Mets'd Up

Bad series. You know it, we know, everyone knows it. We talk about a few key events like David Peterson's start, Eduardo Escobar finding a little groove, and that's basically it. Then we kinda jump around. Talk about the season as a whole, team perceptions, good and bad stuff, things to watch over the final month plus James' experience at Ohio State Notre Dame in Columbus. Some college football talk, a compelling Esti-Met. Bad series but good episode To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Big series from the Mets this week. The Dodgers came to town and we handled them. The games were tough and close, but we found a way to win another series. Francisco Lindor stepped up, Starling Marte hit 2 HR, Jacob deGrom was dominant, Adam Ottavino stayed spectacular, Brandon Nimmo made the catch of the year. and Edwin Díaz was sensational fueled by Timmy Trumpet playing LIVE IN QUEENS! Citi was so unbelievable this entire series but especially on Wednesday. Oh yeah and we also interviewed Max Scherzer Wednesday, ever heard of him?? We tease that interview PLUS introduce a new mascot/superstition for the boys that might become a thing...

This was a special, special weekend in Mets land. The team celebrated their first Old Timers Day since 1994 and the scene was spectacular. Mets from 1962 to 2015 came together for an unbelievable event and we take you through the whole thing from brunch to the red carpet to batting practice and through the game itself. We have some tid bits about Mike Piazza, Billy Wagner, José Reyes, Terry Collins and much much more. Such a genuinely incredible experience that culminated with the (surprise) retiring of Willie Mays' number! It was easy to forget that there were four actual baseball games that took place this weekend at Citi Field and of course we got deep into those as well. Mark Canha, Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, Max Scherzer, David Peterson, Jacob deGrom, and Seth Lugo all starred and we tell you how. We close with a preview of the BIG Dodgers series this week, get pumped.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

We're tired and the Mets are tired. 27 games in 26 days is no easy task and that run ended with a tough loss in Yankee stadium on Tuesday night. This series wasn't the most fun so we didn't really talk about the game much. Instead, listen to some Yankee hate, stories from a fun night in the Bronx, unique jerseys in the crowd, and of course big picture analysis. Jon checks in next and goes over some new rules for 'Esti-Met' since Marc is utterly hopeless otherwise. We close out with our Rockies preview and a little primer for the Mets first ever Old Timers Day!

Wow, the poor Phillies. Our season series with Philadelphia came to a merciful conclusion on Sunday with another dramatic come from behind victory for the Mets fueled by Mark Canha and Nate Fisher??? The game and this series but a cherry on top of the Mets DOMINANT 14-5 season series against the Phillies that we're certain every Mets fan has cherished. Big performances from Jeff McNeil, Chris Bassitt, Francisco Lindor, Trevor Williams, Starling Marte, Brandon Nimmo and others helped spurn this series win. Now, time to get at those Yankees.

Tough Series, really really tough series. The Mets got behind the eight-ball early with Carlos Carrasco and Taijuan Walker leaving their starts with injuries but fought hard to nearly split the series. But, they didn't and we break it all down from Max Scherzer to RJ Alvarez and back to Jacob deGrom. The big news this week was Brett Baty making his MLB debut and we gush over his outstanding performance down in Atlanta. Otherwise, we try to talk everyone down and let you guys know everything is fine. We're on to Philadelphia To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The boys sat down with Wayne Randazzo for a fantastic interview. Wayne went into his start in broadcasting, working with a legend like Howie Rose, filling in for Gary Cohen on SNY, his Chicago roots and so much more. Get excited, this is awesome.

Another great weekend at Citi Field. Mets pitchers held the Phillies to just two runs (one earned) during the entire weekend. Max Scherzer was fantastic, Jacob deGrom was sensational, and Chris Bassitt was great en route to taking another series from Philadelphia. Francisco Lindor set the Mets record for RBI by a SS too which was a great moment. Edwin Díaz's trumpets were electric, what else is new. Otherwise, this was a pretty straightforward series and this episode reflects that with no random moments about Chase Utley, Bob Grich, or other old second basemen that aren't in the Hall of Fame. We are on to Atlanta (also, please note: Keith Hernandez is at the top of the guys' list of players who aren’t in the HOF but should be).

Bonus episode! Marc and James sit down with Darren Ferguson, better known as UKMets on Twitter, during his first trip to New York and Citi Field (he came to the United States for the first time, just to see the Mets)! Darren talks about how he fell in love with the Mets, what baseball fandom in the UK is like and his newfound love for Pastrami. Absolute scenes.

Easy series. The Mets continued their winning ways with a sweet of the Cincinnati Reds this week at Citi Field. Chris Bassitt, Carlos Carrasco all gave length. Francisco Lindor mashed. Tyler Naquin, Daniel Vogelbach, and Darin Ruf stayed hot. This series was so easy that the Mets didn't trail for a single moment. None! After wrapping that up we talk to friend of the show Matt Eddy, executive editor of Baseball America, about the Mets farm system. He takes us through their top 30, new draft picks, Francisco Álvarez, Brett Baty, and a few sleepers. Always a great time with Matt. We close with a preview of a very important Phillies series this weekend. Hope we see everyone at the ballpark for these games!
