Mets'd Up

Ah, bittersweet, bittersweet. This was weirdly an eventful week for the Mets because...well...they all are. We started out talking about Thursday's game here because we were in attendance and it was fresh on our minds. We had a great day and met so many of our amazing listeners which was an incredible experience! On top of that, the Mets smacked the Marlins around and Michael Conforto got emotional in what might have been his last home game as a Met. Afterwards, we broke down the first three games of this series. James gave some unbelievable double-header facts as the Mets played their final twin-bill of the season. Noah Syndergaard pitched the 2nd game and his return gives us a lot to think about. Lastly, we close with the Mets' disappointing loss on Wednesday where Seth Lugo blew the lead and James broke down why Lugo has not looked quite right all year. Packed episode, almost to the finish line! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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

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

Bad series. Really bad series. One of the WORST series the Mets played all season. We break down every game and wallow in our sadness for the season probably finally being over. James breaks down Adam Wainwright and shares a hidden reason about how and why he is still able to pitch at such a high level. Marc let's Albert Almora have it and both of our patience with Luis Rojas is beginning to wear thin. One silver-lining, Marcus Stroman is a marvel and James describes how he has been so dominant and whether it can last through 2022 and beyond. More jokes this episode because we're sad. We're all just dust in the wind anyway. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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

Well, that’s all folks. The Mets lost two of three to the Marlins and the season sure feels over. Marc definitely thinks so and tells you why right off the rip. We explain why the Mets are not on the same level as the best teams in baseball, how they can possibly get there, and who would maybe be around if they DO end up there. We yell, scream, rant, it’s a lot of fun so listen in. After the chaos, we FINALLY have the Francisco Alvarez interview ready to drop and you won’t want to miss it --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Weird episode. Weird series. Five games are way too many to play against the same team and it showed with some sloppy baseball over the holiday weekend. The Mets lost two winnable games and we can't let that go. Also, James talks about a potentially important adjustment by Tylor Megill and Marc breaks down what is wrong with Jeff McNeil. Most importantly, Andrew Stevenson can legit kick rocks. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/metsdup/support To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Wow, a positive episde! We have not had one of those in a WHILE. Marc was at Citi Field for the best game of the year on Tuesday and will tell you all about his day and the Mets comeback. What a freakin' win that was and it set the Mets up for a SWEEEEEEEP. In between all these fun breakdowns, we have to talk about Zack Scott's DUI. It is clear the Mets current front office regime is not the right mix of executives and we tell you who can be better. The show closes with a prospect report where James talks about 3 sleepers in the Mets system including a 17-year-old!

Wow. That's all I got. We talked about the games some. Then the Javy stuff. THEN we finished and came back because Sandy Alderson dropped a statement from the clouds.
