After a holiday week break, Grace is back with some news to talk about. She gets into the major news around the league, a few free agent signings and some postings from Japan, plus a bit on Shohei Ohtani. She also discusses the minor amounts of Mets news from the past couple of weeks, but nothing too exciting.
Then, she does her promised A League of Their Own chat (the movie, not the show). She has a free form talk about one of her favorite films, discussing the cast, the direction, the script, and the costuming. She also talks about the duality of the movie and show, and Penny Marshall's importance in film history.
Finally, she talks about the recent Scream VII news that's been all over the place, and talks about the Hollywood Blacklist of the 1950s. And finally, she does a double movie minute (to make up for being off last week), one to close out Noirvember and one to kickstart the holiday season.

It's been a little week for baseball news but the extra two days Grace took to record this episode gave her a little more to work with. The manager merry-go-round ended with Mendoza leading the Mets, and even more shocking results elsewhere. Mendoza seems fine now but no one can know until the Mets take the field in 2024.And some reports are starting to create multiple pictures of what that Mets team might look like, for better or worse.
Then, with nothing much else to talk about, Grace gets into a topic she is very passionate about: the NWSL championship game played this weekend. Gotham has won their first trophy, and the first championship for the city (and its surrounding area) in over a decade. Grace gets into the nitty-gritty of the game and all the juicy, drama-filled storylines running throughout it. Let's go Bats!
Finally, Grace pitches an idea for a segment next week, and it requires you, dear listener, to be a passive (or active if you want) part of it. So go find your closest streaming/physical media copy of the film version of A League of Their Own and let's get to work. And finally, a movie minute featuring an all-time for Grace, in continuation of Noirvember 2023.
Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingisBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com! If you have any thoughts on A League of Their Own, make sure to send them ahead of next week's episode!

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the Carlos Mendoza hire, the Craig Counsell saga, and the Brewers’ down-bad reaction to the Craig Counsell saga. We also shout out Kodai Senga for coming in second in the NL Rookie of the Year voting and Francisco Lindor for winning a Silver Slugger.
Next, we talk about Metropolitan Park—Steve Cohen’s vision for the future of the area around Citi Field—and why we think it’s a positive for the Mets and the community.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

The Rangers have won the World Series, and the 2023 MLB season is officially a wrap! Grace discusses the end of the World Series, and her inability to predict anything. The fan reaction in Texas is tremendous, and who knows when there will be another first time winner. Grace also touches on the ridiculousness of complaining about television ratings as fans.
Then, Grace goes into the Mets offseason, with the manager spot being the most pressing concern. This episode was recorded prior to the Counsell/Mendoza news breaking, so she clearly has no idea what’s coming. She touches on some minor moves the team has made thus far, and what they could be looking at in free agency, both for open spots and to improve in other places.
Finally, Grace begins concretely thinking about what the offseason will look like for the podcast, and the balance between baseball coverage, queer news, and movie stuff will look like in the drier months. Finally, another Noirvember movie minute, with an impromptu double feature recommendation.

Grace leads off the episode talking about the first two games of the World Series. There's great stories, great performances, and a terrible joke from Justin Verlander's brother. Where it goes from here, who knows?
Then a switch to some general sports news. First, the Pride Tape ban has been repealed! Thanks to the courage of Travis Dermott, and the ineptitude of the NHL, the ban lasted not even a single game and now players can do as they please (with regards to their stick tape) yet again. Then, in a more downer note, Dwight Howard has been accused of sexual assault, but because it's a man accusing him people have lost their collective minds. There's thoughts on the nature of rape jokes and culture when it comes to the straight perspective on gay issues, and also the bonkers take from Deadspin that these assault allegations are ruining a big moment for LGBTQ athletes.
Finally, a multi-minute, multi-movie movie minute! First, Grace talks about the joy of seeing Academy Award nominee and hot upcoming star Paul Mescal in a Mets hat. She recommends a movie of his and a movie of the OG Mets hat movie star king Leonardo DiCaprio. Then Grace wraps up with her real movie minute, one that kicks off the start of the so-called "Noirvember."

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the latest on Craig Counsell, who is reportedly “serious” about his interest in the Mets’ managing job. We also talk about the latest reporting on the investigation into the Mets, potential front office hires, and the fact that Tommy Pham can’t seem to stop talking about the Mets.
Next, we talk about the World Series, the fireworks from the ALCS, and Dusty Baker’s retirement.
We also react live to Mookie Betts’ comments about Trevor Bauer, which emerged while we were recording the show.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

It's another boring playoff week, but a bit of Mets news gives Grace something to talk about. There's a bit of manager news, some awards and nominations, and a former Met retirement. Plus a lot of Grace struggling to remember past World Series winners for some frat radio content.
Then, Grace takes a look at the two playoff series running at the time of recording. The ALCS with its drama between Adolis García and Bryan Abreu, and Grace takes a stand on FIB's rooting interests in the series. And the NLCS with a fun back and forth between the Phillies and Diamondbacks. Grace then takes a stand on the Phillies' song choice for their playoff run.
Finally, Grace looks ahead at what the show can do post-playoffs, with a long winter ahead. And since Grace is bad at math and reading calculators, you get two movie minutes for the price of one to celebrate the end of October.

In the midst of the playoffs there's no Mets news, so Grace pivots to general baseball coverage and talks about the playoffs to this point. Two LCS's with stories on the road to them, and how the teams stack up. Grace also has a (somewhat) shameful admission about the 2023 Phillies, so try not to get too worked up about it.
Then, Grace looks at some big stories from the week. Alyssa Nakken became the first woman considered for a managerial position in MLB! Of course there's sexist backlash but who cares? Kim Ng resigned, and good for her for knowing her worth. Then, Grace discusses the NHL ban on Pride Tape and how stupid the NHL is to create a backlash that was wholly unnecessary. But homophobia isn't based in logic, is it?
Final, a third act all about Grace's movie minute, which starts as a celebration of a film and then turns to a slight dissection of late-00s media culture and the depiction of women therein, a celebration fo three women who deserve their flowers, and Grace listing every movie she's ever seen (just about).

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing Billy Eppler’s resignation and the investigation into the Mets for improper use of the injured list. We also talk about Pete Alonso changing agents and Francisco Lindor’s surgery to remove a bone spur from his elbow.
Next, we talk about the playoffs, including the soft behavior demonstrated by the Braves in the NLDS and the lamentable fact that there are really no teams remaining we’re interested in rooting for.
We also cover Jerry Dipoto’s recent comments, Kim Ng’s departure from the Marlins, Alyssa Nakken becoming the first woman to interview for an MLB manager position, and the MLBPA filing an amicus brief supporting overturning MLB’s antitrust exemption.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Grace anticipated a light week of Mets news, but she forgot that the Mets have always been deranged. There's a "leak" (wonder who from) about infighting between Buck Showalter and Eppler, Eppler's bizarre resignation and investigation, and even some Pete Alonso rumors!
Then, after the first full week of the playoffs, Grace has some thoughts! Wild Card series discourse, which teams look good, which teams looked bad, which teams needed more pitching (exactly who you're thinking).
Finally, playoff predictions turn into a rant on teams not retaining homegrown stars and what that does to fanbases...no idea how it ended up there. And a horror-adjacent movie minute, but it's not scary this time!

The Mets season might have ended, but the fun has only just begun! Grace has a lot to cover this week, starting with Buck Showalter’s dismissal. Where do the Mets go from here, and what is his legacy? Then, on a lighter note, David Stearns is home! Grace sifts through the good and better of Sterns introductory press conference, and where the Mets can go from here.
In the second act, Grace shifts her eye to the baseball community at large. The Orioles are staying Baltimore which is great! But why could Manfred back Baltimore and not Oakland? At what point does years matter in terms of staying put? Then, unfortunately, more major league homophobia courtesy of Hector Neri’s. Maybe? Nothing’s been confirmed, but the vibe certainly seems to be he said something bad! And J-Rod’s mad now!
Finally, Grace asks an important pod question—who do we, as Met fans root for in the playoffs? So many teams have connections with the Mets (and some with Flushing is Burning itself) that it’s hard to figure it out. And, to end the show, Grace has a movie minute in honor of the first week of October.

This week, we begin by discussing Buck Showalter’s firing and his Mets legacy. We then cover David Stearns’ introductory presser and what it means to have people in charge who are Mets fans. We also do a bit of a post mortem on the 2023 Mets.
Next, we talk about the deaths of two baseball legends—Tim Wakefield and Brooks Robinson—and how the discussion of the former is marred by Curt Schilling’s despicable actions.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

It's been so long since we've talked Mets, they got a new POBO! Grace, in her first solo show, discusses David Stearns' hiring, potential moves he could make, and the expectations fans should have/temper. Then, a little 2023 Mets discussion, but how much is there really to say at this point?
Then, Grace goes over all the general baseball news the show missed! The Padres have internal beef! Where does it start, where does it end, who's responsible and for how much? The Angels have drama with all their star players and are on track to have a franchise-defining offseason. And there's a serious discussion of Julio Urias and the privilege of a major league career not being a right for those who commit crimes.
Finally, a brief Mike Trout trade thought discussion, and Grace's movie minute that really burns down the house (wink wink).

Christian and Grace finish their last show together this year talking about fandom, the responsibilities of an impartial sports media, and supporting teams thousands of miles away from where they live. It’s not all about the Mets, but then again, it is always about the Mets, isn’t it?
Grace will continue the podcast as a solo host next week as the show evolves in a new direction. Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingIsBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com.

One month ago, the Mets were seven games out of a Wild Card spot and executed baseball's biggest firesale with the supposed intention of tanking the season. And now, the Mets are still seven games out of a Wild Card spot. Is this the worst possible scenario?
And because the Mets news isn't all that interesting nowadays, Grace dedicates a segment to the streaking New York Liberty, who are vying for the top seed in the WNBA playoffs. Will the Libs deliver New York its first WNBA title? What sort of impact has seafoam green had on New York's basketball scene? Is this going to become a basketball podcast?
And finally, Grace and Christian discuss MLB rule changes impacting the playoffs and a truly wild movie sweeping the nation.

Shohei Ohtani torched the Mets only days after finding out he suffered a torn UCL. That isn’t really a Mets story, except maybe it kinda is? And while it’s a little gross to ask, do the Mets benefit at all from Ohtani’s career-changing injury?
Grace and Christian also discuss Kodai Senga and José Quintana as the not-bad one-two punch for the Mets’ pitching staff. Is this a top-of-the-rotation that Mets fans can be excited about for 2024?
They also praise the Mets for announcing number retirement ceremonies for Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden, both long overdue and well-deserved for two franchise legends. And speaking of legendary, Grace discusses what she believes to be George Lucas’s finest movie.

This week, we begin by discussing the Mets, dare we say it, actually playing well over the past week. We also chat about the Pete Alonso ball toss “controversy.”
Next, we cover the small nuggets of information we are learning about the investigation into Wander Franco, none of which are good. We also discuss the latest word salad from Orioles owner John Angelos and wonder why that man is ever allowed to speak to the media.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
This week, Brian and Chris discuss how the Mets are not good enough at tanking, but not good enough at baseball, and so are in this very strange middle ground in terms of the season record. The lack of a Major League Ronny Mauricio is, again, brought up as well.
Chris’s Music Pick:
Parliament - Mothership Connection
Brian’s Music Pick:
Frank Zappa - Apostrophe (‘)

Welcome to Flushing is Burning, a weekly podcast hosted by Grace Carbone and Christian Romo that examines the Mets, queer issues, and the occasional intersection of the two.
Now that the Mets are playing for 2024 and beyond, Grace and Christian discuss what tanking means for those still invested in the 2023 Mets. And while it’s not a fun discussion, it still leads to thankfulness for those narrating the way through the rest of the season.
They also talk about some Justin Verlander gossip leaked to the New York Post, as well as speculate on which Mets player could have been behind the leak. And while they couldn’t find an easy transition, they also touch on the Wander Franco accusations.
Also, Christian watched Asteroid City! He has some thoughts, and Grace dives into a movie this week that is the complete opposite of Asteroid City.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by talking about the truly heinous lineup the Mets put forward against the Braves in Game 1 of Saturday’s doubleheader and debate whether it’s worse than the 2015 lineup in which John Mayberry Jr. batted cleanup.
We then discussed an encouraging piece by Ken Rosenthal in The Athletic that indicated that the Mets do plan to spend money in the offseason. It also contained the framework for a potential Pete Alonso extension, which we wholeheartedly support in spite of unfounded allegations that Alonso is a clubhouse cancer.
In our baseball segment this week, we talk about recent comments by Athletics team president Dave Kaval and disturbing allegations that Wander Franco engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a minor.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
This week, Brian and Chris begin to look ahead to next season with a discussion of the Mets’ unknown infield situation and discuss how the team is more watchable than it was a week earlier. Of course, this was recorded before an utterly disastrous doubleheader, so take all of this with a grain of salt the size of Mr. Met’s head.
Chris’s Music Pick:
Lee Ranaldo - Between the Times and the Tides
Brian’s Music Pick:
The Band - The Last Waltz

After an eventful sell-off, the Mets do not seem motivated to continue competing. But Grace and Christian spend a lot of time figuring out reasons to continue watching, even if a last-place finish in the division remains a reality.
They also say goodbye to Mark Canha and reflect on his time in New York and his impact on MLB clubhouses. New York's loss is Milwaukee's gain, and they'll always remember the big, beautiful ally fondly.
Lastly, they examine what the heck is going on with New York's other baseball team, and Grace finally convinces Christian to watch a movie. And it's even on Peacock!

This week, we begin by discussing the remaining trades that happened since we recorded last week: the Justin Verlander trade, the Tommy Pham trade, and the shuffling of bullpen arms. We talk about Starling Marte’s injury and Brett Baty’s demotion to Triple-A.
In our baseball segment this week, we talk about the Yankees, who are somehow even more embarrassing than the Mets right now. Similarly, the White Sox have devolved further into chaos.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to Flushing is Burning, the latest addition to the Home Run Applesauce family of podcasts, hosted by Grace Carbone and Christian Romo. Flushing is Burning is a weekly podcast examining the Mets, queer issues, and the occasional intersection of the two.
The vibes are rarely good around a team choosing to sell at the trade deadline, but they were especially bad around the Mets this week. The David Robertson and Max Scherzer trades brought impressive prospect hauls, but did they come at a bigger cost? Christian and Grace discuss.
They also look at the realistic options for this team heading into the 2024 season now that 2023 looks lost. But even though the Mets won’t likely win the World Series this season, there still are some fun things to keep track of over the season’s final two months.
And for Grace’s move minute: Last week was Barb-, and this week is -enheimer! Grace said it was anxiety-inducing and overwhelming and also the best movie she’s seen this year. Christian has doubts.

After a decent first half of July, the Mets continue to be mathematically in the playoff race. But does that really mean they’re in a pennant chase? Grace and Christian discuss.
They also give a shoutout to Kevin Maxen, Jacksonville Jaguars assistant coach, who recently came out as gay. Christian discusses his conflicted feelings on how much of a non-story this was, while Grace praises the NFL for lapping the competition on queer issues.
Also, Barbenheimer? Well, just Barbie, really. But also a secret third movie that people should be paying attention to.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ first series win in a month and improvements in the rotation, mostly Verlander and Scherzer pitching more like themselves and David Peterson getting better results.
We also talk about Pete Alonso being named to the All-Star Game and participating in the Home Run Derby, the rather damning things J.D. Davis had to say about the Mets organization, and the trade the Mets made with the Mariners this week.
Next, we talk about Domingo Germán’s no-hitter, which cannot be discussed without talking about his abuse. We highlight two articles we think covered this topic well—one from friend of the pod Jen Mac Ramos at Defector and another from Kyle Kishimoto at FanGraphs.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Grace and Christian talk about a Mets team that looks awfully close to rock bottom, so says Gary Cohen. Can they find a flotation device? Are they still in a pennant chase?
They also recap what is hopefully the end of the Anthony Bass saga in Toronto, as well as share a delightfully simple story out of rookie ball. Anderson Comas, we're sorry for calling you Alexander!
And finally, Grace and Christian argue about Booksmart. Maybe argue is strong--disagree is a better word.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin with the Mets, who continue to stink and are now without Pete Alonso to boot. But at least they got a new team dog!
Next, we talk about the effect that the smog caused by the Canada wildfires had on MLB and the effect that climate change will continue to have on sports.
We also discuss the Blue Jays’ bungling of the Anthony Bass situation, a column about the all-female Portland Sea Dogs broadcast team, and the recent layoffs at The Athletic.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to Flushing is Burning, the latest addition to the Home Run Applesauce family of podcasts, hosted by Grace Carbone and Christian Romo. Flushing is Burning is a weekly podcast examining the Mets, queer issues, and the occasional intersection of the two.
This week, Grace and Christian look over how exactly Mets’ pitching got hot at the same time the offense got cold. There’s reason to be optimistic about this team’s World Series potential, even if the record may not indicate the same.
They also talk about comments from Anthony Bass, Clayton Kershaw, and Blake Treinen and wonder what the purpose of an ally can be in MLB. And just when June couldn’t get any worse for MLB, Lou Gehrig Day passed with even less fanfare than Pride.

This week, we begin by discussing the impotent Mets offense, with the exception of Mark Canha, who is thriving now that it is Pride Month and the Mets have played the Phillies. We also talk about the Mets’ decision to designated Tomás Nido for assignment.
Next, we talk about the decline of Noah Syndergaard’s career post-Tommy John surgery and what could have been.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the past week in Mets baseball, in which the Mets lost two series to last place teams, thus eviscerating the good vibes from the week before. But we did also chat about this fun article in The Athletic about Buck Showalter’s fashion choices.
Next, we talk about players responding to the Dodgers re-inviting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to their Pride celebration. Clayton Kershaw specifically organized a Christian Faith and Family night in response and former Met Trevor Williams tweeted a statement in which he expressed his offense about the Sisters’ inclusion. We also discussed Anthony Bass’ recent bigoted social media exploits and subsequent apology and the Astros punching down at A’s fans on Twitter.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

They also investigate the continued Pride Night fiasco in Los Angeles, a new target in the culture war, and a strange stadium rendering in Las Vegas. Are the A's really going to move?

Twenty-one years ago, Mike Piazza told assembled media at Veterans Stadium that he was not gay in reaction to rumors published in the New York Post. That event had huge ramifications in baseball and continues to haunt a league still struggling with homophobia.
Grace and Christian discuss how that event transpired, as well as examine the Dodgers' Pride Night fiasco and the solidarity in LA's queer community. They also talk about the Mets' winning streak, Pete Alonso's pelvic thrusts, and how terrified Christian was about Grace going viral.

Next, we talk about the possible relationship between the pitch clock and pitching injuries, whatever it is the Cardinals are doing, and the drama between the Yankees and Blue Jays. We also shout out Britt Ghiroli’s fantastic piece in The Athletic about mental health in baseball.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
If you want to purchase the t-shirt Linda Surovich help inspire that was her Walk-off Win this week, you can do so here. All proceeds benefit Baseball for All.

The Mets are under .500 and the issues look pretty clear. Are they fixable? Grace and Christian discuss. They also wish Billy Bean (not the Moneyball one) a happy 59th birthday and examine his playing career and his role for LGBT baseball fans, as well as his tenuous connections to the Mets, including incidents with Mike Piazza and Daniel Murphy. They also field a special listener question (okay it's Christian's partner) about the purpose of the on-deck circle and start wondering what else about baseball might warrant an examination.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the terrible, no good, very bad week of Mets baseball, especially the pitching staff performing historically poorly. We also talk about Max Scherzer potentially pitching through an injury and Brett Baty and Francisco Álvarez providing a silver lining by coming into their own.
We also reflect on Matt Harvey’s retirement and cover the Mets releasing Khalil Lee.
In our baseball segment this week, we talk about the Angels continuing to be bad at media relations and the other LA baseball team’s secret baseball academy in Uganda. We also note the happy occasion of two female coaches facing off against each other in High-A for the first time.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

We explore the team's surging offense, the mercurial pitching staff, and how the heck Max Scherzer got suspended for following instructions.

We also explore the recently-passed House bill banning trans athletes from participating in youth sports, as well as an emergency order in the state of Missouri restricting all trans people from gender-affirming care.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ West Coast road trip, which went well with the exception of Max Scherzer’s suspension for sticky stuff. We talk about that, Carlos Carrasco’s injury, and the impacts on the Mets’ rotation and rave about Joey Lucchesi’s first performance back from Tommy John surgery.
Next, we talk about the A’s impending departure from Oakland and lament how terrible it is for baseball and the city of Oakland. We also discuss what Rob Manfred—who represents the owners—had to say about the situation in addition to his stated desire to place limits on the length of contracts. We also chat about the new rules MLB is testing out in the Atlantic League this season, including the designated pinch runner and “Double-Hook” DH rule.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise. You can read the Twitter thread about trans inclusion in women’s sports that Maggie referenced in her Walk-off Win here.

We also talked about the Mets’ latest roster moves, including the major one: the promotion of top prospect Brett Baty to the big leagues.
In our baseball segment this week, we talk about the horrendous new patches on the Mets’ uniform patches and the disturbing trend these ads represent, which Rich Staff recently wrote about for Amazin’ Avenue.
The craven greed of owners has also manifested itself in the new alcohol policies at stadiums, which have arisen as a result of the shorter games. We discuss this and Matt Strahm’s very thoughtful quote about it.
We also briefly talked about Mike Clevinger using “Gold Digger” by Kayne West as his warmup music because of course that’s his warmup music.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the takeaways from the Mets’ first three series of the season, including Carlos Carrasco’s struggles, Pete Alonso hitting a lot of baseballs (which might be different again?) out of the ballpark, and the Mets seemingly relegating Francisco Álvarez to a backup catching role.
In our baseball segment this week, we cover the Royals stadium workers speaking out about unsafe working conditions at Kauffman Stadium. We also talk about Rob Manfred calling analytics an “arms race to nowhere,” John Angelos not opening the books after all, and Angels preferring only team-friendly coverage when it comes to their affiliated media.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise. You can read the article about Dave Smith and Retrosheet that Allison referenced in her Walk-off Win on MLB.com.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ opening series against the Marlins, in which the rotation looked mostly fine despite Justin Verlander’s absence and the bullpen also looked fine despite Edwin Díaz’s absence.
Next, we talk about the historic first collective bargaining agreement for minor league players and review the highlights contained therein—pay increases, one less year of team control, improvements in housing, and shrinking the size of the Domestic Reserve List (the biggest concession to the league).
This week in cheap owners: John Angelos being cagey on extending his young players and Arte Moreno refusing to pay for the Angels radio broadcast to travel for road games this season.
We finish off our baseball segment by shouting out the fact that there are a record number of female coaches (19) at the professional level in MLB this year, including four in the Mets organization.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, our Home Run Applesauce podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
In honor of the Pimp My Ride PSP that came out on this date in 2007, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas Promote, Extend, or Trade pimped cars from the MTV hit show.
After, the team gives updates on their Way-Too-Early-Draft-Special player follows.
Following that, they review the first few games of the 2023 season.
Lastly, the guys give three mild, medium, and bold predictions for the upcoming 2023 season. Steve thinks that Kevin Kendall will be a Mets top 25 prospect in 2024, Blade Tidwell will be a national top 50 prospect, and Layonel Ovalles will pitch his way into the Mets top 10. Lukas thinks that Dylan Tebrake moves quickly and pitches in Double-A in 2024, Jett Williams becomes a national top 25 prospect, and Jacob Reimer becomes a national top 100 prospect. Ken thinks that Brett Baty will hit 10 home runs in the MLB in 2024, Kevin Parada becomes the consensus best catcher in the minors, and Blade Tidwell pitches in the big leagues. Thomas thinks that the Mets will have two top five players in the 2023 National League Rookie of the Year votes, Francisco Alvarez will not get a single at-bat in the majors, and the Mets will have 5 players who are considered national top 100 prospects for 2024.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ final decisions for the Opening Day roster, including the surprising choice to roster neither Brett Baty nor Darin Ruf, but Tim Locastro instead. We also talk about Billy Eppler’s word salad quote that he gave as a justification for sending Baty to the minor leagues.
In our baseball segment this week, we cover Mike Elias’ justification (also word salad) for not rostering Grayson Rodriguez, the Braves’ City Connect jerseys, and the progress on Major League Baseball’s efforts to exempt minor leaguers from minimum wage laws in Florida.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

The last time Amazin’ Avenue hosted an ‘emergency podcast,’ it was to celebrate the signing of Carlos Correa. Well, about that...it didn’t exactly happen as we had hoped/predicted. And while the situation is a bummer, and it is, there are a variety of viewpoints that are emerging.
Allison McCague, Thomas Henderson, Lukas Vlahos and Brian Salvatore work through their emotions, discuss the alternatives, and attempt to find silver linings in what is easily the strangest free agency story of 2022 and, perhaps, the last decade.

Welcome to the first ever Amazin Avenue Newswire, focusing on breaking news in the Mets’ orbit. This podcast will pop up whenever big news breaks which, hopefully, means that you’ll be hearing it quite a bit this offseason!
Just a few days after bringing back Brandon Nimmo and signing David Robertson, the Mets made another big splash on the free agent market, signing Kodai Senga to a five-year, $75 million contract. Allison, Lukas, and Brian look at what Senga means for the rotation and what, if anything, they expect the Mets to do for the rest of the offseason.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets lost a franchise-defining player in Jacob deGrom, gained one of the handful of players who could possibly console us in Justin Verlander, and added to both the rotation and bullpen during the 2022 Winter Meetings. Life moves pretty fast, huh?

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past.
As R.A. Dickey would a generation later, Terry Leach saw his future dream of major league glory seemingly disappear to the scourge of arm injuries, only to reinvent himself with a unique pitching style and a dogged determination to pitch in the major leagues and ultimately put pen to paper to eloquently write about the experience.
Leach aced a tryout to earn a place in the Braves organization, where one of his coaches would suggest a sidearm approach to help compensate for his lost velocity. Leach would take to the style with aplomb, but was continually overlooked despite strong results.
Released by the Braves, Leach would latch on with the Mets, where he would finally get major league opportunities—excelling when called upon, including an incredible 10 inning, one hit shutout in 1982—but would still be exiled to the minors when not needed.
A contributor in 1985 who was appreciated by his teammates and his manager, Leach found little room on the mighty 1986 juggernaut, leading to a cheap Wilpon-ian World Series ring kerfuffle. But when injuries ravaged the 1987 squad, Leach took his opportunity and ran with it. And ran and ran and ran.

First, Brian and Lukas discuss Justin Verlander signing with the Mets for a 2 year, $86 million contract and the good and bad that goes along with building a team in that manner. Before wrapping up, Trea Turner’s reported 11 year deal with the Phillies is lamented for many reasons.

On this date back in 1783, George Washington resigned from his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and said farewell to his officers in New York. Likewise, in a semi-Promote, Extend, Trade, the guys take some time to say goodbye to a highly esteemed Mets player as well.
Following that, Steve, Lukas, and Thomas discuss a few minor league signings that were made over the last few days.
After, they preview the upcoming Rule 5 Draft and discuss the most interesting players available and how they would fit on the 2023 (and beyond) Mets.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the report from Andy Martino of SNY about the Mets not pursuing Aaron Judge that launched an MLB investigation into whether the Mets and the Yankees were colluding.
Then, we talked about the latest free agency rumors and the Mets’ pursuit of one of Jacob deGrom, Justin Verlander, or Carlos Rodón. We also chatted about a potential reunion with Adam Ottavino and the state of the Mets’ pitching depth given the moves they’ve made on the fringes.
Next, we discuss the free agency signings that have been made across baseball, the Winter Meetings outlook, Bryce Harper’s Tommy John surgery, and Trevor Bauer taking two L’s in court.
Finally, we wrap things up with an extended post-Thanksgiving Walk-off Wins segment, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Steve and Lukas begin with a discussion of the multitude of minor roster moves that the Mets made this past week. A few players were signed as minor league free agents, a few players were claimed from waivers and a trade was even made!
After that, they discuss the 40-man roster situation and take a look at players in the system who were left unprotected from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft.
Finally, they discuss some in-house personnel moves impacting the 2023 Major League Draft and look at the history of the most widely reported potential candidate to fill the newly opened role.

This week, we begin by discussing the Edwin Díaz signing and free agents the Mets have been connected to so far this offseason. We also congratulation Buck Showalter for winning NL Manager of the Year.
Next, we recap our feelings on the World Series and the 2022 playoffs in general. We lament the fact that it was the first World Series since 1950 with no U.S.-born Black players playing in it. But, we celebrate where baseball has made progress in other ways, such as the Marlins recently promoting Caroline O’Connor to team president, making them the first team in MLB history to have women serving as both GM and team president.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Next, they review the Mets’ Arizona Fall League contingent and how they did over the course of the AFL season now that it’s over.
Following that, they discuss Mets minor league players who received All-Star nominations.
Lastly, they share their thoughts about players who saw time in the Florida Complex League and Dominican Summer League in 2022. Wins and losses don’t matter at all in the FCL or DSL and stats barely matter, so the team discusses players with skills and talent who stand out above their peers.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past.
Kenny Rogers had a long and circuitous path to the major leagues, but slowly but surely rode two important pitching traits—durability and left-handedness—to major league success.
Rogers rose from a LOOGY to a bullpen staple to a rotation staple in Texas—making baseball history with a perfect game along the way—all while battling the front office on salary issues and befuddling teammates with his aloof manner. Rogers signed with the Yankees prior to the 1996 season and struggled, but the team overcame those struggles to win a World Championship.
After resurrecting his career in Oakland, the Mets traded for Rogers for the 1999 stretch run. He provided 5 wins and his inning-eating stability down the stretch as the team barely made the playoffs, but he struggled mightily in the 1999 playoffs, eventually walking in the series-ending run in New York’s epic Game 6 loss to the Braves in the NLCS.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
First up this week, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas discuss bad baseball nicknames in Promote, Extend, Trade.
Next, they review the Mets’ Arizona Fall League contingent and how they did in this fourth week of the AFL season.
Following that, they quickly touch on some breaking news and how it will affect the Mets minor league system.
Lastly, they share their thoughts about the 2022 St. Lucie Mets season. The team had a ton of highly-regarded Mets prospects and farmhands rostered in the first half and they took care of business, winning the Florida State League East division. Promotions cost them some of their higher profile players in the second half, but 2022 draftees provided reinforcements late and the team went on to sweep the playoffs, winning their sixth Florida State League championship!

Next, we talk about how the Mets expressed interest in J.T. Realmuto last offseason, but then never followed up—as J.T. Realmuto plays in the World Series for the Mets’ division rival.
Then, we discuss Marcus Stroman’s troubling tweets and Twitter likes containing anti-semitic dog whistles and the general rise of anti-semitic sentiments expressed by public figures.

First up this week, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas discuss Christopher Lee in a Halloween-themed Promote, Extend, Trade.
Next, they review the Mets’ Arizona Fall League contingent and how they did in this fourth week of the AFL season.
After, they share their thoughts about the 2022 Brooklyn Cyclones season. Expectations were somewhat high coming into the season, but some questionable roster choices early in the year led to the team having a less-than-stellar first half. Things turned around in a hurry in the second half as promotions began. Brooklyn ended up winning the second half division and clinched a playoff berth, but unfortunate did not advance very far, losing to the Aberdeen IronBirds in the best-of-three- series.

Steve isn’t here and there’s nothing really going on on the minor league side right now (we’ll dissect the AFL next week). With our usual guide rails not present, Ken, Thomas, and Lukas simply complain about Buck’s bad managing, lament the health status of the Mets’ top two arms, pontificate on whether this is a disappointing season or not, and question why Francisco Alvarez isn’t getting more playing time.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past.
George Stone was a two-sport star in college, ultimately choosing baseball over basketball. A promising young left-handed pitcher, he made his MLB debut at the age of 21 with Atlanta, and was a key cog in the rotation of the 1969 Braves, who would fall to the Mets in the inaugural National League Championship Series that year.
Stone would struggle with arm problems before getting traded to the Mets in the 1972 offseason with Felix Millan. Seen by many as a throw-in with the All-Star second baseman, Stone had an incredible 1973 for the Mets, going 12-3 and winning 4 games in their amazin’ September run to the pennant.
Slated to start Game 6 of the World Series with the Mets up 3 games to 2 on the mighty A’s, Stone was bypassed for Tom Seaver and Jon Matlack on three days’ rest each—a fateful “What If” in Mets’ history.

The Mets and the Braves depress the guys too much for a Promote, Extend, Trade topic this week, so they talk about the end of the 2022 minor league season and some of the standouts.
After, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas review their pre-season predictions for the 2022 season made back in last March. Some were accurate. Some were accurate (kinda). Some were about as accurate as Rick Ankiel in the 2000 playoffs.

This week, we begin by discussing the state of the Mets heading into this weekend’s pivotal (and likely division-deciding) series against the Braves—that is, if the games don’t get washed out by the impending hurricane.
Next, we talk about who might make the Mets’ playoff roster and who might not.
We also talk about how much fun baseball history we are witnessing all around the game right now from Pete Alonso setting the franchise RBI record to Albert Pujols’ 700th career home run to Aaron Judge’s pursuit for 62.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past.
Mike Bruhert grew up approximately six miles from Shea Stadium, but his journey to play there was incredibly unlikely. He went 1-16 at his high school, but was discovered by a Mets’ scout in a sandlot all-star game.
Early in his Mets tenure, Bruhert met—and eventually married—Gil Hodges’ daughter Irene. Meanwhile, he toiled in the minors for more than seven seasons before finally earning a rotation spot for Joe Torre’s 1978 Mets squad.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past.
A first round draft pick out of Fordham University by tge Baltimore Orioles, Pete Harnisch made his MLB debut before he turned 22.
Harnisch blossomed in Houston, turning into an All Star after Baltimore included him in an historically bad trade.
It thus seemed a joyous homecoming when the Mets acquired Harnisch before the 1995 season. However, the righty struggled with injuries, mental health issues, and disputes with manager Bobby Valentine. He’d flash his more traditional form in Cincinnati after his escape from New York, narrowly missing a chance to haunt his former team in 1999.

Next, we talk about the league voluntarily recognizing the minor leaguers joining the MLBPA—a surprising, but very welcome development. We also discuss the latest rule changes that will be implemented next season: bigger bases, a pitch clock, and banning defensive shifting.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past.
Lenny Harris was a speedy, versatile player who ultimately appeared at every position on the diamond except for catcher over his 18-year career. Harris was useful utility player early in his career for the Reds and the Dodgers.
Over the latter half of his career, Harris switched teams often, as teams in the pennant race would often look to add his veteran presence and pinch hitting acumen to their bench. This happened twice with the Mets, as Harris was reunited with his old Dodger friend and teammate Mike Piazza in New York.
After a productive stint with the team in 1998, Harris came back to the Mets in a separate trade in 2000, serving as a pinch hitter for that year’s N.L. Champion squad and returning in 2001, when he would break Manny Mota’s all-time record for pinch hits in a Mets uniform.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past.
Once described by the MLB Network as baseball’s Forrest Gump, Lenny Randle did have an uncanny knack for appearing at randomly notable baseball moments—including two of the five contests to end in forfeit since 1971.
Randle was a seeming fixture with the Texas Rangers until the loss of his job—and an ensuing confrontation with his manager—led to his suspension and subsequent trade to the Mets in 1977. With New York, Randle would have a superlative season in a year that would be difficult for the franchise—and the city—as Randle would be standing at home plate when Shea Stadium—and NYC—were plunged into a famous blackout.

The Mets had a week to remember, winning five of their last seven games while increasing their division lead to 3 games over the Braves. That doesn’t even account for the first Old Timer’s Day in nearly 30 years, the retirement of Willie Mays’s #24, and the Timmy Trumpet experience. It was a good one, folks.

A two-sport star at Colorado University, John Stearns was selected in both the MLB and NFL drafts
An athletic catcher, Stearns would be a four time All Star for the perennially poor Mets squads of the late 70s and early 80s His 25 stolen bases in 1978 set a then-record for National League catchers
stearns was also an intense competitor who was involved in several on field altercations. His all out style led to injuries which shortened his playing career, but he remained in the game—-including a memorable coaching stint with the Mets

The Mets took three of four from division rival Philadelphia over the weekend, and lost two in a row to local rival Yankees this week. On paper, this isn’t reason for panic, but the Braves just keep winning, and so the Mets are down to a very thin 1.5 game margin lead in the NL East. Brian and Chris try to remain calm, and do so by hyping up Old Timer’s Day.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
The New York Mets franchise has seen its share of exceptional pitchers—Tom Seaver, Doc Gooden, Jacob deGrom—as well as exceptional individual pitching performances from those names and others—Johan Santana’s no-hitter, David Cone’s 19 strikeout game—the list goes on and on.
Perhaps the greatest of these, however, was authored by the less-heralded Rob Gardner. In just his fifth major league appearance, at the tail end of the 1965 season, Gardner hurled 15 scoreless innings in a game that would end up a 0-0 tie after 18 innings, and would have to be made up the very next day.
Gardner would spend one more season with the Mets before embarking on a journeyman career that would see him in several organizations before arm injuries would bring his career to a premature end after the 1973 season.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets lost starting pitchers to injuries after 2 innings in back to back games, and yet, Brian and Chris aren’t too worried. Plus, the Mets’ #2 prospect debuted with a flourish, the Mets’ bench is wonky at the moment, and the rain has been a real pain in Atlanta.

Hana Vu - Public Storage

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by celebrating taking four out of five from the Braves in dominating fashion. We read salty tweets from Braves fans and encourage the mockery thereof, but do not encourage mockery via doing the racist chop at Citi Field.
Next, we talk about Pete Rose mocking a female reporter for doing her job and how shameful it is that the Phillies made him a part of their celebration.
We also announce the official date and place for Dollars 4 Dingers 2022: September 17 at Ebbs at 4:00pm. Be there or be square!
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Jeff Musselman took a rare path to the majors, graduating as an economics major from Harvard University. He would be drafted by and make his major league debut with the Toronto Blue Jays, alternating between starting and relieving.
As the Mets looked to shake up their roster at the 1989 MLB Trade Deadline, the team brought in ace starter Frank Viola, then fortified the bullpen by bringing in Musselman in a trade that would send beloved franchise icon and World Series hero Mookie Wilson to Toronto.
Musselman would stuggle in his year and a half in New York, before a heart attack at age 29 would cut short his professional baseball career and see him move into the front office of the company of his agent, Scott Boras

These pieces were recorded right after the deadline passed, so there are pure, unadulterated, unfiltered emotions that you’ll be getting. There may or may not be some cursing as well.

Jacob deGrom came back tonight. The Mets’ seven-game winning streak came to an end tonight. That’s bad. The Mets acquired some bullpen help and some bats for the bench. That’s good. The Mets didn’t do enough. That’s bad.

Ray Sadecki made his MLB debut at the tender age of 19 for the Cardinals. A key member of the rotation for their 1964 team, he eventually fell out of favor in St Louis .
Sadecki spent a couple of years it’s the Giants before joining the Mets in 1970, ion the heels of their stunning World Championship .
Sadecki’s first win as a Met would be the 100th of his career. He’d settle in as a bullpen stalwart for several years in Queens.

This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ acquisition of Daniel Vogelbach from the Pirates in exchange for Colin Holderman.

Next, we talk about the government’s lawsuit against the Cubs for violating the Americans with Disabilities Act in their Wrigley Field renovations.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
In a career marked by a few high peaks and some very deep valleys, Jose Lima carved an indelible swath into baseball’s consciousness.
After struggling with the Tigers, the flamboyant Lima became a star in Houston, promoting his starts as ‘‘Lima Time” as he danced his way to an All Star season in 1999.
Lima fell back to earth and scuffled for several years before a renaissance season for the Dodgers in 2004. Signed as veteran rotation insurance for the Mets in 2006, Lima made the final four starts of his career in New York

This week, we begin by discussing the news that Jacob deGrom’s simulated game was delayed until Thursday and try to figure out how nervous we should be about it.
Then, we reflect on the first half of the 2022 Mets season. We each give our MVPs and LVPs of the first half and discuss potential trade targets for the Mets, which amazingly enough now includes Juan Soto.
Next, we talk about some interesting things Rob Manfred said to the media yesterday, including that he “rejects the premise” that minor leaguers don’t make a living wage and disputes Dr. Meredith Wills’ research about the two baseballs.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Lance Johnson was a solid center fielder for the White Sox for a number of seasons, ranking among the American League leaders in stolen bases many seasons, and leading the league in triples for four straight seasons.
The Mets signed Johnson as a free agent prior to the 1996 season, hoping to add that stability to center field and to the leadoff spot in their order. Johnson went on to deliver one of the finest seasons in team history, setting franchise records for hits and triples in a season that still stand, on his way to his one and only All Star season.

With the 2022 MLB Draft going on in the background, Steve, Lukas, and Thomas were joined by Baseball Prospectus senior prospect writer and evaluation coordinator and For All You Kids co-host Jarrett Seidler.
With the 11th overall pick, the Mets selected Kevin Parada, a catcher from Georgia Tech. With the 14th overall pick, the Mets selected Jett Williams, a shortstop from Rockwell-Heath High School in Heath, Texas. Were there any shocking selections prior to the Mets’ first pick? Did the Mets gloss over a player who was clearly heads-and-shoulders more talented than either Parada or Williams? Overall, how did the Mets do in the first round of the 2022 MLB Draft?

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Drafted in the second round by the Mets in 1983, the scrappy Jeff McKnight would toil in the minors for seven years before making his MLB debut for the still powerful 1989 Mets team, in Keith Hernandez’s final season in New York.
McKnight would be released and spend a couple of years in Baltimore before returning to Queens for the final few seasons of his career. The utility player would appear at every position but center field and pitcher in his career, and his perhaps best remembered for being one of the first in a series of obscure Mets to sport uniform number 17 before it was taken out of rotation and ultimately retired in honor of Hernandez.

This week, we begin by discussing the state of the Mets, who continue to struggle on offense, but have finally gotten Max Scherzer back—with hopefully Jacob deGrom to follow.
Next, we talk about the 30th anniversary of A League of Their Own and the trailblazing Maybelle Blair.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Note: Rob is away this week, and so we are rebroadcasting an episode with a tie to today’s date, July 5.
Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
This week, guest host Brian Salvatore traces the career of former Met Richard Hidalgo. Hildalgo came up with the Astros, had an amazing year in 2000, and a very good year in 2003 before coming over to the Mets in a trade in June of 2004. He hit 21 home runs in the summer of 2004, only to depart the team in the off-season.
Some of the things discussed in this episode: his connection to Bobby Abreau, his son signing with the Marlins, his abandoned ‘field of dreams,’ and the time the dude was shot during a carjacking, but played profession baseball just a few months later.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by emphasizing that the Mets cannot get out of the month of June fast enough. The Astros seem to have the Mets’ number, but they will at least escape June with a winning record, although a much smaller NL East lead than they had before.
We also try not to put on our tin foil hats about Max Scherzer, whose rehab start was delayed. We discuss the return of other injured Mets, like Colin Holderman and James McCann.
We also discuss the case for the Mets’ “fringe” All-Stars, of which there are quite a few!
Next, we cover various odds and ends throughout the league. We talk about baseball’s new uniform “muddy” ball technique, the brawl between the Mariners and the Angels, the Mets sitting down with the Advocates for Minor Leaguers, and more.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
A three-sport star at the University of Kansas, Steve Renko would choose the baseball path over the dangers of football. Drafted by the Mets as a pitcher/outfielder, he would start out as a hitting prospect before transitioning to pitching.
Renko would begin to zip through the minors as a pitching prospect, catching the eye and the favor of Gil Hodges. However, before he could make his debut in Queens for an up-and-coming 1969 Mets team, Renko would become a key piece in a deadline deal which would bring in future World Series MVP Donn Clendenon.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
The Cyclone opened on this date in 1927, so the guys discuss it in Promote, Extend, Trade...kinda.
Next, Steve, Ken, and Thomas discusses a fairly in-depth mock draft done by the good people at Baseball America. Baseball America mocked shortstop Cole Young and right-handed pitcher Gabriel Hughes to the Mets in the first round and right-handed pitcher Ben Joyce in the second round. How does that sound to you?
After, the team give updates on the Syracuse Mets, Binghamton Rumble Ponies, Brooklyn Cyclones, St. Lucie Mets, and Florida Complex League Mets.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
While the Mets looked solid against the Marlins over the weekend, the two-game series in Houston was not exactly pretty. Now, small sample size, injuries, and the backend of a hurt rotation all played a part in this, and Brian and Chris recognize this. Still, discussions of trade deadline acquisitions have begun.

This week, we begin by discussing the updates on various injured Mets and the impending return of Max Scherzer to the rotation. We also talk about the 13-pitcher roster rule coming into effect and Tommy Hunter’s return to the major leagues as the feel-good Mets story this week.
Next, we talk about Pride Night at Citi Field, which Grace Carbone recently wrote about in a fantastic piece that we recommend you read. In particular, we discuss the allyship Mark Canha and Taijuan Walker showed with their full embrace of Pride and how refreshing that was to see. We also point to Megan Rapinoe as another example of what LGBTQ+ allyship looks like in sports.
We also discuss the new “no politics” policy being implemented at The Athletic.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Plucked from the Cardinals’ organization in the expansion draft, Jim Hickman would finally get an opportunity in the majors with New York’s brand new expansion franchise in 1962.
Hickman would eventually become a regular for New York and an early source of some power—which he would flash in becoming the first Met to hit for the cycle, as well as the first Met to hit three home runs in one game.
Hickman would be the last original Met to leave the team, eventually having some of his best individual seasons with the Chicago Cubs—but being denied a chance at the postseason when his former team would chase down the Cubs in 1969.

First up, the team give updates on the Syracuse Mets, Binghamton Rumble Ponies, Brooklyn Cyclones, St. Lucie Mets, and Florida Complex League Mets.
After, the guys take a look at the lower minors and go into some detail about players who have exceeded expectations coming into the 2022 season and players who have not lived up to the expectations placed on them prior to the start of the season.

This week, we begin by discussing the end of the Mets’ long West Coast roadtrip, which they managed to survive (mostly) unscathed. We also talk about the mostly good news the Mets have been getting on the injury front of late; reinforcements are on the way!
Next, we express our disappointment with the Apple TV+ broadcast treating minor league living conditions like a joke and the Athletics organization for not giving some of their players under contract a paycheck since October.
We also talk about Britt Ghiroli’s excellent reporting on the story of Maura Sheridan—a minor league baseball announcer who reported a sexual assault she suffered at the hands of a player and the professional consequences she faced as a result of speaking out.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Alex Ochoa was the proverbial five tool prospect as he moved up through the Orioles organization, rising into the top half of Baseball America’s Top 100 Prospect List. The Mets held out for Ochoa as the prize when they moved Bobby Bonilla to the Orioles at the 1995 trade deadline.
Ochoa’s arrival was heavily hyped, and he got off to a strong start in the middle of 1996—notably hitting for a cycle early in his career. But he never quite lived up to the hype, fizzling out but winding up his career as a backup outfielder for the 2002 World Champion Angels.

Steve and Family kind of had an oops Sunday morning. It made him think of some of the biggest baseball oopses, so the team looks at baseball blunders in Promote, Extend, Trade.
After, gives updates on the remaining Way-Too-Early Draft Special players of interest still playing, and review a pair of recently released mock drafts.
Following that, the guys give updates on the Syracuse Mets, Binghamton Rumble Ponies, Brooklyn Cyclones, St. Lucie Mets, and Florida Complex League Mets.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets are hanging out in So. Cal, and so far, the trip has been a mixed bag. The Mets are 3-4 against the Dodgers and Padres, had a couple of really poor games, but also avoided major injuries, and split the series with the best team in the National League. Brian and Chris, predictably, aren’t panicking yet, and are looking forward to the imminent return of Tylor Megill.

This week, we begin by continuing to celebrate the 2022 Mets, who seem to create new season highlights every day. This week, it was the first Met to hit for a cycle in ten years in Eduardo Escobar. Stuff that would have been a weeks-long LOLMets story in the past, such as Lindor slamming his finger in a door or Max Scherzer getting bitten by his dog, are rolling right off the backs of this team.
Next, we talk about some members of the Tampa Bay Rays opting not to wear the rainbow-colored logos on their uniforms for the team’s Pride celebration and giving a very crappy justification for it.
We also get very excited for the upcoming A League of Their Own miniseries premiering on Amazon Prime in August.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Mike Fitzgerald was a promising young catching prospect who steadily worked his way up through the minors at a time when the Mets’ farm system was brimming with talent, playing alongside prospects such as Darryl Strawberry, Ron Darling, and Wally Backman.
Fitzgerald homered in his first major league at bat in September 1983 and secured the full time catching job for a young 1984 Mets squad that turned the franchise’s major league fortunes around. He looked like a key piece of an up-and-coming team—until a future Hall of Fame catcher in Montreal became available.

We also talk about where the various injured Mets are at with their rehab.
In our baseball segment this week, we talk about a recent column from Jeff Passan of ESPN on a memo MLB issued to teams regarding inadequate stadium facilities for female employees.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the blow to the Mets’ rotation in the loss of Max Scherzer for 6-8 weeks. We talk about how they can weather the storm (which probably won’t involve more starts from Thomas Szapucki) and how Tuesday’s loss was encouraging, even if it was infuriating.
Next, we talk about Josh Donaldson’s racist remarks toward Tim Anderson. We encourage you to listen to the words of Bradford William Davis on this issue.
For all the flack we gave the Yankees that chose to defend Donaldson (which was far from a unanimous sentiment), we gave the organization credit for partnering with the Rays to acknowledge the tragedy in Texas this week by tweeting out factoids about the gun violence epidemic in America during last night’s game. Sports have always been political and we applaud the Rays and Yankees for using their platforms for good.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
2005 was a year of big changes for the Mets: new GM, new manager, new superstars. One of the new additions who did not get the front page headlines - at least not while playing for the Mets - was Jose Offerman. His pre and post Mets careers are far more eventful than his time in Queens, but that’s why we are here, isn’t it?

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
In honor of Lou Gehrig becoming the first player with three three-homer games, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas debate three homer games in Met history in Promote, Extend, Trade.
Next, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas give updates on their Way-Too-Early Draft Special players of interest. We debate some draft philosophies, lament our inability to pierce the veil of the Mets’ front office’s thinking, do a Brady House update, and reinforce our group’s fondness for polished college outfielders. Here’s hoping Gavin Cross falls to 11.
After, the guys review how the Syracuse Mets, Binghamton Rumble Ponies, Brooklyn Cyclones, and St. Lucie Mets did this past week. Spoiler alert, it wasn’t great.
Finally. we discuss the pool of college pitchers the Mets drafted in rounds 4-10 last year. Mike Vasil and Carson Seymour are moving on up. Levi David and Dominic Hamel, not so much.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets have continued to play good baseball, despite losing both their first series of the year, and also two more starting pitchers to the IL. Chris and Brian were optimistic - but wrong - when they recorded this, but hey, that Pete walk off was dope, eh?

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
The 2006 Mets came within a two runs of winning the National League pennant and making it to the World Series for the first time since 2000. The 2007 Mets came within a game of making the postseason. In 2008, history repeated itself, as the team was eliminated from postseason play on their last day of the regular season by the Florida Marlins for the second straight year. With Jose Reyes and David Wright emerging as budding stars, a third homegrown phenom would have made all the difference, and that was exactly what Brian Cole was expected to be.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the injuries to James McCann and Tylor Megill and how the Mets are already at the bottom of their depth in mid-May. But, at least yesterday’s update on Jacob deGrom was positive!
Next, we talk about the various narratives that emerged from the Mariners series—rehashing the Díaz/Canó trade and Jesse Winker being a fun Mets villain. We also discuss the weird grudge Paul Sewald seems to hold against the Mets and the fanbase.
We also briefly discuss Matt Harvey’s 60-game suspension for distributing oxycodone, which may end his career.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

The Mets played less baseball than usual this past week, but managed to win a series with the Phillies, make a near unbelievable comeback, and continued to be, dare we say, good. We also discuss the emergence of Carlos Carrasco, the solid relief work the team has been getting, and complain about the baseball.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the Mets, who are now 20-10. We talk about how sweet it is to have two historic moments—the combined no-hitter and the seven-run ninth inning comeback—against the Phillies.
We also talk about the Mets’ decision to release Robinson Canó, injury updates on Jacob deGrom and Trevor May, and Chris Bassitt expressing openness to an extension, which the Mets should absolutely do.
In our baseball segment this week, we discuss the 324-game suspension Major League Baseball handed down to Trevor Bauer, which he is appealing, and pray this is the last time we ever have to mention Bauer’s name on the podcast.
Maggie also shares her family’s experience with the new sensory nook at Citi Field and talks about improvements that could be made.
Finally, we shout out New Jersey-based artist and friend of the pod Elise Dodeles, who made a video about her painting project depicting women in baseball, supported by the Russell J. Efros Foundation. Her artwork is absolutely fantastic and you should check it all out on her website.
We wrap things up like we always do with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Roberto Petagine was a solid prospect with an excellent batting eye who lacked the power traditionally required of first basemen. Petagine seemed to plateau in AAA, excelling there but struggling to break through on the major league level.
Petagine played well for Bobby Valentine at AAA Norfolk in 1996, earning himself some time in the majors once Valentine took over from the fired Dallas Green. However, the Mets’ offseason acquisition of John Olerud closed any windows to regular playing time for Petagine. Still, he would earn a late season call up in 1997, and play a crucial role in a memorable Mets comeback in a big September game.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets had one of the most impactful weeks in a very, very long time. Between the combined no-hitter, the release of Robinson Cano, and a good 4-3 homestand, the Mets are a very interesting team to discuss at the moment. Brian and Chris review the past week and talk about Buck Showalter’s run as manager thus far.

This week, we went live on the Amazin’ Avenue Facebook page with Dr. Meredith Wills to talk about the 2022 baseballs, which appear deader than ever.
We talk about the effect the humidor might be having on the ball and why it might be causing the inconsistency Chris Bassitt and others seem to be noticing with the balls this year.
We also discuss the differences between the Rawlings baseball used by MLB and the balls used during the Olympics, which players liked better.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
A two-sport start at the University of Pittsburgh, Chris Jelic was drafted by the Kansas City Royals, who would trade him—and future star David Cone—to the Mets for catcher Ed Hearn prior to the 1987 season.
Jelic would toil in the minors for parts of six seasons before getting a brief call up to the Mets in September of 1990. At the tail end of a disappointing pennant race for New York, Jelic would record the only 11 professional at-bats of his career, and would make his only professional hit a memorable one—a home run in his final career at bat.

The Mets are a good baseball team, and are doing the things that good baseball teams do.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin with a celebration of the Mets’ improbable comeback win against the Cardinals and the fact that the Mets very well may be a Good baseball team.
Next, we talk about the odd sequence of events that was the update on Jacob deGrom, which was very Metsy, but culminated in (mostly) good news.
We then discuss the tough choices the Mets will have to make with the roster come May 1 when rosters shrink from 28 to 26. We make the argument that Robinson Canó is not the answer for this team moving forward.
In a quick baseball segment this week, we talk about how the baseball is dead again; we will cover that in greater depth next week when we have Dr. Meredith Wills back on the show. We also provide a quick update on Trevor Bauer, who has now sued the woman who accused him of sexual assault.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Born in Brooklyn, John Candelaria was a key member of the successful Pittsburgh Pirates teams of the late 1970s, culminating in the team’s 1979 World Series victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
Candelaria eventually got traded to the Angels—coming within one game of facing his hometown team in the 1986 World Series. As the 1987 Mets were beset by injuries in their efforts to repeat as World Champions—including a key September injury to Ron Darling—the team brought in the veteran lefty in a last ditch effort to catch the Cardinals.

The Citi seats are forrest green, for a hundred in twenties, an a small service fee. Just watching the Mets’ runs flying by. The starter's been pulled, and we really wanna see Diaz tonight.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Randy Tate was a young left-handed starter in the Mets’ organization with a strong arm but a lack of control. Tate had one large and key supporter in the organization—manager Yogi Berra. Going into the 1975 season, Berra saw the 22 year old Tate as a perfect fit for the rotation behind his incredible top three of Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, and Jon Matlack.
Tate had the type of up-and-down season one might expect from a young hurler, perfectly encapsulated in one game on August 4, 1975, when Tate took a no-hitter into the eighth at Shea, only to lose it—and the game—in quick succession. The game seemed to mark the end of Berra’s reign as manager, as he was fired after the next day’s doubleheader sweep.

This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ first five games of the season, over which they probably should have gone undefeated, but instead are 3-2 to start the 2022 season. We discuss the strong starting pitching the Mets have gotten, Walker and May’s injury concerns, and the cracks in the bullpen foundation.
Next, we talk about various odds and ends from around the league during the first week of the season: the Nationals’ and Astros’ City Connect jerseys, how the new CBA has clearly not curbed tanking, mic’d up umpires, and more.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin with the bad news: the stress reaction in Jacob deGrom’s scapula that’s going to cost him about two months of his season. It’s a huge blow to the Mets and we discuss whether the team will be able to weather the storm.
Next, we talk about the trade that almost was (Dominic Smith to the Padres for Eric Hosmer, Chris Paddack, and Emilio Pagan) and the trade that actually was (Miguel Castro to the Yankees for Joely Rodríguez). We note what a travesty it is that Miguel Castro had to shave his beard and dreadlocks due to the Yankees’ archaic (and discriminatory) hair policy.
We also discuss the more minor, but still potentially concerning injuries in camp (Nimmo’s neck, Scherzer’s hamstring, etc.) and name Our Dudes for the 2022 season.
In our baseball segment this week, we discuss improving conditions for minor leaguers and areas that still need improvement. We also talk about Trevor Bauer’s defamation lawsuit against Molly Knight and The Athletic and how it indicates that he is more interested in painting his accuser as a liar than he is in returning to the mound for the Dodgers.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

This week, we’re lucky enough to have very special guest Elizabeth Benn on the show. Liz is the Mets’ new Director of major league operations. She is the highest-ranking woman to hold a baseball operations role in the team’s history. Liz previously served as Senior Coordinator of baseball operations for Major League baseball and also was the first woman to play in the New York Metro Baseball League. She has a Masters in Philosophy from Columbia University and is an Adjunct Lecturer at Lehman College.
We chat with Liz about how she fell in love with baseball, what it was like getting hired during the lockout, issues of diversity and equity in baseball, the future of the Mets organization, our shared love of animals, and more.
We wrap things up like we always do with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
In honor of Ponce De Leon and the Fountain of Youth, the team discusses players who had incredible careers on the wrong side of 40 in Promote, Extend, Trade.
Next, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas give updates on their Way-Too-Early Draft Special players of interest.
After that, the team reviews their predictions for the 2021 season made last year.
Following that, the team gives their predictions for the 2022 minor league season, split into mild, medium, and spicy takes. Steve thinks that Jake Mangum will be a top 10 prospect in the system, the 2022 Brooklyn Cyclones will have the best rotation since the legendary 2012 rotation, and that Matthew Allan will drop out of the top 10 prospect list in 2023. Lukas thinks that Nick Plummer will have 150+ league average or better at-bats in 2022, Dominic Hamel will be an elite RP prospect by the end of the season, and Joel Diaz will be a top-100 prospect in baseball by the end of the season. Ken thinks that the Mets will draft at least 3 top 10 2023 prospects in the 2022 MLB Draft, Francisco Alvarez is a top 5 prospect in baseball heading into the 2023 season, and Brett Baty hits 35 homers across all levels in 2022. Thomas thinks that Brett Baty will hit more fly balls, Eric Orze becomes an important member of the 2022 Mets’ bullpen, and that Francisco Alvarez will be the third catcher on the Mets’ depth chart by 2023.
Wrapping things up, the Wilponery of the Week.

This week, we begin by discussing the moves that the Mets have made since the end of the lockout—the acquisition of Chris Bassitt from the Oakland A’s and the signing of Adam Ottavino. We also discuss early notes from Mets camp, including Pete Alonso’s very scary brush with death.
We also talk about the Mets parting ways with vice president and chief marketing officer David Newman, which may or may not have anything to do with his past actions. And we talk about Steve Cohen seemingly not caring a whole lot about the Steve Cohen tax.
In our baseball segment this week, we celebrate the return of our national pastime from a long, dark winter. We go over the highlights from the new CBA and discuss how rules around vaccination in Canada and New York City could affect the Yankees, Mets, and many other teams who roster unvaccinated players.

Wrapping things up, the team talks about how the lockout affected the Mets 40-man roster, the implications of the cancellation of the Rule 5 Draft, and who they would’ve wanted to have seen drafted if the process had taken place back in December uninterrupted.

This week, we begin by discussing the only good baseball news that has happened of late: the two historic hires made by the Mets.
But next, we talk about the thing everyone else is talking about: the second time the start of the MLB season has been delayed in the course of three years. This time, it’s because there is not a new collective bargaining agreement. Like most of you, we are angry. And we are sad. Because we love baseball, even if Rob Manfred does not.
Finally, we wrap things up with a desperately needed Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
A New Jersey native who starred at Seton Hall, Rick Cerone seemed perfectly suited to play baseball in New York. It just took him a little while to get there.
Drafted in the first round by Cleveland, Cerone was traded to the expansion Toronto Blue Jays, where he caught the first game in franchise history and established himself.
Cerone was traded home to the Yankees in 1980 following Thurman Munson’s tragic death. He had a career year in 1980 before clashing with George Steinbrenner and getting exiled—and brought back again.
After his third departure from the Yankees, the 37 year old was anxious to stay close to home and play for a contender. The 1991 Mets would seem to fill both bills. But while Cerone would have a solid season in orange and blue, the 1991 Mets decidedly would not.

After that, they give updates on their Way-Too-Early Draft Special players of interest.

This week, we begin by discussing the return of Old Timers’ Day and getting excited about being able to Remember Some Guys.
Then, we talk about Matt Harvey’s testimony in the trial of former Angels employee Eric Kay, in which he admitted to using cocaine and oxycodone and said that use of the latter is prevalent in baseball. We also talked about Terry Collins’ irresponsible interview, in which he revealed details of Harvey’s mental health struggles during his time with the Mets.
Next, we discuss the ongoing lockout and the latest in CBA talks, as a timely start to the season hangs in jeopardy. We also cover how minor leaguers in particular are affected by the current lockout.
We spend a brief amount of time on Trevor Bauer not facing charges for the allegations of sexual assault against him and on additional allegations of misconduct against Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy. We recommend this column on Bauer from the Los Angeles Times.
We also talk about the Olympics and how issues we discuss often on this podcast—exploitation of minors and mental health struggles in sports—are front and center in Beijing.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

This week, we begin by chatting about Keith Hernandez’s number retirement—a further indicator of a shift toward more inclusivity on the part of the Mets when it comes to retiring numbers and a hopeful sign that David Wright will be next in line.
We also discuss a few other Mets tidbits, including Zack Scott’s not guilty verdict in his DUI case, Brandon Nimmo changing agents, and the latest reports about the moves the Mets may (or may not) make after the lockout.
Next, we talk about the latest developments on talks between the league and the MLBPA, which are still far from a resolution. We also discuss Hall of Fame Voting Discourse, which has reached a fever pitch in the last year of Bonds and Clemens’ eligibility for the ballot.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Premio sausages roasting on an open fire
Jim Beam nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Mr. Met
Everybody knows the G.O.A.T. and some
No-nos help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Sandy’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And every mother’s
Child is gonna spy to see if
Reyes really know how to fly
And so, I’m offering this
Simple phrase to kids from
One to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times
Many ways
“Merry Metsmas to you”

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we went live on the Amazin’ Avenue Facebook page to eat cookies and talk about all things Mets. We talked about the Mets’ major signings this offseason—Eduardo Escobar, Mark Canha, Starling Marte, and Max Scherzer—and our excitement that Steve Cohen has opened his large purse (perhaps thanks in part to Steven Matz’s agent).
We also discuss the Mets’ new manager Buck Showalter and what we think of the hire.
In the second half of the show, we discussed recent reporting from the Washington Post about sexual assault allegations against Yasiel Puig that were kept hidden for years as MLB allowed him to continue playing.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

In Promote, Extend, Trade, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas discuss the origin of choice of their super powers, if they had super powers.
Following that, they discuss the recent hiring of Buck Showalter as Mets manager. The 65-year-old has been involved in baseball in one way or another since the 1970s. Will his helming the Mets have any kind of impact on the Mets minor league system, good or bad?
After, the team discusses Spider-Man because...well, why not? I don’t see much minor league baseball action going on, do you?

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets, and all of Major League Baseball, are in a lock out right now, and so there’s not a ton of Mets-related content to chat about. However, the team is circling around three candidates to manage the team: Buck Showalter, Joe Espada, and Matt Quatraro. Brian and Chris debate the relative merits of each, and discuss their predicted timelines for the lock out.
Plus, we pay tribute to Pedro Feliciano and are joined for a quick chat by Trevor May.
Chris’s Music Pick:
The Budos Band - Burnt Offering

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
With the COVID-19 omicron variant spreading, the team discusses other deadly diseases in Promote, Extend, Trade.
Following that, they discuss the minor league portion of the 2021 Rule 5 Draft. The Mets selected a pair of pitchers from the Tampa Bay Rays and Chicago Cubs and lost a pair of pitchers to the Atlanta Braves and Seattle Mariners.
After...Well, we jump the Ithorian razor shark. There usually isn’t much minor league action going on between the MLB Winter Meetings and the new year, when we start rolling out our updated prospect rankings, but things are at an even bigger lull this year with the MLB owners lockout. We have a show to record, so we dip into one of the collective fandoms we all share: Star Wars.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
A 31st round draft pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Pedro Feliciano slowly and steadily worked his way through the minors and across several organizations before being acquired by the Mets in 2002.
Feliciano would be up and down in the minors—and overseas in Japan—before returning to the organization prior to the 2006 season. An adjustment to his delivery that he worked on with pitching coach Rick Peterson—turning to more of a three-quarters delivery—would help Feliciano develop into an effective reliever, particularly tough on lefties.
Feliciano would thrive and become a mainstay in the Mets bullpen from 2006 to 2010, leading the league in appearances three straight seasons as he would go on to record the second most appearances in franchise history for a pitcher behind John Franco. Feliciano was a presence and positive figure in the organization after his retirement until his tragic and untimely passing earlier this year at the age of 45.
If you’ve got an idea for a player to be featured on UnforMETable, let us know in the comments.
Make sure to follow Rob on Twitter (@WolffRR), and you can now follow the show, too (@unformetable). Tune in next week for another tale from the Mets’ past.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we are joined by investigative journalist Bradford William Davis and astrophysicist and baseball construction expert Dr. Meredith Wills to discuss Bradford’s recent article for Business Insider on Meredith’s study, which revealed that MLB used two different baseballs with two different performance profiles during the 2021 season.
We chat with Bradford and Meredith about the data, what it tells us, the reactions of players and others in baseball to this news, its impact on tensions between the league and the players in the context of the current lockout, and so much more. Video of our conversation—where you can see Meredith’s demonstrations with actual used game balls—is available on the Amazin’ Avenue Facebook page.
As we always do, we wrapped things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us, including our guests, talked about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

In honor of the last night of Hanukkah (and Hanukkah in general), the team talks about the best performance of Jewish characters by Jewish actors in Promote, Extend, Trade.
After, the team previews the upcoming Rule 5 Draft discusses the MLB owner lockout and the impact it is going to have on the upcoming 20222 minor league baseball season.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
It’s that time of the year, folks. Time to discuss what we’re thankful of. Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas kvetch a whole lot- we’ve made jobs out of it, one can say- but at the end of the day, we do this to ourselves. Being a Mets fan might not be a choice, but the degree of effort that we put into being Mets fans is entirely up to us. Why do we do it? What do we get out of it? The four amigos each take a little time to discuss what they’re thankful for as Amazin’ Avenue writers, as Amazin’ Avenue podcasters, as Mets fans, and as people.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The last time we spoke, the Mets' front office was barren, Qualifying Offers were out, and the future didn't look great for 2022.
Then, everything changed.
The Mets have a new GM in Billy Eppler, a new co-ace in Max Scherzer, a new center fielder in Starling Marte, a new right fielder in Mark Canha, and a new infielder in Eduardo Escobar. This is a shocking turn of events, especially the Scherzer signing, and Brian and Chris get to most of it.

This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ new general manager Billy Eppler and the work he has cut out for him this offseason, especially now that Noah Syndergaard has signed with the Angels. We talk about the Mets’ strategy of not pursuing any free agents with a QO attached and also discuss all the latest Mets-adjacent rumors—Steven Matz, Javy Báez, Seiya Suzuki, and more.
Next, we briefly cover the lengthy profile written about Dave Portnoy in New York Magazine and Trevor Bauer’s controversial tweet and encourage you to engage with neither.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

In honor of Lukas and Thomas being a pair of sickos, the team picks internet memes in Promote, Extend, Trade.
Next, with the Arizona Fall League concluded, the team reviews how the Mets players who participated did.
Following that, they take a look at the 40-man roster and moves that were made in preparation for the upcoming Rule 5 Draft. Did the Mets unnnecessarily add anybody to the 40-man roster? Did the Mets leave any glaring omissions and fail to add anybody to the 40-man roster that should’ve been?
Finally, the Wilponery of the Week.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
With the fifth week of Arizona Fall League action done and in the books, Steve reviews how the Mets’ contingent did.
After, the team discusses the 2021 St. Lucie Mets season. The St. Lucie Mets ended the season with a 60-5 record, the only non-complex, full-season team to post a record above .500 in 2021. Despite ending the season atop the standings in the Low-A Southeast East, narrowly edging out the Jupiter Hammerheads, who had more wins but an inferior win-loss record, the St. Lucie Mets missed the playoffs due to coronavirus-inspired postseason rule changes that hopefully will be temporary and not continue into 2022 and beyond.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the debacle that is the Mets’ front office search and how it is becoming increasingly clear that it is not “the pressures of New York” that are deterring candidates, but rather the New York Mets. We also talk about Zack Scott’s dismissal and the latest that has come out about the circumstances surrounding his firing.
We also pay tribute to the late Pedro Feliciano in the aftermath of his sudden passing.
Next, we talk about a report from Business Insider that details sexual misconduct by Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and discuss the toxic culture built by Barstool that continues to uphold men like Portnoy and Trevor Bauer.
We also discuss MLB’s requirement that teams cover housing for minor leaguers starting in 2022—a victory for minor league players and their advocates, but something that should be the beginning of change, and not the end.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
With the fourth week of Arizona Fall League action done and in the books, Steve reviews how the Mets’ contingent did.
After, the team discusses the 2021 Brooklyn Cyclones season. The Cyclones ended the season with a 48-70 record, dead last in the High-A Northeast East, 22.0 games behind the first place Hudson Valley Renegades. While the team itself might not have racked up the wins, several individual players lived up to expectations and several more outperformed how we thought they would perform. On the flip side, sadly, some did not exactly live up to expectations. Still, good or bad, who can’t appreciate Brooklyn baseball?

The Brooklyn-born Joe Sambito had a dominant stretch as a reliever for the Houston Astros in the late 70s and early 80s. While he had great personal success—making an appearance in the All-Star Game in 1979—his team couldn’t quite get over the hump in the playoffs, suffering heartbreaking playoff defeats in 1980 and 1981.
Sambito’s career was derailed in 1982 by Tommy John surgery. He wouldn’t make it back to the majors until 1984, and could never quite regain his previous form. He hoped to get back to form with his hometown team, but struggled mightily for the 1985 Mets.
As fate would have it, he would latch on with Boston in 1986, where he would assume a role in the bullpen for a team that would finally see some playoff success—only to fall short in the World Series against the Mets.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
With the third week of Arizona Fall League action done and in the books, Steve reviews how the Mets’ contingent did.
After, the team discusses the 2021 Binghamton Rumble Ponies season. The Ponies ended the season with a 47-60 record, third place in the Double-A Northeast Northeast, 19.0 games behind the first place Somerset Patriots. While the team itself might not have racked up the wins (thought had it not been for a COVID-19 outbreak, they might have won a few more and might have even made at run at .500 for the season), several individual players on the team lived up to expectations and several more outperformed how we thought they would perform.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
With the second week of Arizona Fall League action done and in the books, Steve reviews how the Mets’ contingent did.
Following that, the team discusses the 2021 Syracuse Mets, who ended the season with a 47-69 record, tied for worst in the Triple-A East Northeast along with the Rochester Red Wings, and one of the worst records in the entire all of Triple-A baseball (East and West) period. Suffice to say, it was not the type of season that we expected going into the beginning of the year.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets cannot seem to land the front office personnel that they want, and so they find themselves in the same place they’ve been for three of the last four postseasons: without the proper resources to put together an on-field team. Also discussed are the potential qualifying offers the Mets may consider and how much of a full tear down this team needs.
Chris’s Music Pick:
Ezra Furman - Twelve Nudes
Brian’s Music Pick:
Van Halen - Fair Warning

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Timo Perez began his professional baseball career over in Japan before the Mets scouted him and took a flyer on him prior to the 2000 season. A strong minor league campaign earned him a September call up, and his speed and versatility helped him find a place on the Mets’ postseason roster.
When regular right fielder Derek Bell went down with an ankle sprain in the first game of the playoffs, manager Bobby Valentine somewhat surprisingly turned to Perez to take over for him. Perez immediately provided the desired spark and seemed destined to put himself in the lore of unlikely baseball postseason heroes, until an unfortunate base running mistake cost the Mets a run in a World Series Game 1 they would lose in extra innings.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
First up, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas tackle a Promote, Extend, Trade. Lukas is in charge this week, so you just know he has to make it about Mass Effect.
Next, the team goes over the Mets’ performances in the AFL. Are they meaningless? Probably! Thankfully our discussion got interrupted by some great breaking news, as MLB announced that they will provide minor leaguers with housing starting next season. We’ll discuss that in more detail on next week’s pod.
After that, we go over our all-organization teams. Suffice it to say, filling out a full second team from this system is a bleak proposition.
Wrapping things up, the Wilponery of the Week.

With the end of the 2021 season just passed, Chris and Brian look at the possible outcomes of the Mets’ failure to make the playoffs. The dismissal of Luis Rojas, which was absolutely expected, happened on Monday, and so the off-season strategy for populating both the front office and the coaching staff is discussed, as well as a playoff preview.

This week, we begin by handing out grades to each Mets player, as well as the front office and Luis Rojas. We also discuss Luis Rojas’ firing and the latest front office rumors.
Next, we talk about a piece from Michael Rosenberg of Sports Illustrated bringing in BDSM experts to discuss the Trevor Bauer situation.
We also talk about two prominent pieces in ESPN and The Athletic about the mental health crisis in the minor leagues and the poor conditions players face—an issue that is thankfully receiving more national attention as we head into CBA negotiations in the offseason.
We would like to thank each of our Dollars for Dingers pledgers, who helped us raise over $12,000 for the National Domestic Violence Hotline this year.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
D.J. Dozier was a three sport star in high school, excelling in baseball as well as football and basketball. While he was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 18th round out of high school, his future seemed to lie in football, as Dozier accepted a scholarship to—and starred at running back for—Penn State.
Dozier won a National Championship in college and was a first round draft pick in the NFL for the Minnesota Vikings, But he never quite abandoned his interest in baseball. He would sign a free agent contract with the Mets and work his way up through the minors in 1990-91—while continuing his football career over the winter. In 1992, Dozier would make it to the majors with the Mets for 47 at bats, making him one of the rare athletes to play in two professional sport leagues.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Kenny Greer is a member of a somewhat exclusive club—one of the few players involved in a rare trade between the Mets and Yankees. The career minor leaguer toiled for six years in the Yankees organization before coming to the Mets for Frank Tanana in an also rare September trade in 1993.
Thanks to a confluence of expanded September rosters and an incredibly long 17 inning game, Greer got an opportunity to make his MLB debut—and throw one of his 13 career MLB innings—as a New York Met, hurling a perfect 17th inning and recording a win—his only career victory, and one of only 59 in a painful 1993 season for the Mets.

In our baseball segment this week, we talk about the dugout spat between Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. We also discuss the rising cost to attend a baseball game and how that makes the game inaccessible to fans.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
The Mets signed Kevin Collins as a 17 year old in 1964. The infielder was rushed to the majors due to combination of baseball’s pre-draft era waiver rules and the young team’s many needs, and injuries and a lack of proper development time would soon stunt any opportunity for Collins to flourish.
Passed on the organizational depth chart by other youngsters such as Bud Harrelson, Collins transitioned to a role as a utility infielder. After missing out on an opportunity to claim a platoon role at third base in early 1969, the still young infielder would soon miss out on experiencing the Miracle Mets’ run, as he became a key component in the trade that brought eventual 1969 World Series MVP Donn Clendenon to New York.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
The Mets drafted Mike Scott in the second round of the 1976 draft, hoping the hard-throwing right-hander would develop into a future pitching star. Unfortunately, Scott never developed a secondary pitch and his Mets career would fizzle out.
After some mixed success in his first couple of years in Houston, Scott would learn how to throw the split-fingered fastball from Roger Craig. With this new pitch—or perhaps some illegal doctoring of the ball—Scott would find sudden and massive success. And would make himself the biggest potential obstacle in his former team’s dramatic and treacherous path to the 1986 World Championship.

The Mets took two of three games from the Yankees over the weekend, giving one last injection of hope into this maddening season. But then the Cardinals came to town, and the Mets’ season looks more lost than ever. Plus, Steve Cohen continues to tweet, and no one seems particularly happy about that.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
While the Mets have had a relatively successful road trip thus far, the mismanagement of the team, both on and off the field, continues to be alarming. Whether it is the team's less than honest reporting of the Jacob deGrom injury, Luis Rojas's in-game management, or the continued mess that is the front office, it appears that the Mets need to clean house this off-season. Will they? That remains to be seen.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing what feels like at LEAST a month’s worth of Mets crammed into one week—soon after Javy Báez’s post “thumbs down” storybook ending, the Mets went on a winning streak. But amidst all of that, acting GM Zack Scott was arrested and charged with a DUI and subsequently placed on administrative leave by the Mets.
In his media availability yesterday, Sandy Alderson characterized all of the “unbecoming” behavior on the part of Mets front office personnel as “unrelated” incidents, not necessarily indicative of a single flaw in the Mets’ hiring process. We discuss the wrongheadedness of this characterization and the fact that even when Alderson knew about bad behavior on the part of his employees in the past, he chose not to act.
We also talk about Alderson’s update on Jacob deGrom’s injury, in which apparently deGrom’s elbow magically healed itself!
In our baseball segment this week, we talk about speculation around the industry that Trevor Bauer will be suspended for “at least one year” by the league under its domestic violence policy, which would at least match the longest suspension ever handed down under the policy.
We also discuss an ill-advised tweet on the part of former MLB (and Mets) reliever Kyle Farnsworth about Trey Mancini and how it reflects the toxic masculinity ubiquitous in the game.
A reminder that Dollars4Dingers has begun! You can make your pledge here.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
When Brian and Chris last podcasted, things looked incredibly different for the Mets than they did when they recorded on Wednesday night. After a four-game winning streak (three if you’re being pedantic and don’t consider the suspended game victory as part of the win streak), the Mets looked poised to capitalize on a big win. The ‘thumbs’ scandal was behind them, and despite a rainout, things looked sunnier than they have in weeks.
And then, Interim General Manager Zack Scott was arrested for a DUI early on Wednesday morning, and the reality of the Mets’ management situation came back into clear display. Chris and Brian attempt to make sense of all of this, how it will affect this season and who, if any, of these folks will be around in 2022.
Chris’s Music Pick:
Steve Gunn - Other You
Brian’s Music Pick:
The Kinks - Muswell Hillbillies

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ “thumbs down” gesture and the ensuing media circus and what it says about the relationship between players and fans.
Next, we tell our Mets origin stories—how we all became Mets fans, how we started at Amazin’ Avenue, and the story of how the podcast was born.
Then, we answer questions from our listeners about the future of the Mets, our ideal Citi Field experience, favorite away ballparks, and more.
Finally, we launch #Dollars4Dingers2021! Our in-person #Dollars4Dingers raffle event will be on September 25th at 5:00pm at Katch in Astoria, Queens. We hope to see you all there! In the meantime, we will be raising money to benefit the National Domestic Violence Hotline for every Mets home run hit from September 3 through the end of the season on October 3. You can make your #Dollars4Dingers2021 pledge here.
We wrap things up like we always do with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Randy Milligan spent parts of seven seasons working his way up through the Mets minor league system. Buried on the depth chart behind the powerful, star-studded 1980s Mets, Milligan had an MVP season in AAA Tidewater and was a personal favorite of a very young Norfolk child named David Wright.
Milligan would go on to have a solid and unappreciated MLB career, toiling mostly for some poor teams and flashing one particular skill—an incredible batting eye—that wasn’t quite as appreciated in the pre-Moneyball era.
Milligan would make his most important contribution to the Mets’ organization after his playing days were over, as his path would intersect again with Wright when Milligan became the scout to help sign Wright for the Mets.
If you’ve got an idea for a player to be featured on UnforMETable, let us know in the comments.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
Starting things off, Steve discusses how the Mets’ minor league system did last week.
After, following up on our conversation from Episode 130, the team takes a look at a few specific players and highlights in detail how they have improved in 2021 and how those improvements will cause them to be more highly ranked on our 2022 Top 25 Mets Prospect list.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
Things have not looked good for the Mets all month, and things continue to be bleak around the team. Brian and Chris (unsuccessfully) search for reasons for optimism, beyond players returning from the IL, before, essentially, declaring the season lost. Prove us wrong, Mets!
The topic of Jerry Koosman’s long overdue number retirement comes up, and the question of what other number(s) the Mets should retire is posed.
Chris’s Music Pick:
Mavis Staples - Live in London
Brian’s Music Pick:
The Durutti Column - LC

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by talking about the Mets’ horrible West Coast road trip, which furthered their demise and whether there is any reason at all for optimism now that Javy Báez and Francisco Lindor are back in the lineup.
Next, we have a discussion about retired numbers. Should the Mets be more inclusive when it comes to number retirement? And how should off the field matters factor into the decision when it comes to some members of the 1986 team?
On our baseball segment this week, we talk about the outcome of Trevor Bauer’s hearing and what might happen moving forward. We also point out that the Mets have “spoken with” the founder of Driveline Baseball, which infamously counts Bauer and Luke Heimlich among its clients.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Jack Fisher had already established a reputation as a workhorse before the Mets acquired him in a special draft for the recent expansion teams prior to the 1964 season. His tenure in Baltimore was solid, even if he is primarily remembered there for surrendering historic home runs to Ted Williams and Roger Maris.
With the Mets, Fisher would make 133 starts over four seasons—most notably taking the hill and throwing the first pitch in Shea Stadium history. Fisher’s tenure as a Met would draw to a close as the Mets young rotation featuring Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman would begin to take shape.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets have lost five of six on their tour of the National League West, and have not seen the return of any of their injured stars. Things were looking dire, and then Steve Cohen tweeted about how bad the offense is playing. It's been a hell of a week on Mets Twitter, and that says a whole lot.

Ty Segall - Harmonizer

This week, we begin by lamenting the fact that the Mets have gone from toast to burnt toast since our last episode. We also discuss how this could potentially be fixed moving forward and if it can be fixed at all.
Next, we talk about the latest developments with the Trevor Bauer situation—new reporting from the Washington Post about an Ohio woman who filed a protective order against Bauer last year and a breakdown of the first two days of testimony in court.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Philip Humber was drafted third overall by the Mets in 2004 with great hope—one pick after the Tigers selected Justin Verlander.
Humber would suffer through arm problems before suddenly getting thrust into a key game pennant race in 2007, as the Mets’ once commanding division leaf began to evaporate.
While his Mets career would end after that start, as he was traded for Johan Santana, he would go on hurl a Perfect Game in one of his 16 career MLB wins--and his only ever complete game.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ horrible slide from first place in the NL East to third place, culminating with Zack Scott’s press conference in which he threw his players under the bus. We discuss why “accountability” is something that seems to only apply to players and not management.
Next, we talk about MLB’s possible partnership with Barstool and how alienating it would be for a large portion of the fanbase.
We also shout out Brittany Ghrioli’s article in The Athletic about the conditions minor league players are dealing with—an issue we are glad is getting more national media attention. Since being called out on this issue, the Mets have made nominal improvements, but it isn’t enough.
We also ask our listeners to sign the International Women’s Baseball Center’s petition to bring the IWBC to Rockford, IL, which would help them build an activity center for local kids, have baseball-centered education for students of all ages, preserve of this historic ticket booth in Rockford, and more. Please also give a small donation if you can; they do really great work.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Esix Snead has a name you can’t forget, with some of the best speed of his era to boot. Unfortunately, his speed was his primary skill, and his Mets, and MLB career, was not as memorable as his name.
Snead had two Major League call ups with the Mets, with one very memorable game in September of 2002 against the Montreal Expos. In that game, Snead didn’t just show off his speed, but gave fans a glimpse at what a more complete player Snead had the chance to become.

The Abbey Road cover was shot on this date back in 1969, so the team looks at some of the most iconic Mets photos in Promote, Extend, Trade.
After, Steve and Ken hand over the mic to Lukas and Thomas to kvetch about the Mets’ abysmal draft, since they weren’t able to join in the emergency rage recording in the wee hours of the night last week.
Next, the team talks about the Olymics, and Team USA’s second place medal.
Following that, they talk about the state of the Mets minor league system in light of Baseball America writing a pair of articles highlighting the best and worst teams in minor league baseball today and the quality of play on the field.

Next, we delve into the Kumar Rocker situation—why it was a disaster that the Mets didn’t sign him, the organizations lack of a backup plan, and how the whole situation is illustrative of how fans are constantly conditioned to side against players and with management.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
A college star at UCLA, Eric Valent was a supplemental first round draft pick for the Phillies in 1998 who seemed to have a bright future. However, his progress through the minor leagues seemed to stall at AAA.
Acquired by the Mets as a minor league free agent prior to the 2004 season, Valent had an impressive season—culminating in his signature game in New York—a July 29 game in Montreal in which Valent would become (at the time) the eighth Met in franchise history to hit for the cycle.

The USS Nevada was an indestructible ship that was finally put to her grave on this date decades ago, so the team looks at the most indestructible baseball players in Promote, Extend, Trade.
Next, the team discusses the MLB trade deadline, the acquisition of Javy Baez & Trevor Williams, the departure of Pete Crow-Armstrong, some rumored moves that did not happen, and where we go from here.
After that, Steve and Ken have an emergency late night discussion regarding the embarrassing end to what will go down in history as one of, if not THE, worst drafts in Mets history. A warning to the faint of heart: more cursing takes place during this segment than in the entire history of From Complex To Queens combined.

This week, Brian and Chris discuss the two newest Mets, Javier Baez and Trevor Williams, and debate how they’ll fit into this team.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by reviewing how the Mets’ second half has gone so far—Pete Alonso’s hot streak, J.D. Davis’ return from the injured list, Francisco Lindor’s injury, the acquisition of Rich Hill, and the need for still more pitching help.
Next, we talk about the Mets’ needs ahead of the trade deadline and potential trade targets.
We also discuss Simone Biles dropping out of the team gymnastics competition at the Olympics and how it harkens back to discussions we’ve had previously on the podcast about the importance of mental health and recognizing the humanity of athletes.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
In this week’s Walk-off Win, Allison shouted out an amazing artist named Elise Dodoles, who received a grant from the Russell J. Efros foundation to paint a series of paintings of women playing baseball.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
The 1988 Mets seemed poised to cruise into their second World Series in three seasons and a glamorous matchup with the Oakland A’s. That was before they ran into the force that was Orel Hershiser that season.
The Cy Young winner battled through a lengthy recovery from labrum surgery in the early 1990s to remain a viable major league pitcher. He was a solid veteran presence for a Cleveland team that won two American League pennants in three seasons before coming to the team he once denied to try to do the same in 1999.
In the twilight of his career, Hershiser nevertheless lived up to his Bulldog nickname, battling and having some memorable moments in his sole Mets season—winning his 200th game, donning the ill-fated uniform of the Mercury Mets, and providing crucial innings in the Grand Slam Single game.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
Steve witnessed a shocking upset while watching the GCW Homecoming show in Atlantic City this past Saturday, so the team discusses some shocking moments in video game history in Promote, Extend, Trade.
After, Steve unfortunatley gives the last CPBL/KBO/NPB update. He has a new job and unfortunately does not have the time to keep with the Mets minor league system and the three foreign teams that we have been following simultaneously. We encourage everybody who has enjoyed the updates to continue independently following the CPBL/KBO/NPB, because baseball is worldwide!
Following that, the team discusses Steve Cohen’s failure to meet his self-imposed deadline to address how the Mets are going to better provide for their minor league players and the things that the organization has and has not done since they were first publicly shamed into action a few weeks ago.
After, the team talks about how the Mets’ minor league affiliates did in this twelfth week of the 2021 season.
Finally, in Oh Yeah, That Guy!, Thomas recaps the career of Brooklyn Cyclones legend Danny Garcia.

This week, From Complex to Queens co-host Lukas Vlahos sits in for Chris. Brian and Lukas discuss the recent acquisition of Rich Hill, and what sort of an impact Hill may make on the Mets rotation for the rest of the season. They also discuss the bizarre series in Cincinnati, other potential moves the Mets may make in before the trade deadline and the rumored changes made to the minor leagues, in terms of compensation and housing.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
With the 2021 MLB Draft in the rearview mirror, we take a look back to June 1984, when the resurgent Mets were in first place—and held the first overall pick in the draft. The team would use that pick on Shawn Abner, a “can’t miss” high school outfielder the team envisioned in a future outfield with Darryl Strawberry.
As the organization quickly transitioned from rebuilding to contending to World Champions, the prospect quickly became trade fodder, as the team packaged him to acquire Kevin McReynolds. Abner would struggle in the majors; ultimately ending his career back in the minors with the Mets’ organization.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the legal ins and outs of the Trevor Bauer situation with Sheryl and what does (and does not) constitute consent. We also touch on her personal as a victim and her interactions with Bauer’s representatives.
Next, we shout out the first all-female MLB broadcast in league history and talk about how it should be just a first step toward a more inclusive game. We also talk about the Olympics, their precarious situation regarding COVID-19, and the uneven standards the IOC has used for competition and the problems that represents for diversity and inclusion.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The All-Star break is typically a time when your team is, more or less, out of the news. But the combination of the MLB Draft, the Home Run Derby, and the All-Star Game itself has led to a lot of Mets news. Brian and Chris discuss Pete Alonso's prodigious dinger hitting, Taijuan Walker's deserved appearance in the mid-summer classic, and the newest marquee Met, Kumar Rocker.
Chris and Brian's Music Pick:
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

This week, we begin by celebrating Pete Alonso’s second straight Home Run Derby victory. We also give Taijuan Walker much-deserved kudos for being named as a National League All-Star and get hyped about Kumar Rocker.

Next, we talk about the latest on the investigation into allegations of sexual assault against Trevor Bauer and not letting the Dodgers simply wash their hands of him without being held to account.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Pat Zachry hit the ground running in his major league career—winning a share of the 1976 National League Rookie of the Year award while winning a dame in each of the NLCS and the World Series with the Cincinnati Reds.
Zachry would go from first to last in mid-1977 when the struggling Big Red Machine matched up with a dysfunctional Mets organization on a trade that would send Zachry and three others to New York in exchange for the iconic Tom Seaver.
Between the infamy of the trade and his struggles with injuries, Zachry would never fully settle in or be embraced, but he flashed some solid pitching at times—though his record would often not reflect that as he toiled for some horrible Mets teams.

This week, we begin by bemoaning how the Mets can’t seem to score any runs, despite the fact that many of their position players have returned or are close to returning from the injured list.
Next, we discuss the fact that the Mets do not provide their minor league players a housing stipend, which is unacceptable and something that Steve Cohen should rectify immediately.
We also talk about the recent accusations against Trevor Bauer, the first disciplinary action under the new foreign substances policy, and the lawsuit Tyler Skagg’s family is bringing against the Angels organization.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Matt Franco pursued a career in one of the two great passions of his family—not acting, like his uncle Kurt Russell—but baseball—also like Russell, who had an early career in minor and independent league ball.
Franco would make it further than his uncle—or his grandfather before him—enduring a long road in the minors before MLB debut with the Cubs in 1995. But it was with his trade to the Mets in 1996 that Franco would find his home, as the primary pinch hitter for some successful late 90s Mets teams.
Franco’s patience at the plate and clutch bat would deliver often in a pinch—never more memorably than in the Subway Series against Mariano Rivera in 1999.

Next, Steve gives updates on our adopted CPBL/KBO/NPB teams, the Uni-Lions (CPBL), the LG Twins (KBO), and the Yakult Swallows (NPB).

Jason Fry is someone who has been able to take his passions and, not just appreciate them from afar, but get so deep into them, he winds up on the inside. What does that mean? Well, Jason went from Mets fan to writer who had access to the team and an audience to share his opinions with.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
While many of the Mets faithful are fully entrenched within the confines of Panic City, Brian and Chris remain slightly more optimistic about where the Mets find themselves. That is, namely, in first place and with a winning record. The cavalcade of injuries marches on, and the hosts dig into the latest round of the replacement players, including last night’s starter, Tylor Megill.

This week, we begin by discussing all the latest pitching injuries while hoping for the best with Marcus Stroman. We try to come up with possible trade targets and found out that the Pirates should be avoided at all costs.
Next, we talk about the pine tar pat downs and the gamesmanship between Joe Girardi and Max Scherzer. We then discuss the shameful way minor leaguers are treated when a team didn’t know where they were going to sleep and debated about sleeping in their cars.
We move on to the Seventh Inning Stretch where we answer a thought exercise from a listener. Would we trade Jacob deGrom for five players who would guarantee the Mets make the World Series four times in the next eight years?
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Chris Jones was primarily a bench player and backup outfielder in the middle of a journeyman career when he joined the New York Mets in 1995.
Jones quickly developed a knack for dramatic moments in New York, delivering two walk off home runs during the 1995 season, and two more the following season. His four walk-off home runs tying a record for the most in franchise history.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets’ home stand resulted in the team taking two of three from the Padres and three of four from the Cubs. Jacob deGrom had a perfect game going and then pulled himself out due to a shoulder injury, which turns out to be nothing serious. Despite all of this, there’s a segment of Mets’ fandom is still down on the team, which Brian and Chris just can’t understand.
Plus, they discuss the coming roster crunch and answer some difficult questions about the future of some of the current Mets.

Devo - Freedom of Choice

Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
A young, hard throwing right hander in the Boston Red Sox organization, Tracy Stallard earned an unfortunate spot in baseball’s record books when he surrendered Roger Maris’s historic 61st home run in 1961.
Stallard would join the Mets in their second season of existence and spend some time in the team’s starting rotation. As a Met, he would once again find himself on the wrong end of baseball history as he toed the rubber on Father’s Day 1964 against Jim Bunning—who would go on to throw the first Perfect Game in the National League since 1880.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets have completed a 5-4 road trip against the Diamondbacks, Padres, and Orioles and remain in first place in the National League East. And yet, while most of the team, including its depth, continues to inspire confidence, David Peterson is still getting starts at a time when the poor dude looks absolutely lost up there. Brian and Chris discuss potential solutions to the Peterson situation, the continued offensive dominance of one William Landis “Billy” McKinney, and the potential for a long offseason in the winter and spring of 2022.
Chris’s Music Pick:
Mission of Burma - ONoffON
Brian’s Music Pick:
The Breeders - Title TK

This week, we begin by discussing Diamondbacks broadcaster Bob Brenley’s racist remark about Marcus Stroman during Tuesday night’s broadcast.
Next, we talk about the Mets’ continued strong play of late, thanks to Francisco Lindor, James McCann, and Dominic Smith all suddenly swinging hot bats. We also wax poetic about how we are spoiled getting to watch Jacob deGrom every fifth day and witness history before our eyes.
In the second half of the show, we cover MLB’s plan to crack down on foreign substance use by pitchers and what this means for the game. We also talk about LGBTQ+ representation in baseball and how rainbow avatars on Twitter are an empty gesture without action.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers shortly before their move to Los Angeles, Charley Smith was a prospect with some power who was never able to get an opportunity to establish himself in the majors across three organizations early in his young career.
That opportunity finally came with an even younger franchise just moving into their new home in Queens in 1964. Smith would endure a massive struggle after joining his new team—finally ending his 0-26 start with an infield single to third—before finally settling in an ultimately leading the team in home runs in 1964 with 20.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Born in Brooklyn and having grown up on Long Island, the Mets tabbed local prospect John Pacella in the fourth round of the 1974 draft. The local boy would make brief appearances with the team in 1977 and 1979 before making a bit of a mark in 1980.
In addition to a stretch of solid starts in the middle of the season—including outdueling Steve Carlton for his first major league victory—Pacella gained some notoriety for his wild pitching motion, which caused him to lose his baseball cap on virtually every pitch.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing all of the highs and lows of the month of May for the Mets—the seven-game winning streak, the Patrick Mazeika magic, the terrible series in St. Petersburg and the bullpen breakdown, and then the rash of injuries. But somehow the Mets are still finding ways to win, as they have done the past two days, thanks to the self-proclaimed “bench mob.” And they are still in first place in the NL East.
The long list of injuries is not just a Mets problem, however. In the second half of the show this week, we talk about how injuries are up all across the league, particularly soft tissue injuries. We also talk about how Kevin Pillar’s gruesome injury is indicative of a baseball-wide issue—pitchers throwing harder and harder with less and less control.
We also discuss Tony La Russa being the absolute worst and remind our listeners that Mickey Callaway still has a job.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Brian Bannister was drafted by the Mets in 2003, and made it to the Show in 2006. While he only made a handful of starts before getting injured, Bannister showed potential for the team, and was used as a trade chip in the off-season. From there, he went to Japan, to the Red Sox’s coaching staff, and now to the Giants’ front office.

Mike Puma has been on the Mets beat for the New York Post for 12 seasons, and had covered the team for the Connecticut Post part-time before then.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Adam Wilk was signed prior to the 2017 season as an option for rotation depth or as a possible left-handed option out of the bullpen. But Wilk was unexpectedly pressed into action when the team suddenly needed a starter after suspending Matt Harvey for failure to report to a game on time.
Wilk had to travel across 5 states in 24 hours, taking a redeye to New York, landing and reporting directly to Citi Field to take the mound—only to endure a drubbing at the hands of Giancarlo Stanton and the Marlins and get unceremoniously designated for assignment the following day.

Brian Baker only became a Met fan when he moved to New Jersey in the mid-2010s, but he has made up for lost time. If you’re a fan of punk rock, you know Brian as the founding bassist of Minor Threat, founder/guitarist/songwriter of Dag Nasty, the guitarist in Bad Religion since the mid-90s, and, most recently, as the guitarist in both Fake Names and Beach Rats.
Hosts Chris and Brian geek out for 40 minutes or so with Brian about the time he played with Carlos Santana as a tween, this most likable of Mets teams, and much, much more.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets have finished a seven game road trip, coming back to Queens after playing 4-3 on the road. That happened despite a rash of injuries, the bats still not exactly waking up, the firing of their hitting coaches, and games against the two current division leaders in the East and Central. Brian and Chris discuss these topics, as well as bizarre fan deductions, on the show this week.
Chris’s Music Pick:
Cory Hanson - Pale Horse Rider
Brian’s Music Pick:
Michael Shire - All the President’s Men

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the past couple of weeks of Mets baseball, which have been quite the rollercoaster between the slumbering Mets offense revived by Donnie Stevenson, the firing of Chili Davis, deGrom’s lat issue (he should be fine), and a benches-clearing incident over the weekend.
Next, we talk about how pervasive poor umpiring has been across baseball this year.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
A glove-first, middle infield/utility player, Mario Diaz labored in the minor leagues for seven years before making his major league debut with the Mariners. After brief appearances Seattle from 1987-1989, Diaz was traded to a Mets team looking for middle infield depth with Kevin Elster struggling with injury.
Diaz spent a brief time on the major league roster, primarily as a late inning replacement. On July 25, 1990, he entered late into what seemed to be a blowout Mets’ victory—that quickly and dramatically descended into a tense struggle. After a 10-3 lead had evaporated to 10-9, Diaz snared the last out of the game—and became an impromptu part of one of the iconic Bob Murphy’s most memorable calls.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
Last week, Brian and Chris lamented the cold bats, and this week, they’ve frozen over. As frustrating as that is, they don’t think it is time to panic yet, citing the usual reasons (weird schedule, usual April shenanigans, past performance). They also debate the fifth starter situation and celebrate the surprisingly effective bullpen.
Then, Brian chats with John Stolnis of the Good Phight (@JohnStolnis) to discuss the upcoming series with the Phillies.
Chris’s Music Pick:
Dinosaur Jr - Sweep It Into Space
Brian’s Music Pick:
Various Artists - Tropicália: ou Panis et Circencis

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Signed as a minor league free agent prior to the 2009 season, Omir Santos seemed to be an organizational depth piece. Injuries got him a chance on the major league roster, which enabled Santos to provide a few memorable moments—including a Citi Field milestone and a dramatic game-winning home run as a surprise contributor to a club with high aspirations that would ultimately disappoint.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
Brian and Chris are flummoxed by the Mets, as they aren’t hitting en masse, but they are still in first place, and the pitching has been pretty good (well, at least it was until Wednesday night in Chicago). We know we need to be patient, but this has been such a weird last year and change, it’s tough to remember what the ups and downs of a regular season feel like in the moment.
But, Chris shouts out Miguel Castro, Brian praises Trevor May, and both are loving the Stro Show.
Chris’s Music Pick:
Comes With the Fall - Beyond the Last Light
Brian’s Music Pick:
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality

This week, we have a conversation with fellow Amazin’ Avenue writer, Grace Carbone. We had planned for this to be a fun episode about films, but of course we had to begin the show by discussing the latest reporting in The Athletic about the Mets’ toxic culture and the years-long poor treatment of women by the front office.
But ultimately this was mostly a fun episode about films. We chat with Grace about the upcoming Oscars—her favorite films and performances of the year, her predictions, and our favorite categories. We also each name our favorite baseball films.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
In acquiring Mac Scarce in the 1974 offseason the Mets were bringing on a young, left handed reliever who had an impressive 1973 before struggling a bit in 1974. Still, the team seemed to think enough of him—and young catching prospect John Stearns—to part with franchise icon Tug McGraw in a trade.
That sentiment wouldn’t last long, though. Scarce would become a fascinating footnote in Mets history by facing one batter and surrendering a game ending single—appearing in one game and officially pitching zero innings—before being traded away four days later.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Julio Franco began his professional baseball journey when he was signed by the Phillies as a young shortstop out of the Dominican Republic in 1978. It was a journey that would ultimately land him in Flushing with the New York Mets almost 30 years later.
With his career seemingly winding down in the late 1990s, Franco spend four seasons overseas before working his way back to the majors in his 40s. The veteran would sign with the Mets prior to the 2006 season, providing leadership—and some historic hits—for a young team on the rise.

The Mets, Citi, and No Kid Hungry have been working together on the Citi Community Home Runs Program, where every home run hit at Citi Field sees Citi donate $2,000 to No Kid Hungry, an organization that fights food insecurity in New York and beyond. Over $1 million has been donated by Citi thus far, capped off by a Pete Alonso home run in the final game of the 2020.
To talk about this program, we have Head of Citi Retail Services David Chubak, as well as the first Mets ambassador for the program Curtis Granderson, as well as their current ambassador, Pete Alonso. We talk about the program, Instagram, guitars, salmon, and lots, lots more.
Due to COVID-19, an estimated 1 in 4 children face hunger today. In New York City, that number could rise to 1 in 3 children. Citi will be donating $2,000 for every Mets home run hit at Citi Field during the 2021 season. Also new in 2021 is the CCHR Fan of the Game Sweepstakes.

Chris Forsyth is a guitarist and songwriter who releases music as a solo artist and also as the leader of the Solar Motel Band. He compares his music to that of the late, great John Fahey, but instead of synthesizing the blues down to its most prime elements, Chris does that with rock and roll. Chris’s songs find room for improvisation without sacrificing melody. He’s also a huge Mets fan, and we talk about both of those parts of his life on today’s episode.
You can follow Chris on Twitter (@thechrisforsyth), and check out his Bandcamp page to become better acquainted with his music.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Let’s hop in the wayback machine all the way to the 2018 offseason, when new general manager Brodie Van Wagenen tried to put his mark on the team with some dramatic moves. After a major trade to acquire closer Edwin Diaz and second baseman Robinson Cano, the Mets tried to expand their offensive depth by signing veteran utility man Jed Lowrie.
Lowrie’s two year contract was an endless string of mysterious leg injuries. The frustration of never seeing this acquisition take the field was only exacerbated by the organization’s opaque handling of the information regarding Lowrie’s condition. The frustration surrounding his Mets tenure seemed to provide an all-too appropriate coda to a strange 2020 baseball season and a frustrating Wilpon ownership tenure.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
As happens with alarming frequency, Chris and Brian recorded this episode less than an hour before the Mets and Francisco Lindor agreed to the 10 year, $341 million extension. So, with that said, please ignore about half of their gripes expressed therein.
Aside from the Lindor stuff instantly rendered moot, Brian and Chris discuss their overall impressions for the season, highlight some players they’re excited about, and, again, just couldn’t have timed this worse with Lindor.
Chris’s Music Pick:
Fu Manchu - California Crossing
Brian’s Music Pick:
Toadies - Hell Below/Stars Above

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the latest on the Lindor extension talks, which are still not resolved, despite now being less than 48 hours away from Opening Day. We hoped we would get to break news live on the podcast as we recorded Tuesday night, but alas, it did not happen.
But we did get to discuss our general excitement about Opening Day and the fact that the Mets promoted a woman to be Head Team Physician.
We also talked about reporting from The Athletic that revealed that the Mets have hired a law firm to review their workplace culture. While it is good they are doing something, we question whether a law firm is the right choice for this task. In the same article it is reported that MLB’s investigation of Mickey Callaway—who still has a job—will not be complete by Opening Day.
In our baseball segment, we discussed the dubious framing of Odubel Herrera’s status with the Phillies as a labor issue, as well as actual labor issues, such as the Cubs lowballing their franchise player.
To inject some levity into the show in light of Steve Cohen’s announcement that the black jerseys are coming back, we had a hearty debate about whether the black jerseys are good or bad; our hosts are evenly divided on this issue.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
With the organization reeling financially from the Bernie Madoff fallout, Sandy Alderson tried to unearth hidden gems. Such was the hope when the team acquired Collin Cowgill— an undersized outfielder who had posted some solid minor league numbers—prior to the 2013 season.
Cowgill had a great spring training, winning a spot as the team’s starting center fielder. This looked like promising development when Cowgill announced his presence with a memorable Opening Day performance—including a grand slam—in an 11-2 victory. Cowgill would lose his job by May, and be off the team before the end of June—but he’ll always have that UnforMETable Opening Day performance.

This week, we begin by talking about Carlos Carrasco’s Grade 1 hamstring strain and what that means for the starting rotation.
Next, we discuss the latest on the Francisco Lindor and Michael Conforto extension talks.

After, the team takes a look at the upcoming 2021 MLB Draft in the The Second Annual Way-Too-Early Draft Special! Steve is a fan of Jud Fabian, an outfielder from the University of Florida.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we welcome Deesha Thosar from the Daily News to discuss covering the Mets and her observations from spring training.
We also had to talk about the tumultuous offseason including the firing of Jared Porter and Sandy Alderson’s handling of the situation. You should definitely read Deesha’s piece she wrote the night the Porter news broke to get her perspective of what it is like to be a woman working in the baseball industry.
We turned to some lighter subjects including her viral tweet of the team celebrating the 27 outs drill, her favorite story of the time the team plane was delayed because of Dom Smith, and the article she wrote after Mickey Callaway threatened a reporter.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Every Thursday, deputy site manager Brian Salvatore has been hosting a chat on the Locker Room app, where Mets fans can have a talk-radio like experience discussing the topic of the week. This week, the room's theme was 'the biggest misses of the off-season." In addition to the usual suspects - George Springer, Jackie Bradly Jr,, and some bullpen help - the gang also discusses the lack of Asian players in Major League Baseball, the World Baseball Classic, and why Kevin Pillar and Brandon Nimmo might be a damn good platoon.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
Right before recording, the news broke that Carlos Carrasco’s elbow was barking a bit, and the Panic City Digest went back into production. Brian and Chris try not to subscribe right away, but are a little concerned about the bullpen. They also discuss the José Martinez injury and the reassignment of Trevor Hildenberger in camp.
Then, Chris and Brian attempt to predict the 26-man Opening Day roster. While most of the offensive positions are pretty well set, there are a fair amount of pitching questions. With the steep wager of one draft beer, who will get closer to the actual roster with their guesses and taste victory when the world opens up?
Chris’s Music Picks:
Altin Gün - Yol
Brian’s Music Pick:
Perfect - Once, Twice, Three Times a Maybe

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the Taijuan Walker signing, José Martínez’s unfortunate knee injury, and the Mets’ resulting interest in third baseman Maikel Franco to provide righty pop off the bench. We also discuss spring training storylines, with the bullpen and defense being areas of concern.
We conclude our Mets segment by expressing our excitement about the impending extension talks between the Mets and Francisco Lindor this week.
In our baseball segment this week, we discussed former Seattle Mariners president Kevin Mather’s chat with the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club, which embodied a lot of the things wrong with the game today—racism, collusion, service time manipulation, and other general rich guy nonsense. These things are not exclusive to Mather or the Mariners, but Mather happened to say them all out loud on video for everyone, including his own players, to hear.
We also remind our listeners that, as of today, Mickey Callaway still has a job.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
A batboy in the Mets’ organization when his brother Marcus played in the team’s minor league system, it might have seemed fated that Matt Lawton would suit up for the Mets.
Lawton came to the Mets at the 2001 trading deadline, where the struggling team were clear sellers, only to be part of a team that had a memorable and emotional stretch run highlighted by Mike Piazza’s memorable post-9/11 home run.
The team saw the skilled, all-around player as a potential piece of the future, but when the ultimately ill-fated opportunity arose to bring Roberto Alomar to Queens, Lawton’s tenure as a Met came to an abrupt end.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Although Joan Whitney Payson was certainly not obscure in her day—whether as a socialite from a prominent New York family, or in her endeavors in the worlds of art, horse racing, and philanthropy.
But Payson’s other love was baseball—she owned a small stake in the New York Giants, and fought to keep them in New York when the team moved to San Francisco. Which made her a natural fit as an owner to help spearhead a drive to bring a new baseball team to New York—first in a proposed new league, but ultimately as a New York entrant in the National League that would soon be christened the Metropolitans.
As fans celebrate the new owner of the New York Mets, and the promising direction that Steve Cohen’s ownership seems to augur, we look back at the woman who shepherded the franchise into existence.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
Note: This was recorded before the trade for outfield prospect Khalil Lee.
The Mets did not land Trevor Bauer last week, and Brian and Chris are fine with it. There is a lot about the signing to discuss, however, and so they welcome Eric Stephen of True Blue LA to the show to discuss the on the field and off the field implications of a Bauer deal.
Before we dig into Bauer, we discuss the Mets’ two newest acquisitions, outfielder Albert Almora Jr and utility man Jonathan Villar, as well as the prospect of fans being at games as early as Opening Day.
Chris’s Music Picks:
Tame Impala - Lonerism
Brian’s Music Pick:
Bohren and Der Club of Gore - Patchouli Blue

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we have an emergency pod to talk about the allegations of sexual misconduct made against former Mets manager Mickey Callaway. We discuss Sandy Alderson’s statement, what these incidents reveal about the Mets hiring process and the pervasiveness of this toxicity across the sport, a lack of accountability, and what a bad idea signing Trevor Bauer would be in the aftermath of all of this.
But, as always, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

This week, we briefly cover the Mets’ trade for Joey Lucchesi before launching into Jared Porter’s harassment of a female reporter and subsequent firing by the Mets. This prompts a greater discussion of baseball’s toxic culture and how the Mets’ interest in Trevor Bauer makes their words about “integrity” and “zero tolerance” ring hollow.
We also pay tribute to the late Hank Aaron, give an update on our fundraiser, and preview our next show in two weeks, which will be an interview with author Andrea Williams.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue in Conversation, a podcast from Amazin’ Avenue where we invite interesting people on the show to talk about themselves, the Mets, and more.
Trevor May recently signed a two-year deal with the Mets, but he’s more than just an exciting new piece of their bullpen. He’s a gamer, a standout on Twitch, a co-owner of a team in the new Fan Controlled Football league, and, judging from our conversation, a whole lot more. One of the most engaging guests we’ve had on the show, Trevor talks about his transition to the bullpen, his time playing in Chris’s neck of the woods, the game that made him into a gamer, and his go-to karaoke choice.
You can find out more about Fan Controlled Football and Trevor’s team, the Zappers. at the FCF website. Watch him game on Twitch, check out his two YouTube channels (IamTrevorMay and Trevor May Baseball), and follow him on Instagram and Twitter.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
This week, Brian and Chris gather to discuss the blockbuster trade that the Mets pulled off on Wednesday. And while it is sad that Andres Gimenez and Amed Rosario now play in Cleveland, Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco now play in Queens. Let’s take that in for just a minute.
During the show, the Lindor/Carrasco trade is held up against other big Mets trades of the past, the critics of the trade - and yes there are some - are debated, and there’s generally a lot of disbelief that we are actually here, with one of the five best players in baseball manning shortstop for the Mets.
Chris’s Music Picks:
Mike Watt - Contemplating the Engine Room
Brian’s Music Pick:
Pixies - Bossanova

This week, we went live on Facebook and started things off with surprising our listeners with Maggie Wiggin’s triumphant return to the podcast! We began the show with a quick chat about the latest Mets rumors and the relatively slow free agent market.
Next, we did another Insomnia Cookies tasting, answering your questions from Facebook between bites.
In the light of the recent discourse surrounding Hall of Fame balloting, we announced another fundraising effort—call it a “mini Dollars4Dingers”—for victims of domestic violence. Anyone who makes a donation in any amount to the National Domestic Violence Hotline or your local women’s shelter/domestic violence charity of choice and sends us your receipt (via Twitter DM to @apodoftheirown or via email to aa.apodoftheirown@gmail.com) will be entered into a drawing for several pieces of Mets memorabilia. We will do this drawing on an episode of the show in late February when pitchers and catchers report. Let’s get fundraising!
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

This week, we have Elizabeth Muratore of our sister blog Rising Apple on the show. We begin by discussing Elizabeth’s Mets fandom and how she began writing about the Mets. We also wax poetic about the Mets blogging community and going to Mets games in the Before Times.
Next, we talk about the Trevor May signing and what we expect out of the new regime at this week’s winter meetings.

We cite the Phillies’ failed rebuild, the Rays not building on their success, and the prominent non-tenders across baseball as other indicators.
We also salute the late Dick Allen, who should be in the Hall of Fame.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing Sandy Alderson becoming the president of baseball operations after their search did not go as they hoped. We then move on to Robinson Cano’s suspension for PEDs and what that means for the team as well as Charlie Morton signing with the Braves.
Next, we talk about how excited we are for Kim Ng and how we hope to see more women get involved in baseball. We contrast her with the pitcher who must not be named and his agent and the dynamics at play between the two.
Then we had to talk about domestic violence once again, this time involving postseason star Randy Arozarena.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins which morphed into what Mets-related thing we are thankful for this holiday season.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast Amazin’ Avenue focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
Believe it or not, but Toy Story turns 25 today, so the team takes a look in their toy boxes to see who and what they’ve forgotten about in Promote, Extend, Trade.
After, with the completion of the Uni-President Lions, LG Twins, and Yakult Swallows seasons, the team hands out end-of-season awards and takes a look at La Liga de Béisbol Profesional de la República Dominicana (LIDOM) to establish some rooting interests there.

Finally, following Steve Cohen’s introductory press conference and some major news regarding the future of the Mets’ minor league system, the team discusses what things are going to look like for 2021 and beyond and how that will have an impact on the players in the system and minor league baseball as a whole.

Welcome to APOTO (The Show), an all-star show hosted by Linda Surovich and Allison McCague from A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue and Brian Salvatore from Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show). This is the first, but hopefully not the last, collaborative show of this kind during the 2020/2021 offseason.
First up, we discuss new Mets owner Steve Cohen’s introductory press conference, where he not only got up the hopes of the entire Mets fanbase, but also broke some new ground for ownership by saying “Black lives do matter” into a microphone at an official team event. We discuss Cohen’s wealth, his management style, and some of the ideas he hopes to implement to the Mets in 2020.
Next up, we discuss Marcus Stroman, a new/old Met, who accepted the team’s Qualifying Offer on Wednesday. The $18.9 million contract helps the Mets’ rotation in a number of ways, and may allow the team to avoid playing the Trevor Bauer game, especially as his price likely rose considerably after wining the National League Cy Young Award last night.
Next, the show transitions into a discussion of new Chicago White Sox manager Tony LaRussa and the revelation of his 2020 arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol. We move from this irresponsible behavior to the irresponsible behavior of Justin Turner, who celebrated on the field, mask down, after testing positive for COVID-19.
Brian’s Music Pick:
Stone Temple Pilots - Purple
Linda’s Music Pick:
Various Artist - Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Allison’s Music Picks:
Frederik Wiedmann - The Dragon Prince, Season 1 Soundtrack
YG and Nipsey Hustle - “FDT”
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Mickey Lolich was a young, fireballing left-hander who had a notable career with the Detroit Tigers. Lolich had the fortune to shine brightest on MLB’s biggest stage, spinning three complete game victories in winning the World Series MVP in the Tigers’ 1967 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals.
When the Mets decided to part with a beloved and productive member of the franchise in Rusty Staub after the 1975 season, the team brought the veteran Lolich to New York in an ill-fated trade. While the 1976 team had a decent season, Lolich did not enjoy his time in New York—so much so that he retired for a year rather than fulfill the last year of his contract.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing Steve Cohen’s impending approval by MLB owners and how Bill de Blasio is grandstanding over a technicality. We also referenced a piece that appeared in The New Yorker about Cohen’s company’s financial past and talked about Jeff Wilpon’s final Zoom call with his employees.
Next, we have little sympathy for MLB owners crying poor, although ratings of the World Series have been down this season, despite compelling postseason storylines—Randy Arozarena, Clayton Kershaw, a wild Game 4 ending, and more.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

This week, we lament the lack of Mets news, as well as the loss of Mikkeller NYC, which Chris reflected on earlier this week.

Chris’s Music Pick:
Ty Segall - Manipulator

Superdrag - In the Valley of Dying Stars

Anthony DiComo started at MLB.com as an intern in 2007. He’s been on the Mets beat since 2011, and over that time developed a good relationship with David Wright. Now, just two years after his retirement, Wright and DiComo have written The Captain: A Memoir which just came out on October 13th. Anthony talks with host Brian Salvatore about how he got into writing, working with Wright on the book, and the weirdness that was the 2020 season.

This week, we begin by discussing free agency and who the Mets should be in on this offseason, especially with the addition of Steve Cohen. We then discuss the news that should Cohen be approved he will invest heavily in analytics and he announced that he will continue to pay the workers who were affected by the pandemic.
Next, we again felt the need to talk about the difference between Marcus Stroman and Trevor Bauer since many folks on Twitter can’t figure out why we prefer one over the other. Bauer again harassed a woman on Twitter under the guise of “innocent fun” and the media continues to prop him up.
Speaking of the media, Walker Buehler’s pants became a topic of discussion postgame and some in the media thought this was valid journalism.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Butch Huskey was a promising power prospect in the Mets organization in the mid-90s. With a build to match his name and scouts comparing him to Mark McGwire, there were high hopes that Huskey would unlock that power for the Mets.
A player without an obvious position on the diamond, Huskey had a solid 1997 season with the bat, with a personal highlight for him proudly sporting his #42 on Jackie Robinson Night at Shea Stadium on April 15, 1997. But Huskey never quite matched the heights some hoped he would reach, and he watched other prospects zip past him as the late 90s Mets climbed from obscurity to contention.

Celebrating the anniversary of PBS’ first broadcast on this date back in 1970, the team decides between classic PBS children’s shows we (presumably) grew up on in Promote, Extend, Trade.
After, Steve gives us an update on our adopted CPBL team, the Uni-President Lions, our adopted KBO team, the LG Twins, and our adopted NPB team, the Yakult Swallows.
Next, the team goes over a little housekeeping, from where the Mets will be making their first pick on the 2020 draft to following some high-profile minor leaguers as they get set for winter ball.
Finally, with Sandy Alderson back in the fold in some capacity beginning this winter, the team takes an extensive look at his time at the helm as Mets GM. This week, we review the trades, signings, and drafts that happened during his tenure from 2011-2014.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The 2020 season is over, and the Mets managed to end it in the most depressing way possible, with injuries, blowouts, a poor deGrom start, and missing out on the largest pool of playoff teams in history. But not all hope is lost; Steven Cohen has hired Sandy Alderson to run the Mets when/if the sale goes through.
Plus, reflections on chatting with David Wright and the "bubble" of the LCses and World Series.
Chris’s Music Pick:
Frankie and the Witch Fingers - Monsters Eating People Eating Monsters...
Brian’s Music Pick:
Fujiya & Miyagi - Transparent Things

Next, we talk about NL Cy Young contender Trevor Bauer and his history of bad behavior, both online and offline.
We also discuss the latest update in the Thom Brennaman situation—his resignation from announcing, his and the Reds’ bogus statements, and the unfortunate pattern of treating people in marginalized communities like opportunities to better oneself.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets’ playoff chances are looking less and less likely with each game, but the overall future for the Mets looks a little bright, or a little less Wilponian, with the announcement that Steve Cohen and the Wilpons have agreed on a deal to sell Cohen 95% stake in the Mets. Brian and Chris talk about what Cohen might mean for the team, and speculate as to what type of an owner he may be.
We then shift to the ‘hamstring spasms’ suffered by Jacob deGrom this evening, the continued excellence of Andres Gimenez, and what the rest of 2020 may look like for the Mets.
Chris’s Music Pick:
OSees - Protean Threat
Brian’s Music Pick:
Lo Tom - LP2

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the Wilpons officially selling to Steve Cohen and our complicated feelings on the matter.
Next, we talk about how once again Rob Manfred dropped the ball when it came to playing games in unhealthy conditions and how we’re not sure if he knows what the definition of a bubble is.
We then move on to “unwritten rules” once again making headlines and how respect only applies to certain baseball players.
To wrap up our baseball segment we discuss how dangerous a certain reporter can be when he continually gets scoops wrong but his latest screw up led to very real consequences for Giants’ player Alex Dickerson.
We were excited to announce a LIVE pod that will take place on September 26. It will be a Zoom event where we draw the winners from our #Dollars4Dingers fundraiser while we watch the Mets. Join us if you can!

With the Major League Baseball season having come to a premature end on this date in 1994, the team discusses events that they would’ve liked to have seen in Promote, Extend, Trade.
After, Steve gives us an update on our adopted CPBL team, the Uni-President Lions, our adopted KBO team, the LG Twins, and our adopted NPB team, the Yakult Swallows.
Next, the team discusses some roster minutia involving Franklyn Kilome and his potential role going forward.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Bill Denehy was a wild, fireballing young right-handed prospect in a Mets organization suddenly rife with them in the 1960s. Denehy’s fastball was considered second only to Nolan Ryan’s, and the team likely envisioned both of them headlining a rotation with the team’s recent young acquisition—Tom Seaver.
The Topps baseball card company agreed, featuring Denehy on a now quite valuable Mets’ Future Stars card alongside Seaver. Unfortunately, while Tom Terrific cruised to the National League Rookie of the Year Award, Denehy struggled and dealt with injuries, leaving the Mets willing to part with his as compensation to bring in the team’s desired manager from Washington—Gil Hodges.
Injuries and battles with addiction and rage short-circuited Denehy’s career, but he had a colorful and ultimately redemptive post-baseball life, and recently reminisced fondly about his former teammate and baseball card neighbor.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ dire starting pitching situation, with recent bad outings by Michael Wacha and David Peterson. We go on to talk about the Phillies series, in which Bryce Harper throwing a fit and getting ejected was a highlight.
Speaking of throwing a fit, we also talked about A-Rod and J-Lo’s frustration with the Mets’ bidding process and their desperate attempt to save their bid.
Joe West also got mad this week—at Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo. And he made some rather curious comments about the incident, which we covered.
We also announced our final #Dollars4Dingers pledge total of $2,153.40. Thank you, listeners!
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast Amazin’ Avnue focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
Forging ahead without Steve (who will be back next week), we start by remembering Akira Kurosawa, who died on September 6th 1985 in Promote-Extend-Trade.\
After that, we check in our adopted NPBL, KBO, and NPB teams. In short, time to give up the Swallows and go all in on the Twins.
We then talk about the two (technically three) trades the Mets made at the deadline last week, starting with Miguel Castro and ending on Todd Frazier and Robinson Chirinos. That extends into a long discussion about the Mets’ catching situation, who they might bring in next year, and a very interesting reclamation project that should be available this offseason.

This week, we welcome Jen Ramos to the show and begin by discussing the Mets’ COVID situation and how that impacts the team the rest of the way.
Next, we talk about Thom Brennaman using a homophobic slur on air and Jen Ramos discusses how baseball can do a much better job of being more inclusive and welcoming to the LGBTQ community. They gave the example of Kobe Bryant being suspended for using the same slur so Brennaman claiming ignorance of its meaning rang hollow.
They also talked about minor leaguer Tyler Dunnington who sadly quit baseball after overhearing teammates say gays should be killed and how baseball is losing talented people because they feel unwelcome in the sport.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Claudell Washington debuted in Oakland as a teenager at the tail end of the A’s early 1970s dynasty. While he never quite lived up to some predictions of a Hall of Fame level career, Washington became a solid, well-traveled offensive contributor.
His fascinating, lengthy career brought him to the Mets in 1980, where Washington had a solid half-season—including one historic three home run game that placed his name on a short list with Babe Ruth and Johnny Mize.

But, the 2020 season has had bright spots, including Robinson Cano, Andres Gimenez, Luis Guillorme, J.D. Davis, and Michael Conforto.
Next, we talk about Fernando Tatis Jr. upsetting the “unwritten rules” crowd with the grand slam he hit 3-0. On this podcast, we support fun players being fun.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Walt Terrell came to the Mets organization in a trade remembered more for the other piece in the deal—Ron Darling—as the two AA starters joined a struggling organization trading its lone fading star, Lee Mazzilli.
Terrell was the first of the team’s young pitching prospects to make the majors. And while he struggled at times on the hill, he had one of the most memorable days at the plate that a Mets pitcher has ever had. Then, just as he established himself as a solid major league starter, the team traded him for a potential power bat in Howard Johnson.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
The first reliever to capture a Cy Young Award after throwing over 200 innings across a stunning 106 games in 1974, Mike Marshall had an impressive major league career. After 700 appearances and 188 career saves, the coda to that career came in a New York Mets uniform, in a the second half of a season that might be the closest analog we have to this pending 2020 season—the strike-shortened 1981 season.
We’ll look at how a stretch of decent baseball put a .500 Mets team only a couple of games out of playoff position in the 50ish game sprint of the 1981 second half, as well as areas off the field in which Marshall had a lasting impact—such as his study of pitching mechanics and unlikely role in the development of Tommy John surgery.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we open the show with the storylines of Mets summer camp—Yoenis Cespedes dingers, the very Metsy free agent additions, and the fact that very few Mets outside of Jacob deGrom have guaranteed contracts beyond 2020 and therefore the luxury of being able to opt out of the season. We also chat about the latest rumors about the sale of the team and the resurgence of a possible Steve Cohen deal.
Next, we talk about this issue of opting out more broadly across baseball and how it is a luxury afforded only to the few players who have already gotten paid, while the rest of the players are faced with the difficult choice between their health and their livelihoods. We also discuss MLB’s bungling of the health and safety protocols, leading to many teams having to shut down their workouts.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

We mention both Vasilis Drimalitis’s and Stephanie Apstein’s articles on this subject that are absolutely worth reading.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast from Amazin’ Avenue focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
In part two of our special live 2020 Draft coverage, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas break down the players that the Mets selected on night two of the 2020 MLB Draft. Following the selection of Pete Crow-Armstrong on night one with their first round pick, the Mets made a few interesting and slightly surprising selections with their next five picks, selecting JT Ginn in the second round, Isaiah Greene with their compensation selection for losing Zack Wheeler, Anthony Walters in the third round, Matthew Dyer in the fourth round, and Eric Orze in the fifth round.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
When the Mets acquired Greg Goossen from the Dodgers organization for $8,000 prior to the 1965 season, the young catcher with power potential quickly became one of the more promising prospects in the young organization.
Goossen never lived up to his potential with the Mets, though he caught the notice of—and was the subject of memorable anecdotes from—both Yogi Berra and Casey Stengel.
Afterwards, his most successful season in baseball—in the sole season for the Seattle Pilots—landed him a supporting role in Jim Bouton’s iconic Ball Four, before his post-baseball career led him into the orbit of Gene Hackman, which he parlayed into a lengthy career of minor movie roles.

First, celebrating the 120th anniversary of Frank Baum’s Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the team decides what characters they would keep for a baseball team in Promote, Extend, or Trade.
After, Steve gives us an update on our adopted CPBL team, the Uni-President Lions, and our adopted KBO team, the LG Twins.
Finally, the team shares a bunch of their favorite minor league memories. We don’t know if there is going to be a minor league season in 2020, and regardless if there is one or not, the minor leagues will look very different in 2021. Rather than waste more time talking about how despicable Rob Manfred and the MLB owners are, they use their time constructively, talking about what a blast the minors are and they will be missed.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
When the Mets acquired Darren Reed from the Yankees in the 1987 offseason, one could reasonably have hoped the organization had pulled another coup along the lines of acquiring David Cone for Ed Hearn. The young prospect made a quick impression in the team’s first spring training in Port St. Lucie—beginning a string of impressive springs that let Ralph Kiner to refer to him as Mr. March.
Despite his memorable March exploits over several seasons, Reed never could crack the depth chart of the Mets impressive late 80s outfield before injuries began to chip away at his once promising future.

This week, because we are all looking for ways to inject a little joy into our lives in the absence of baseball, we celebrate the spirit of the Queens Cookie Club by hosting a cookie club of our own. Allison, Linda, and Maggie each bought a box of Insomnia Cookies and tasted all the flavors live on the pod, which we streamed on Facebook Live. Linda even recreated J.D. Davis’ cookie eating method. Spoiler alert: the cookies were pretty good.
But as we do every week, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

With a bunch of shows airing their season or series finales a bit prematurely thanks to coronavirus, the team chooses a few of the best in Promote/Extend/Trade.
After, they discuss who has stepped up and who could still be doing more regarding all of the outreach efforts to help minor league players that need assistance during these trying times.
Finally, they talk about the differences between high school baseball, college baseball, and professional baseball and why the numbers a player might put up in the first two are not necessarily indicative of the numbers he might put up in the last.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast from Amazin’ Avenue focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
John S. Pemburton first synthesized his recipe for Coca-Cola on this date back in 1886, so the team discusses their most and least favorite Coke variations in Promote, Extend, Trade.
After, they discuss their favorite minor league prospects that they followed never made it to the major leagues or never had their career trajectories pan out as expected. Steve reminisces on Juan Urbina, Lukas recalls Fernando Martinez, Ken remembers the recently-retired Cameron Planck, and Thomas discusses Colby Woodmansee.
Finally, they talk about Brian Cole, who tragically died in a car accident on March 31st, 2001. Cole rocketed up through the Mets’ minor league system from 1998-2000 and seemed poised to crack the major league roster before losing his life. His brief minor league career almost a mirage, many of the best players of the era still call Brian “the best player you never saw.”

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
We last recorded an episode from the East Coast of Florida, tingling with anticipation for a new baseball season. Man, oh man, how times have changed. Now, Brian and Chris discuss what a year without baseball may look like, both from a fan’s perspective and from a contractual one.
Then, we discuss what the status of Noah Syndergaard will be for 2021 after his Tommy John surgery, as well as take a look at the Mets’ pitching situation for 2021 and beyond.
Both of our music picks can be found in the “Amazin’ Avenue Recommends” series article on music, publishing later today.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Tony Fernandez sadly passed away last month after a long battle with kidney disease at the age of 57. Known primarily as a key figure on some great Toronto Blue Jays teams of the 1980s, Fernandez would come to the Mets in 1993 as the latest in a long line of veteran name acquisitions. The franchise was foolishly hoping to recapture its fading glory, but instead put together a collection memorialized as “The Worst Team Money Could Buy.”
We will look back at Fernandez’s impressive career, his disappointing tenure with the Mets, his untimely death, and his historic ranking as a fine candidate for a “Hall of Very Good

This week, we begin the show by discussing the latest updates on how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting baseball from the delayed season to paychecks for minor leaguers and stadium staff to how the schedule may look if baseball is even played at all. We also emphasize the importance of our baseball community and maintaining a sense of normalcy during these uncertain times.
Next, we have the pleasure of chatting with Renee Dechert of Purple Row and getting to know the Rockies better. She tells us all about growing up in Wyoming (the home state of Brandon Nimmo), what brought her to baseball writing, Nolan Arenado trade rumors, what she expects from the Rockies this year, and more.

This week, Steve is joined by Jeremy Wolf, who was drafted by the Mets in the 31st round of the 2016 MLB Draft and now runs More Than Baseball, a player advocacy group that looks to “empower every ballplayer with opportunities to live a better life during and after their careers.” Who was his favorite team and player growing up? What was it like to be drafted by a professional baseball team? How does More Than Baseball provide assistance to current and former minor league players? As a Jewish athlete, how does it feel to represent Israel on the international stage?

In honor of Hachikō and Seymour, two dogs that waited for their deceased owners to return to them until their eventual deaths, the team decides between some of saddest, most gut-wrenching moments in animation in Promote, Extend, Trade.
Next, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas follow up on their selections in the The Inaugural Way-Too-Early Draft Special! and give updates on the seasons their respective picks have had so far.
After, the team celebrates 50 episodes of From Complex To Queens by going back into the Amazin’ Avenue archives and reminiscing about the very first Daily Farm Reports that they ever did.

Finally, Steve sits down with Michael, who runs @adoptmilbplayer. Michael shares why he started this very worthy project and how you can sponsor a minor league player who could use the help.

A few days late, Chris arrives in Port St. Lucie, so he and Brian decamped to the Vine and Barley to record a live podcast. We were joined in person, and very occasionally on the mic, by Amazin’ Avenue alum Tim Finnegan to discuss what we saw and heard around Mets camp on Thursday and Friday.
Plus, Brian got a chance to have brief discussions with both Dwight “Doc” Gooden and Gary Cohen, and you get some lovely ambient bar noise, which may or may not include some animated patrons requesting tunes and singing along with the live entertainment.

This week, we begin the show with excitement because baseball is back! We talk about our bold predictions for the Mets in 2020 and the biggest story lines heading into spring training, including the ridiculous double-standard surrounding the media’s treatment of Yoenis Cespedes compared to Madison Bumgarner.

Then, we welcome a special guest in D.B. Firstman, brilliant baseball writer and wordsmith whose book Hall of Name: Baseball’s Most Magnificent Monikers hits stores next month. They share their journey to writing this book (and what Mets make the cut!) and weigh in on the latest MLB rumblings.

This week, we begin by discussing the Wilpons outdoing themselves and torpedoing another potential sale of the team. (timestamp)
Next, we talk about a mish mash of topics that we felt were all worthy of discussion. First was death of Kobe Bryant, the complicated legacy he leaves behind, the press coverage, and the rush to be first instead of accurate. We then move on to Kris Bryant losing his grievance against service time manipulation and what the ramifications could be of that decision. We next discuss the Super Bowl and end with several Mets taking a stand against domestic violence. (timestamp)
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise. (timestamp)

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Long before he would be known primarily as the father of the reigning National Football League MVP, Pat Mahomes had a long, winding baseball career. His days as a top prospect for the Twins long past, Mahomes was an unheralded acquisition for the Mets prior to the 1999 season.
However, Mahomes soon proved a reliable reliever for Bobby Valentine and his 1999-2000 playoff squads, contributing some clutch innings down the stretch as the 1999 squad fought tooth-and-nail for a playoff spot, and coming up big again during the postseason. It was a memorable time for Mets fans, Mahomes, and his young son Patrick Mahomes II, who shagged flies in the Shea outfield back then, and still occasionally sports his dad’s Mets jersey now.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Coming off of a painful end to the 2007 season and with Paul LoDuca aging, Mets General Manager Omar Minaya made the decision to trade his former top prospect Lastings Milledge to bring in Brian Schneider and Ryan Church from the Washington Nationals.
Considered a defensive stalwart, Schneider served as the primary backstop for the Mets in their fateful last season at Shea Stadium as well as their first season at Citi Field—even scoring the Mets first run in their new ballpark.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
After some glories in the 80s, the Mets bottomed out in 1992 and 1993, suffering incredibly disappointing seasons. With Generation K still in the minors, there didn’t seem to be much to get excited about an underachieving veteran team.
Then in midseason, the unheralded Rico Brogna came up from the minors for an injured David Segui and started hitting. And kept hitting. Until seemingly only an MLB strike could stop him.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast from Amazin’ Avenue focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
In a Christmas themed Promote, Extend, Trade, the team decides which Christmas carols to keep and which to get rid of.
After, Steve realizes that, after 38 episodes of this show, numerous appearances on other podcasts, and countless Daily Prospect Reports and other minor league-related features and articles, the Amazin’ Avenue minor league team has never actually introduced ourselves to our readers and listeners. So, we take this time right before the Top 25 Prospects for 2020 list drops to do so. What connection does Steve have to Jerome Williams? Where did Lukas post before Amazin’ Avenue? Who is this enigmatic guy named Kenny? Is young lion Thomas going to go through with his hazing?

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin with a chat about what the Mets are doing—or not doing, as the case may be—at the winter meetings.
Next, we talk about the day we never thought would come: the Wilpons’ sale of the team to current minority owner Steve Cohen, who will eventually take control of the team five years down the line. We also wrestle with the ethical issues involved with Cohen’s checkered past and give a shoutout to Sheryl Ring’s fantastic writing on the topic, and other topics of interest to the show.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

After, they discuss Stephen Strasburg agreeing to sign a 7 year $245 million contract to stay with the Nationals, and what that means for the other four teams in the NL East heading into 2020. They then wrap up with a discussion of how the Strasburg contract compares to the Jacob deGrom extension, before running through some quick reactions to smaller signings and stories from the meetings.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
First up this week, Brian and Chris discuss the upcoming change in ownership, and the various aspects of that deal, including some wishful thinking and some, perhaps, some reluctance to acknowledge that the deal might not happen or, at very least, take a long time to work.
Next up, we discuss some of the Mets’ that fans didn’t acknowledge for their greatness at the time, and transition that into a discussion of the Mets’ new coaching staff.
We then discuss the trade for Jake Marisnick, and try to understand the seeming anger from certain corners of the fanbase over this trade.
Finally, we discuss the departure of Zack Wheeler, and the various aspects of this departure, from the price tag, to the avoidance of a trade at the deadline, to the lack of an extension a few years ago.

Altin Gün - Gece
Brian’s Music Pick:

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.
Before Nate Silver borrowed his last name as an acronym for his baseball projection system, Bill Pecota was the quintessential utility player. He moved between AAA and the majors for the Royals so often, his teammates nicknamed him “I-29” after the interstate between Omaha and Kansas City.
Pecota was coming off a career year in 1991, when the Mets were looking to salvage some last glory days out of a 1980s near-dynasty running on fumes. He came to the Mets as a piece in a huge trade for Bret Saberhagen and—like the Mets franchise—had an incredibly disappointing 1992 season. Though he did manage to make a footnote in Mets history as the first position player to ever toe the rubber.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast from Amazin’ Avenue focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
First, inspired by Steve’s love of Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia, the team ranks what 2019 West Virginia Power players they’d want in the Mets minor league system in Promote, Extend, Trade.
After, Steve, Lukas, and Kenny look at some of the more interesting names that played in the Dominican Summer League and/or Gulf Coast League in 2019. From Jace Beck to Josh Wolf and Robert Colina to Fernando Villalobos, they shine some light on an area that is often a black hole of information.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin with a look at the surprisingly appealing new additions to the Mets coaching staff and share our thoughts on early Mets trade rumors.
Then, we welcome back Friend of the Show Dr. Meredith Wills, whose latest piece for The Athletic is a continuation of her incredible work on the construction of the juiced baseballs, this time looking at the truly baffling situation with the baseballs in the 2019 postseason. There is other great reading on this topic from Rob Arthur in Baseball Prospectus, where he first observed that the postseason baseball was dejuiced...and then maybe that it wasn’t, and also from Katie Strang in The Athletic, where she follows a thread unearthed by Dr. Wills that calls into question some of Rawlings’ messaging.
We also take a step back to consider how this fits in with the sign-stealing scandal and other threats to baseball’s integrity. And lastly, in what might be baseball’s biggest threat yet, Dr. Wills leads us in an impassioned plea to MLB to save our minor league teams from extinction, a topic our very own Allison McCague has written about in this recent must-read from Baseball Prospectus.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
And if you missed her the first time around, or just want to refresh your memory of one of our best interviews yet, check out Dr. Wills’s APOTO debut from this past April.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast from Amazin’ Avenue focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
First, inspired by the formation of the Texas Rangers, the team looks at past trades the two teams have had between each other in Promote, Extend, Trade.
Next, they review the 2019 Syracuse Mets season. It was a long journey getting to Syracuse after a strong, stable relationship with the Tidewater/Norfolk Tides for almost 40 years. Their inaugural Syracuse Mets season ended in heartbreak, but overall, it was a strong year.
After, the team analyzes all of the minor league free agents that were signed to fill out the Syracuse roster and discuss who they’d like to see back for the 2020 season.

First, inspired by the Expanded Universe contributions that the Star Wars Holiday Special gave us, the team discusses what Mets players autocorrect would have a field day with in Promote, Extend, Trade.
Next, they review the 2019 Binghamton Rumble Ponies season. On paper, it was a solid team with its fair share of prospects and farmhands, but after getting off to a decent start in the first half, things spiraled out of control in the second half.
After, Steve chats with John Trupin and the two discuss the city of Binghamton and the attendance issues that the Rumble Ponies (and B-Mets before them) struggled with.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
Randy Niemann was a well-regarded prospect who made a sensational debut with the Astros in 1979 before his struggles and some ensuing arm injuries derailed his career. Signed by the Mets in 1985, the lefty made his debut for New York in September of that season before earning a place in the back of the bullpen for the mighty 1986 team.
Niemann was not a huge contributor to that team during the regular season—nor did he make an appearance in the team’s stirring run to the World Series title—but that didn’t mean that he wouldn’t participate in post game celebrations. Much to the chagrin of a certain bow-tie favoring team executive.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
Kevin Bass came to the Mets in the summer of 1992, as New York tried to stoke the flaming embers of a near dynastic run and make a desperate playoff push.
Bass’s most indelible tie to the franchise, though, was at the apex of the mid 80’s Mets run. As an All Star right fielder for the 1986 Houston Astros, Bass represented a formidable piece of the opposition’s offense in the 1986 National League Championship. And he came to the plate against Jesse Orosco for one of the most memorable at bats in Mets history

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
When last we spoke, the potential firing of Mickey Callaway was merely a twinkle in our eyes - now we unpack the ins and outs of why he’s gone and who’s looking to fill his shoes.
Next, we unpack the Braves’ half-assed statement on their usage of the Chop during the postseason (and take a little victory lap over their elimination embarrassment).
Then we look at the ways this postseason was shaped by domestic violence and talk about how abusive actions can be addressed outside of a legal context
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
First up, Chris and Brian reflect on Mickey Callaway’s two-season tenure as Mets’ manager, and talk about some of the particular low lights of his tenure.
Then, in the midst of discussing potential candidates - including Carlos Beltran, Joe Girardi, Robin Ventura, Mike Metheny, Clint Hurdle and more - Chris lands on a galaxy brain idea that every front office should legitimately implement.
And, finally, we try to nail down the one quality we really want in a Mets manager.
Chris’s Music Pick:
Ty Segall - First Taste
Brian’s Music Pick:
David Byrne’s American Utopia on Broadway

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
With a strong team headed towards a second straight playoff appearance for the first time in franchise history, the Mets made a minor move to bolster their depth prior to the 2000 trade deadline, acquiring relief pitcher Rick White from Tampa Bay, along with outfielder Bubba Trammell.
The journeyman righthander would go on to pitch two crucial innings in the Mets’ 2000 National League Division Series battle with the San Francisco Giants, setting up one of the most memorable moments in team playoff history—Benny Agbayani’s walk-off home run to win Game 3 in the 13th inning.

First up, Brian and Chris run down the exciting end of the season, with specific focus on the Mets’ final weekend at Citi Field. We discuss the improbability of Dominic Smith’s heroics, and the sad reality that he is likely done as a Met.
We next turn to Pete Alonso, as we celebrate his 53 home runs, and talk about a certain crosstown team’s fanbase having an issue with his emotions on Saturday night.
Mickey Callaway’s job status gets a quick discussion, before we reveal our playoff preferences.

Next, we talk about how some of what made the Mets fun this year was that they actually tried to win and more teams should do that.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
Coming off a season a bit like 2019, with a promising young core that threatened but missed the playoffs, Omar Minaya entered the 2005 offseason intent on bolstering one of that season’s great weaknesses—the bullpen.
Along with signing closer Billy Wagner, Minaya engineered a trade for promising Dodgers set-up man Duaner Sanchez. The righthander was dynamic in the eighth inning, providing a stabilizing bullpen presence for a team cruising to the 2006 National League Eastern Division title. Until a fateful cab ride in Florida just prior to the deadline in July 2006 derailed Sanchez’s career—and one can only wonder how it altered the course of the Mets’ 2006 postseason.

First up, Brian and Chris discuss the end of the Mets’s season in real time, as the Brewers defeated the Reds to clinch the second Wild Card spot. A discussion of what a ‘successful’ season means ensues, as does a look ahead to next season’s roster construction for what is likely the first of 20+ times.
Next, they discuss the (hopeful) end of the Mickey Callaway era, and look back at what has been a truly disastrous season from the Mets’ skipper.
Finally, the boys have a discussion of Pete Alonso’s likely Rookie of the Year and Jacob deGrom’s hopeful CyYoung Season, and talk about how both players are truly at the top of their games, and how fun that is to see.

We then wrap things up like we always do with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise. (This week all of our co-hosts have a very unsurprising joint Walk-off Win.)

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
Doug Flynn spent the first two years of his major league career as a member of one of the greatest teams in history—Cincinnati’s Big Red Machine of 1975-76.
With the late-70s Mets flailing and feuding with their biggest star, Flynn would come to the Mets as a piece in one of the most infamous trades in Mets’ history—the Midnight Massacre that saw Tom Seaver sent away from the franchise.
After a rocky beginning, Flynn settled in as a light-hitting middle infielder with an impressive glove. Flynn was a favorite of both manger Joe Torre and the fans for a moribund franchise, and in 1980 became only the third player in team history to take home a Gold Glove for his work at second base.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
Drafted in the 38th round in 1999, Mike Jacobs had a long route to the majors, but eventually got called up to the Mets in August of 2005.
Despite homering in his first major league at bat, the team saw Jacobs as a temporary solution, and planned to send him right back down to the minors. However, thanks in part to the intervention of future Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez, Jacobs stayed with the big club—and had an epic September.
Jacobs looked like he might be part of a core of young Mets stars, with David Wright and Jose Reyes—but he would soon become a key part of a trade that would bring Carlos Delgado to New York instead.

Next up, the state of the bullpen is discussed, with particular frustration at how Mets fans have been frustrated at the state of the bullpen since the off-season.
Finally, we play a round of ‘what if we were Mickey Callaway?’ and talk about how the Mets should approach the final weeks of the season.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
Drafted a round before Gary Carter—and out of the same high school as Darryl Strawberry—Ellis Valentine had the type of talent that had people touting him as a future Hall of Famer.
Valentine’s career got off to an impressive start with the Montreal Expos before some combination of injuries, off-field problems and an on-field beanball led to the precipitous downslide of his career at the tender age of 26—and right around the time of his acquisition by the New York Mets.
Hear about Valentine’s fascinating career—including a memorable television appearance—and his impressive post-baseball work.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue in Conversation, a new podcast from Amazin’ Avenue where we invite interesting people on the show to talk about themselves, the Mets, and more.
Noah Syndergaard needs no introduction. One of the most electrifying athletes in sports today, Snydergaard is part of the Mets' young rotation that looks to be a dominant force in baseball for years to come. He's also one of the most legitimately funny athletes on social media, something that can be gleaned from following him on Twitter (@noahsyndergaard) and Instagram (@nsydnergaard).
Noah has partnered with Great Clips for their Back to School promotion, which helps underfunded schools throughout the country. On Thursday, September 5, Great Clips and Noah will visit PS 111 Adolph S Ochs in Hell’s Kitchen to hand out school supplies and to deliver a donation of $40,000. The money will go towards a monthly hot meal program for students and families that live in temporary housing as well as to fund extracurricular initiatives such as an after-school drama club and an African-inspired music and dance program.
To help out, download the Great Clips app and make a difference in the lives of kids across the country.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, the Mets are on a roller coaster and we’re along for the ride. Big wins and big losses have dominated, but Big Pete has broken the Mets season home run record and we are so happy for him.
Next, we welcome Sara Sanchez, host of the fantastic Cubs podcast Cuppa Cubbie Blue. We talk rivalries, old and new, how our respective playoff runs feel, and how we cope when our teams are made up of people we can’t cheer for. Sara wrote an emotional must-read about Addison Russell’s return to baseball for Bleed Cubbie Blue earlier this year.
Then, we share our Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
And finally, we wrap things up with a special announcement - we are pledging to donate to the National Domestic Violence Hotline for each home run the Mets hit in the month of September and we want you all to join us! The amount can be small or large, public or private, all that matters is that we support this amazing organization. Follow us on Twitter for more updates and to let us know you’re on board!

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
As the Mets welcome the Cubs to town in a pivotal series with playoff implications, we look back at a utility player who divided the bulk of his major league career between the two franchises—Chico Walker.
Hear about Walker’s extensive time in the minors—including his participation in a game that made professional baseball history. Walker ultimately fought his way to a role on the Chicago bench, but he started and made a notable appearance in a memorable game in Mets’ history in 1986.
Eventually, Walker found his way to the Mets, where he finally received the most playing time in his career—albeit for The Worst Team Money Could Buy.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
This week, A Pod ofTheir Own’s Allison McCague sits in with Brian to discuss the injury to Marcus Stroman, and how that affects the team’s playoff hopes.
Next up, we discuss how the players around the fringes have been excelling for the Mets as of late, and compare Joe Panik and Brad Brach to similarly effective 2015 acquisitions.
We round out the episode with the three things we’ve all come to expect from a baseball podcast: hamstring injuries, boner pills, and 90s pop-punk.

Green Day - Warning
Brian’s Music Pick:
Colleen Green - Dude Ranch as Played by Colleen Green

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we’re pretty jazzed about how well the Mets have been playing, including the starting pitching stepping it up, Amed Rosario continuing to roll, Juan Lagares’ strong week, the solid addition of Joe Panik, the potential returns of Brandon Nimmo and Jed Lowrie, and more. But most of all, we’re excited about Pete Alonso breaking the single-season home run record for an NL rookie.
Next, we expand upon a previous discussion about attempts to expand the game to a younger audience, this time focusing on Major League Baseball’s partnerships with Facebook and YouTube, weighing the pros and cons of broadcasting games on those platforms.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
With Marcus Stroman, Steven Matz, and Joe Panik on the scene, the current Mets feature an inordinate number of players on the team with New York connections. Today we look back a player the Mets drafted straight out of Francis Lewis High School in Queens in 1966—Mike Jorgensen.
Hear about Jorgensen’s first tour of duty with his hometown club—how he missed out on being a part of the 1969 Miracle Mets, and was traded for to the Expos for Rusty Staub. He enjoyed the best seasons of his career in Montreal, then endured a career—and life—threatening moment in Texas before returning back to the Mets, where he had a couple of memorable moments in the early 80s before finishing his career with the rival Cardinals.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
As the Mets are streaking in real life, we look back at a young outfielder who burst onto the scene with the the Mets in 1975. Mike Vail seemed like the next big thing as he quickly set a team record—and tied a National League record—with a 23 game hitting streak.
Hear about Vail’s memorable streak, the notable Met figure who was traded to clear space for Vail in the outfield, and his slow flameout from phenom to former Met. You’ll also learn about Vail’s intriguing roommate from the Gulf Coast League, who went on to make a (different) name for himself in another realm of sports entertainment.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
With the trade deadline just in our rear view mirror, we look back at the brief Mets tenure of reliever Royce Ring. Ring was a first round draft pick of the Chicago White Sox, heralded as a closer of the future. While his career with the Mets—and afterwards—was not particularly notable, the trades which brought Ring to Flushing and sent him away were memorable ones in franchise history.
Hear about Ring’s brief tenure with the 2005-2006 Mets squads, and about his continued connection to the Mets organization.

Next, we have a special guest - Jen Mac Ramos of Baseball Prospectus. We talk about their fantastic new database of Women’s Baseball World Cup statistics and what it means for women’s baseball, life as a baseball writer and researcher, and what they thought of the trade deadline.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
As the trade deadline approaches, we take a look at the career and Mets tenure of the colorful, well-traveled Willie Montanez. Traded eight times in the course of his career—including being involved in one of the most memorable trades in major league history—Montanez eventually found his way to the Mets in the 1977 offseason.
In one of the bleaker seasons in Mets history, the first basement injected some much-needed verve into a moribund season, his memorable and stylized home run trot even inspiring some memorable spoofing. Hear about Montanez’s tenure in Queens along the way of his many major league stops.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
Though current and future generations may come to know him more as the father of Fernando Tatis Jr.—visiting town this week with the San Diego Padres—Fernando Tatis was once himself a top prospect in baseball in the late 1990s.
We’ll hear about the promising start to his career—including a history-making day in 1999 when the third baseman became the only player in baseball history to hit two grand slams in one inning—before Tatis saw his career derailed by injuries.
After toiling in the minors for several seasons, Tatis came up to the Mets in May of 2008. We will reminisce about several memorable moments that the veteran supplied in that historic final season at Shea Stadium on his way to winning the 2008 National League Comeback Player of the Year award. In addition, we’ll touch on the prominent role former Met GM Omar Minaya played in Tatis’s career and life.

This week, the team plays a speed-related Promote, Extend, Trade.
After, the team discusses the hitter and pitcher of the week, Travis Taijeron and Daison Acosta.

Finally, the team reminisces about a player that had success around this time in years past in Oh Yeah, That Guy.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite, which this week is co-hosted by Chris McShane and Linda Surovich as we wrap up the week of mixing up the hosts on our podcasts for some midseason fun.
The show opens with discussion of the red-hot Mets’ four-game winning streak, which leaves them seven games under .500—and Mets fans maybe dreaming on something more, even though we fully realize it’s probably not going to happen. From there, we talk about the Zack Wheeler situation, the Mets’ hot hitters, and more before the break.
Coming out of the break, we run down the list of TRAID candidates, which includes Wheeler, Todd Frazier, Jason Vargas, and maybe Dominic Smith, Wilson Ramos, or Noah Syndergaard. And we wrap up by answering the questions we got for the show from folks on Twitter.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. We are back in your feeds after our brief hiatus last week.
It’s a shake-up week at Amazin’ Avenue Audio and we welcome Lukas Vlahos and Ken Lavin as guest hosts while lending Allison out to From Complex to Queens and Linda to Amazin’ Avenue The Show.
This week, Maggie, Ken, and Lukas bemoan the Mets’ botched communications around Amed Rosario’s benching, as well as the classic Mets melange of bad process and bad luck that has landed Zack Wheeler on the injured list at the worst possible moment.
Then, we take a broad look at the state of labor issues in the minor leagues. The current system leaves the youngest and most vulnerable professional players open to sub-minimum wage, poor working conditions, and potentially dangerous experimentation. What will it take to get MLB to invest in their human resources?
And finally, we wrap things up as usual with our walk-off wins - one thing that made each of us happy this week!

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.
This week, guest host Brian Salvatore traces the career of former Met Richard Hidalgo. Hildalgo came up with the Astros, had an amazing year in 2000, and a very good year in 2003 before coming over to the Mets in a trade in June of 2004. He hit 21 home runs in the summer of 2004, only to depart the team in the off-season.
Some of the things discussed in this episode: his connection to Bobby Abreau, his son signing with the Marlins, his abandoned ‘field of dreams,’ and the time the dude was shot during a carjacking, but played profession baseball just a few months later.

Next, we answer some of your emails in the seventh inning stretch!
Then, we chat about all things All-Star Game—the new voting process, whether the game should count, and much more.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
With the All-Star Break upon us, Rob Wolff travels back to take a look at the Mets tenure—and unlikely All-Star selection—of outfielder/super-utility player Joel Youngblood.
Youngblood arrived in New York on an infamous day in Mets’ history—June 15, 1977—in a smaller trade on the day the Midnight Massacre saw Tom Seaver depart Flushing. Pegged as a utility player, Youngblood became a solid contributor for the Mets—primarily as an outfielder—as he struggled to shed his image as a supersub.
Youngblood was the Mets’ lone All-Star representative in 1981 before making baseball history on August 4, 1982 thanks to the unique timing of his trade from the Mets to the Montreal Expos.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast from Amazin’ Avenue focusing on the Mets’ minor leagues.
This week, Steve and Lukas quickly break down the surprising signing of thirteenth round draft pick Blaine McIntosh.
After, the team discusses the hitter and pitcher of the week, Joe Genord and Kevin Smith.
Next, Steve and Lukas delve into what life is like for the average minor leaguer. From poor pay, substandard housing options, non-optimal nutrition, and a variety of other issues, the minor league life is far from glorious. What can be done to improve the conditions these young men have to deal with?
Finally, the team reminisces about players that had success around this time in years past in Oh Yeah, That Guy.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
As the Mets prepare to welcome the Yankees to Queens for the second installment of this year’s Subway Series, Rob Wolff travels back to take a look at left-handed reliever Dae Seung-Koo’s brief tenure with the franchise in 2005.
A veteran of many years in the Korean and Japanese leagues, the 35 year-old was brought to New York to serve as a LOOGY, and had never recorded an at-bat in his professional career. But his most memorable moment as a Met would come in the Subway Series in an unbelievable at-bat against future Hall of Famer Randy Johnson—and his daring baserunning thereafter.

This week, we try to wrap our minds around the cavalcade of Mets drama, from the Sunday’s locker room throwdown to leaks about Brodie’s backseat managing to bullpen meltdowns.
For more reading on this circus, check out former Mets beat writer Marc Carig’s takedown of team leadership and the Post’s brutal take on Callaway’s standing as manager.
Next, we look at a related topic: MLB discipline. Both umpires and the league have standards that seem variable and unpredictable and it’s a real problem.
Finally, we wrap things up as we always do with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
And a quick update to an earlier show: the brilliant and talented Dr. Meredith Wills has published a follow-up to her work last year on the difference in the baseballs resulting in the home run surge. It’s a must-read!

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
As the Mets prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Miracle Mets’ World Championship, this week, Rob Wolff travels back to take a look at Amos Otis’s brief tenure with the franchise. Considered an untouchable prospect prior to that season, Otis struggled to find a role or get in the good graces of manager Gil Hodges.
Fresh off of their miraculous championship run, Otis was deemed quite touchable as the Mets tried to plug their seemingly ever-present third base hole by sending the prospect. to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Joe Foy, in what would come to be regarded as one of the worst trades in franchise history.

This week, we begin by assessing the bullpen situation and the Mets’ recent rash of injuries, holding out hope that the team can perform on this decisive road trip.
Next, we share our experiences with online harassment, as well as share the stories of others, and have a discussion about just how pervasive and scary these things can be as a woman, trans person, or nonbinary person online. Thanks so much to everyone that reached out to us. We are deeply grateful for your help with this segment.
You can read about the fallout Sheryl Ring dealt with after reporting about the Cubs’ coverage of Addison Russell on All Heels on Deck.
You can watch the video of men reading mean Tweets to Julie DiCaro and Sarah Spain that were written about them here. It is a perfect illustration of how these things may be easy to say from behind a keyboard, but become very difficult to say to someone’s face.
Please check out Kieran Lovegrove’s pinned tweet where he encourages his female, trans, and nonbinary followers to post their experiences with harassment.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
This week, Rob Wolff travels back to 1983, when the Mets had a group of young starting pitching on the cusp of the major leagues. Rick Ownbey was considered the most major league-ready of these as he excelled in a AAA rotation with Ron Darling and Walt Terrell, while further down in the minors a recent first round pick named Dwight Gooden was just starting his journey.
Ownbey would make his debut before any of them, and while his major league career was less extensive or notable, he would soon be a piece in a trade that would bring in a Mets icon that would be the centerpiece of that 1980s squad—Keith Hernandez.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast from Amazin’ Avenue focusing on the Mets’ minor leagues.
This week, Steve Sypa is down in South Carolina scouting the Fireflies, so Ken Lavin and Lukas Vlahos are on their own to discuss the past week of Mets minor league baseball. We begin with a discussion of how the various affiliates fared last week, which quickly devolves into a discussion of the pettiest series in affiliated baseball.
After that, we discuss our hitter and pitcher of the week, Ronny Mauricio and Chris Mazza before running through some of the pitchers in the system who could potentially be in line to fill in for Noah Syndergaard while he’s on the 10-day injured list.
Next we preview the return of short-season baseball, and review some of the players we’re looking forward to seeing in Brooklyn.
We then move into a short discussion of where we’d like to see the Mets assign 2019 first round pick Brett Baty after he gets his feet wet in the complex, before wrapping up by looking back on the career of outfielder Eudy Pina in this week’s installment of Oh Yea, That Guy.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue in Conversation, a new podcast from Amazin’ Avenue where we invite interesting people on the show to talk about themselves, the Mets, and more.
This week, we welcome Ron Swoboda onto the show. Ron was a member of the 1969 Miracle Mets, and was responsible for a dramatic catch in game 4 of the World Series, which kept the game tied and allowed the Mets to come back and win in the 10th inning. That play provides the title for Ron’s new memoir, Here’s the Catch, which went on sale on June 11th.
Ron’s book is available now via Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or wherever else you get books.
Make sure to catch Ron at the 1969 anniversary weekend at the end of this month at Citi Field. You can also find him on Facebook and Instagram.

First up, we take the pulse of the Mets after a relatively successful week, including a split doubleheader with the Yankees.
We then get into the silliness of the team’s approach to the disabled list, and the relative success of the team’s starting pitching.
Finally, Brian tells a story of his time at Citi Field this weekend, and a particularly inebriated fan.

This week, we begin by discussing the Mets bouncing back with a solid week but the Mets couldn’t refrain from Metsing and mishandled Robinson Cano’s injury.
Next, we answer fan emails during our Seventh Inning Stretch segment.
We change gears after that and take a look at the underside of baseball when it comes to signing players from Latin America. The Dodgers were recently nominated for Humanitarian of the Year which concerned us considering they are one of the teams under investigation by the Department of Justice.
We wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise. (timestamp)

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
This week, Rob Wolff travels back to the late 1990’s, when Interleague play finally became a reality. On June 16, 1997, the Mets and the Yankees tangled in the first meaningful game between two New York baseball franchises in forty years. That game would thrust an unheralded mid-rotation starter named Dave Mlicki into the spotlight, where he would have the game of his life.

Mets’ minor leagues.
This week, Steve Sypa, Lukas Vlahos, and Ken Lavin discuss Josh Wolf and Matthew Allan- the Mets’ second and third selections in the 2019 MLB Draft- the unconventional strategy the Mets employed on day two, and selections that might fly under the radar, be they high schoolers, from the JuCO ranks, college juniors, or college seniors.
After, Steve sits down with Amazin’ Avenue staff writer emeritus and Major League Baseball Rule 4 draft enthusiast Alex Nelson, who shares his expert opinion on how the Mets did.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. With Brian off this week, Allison McCague pinch hits, while Chris tries to check off all of Brian's responsibilities on the show.
The show starts with the Mets' series win over the Giants, which felt like the team's first series win in a long time. And then we get into the most recent puzzling Mickey Callaway decisions. After the break, we delve into the ace-like performance of Jason Vargas, and there's a Johan Santana comp thrown in there that at least kind of makes sense.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we look at the Mets’ unfortunate west coast road trip, and the bullpen meltdowns that made it one to forget. We also welcome back Jeff McNeil and mull over upcoming roster decisions. And in the best update in a long time, we send the very best to Ron Darling in his much-anticipated return to the broadcast booth.
Next, we look at the state of women’s merchandise in sports, and how leagues are falling short on design and quality. Why doesn’t MLB want our money?
Then we dig into the mailbag and read some of your awesome emails in the Seventh Inning Stretch - keep ‘em coming!
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast from Amazin’ Avenue focusing on the Mets’ minor leagues.
This week, Steve Sypa, Lukas Vlahos, and Ken Lavin discuss Brett Baty, who the Mets took with the 12th overall pick in the amateur draft last night. Given the incredibly slow pace of the first two rounds of the draft, they were left to wonder what the Mets would do with their second pick, which was made well after this recording—but you'll hear plenty about that and the rest of the Mets' draft next week!

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
This week, Brian and Chris take a look at the Mets’ roster, and try to pinpoint just how they are staying afloat without nearly 1⁄4 of their Opening Day roster.
They then debate the merits of Carlos Gomez vs Juan Lagares, and discuss the return of Todd Frazier and Wilson Ramos’s offenses.

This week, we begin by discussing this past week of Mets games, which went much better than the week before and featured a lot of clutch performances from the Mets’ depth pieces. We also talk about injury updates, the Mets’ lack of pitching depth, and the recent bullpen implosion against the Dodgers.
Next, we have a conversation about stadium accessibility, which was inspired by the Mets’ new backpack policy. This discussion was made possible by all of the wonderful folks who reached out to Maggie about their experiences at Citi Field and other ballparks—thank you!

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
This week, Rob Wolff travels back to the 1995 MLB Draft. In a draft that would see future major league stars such as Roy Halladay, Todd Helton, and Kerry Wood go in the first round—not to mention future Met Carlos Beltran in the second—the Mets use their first round selection to tab a highly-touted young shortstop prospect with great tools named Ryan Jaroncyk.
Unfortunately, the Mets would never get the chance to find out if Jaroncyk could become a star in his own right, as the young man would quit the game of baseball a mere two years later at the age of 20 in Low A ball.
Learn more about the scouting process that made Jaroncyk seem like a can’t-miss prospect, and the reasons behind his abrupt abandonment of the game.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
This week, Rob Wolff travels back to the 1970s, as the Mets tried to get back to the promised land of the 1969 Miracle Mets. In 1973, they imported a light-hitting, smooth-fielding second baseman from the Atlanta Braves named Felix Millan.
Felix the Cat (“El Gatito”) was a key figure for the 1973 National League champions, providing solid defense and a steady, light-hitting (and well-choked-up on) bat. Although that glove would fail Millan on the biggest stage possible.
Millan would continue to be a stable, solid presence in the Mets infield until 1977, when an on-field incident would lead to the abrupt end of his major league career.

This week, Steve is out of town, so Ken Lavin and Lukas Vlahos discuss some Mets’ managers past in Promote, Extand, Trade.
After that, we run threw the hitter and pitcher of the week, Patrick Mazeika and Anthony Kay (who we just cannot stop talking about apparently).
Next, we each discuss our favorite guy in the draft, with some wishful thinking about who might actually make it to the Mets at 12. Ken and Lukas like Andrew Vaughn a whole whole lot.
Finally, we touch on one player from recent Mets’ minor league history, outfield Corey Vaughn.

This week, we look at a key upcoming stretch for the Mets, and the injuries that may make or break it for them. (0:44)
CONTENT WARNING: In the second segment of this week’s show, we speak about domestic violence. If this is content that is difficult for you to listen to or you would prefer not to hear it, skip ahead to the Seventh Inning Stretch segment.
Next, we follow up on last week’s discussion of MLB’s problem with domestic violence with a look at Addison Russell’s return from suspension and new allegations surrounding Julio Urias.
If you or someone you know is in a dangerous situation or a victim of intimate partner violence, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline. There are also many state and national organizations that provide resources to victims and survivors, including the Pace Women’s Justice Center in New York.
We then move onto more uplifting territory in a return to one of our favorite segments - the seventh inning stretch, where we read and respond to some of the messages sent in by our listeners.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
This week, Rob Wolff travels back to the mid 1990s, as the Mets tried to build on Generation K by bringing in a couple of veteran outfielders, including Bernard Gilkey—would would go on to have one of the great single seasons in Mets history—which led to one of the great movie cameos in Mets history.
Post-Men in Black, Gilkey hung with the Mets for a couple of more seasons, until the acquisition of one Mike Piazza indirectly led to his departure from Queens. Gilkey would soon face off against the Mets in the playoffs before his career petered out.

This week, we discuss the sad state of the Mets, including the Adeiny Hechavarria/Dominic Smith roster move, the pitching injuries, and the beleaguered offense.
CONTENT WARNING: In the second segment of this week’s show, we speak about domestic violence. If this is content that is difficult for you to listen to or you would prefer not to hear it, skip ahead to the Walk-off Wins segment.
Next, we speak about Major League Baseball’s domestic violence problem and our feelings about that as female baseball fans. Specifically, we cover the way domestic violence has been framed as a redemption narrative when it comes to players like Addison Russell, Roberto Osuna, Jose Reyes, and others, when it is the stories of victims that should be front and center.
We then cleanse our emotion-laden hearts with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
Finally, we read our favorite submission to our iTunes review giveaway and announce that the winner of the Jacob deGrom Cy Young bobblehead will be alerted Wednesday morning as the show goes live.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
This week, Rob Wolff travels back to the late 1970s, an era of big hair (but fortunately no plastic grass—at least at Shea). We’ll take a look at the brief but joyful Met tenure of the young, afro-sporting Nino Espinosa.
Hear about Espinosa’s impressive debut, looking like a solid young starter in 1977—including one memorable game in which he almost matched the recent dominance of Noah Syndergaard, driving in the only run of a 1-0 victory—over that year’s soon to be minted Cy Young award winner, Steve Carlton.
You’ll also hear about his quick flame out, getting traded to the Phillies, where he was a member of the 1980 team that won the World Series, though he did not get to play in the postseason. Thereafter, his career ended abruptly; sadly, his life would tragically do the same not much later.

This week, we welcome Kellyanne Healey, Amazin’ Avenue moderator, and we begin by discussing how the Mets bungled the backup catcher situation and how the baseball might be affecting the pitchers.
Next, Kellyanne talks about the book Infinite Baseball by Alva Noe and how philosophy can be applied to the game. You can look for her review and other fabulous books on her Goodreads account.
We follow that up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
Finally, we reminded everyone of the bobblehead giveaway for our awesome listeners. We have a Jacob deGrom Cy Young bobblehead for one lucky listener who leaves us a review on iTunes. Tune in at (timestamp) and keep an eye on @apodoftheirown for further details on how to enter.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
This week, Rob Wolff travels back to the 1973-74 seasons to take a look at the brief but memorable Mets tenure of a gawky, gangly long shot 31st round draft pick that the Shea faithful fondly embraced as ‘The Stork.’
A true 70s character, the meditation-loving outfielder played with passion and abandon—which may in part have led to the devastating outfield collision that sidetracked his career. We’ll talk about a player who fought back to appear in the 1973 World Series and play again in 1974, but was never the same on the field—yet went on to an admirable post-baseball career, and still remains a beloved figure in the rich Mets tapestry.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
First up this week, we lament the fact that Mets didn't roll the dice on Gio Gonzalez and why, oh why, Jason Vargas is still expected to be this team's fifth starter.
After the break, we discuss the return of Todd Frazier, defensive woes for Amed Rosario and Wilson Ramos, and try to remind ourselves that the Mets are still in first place.
Chris’s music pick for the week:
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Fishing for Fishies
Brian’s music pick:The Beach Boys - Wake the World: The Friends Sessions

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin the show with a discussion of how bizarrely the Mets have handled their injured ace - the more things change, the more they stay the same. And on that note, the Mets also seem uninterested in the fact that Gio Gonzalez is there for the taking.
Next, we tackle the issue of MLB and Rob Manfred’s fan-unfriendly approach to media: mysterious blackout zones, severe limitations on the sharing of MiLB videos, and an increasingly-backwards approach to their own collection of highlights.
This week, we have an exciting giveaway as a thank you to our awesome listeners - your very own Jacob deGrom Cy Young bobblehead (MRI machine not included)! Tune in at (timestamp) or keep an eye on @apodoftheirown for details on how to enter.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
This week, Rob Wolff travels back to the 2001 season to take a look at the inexplicably productive season that a utility player claimed off of waivers the previous season had with the Mets. Hear about Desi Relaford’s impressive season with the Mets, his memorable mop-up pitching appearance that year, and his thoughts on the Phillies and their fans that just might make some Mets fans feel even more kinship with the former Met.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
First up this week, we discuss the current Mets' product, specifically how one team can be both so good and so bad at the same time.
Then, we identify our breakout offensive stars of the young season.
After a break, we discuss Jason Vargas and the (perhaps?) extinct 'crafty veteran.'
Finally, we wonder why the 'three outs' Edwin Diaz situation was only just now admitted.
Chris’s music pick for the week:
The Claypool Lennon Delirium - South of Reality
Brian's music pick:
Bodega - Infinite Scroll

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.
This week, we begin the show with a discussion of the Mets’ pitching woes, offset by how great their offense—specifically Pete Alonso—has been. We also talk about the roster crunch with the return of Todd Frazier imminent.
Next, we have an interview with Dr. Meredith Wills—astrophysicist, baseball Hall of Famer, data scientist, knitting designer, and baseball connoisseur. We talk about her work published last summer that revealed what was different about post-2015 baseballs versus pre-2015 baseballs, what she thinks about the current spike in home runs across the game, what it’s like to be a woman in science and baseball, and her latest craft projects.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
This week, Rob Wolff travels back in time to the franchise’s inaugural season of 1962 to take a look at a pitcher with a very unique nickname who spent the tail end of a solid major league career with Casey’s fabled ‘62 squad. Learn about the historic World Series he participated in, his thoughts on his final days with the Mets, and his at least equally notable post-baseball career.

Next, we talk about a controversial sign that was displayed in the Wrigley Field press box that was an incredibly tone deaf move by the organization.
We introduced a new segment this week where we answered some emails, one of which suggested a lyric change in “Meet the Mets”.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past
This week, Rob Wolff travels back in time to the late 80s to look at the hyped prospect background and brief Met career of David West. Relive his Met debut in a rare era of unbridled Met fan optimism until the formerly “untouchable” prospect was deemed very touchable as the 1989 team tried to replace an injured Dwight Gooden for a playoff push, landing West in Minnesota, where he would eventually earn himself the World Series ring we wish he got in 1988.
