Mets'd Up

Things were fun for a few minutes this week until they weren't The Giants swept the Mets to mercifully end our NL West jaunt and we break down every game from Tuesday's ass-whopping, to Wednesday and Thursday's pain. Luis Rojas made what some might call an interesting decision during Wednesday's game and we tell you exactly what we think about it. Also, this week marked the return of our Prospect Report where James tells you about a few sleeper pitchers in the Mets' system. Lastly, our Nationals preview. Please win some games, for the love of GOD --- 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.

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

These west coast games are downright BRUTAL. We take you through all three and get deep into the nitty-gritty because, well, a lot of really interesting things happened. James describes what makes the Giants so good and how they are better to strategize better than any other team in baseball while Marc takes shots at Gabe Kapler. We heap praise on Marcus Stroman and Tylor Megill because those two studs deserve our gratitude. Bad Take of the Week comes back because we have a lot to say about Tim Healey. What a nerd loser. We also talk about what Steve Cohen tweeted on Thursday because that was a huge deal. After the Giants recap, we have our interview with Ronny Mauricio. It was amazing to talk to such a talented prospect and he shares some insight into life in Brooklyn, his game, and what position he sees himself playing in the future. Lastly, we have our Dodgers preview and James tells everyone where to get the best sandwich in Brooklyn. This is a PACKED episode! --- 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.

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

What a crazy series against the Nationals. There was SO MUCH to talk about between the rain, Rich Hill running, Brandon Nimmo hitting ropes, more rain, Edwin Diaz's heroics, more rain, Marcus Stroman's strong start, and Pete Alonso's HUGE home run. We break it down from beginning to end. Later, we bring on our first guest ever, Jaylen Palmer from the Cyclones! We talked to Jaylen in Brooklyn last week and he shared a little bit about himself, his game, and what it's like to be a minor leaguer. Afterward, we dive into our weekly Prospect Report and talk about the Mets' most exciting prospects. We close the show with a preview of the Dodgers Series and our honest expectations for the rest of the season. James also killed ANOTHER mosquito mid recording. --- 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.

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

Oh buddy, things are bad. We are having a bad time. This series in Miami went just about as bad as it could possibly have the Mets season is on the brink of falling apart. We break down every single game and try to find the few positives we can. James breaks down Tylor Megill's start and explains how he's continuing to evolve as a professional while singing Carlos Carrasco's praises. Marc complains about pitchers hitting, Michael Conforto, and yells about poop as we get into our Phillies Preview. Jokes were had, but everyone is very VERY scared about this weekend. Also, we teased a big surprise last episode and revealed the secret here (and all day Thursday on social media) so check it out! --- 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...we'll call this a 'Wilpon Week' because the vibes are down on the episode. We start out with a Trade Deadline recap. Javy Baez and Trevor Williams are Mets while Pete Crow-Armstrong is headed to Chicago. There were tons of strange and unexpected things that happened on deadline day and we break it all down for you. Then, the games. The guys were in attendance Friday and Sunday and might have just whole jinxed the team (really James is the jinx but you'll hear more about that). This series was so bad it broke our brains and you will listen to us try and figure out who the Mets played last weekend. No, really. After we rant about Anthony Banda, Geoff Hartleib, Michael Conforto, and Luis Rojas, we break down the Kumar Rocker situation. What went wrong here, and why WE think the Mets may have made the right call. The episode ends with our Marlins Preview and a teaser for potentially the FIRST EVER METS'D UP GUEST NEXT WEEK.

The Mets had the most uneventful five game series off all-time with the Braves the week. We break down every game while simultaneously jumping back to the Trade Deadline. Kyle Muller and Austin Riley are officially Rat F*cks, Tylor Megill stayed hot, and Jeff McNeil has finally turned a corner. That's all great, but we cannot think about anything but WHO the Mets are going to get before Friday's deadline. We spend some talking about Kumar Rocker's contract dispute and whether we think a deal will actually get done with the 10th overall pick and just how we have gotten to this point. The episode closes with a preview of the Reds series and we are BEYOND excited for Carlos Carrasco and the black jerseys to return on Friday night! --- 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.

The Mets continue to prove why they are the most resilient team in baseball with a gutsy series victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Pete Alonso is the hottest hitter alive and welcoming Steven Matz back to Queens the only way he knew how to. We chop it about Matz and the newest Met, Rich Hill aka 'Dick Mountain' before breaking down EVERY game during this series. Marc was at Citi Field on Friday and Saturday and has some fun tidbits to share about his weekend. Then, we have a FULL Trade Deadline preview and breakdown for the listeners. James and Marc have a draft of their top five targets for the Mets and a few of their choices will surprise you. The show ends with a preview of the upcoming Braves series and a few social media shoutouts.
