game 2 came with more drama that started with a Pete Alonso bomb, settled in with a Max Scherzer (birthday) gem, and ended with a Starling Marte walk-off hit. Unbelievable. The boys held nothing back and took just a few shots at the Yankees in our most fun episode to date. Let's GO!

Then, FINALLY the trade deadline talk everyone has been waiting for. Marc and James break down all the relievers and bats the Mets might be looking at ahead of the deadline from JD Martinez to Joe Mantiply and everyone in between. We bring you home with a huge preview of this weeks Subway Series and talk a little bit about those Yankees. Get excited.

Bittersweet series again this weekend in Chicago. The Mets crushed the Cubs on Thursday and then scratched and clawed their way through the weekend to win another series. Max Scherzer had an unreal moment with Ian Happ, Eduardo Escobar made some clutch plays, Taijuan Walker stayed hot, and David Peterson continues to grow before our eyes. Of course, the other big news from the weekend was Juan Soto being placed on the trade block. The guys shared a few jokes before taking a genuine look at where the Mets stand in their pursuit of Soto and what a trade package would have to look like. Lastly, Marc and James break down the draft picks of Kevin Parada, Jett Williams, and Blade Tidwell from the MLB Draft. Packed episode to send you into the All-Star Break!

This was a big one. You knew it, we knew it, and the Mets delivered. Max Scherzer set the tone game one with a dominant performance along with Luis Guillorme. Spencer Strider and the Braves bullpen got us back game two despite another stellar outing by David Peterson. Chris Bassitt and Fransisco Lindor held it down in game three to give the Mets a very impressive series win over their bitter rivals. We also sprinkle in some trade chatter, MLB Draft buzz, little breakfast talk, and close with a preview of the Cubs Series. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Interesting series with the Marlins this weekend. The offense got hot and then immediately cold again. JD Davis and the bottom of the order had a big Thursday but newly minted Mets-Killer Bryan De La Cruz had our number on Friday. The boys were both in attendance for Keith Hernandez Day on Saturday and it was incredible weather, ceremony, and eventual dramatic Mets victory. Sunday kinda stunk, whatever, but there's a big Braves series ahead and we spent plenty of time previewing that as well as talking about Marc's college habits, Stranger Things, and other general nonsense. Fun episode! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
The Mets take care of business in Cincinnati where they earn another series win. Taijuan Walker received plenty of run support in the game one win as he continues to roll. The Mets dropped a heartbreaker in game two, but Max Scherzer returned from the injured list on Tuesday and dominated with 11 walks and no strikeouts in six scoreless innings. Then we had a CRAZY comeback win on Wednesday (the boys were buzzing). Otherwise, we had some 4th of July and Joey Chestnut talk after another dominant Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest and a preview of the Marlins series. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Mets got back on track with a big series win over the Rangers. Eduardo Escobar powered the offense with a homer in all three games of the series while David Peterson and Carlos Carrasco gave awesome efforts in their starts. Marc and James break down each game with tons of cool stats and stories from the weekend. Then, there's some talk about Jacob deGrom's first rehab start (34:10), Max Scherzer's return (36:33), and Francisco Álvarez's promotion to Triple-A (37:54). The guys wrap up the show with a preview of the Cincinnati Reds series (40:00). Happy 4th! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Rough series everyone. Carlos Carrasco had another rough start against the Astros…Yordan Álvarez is a menace. Then Justin Verlander barely outlasted Taijuan Walker in one of the best pitching duels of the season. Edwin Díaz was electric again but Drew Smith gave up the big one. Upsetting, but it happens. Then, we move into our Prospect Report and focus on Francisco Álvarez, Ronny Mauricio, and Brett Baty. We end with a very thorough preview of the rarely seen Texas Rangers and break down their oddly interesting roster. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Bittersweet is the word here. The Mets slayed Sandy Alcantara on Friday night behind Francisco Lindor's heroics and Buck Showalter’s incredibly thorough knowledge of the rule book. Then Pete Alonso and Chris Bassitt carried us to a win on Saturday, but the possible sweep faded away on Sunday despite David Peterson continuing his hot streak and Brandon Nimmo continuing to play incredible baseball. Good series, but bittersweet. Oh, and Luis Guillorme is a freak and Edwin Díaz threw a baseball 103 (102.6) mph. Let's get the Astros.

This was a rough series for our Mets. First time all year being swept (but two games so not really). Yordan Álvarez and José Altuve made it tough on Trevor Williams. Then Kyle Tucker got to Chasen Shreve, that happens. Wednesday was rough too with Carlos Carrasco allowing 4 runs before recording an out, oof. The Mets did battle in this one and showed the type of grit that has made them so good all year. We tried to pull as many positives out of this as possible. Afterward, we break down Max Scherzer's rehab start with Binghamton and his comments that spurned a fun minor league team names draft. Then we jump into our listener mailbag and started talking about some trade candidates. The episode closes with a preview of the upcoming Marlins series and another date with Sandy Alcantara.

The Mets finished off their long West Coast swing with another series victory. They held the Angels in check and are heading back home on the right foot. Tylor Megill returned on Friday and James was encouraged by his performance. Brandon Nimmo got on track, Pete Alonso and Starling returned from their injuries to get a few big hits, Jeff McNeil and Luis Guillorme showed off their wide array of defensive skills, and Taijuan Walker hurled a gem on Sunday Night Baseball. However, Edwin Díaz's 8th inning punch-out of Mike Trout was the premier moment from that game. After the breakdowns, Marc has a bunch of fun '100th Episode' stats and trivia to celebrate our milestone. The show ends with a fun listener mailbag and preview of the Brewers series.

Tough one this week. The Mets lost their series of the year at the hands of the Padres and it could have been a whole lot worse. Pete Alonso and Starling Marte each left Tuesday's game, but each appear to hopefully be ok. Keep those fingers crossed. Otherwise, Eduardo Escobar hit for the first Mets cycle in more than a decade (shout-out Scott Hairston) on Monday and Carlos Carrasco twirled another gem. That's about it though lol. With a not-so-great-series, we have our deepest prospect report in a while and discuss Mets prospects from Francisco Álvarez to José Butto to Wyatt Young to Javier Atencio.

Wow. What a series in LA against the Dodgers. First the Mets were down, and then they came all the way back for a series split that had playoff vibes. Francisco Lindor got his finger caught in a door and then came back to have some nice games. Pete Alonso looked like the MVP front-runner. Starling Marte stayed hot, Jeff McNeil threw his helmet, Max Scherzer was bit by his dog, Jacob deGrom threw a bullpen, Edwin Diaz pitched the 8th inning, David Peterson got yanked mid-batter, David Roberts didn't know all the rules, Colin Cowherd had a bad tweet. This was a crazy weekend in Mets Land and we cover it all right here.

Great series. The bats came out hot with huge performances from Luis Guillorme, Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil, Mark Canha, Tomás Nido, and of course Starling Marte who is blazing hot. David Peterson didn't look great and James dives in to why he struggled. Wednesday was hilarious too with Carlos Carrasco's dad in the building and Gary, Keith, and Ron having a grand ol' time. This week also marked the 10 year anniversary of Johan Santana's no-hitter, Marc and James each talk a little about what that meant to themselves and the Mets overall. We have a listener mailbag where we discuss the Mets upcoming roadtrip, Dallas Keuchel, Nick Plummer, and ballpark food before closing out with the Dodgers series preview.

The New York Mets just completed their first sweep of the season against the Philadelphia Phillies which pushes their NL East Division lead to 10.5 games over Philly! Pete Alonso continues to own the city of Philadelphia and make a case for MVP talks. Francisco Lindor is really good so of course he had another great series. Jeff McNeil soared like an eagle around the bases after hitting a big HR in game 2 and we even saw Nick Plummer hit a game tying HR in the bottom of the 9th for his first MLB hit. Mets pitching continues to shine with great performances from Chris Bassitt, Carlos Carrasco & Taijuan Walker. Mets are good, really good and continue to dominate the NL East division!

The Mets had an action-packed series in San Francisco. David Peterson looked really good again which is awesome and we had one of the craziest games in recent baseball memory on Tuesday with our massive comeback and Joc Pederson's heroics. Otherwise, Pete Alonso hit another dinger, Starling Marte stayed hot, Eduardo Escobar may have gotten hot, and wow shocker Francisco Lindor is really good. The pitching depth is not looking great though and that's even scarier with Drew Smith and Edwin Díaz struggling during game 2. Shoutout Stephen Nogosek though, legend.

The snow subsided in time for the Mets to get all three games in against the Rockies and win another series. Starling Marte hit a HR in his first game back in an emotionally charged moment. Carlos Carrasco had another very good starts and James points to an interesting adjustment he made. Luis Guillorme was all over the diamond this weekend, Francisco Lindor too. Good team baseball. Afterwards, we do a listener mailbag where we discussed Chris Bassitt, replacements for Max Scherzer, trade options for DH, a potential Met contender for the batting title, and another Bartolo Colon rumor

Wow, what an eventful week for the Mets. The games went great! We handled the Cardinals with relative ease and took 3 out of 4. Pete Alonso mashed some big home runs, Jeff McNeil stayed hit, Luis Guillorme and Mark Canha were getting on base, Chris Bassitt looked good, we got lots of help from guys like Trevor Williams, Jake Reed, and Adonis Medina, this was an all-hands on deck series and it showed. Francisco Lindor had a good series too, despite what some fans want to believe. However, the big news from this week is Max Scherzer being out 6-8 weeks with an oblique strain. We gave some possible replacement options though and try to stay positive during this sad time. Bad news, good series, great episode.

The Mets lost their first series of the year which is sad but Max Scherzer pitched well and Francisco Lindor started to heat up. Drew Smith and Chasen Shreve also looked mortal for the first time all season which is sad but Edwin Diaz reminded everyone how good he is. The Mariners are a pesky bunch though with Jesse Winker and Paul Sewald having fun with Mets fans even though some people (Marc) think Sewald took things too far. Carlos Carrasco also got touched up which is scary with the news of Tylor Megill heading to the IL. Thankfully Chris Bassitt is still rocking and rolling. What a jam-packed episode

Pete Alonso has a 2 Home Run game which propelled the Mets to a series win, Francisco Lindor is finally breaking out of his slump along with Starling Marte & Brandon Nimmo being hit machines to start the month of May.

We talked extensively about Showalter and Espada last week so James sheds some knowledge on Quatraro's background and explains why he would be a good fit. The Mets also keep hiring new members to their Research and Development team and we touch on that. Next, the MiLB draft was last week and we scout the new players. I told you, things are slow. Last but definitely not least, we decided we wanted to do a draft. While an all-time Mets team was a little bit too easy, we decided to draft a team of the 'most Mets Mets ever'. Yeah, you heard me.

James took a journey through Baseball-Reference and found 7 relievers who have seasons most similar to Loup and showed why it is unlikely the king of Busch Lite can repeat his success to that extent. Afterward, we get deep into the Japanese phenom Seiya Suzuki and talk about what kind of player he currently is in Japan and just how it will translate to the major leagues. We learn a lot about Hideki Matsui during this segment, that guy was criminally underrated. We close the show by trying to figure out just what the Mets were thinking in letting some of their minor league depth go last week when 40 man rosters were due. Hint, we are not sure.

It's hard to tell because he contradicts himself every couple of weeks. Lucky you, we spend about 25 minutes outlining each of his recent contradictions, hope you like it! After we got that out of our system, we continued with our player grades and took a look at Dom Smith, Taijuan Walker, Carlos Carrasco, James McCann, and Tylor Megill.

Then we dive back into our player grades giving out marks for Edwin Díaz, Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimmo, and Seth Lugo. James really breaks down where Lugo struggled this season and how he can instantly regain his 2019 form, fantastic content here.

So awful, just terrible. The Mets were swept by the Brewers this weekend and did not even make it competitive. They couldn't hit, field, or pitch in a brutal display of apathetic baseball. Such a shame to have seen this team fall so hard and so fast. Javy and Lindor are still hitting, same with Nimmo, but that's it. Gary and Keith let their opinion be known this weekend and we discuss that for a little bit. Also, Noah Syndergaard's weird rehab, the Kyle Boddy rumors, and number retirements. Woo

You thought the Mets are dead? Well, they are really D E A D. We break down a listless series in Boston and dive into Marcus Stroman's rough outing, Taijuan Walker's struggles, and Pete's climb towards 40 home runs. Afterwards, we dive into our top 15 Mets prospects (24:14) starting with Francisco Álvarez all the way to some 17-year-olds I am sure you've never heard of. James brings the heat for this segment, you don't want to miss it! We close out with our Brewers preview (yikes) and then answer some of your questions on Twitter (1:02:05).

Lather, rinse, repeat. This Mets team cannot score any runs and their season has fallen by the wayside because of that tragic flaw. Zack Wheeler crushed us on Friday and Aaron Nola did it again on Saturday. Who could have ever seen that coming? Oh yeah, and Brad Hand found a way to botch an inning in each affair. Great series, just splendid. After dissecting the games, we talk about the increasing momentum of Billy Beane coming to the Mets and the litany of reports linking the two. Marc talks about what Bob Melvin could bring this bullpen while James talks about Beane's strengths and weaknesses before revealing a dark-horse candidate for the President of Baseball Operations who has not yet been publicized.

Bad series. Really bad series. One of the WORST series the Mets played all season. We break down every game and wallow in our sadness for the season probably finally being over. James breaks down Adam Wainwright and shares a hidden reason about how and why he is still able to pitch at such a high level. Marc let's Albert Almora have it and both of our patience with Luis Rojas is beginning to wear thin. One silver-lining, Marcus Stroman is a marvel and James describes how he has been so dominant and whether it can last through 2022 and beyond. More jokes this episode because we're sad. We're all just dust in the wind anyway.

Massive series this weekend. One of the most fun this season, no doubt about it. We break down all three games including Friday's wire-to-wire domination, Saturday's chaos, and Sunday's drama. James offers some reasons for optimism regarding Carlos Carrasco while Marc throws hate on the Yankees every chance he gets. Later, we gush over Francisco Lindor and hope everyone FINALLY realizes the type of player we have here. If you don't James' Bad Mets Take of the week revisits a June article from the Washington Post explaining why Francisco Lindor is worse than Chris Davis. No, really.

Most importantly, Andrew Stevenson can legit kick rocks.

Tough series in Los Angles. We knew it would be tough, but man was it tough. We break down every game for you because that's what we do. Every single frustrating at-bat, decision, strike call, and missed opportunity. This Dodgers team is full of great, underappreciated players from top to bottom and James gets deep on exactly why their roster construction is so brilliant and how it gives them a leg up with in-season transactions. Of course, we pull some positives like the play of Pete Alonso, Carlos Carrasco, Marcus Stroman, and Brandon Nimmo. More so, we break down what contract negotiations will look like for those last two guys. After the games, we answer some of YOUR questions that were sent on Twitter. We discuss playing time for our fringe starters once Lindor is activated (sorry Dom Smith), what the Mets should do with Michael Conforto, whether or not we still have a shot in the division, and what the Mets' offseason might look like. James is positive, Marc is negative, and fun is had by all.

We heap praise on Marcus Stroman and Tylor Megill because those two studs deserve our gratitude. Bad Take of the Week comes back because we have a lot to say about Tim Healey. What a nerd loser. We also talk about what Steve Cohen tweeted on Thursday because that was a huge deal. After the Giants recap, we have our interview with Ronny Mauricio. It was amazing to talk to such a talented prospect and he shares some insight into life in Brooklyn, his game, and what position he sees himself playing in the future.

Yikes, rough series against the Dodgers. James was in the ballpark on Friday and had a whole lot to say about the lineup, laser pointer, atmosphere and result. We are also totally done with James McCann and tell you why. It wasn’t all bad though. The bullpen was great and Taijuan Walker stepped up, we just still can’t hit at all. Sunday was a joke.

What a crazy series against the Nationals. There was SO MUCH to talk about between the rain, Rich Hill running, Brandon Nimmo hitting ropes, more rain, Edwin Diaz's heroics, more rain, Marcus Stroman's strong start, and Pete Alonso's HUGE home run. We break it down from beginning to end. Later, we bring on our first guest ever, Jaylen Palmer from the Cyclones! We talked to Jaylen in Brooklyn last week and he shared a little bit about himself, his game, and what it's like to be a minor leaguer.

Yikes....if you thought the last episode was bad get ready for a whole new level. We scrapped our normal game-by-game format to just vent about the awful weekend in Mets Land. Marc ripped Michael Conforto, James ripped Dom Smith, and AJ Pollock was mentioned more than a few times for some reason. We really ask the question of whether or not this team has enough to make the Postseason and hope everyone can see just how important Francisco Lindor is/was to this team.

Wow...we'll call this a 'Wilpon Week' because the vibes are down on the episode. We start out with a Trade Deadline recap.

Then, the games. The guys were in attendance Friday and Sunday and might have just whole jinxed the team (really James is the jinx but you'll hear more about that). This series was so bad it broke our brains and you will listen to us try and figure out who the Mets played last weekend. No, really. After we rant about Anthony Banda, Geoff Hartleib, Michael Conforto, and Luis Rojas, we break down the Kumar Rocker situation.

Kyle Muller and Austin Riley are officially Rat F*cks, Tylor Megill stayed hot, and Jeff McNeil has finally turned a corner. That's all great, but we cannot think about anything but WHO the Mets are going to get before Friday's deadline. We spend some talking about Kumar Rocker's contract dispute and whether we think a deal will actually get done with the 10th overall pick and just how we have gotten to this point.
