Mets'd Up

Wheeewwwww, the Mets just wrapped up an absolutely insane series against the Reds. Monday night was one of the craziest baseball games either of us have ever seen and we broke the whole damn thing down. James, being a man formerly of Ohio, has a hilarious anecdote about Skyline Chili that you won't want to miss. We get into the rest of the series afterward, giving Marcus Stroman his due credit for stepping up on Wednesday and Luis Guillorme props for responding after a brutal game Monday. You will accidentally meet James' loud roommates later on, sorry about that, while we do our weekly prospect report and talk about some guys who could be on the move this week with the trade deadline rapidly approaching. We close the show with our Blue Jays preview and Marc shares some not-so-kind words about Steven Matz before James confuses himself tremendously while sharing his Blue Jay to Watch. --- 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 played some of their worst baseball of the 2021 season which resulted in losing a series to the Pittsburgh Pirates who are one of the worst teams in MLB. On top of horrible play, the Mets lose Francisco Lindor and Jacob deGrom to the IL. Marcus Stroman tries to fight the the Pittsburgh Pirates John Negowski & Seth Lugo and Edwin Diaz blow a 6-0 lead.

Ooooweeeeee did the Mets impress this week.

The New York Mets walked into the Bronx for the Subway Series and absolutely curb stomped the struggling New York Yankees.

Pete Alonso and Dom Smith are getting hot and this Mets offense is starting to click on all cylinders as they get healthy.

Oh boy, rough couple of days for the guys. The Braves humbled us and Marc and James have a lot to say about it. Marc tries to figure out why we can't hit (again) before James dispels the myth about us not being able to hit curveballs. Remember that game in Washington on Monday? We talked about that too. We end the show talking about potential roster moves, close the book on Dellin Betances, preview the Yankees series (gulp), and our weekly Prospect Report! --- 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.

Little Mets'd Up Matinee while Marc is on the road! The Mets played a....weird series against the Phillies this weekend and we break down all four games. Marc thinks Taijuan Walker should be an All-Star and James explains how David Peterson has taken a step in the right direction. Next, we learned that Jacob deGrom is in fact a human being after all and that the Mets can win a close game without getting a true hit. Hits remain on the mind and we do everything we can to figure out just why this team can't break through offensively. The show closes with a preview for the week ahead and a general overview of where this team is at! --- 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 much has happened in just a few days. Guys went on the IL, guys came off the IL, guys didn't get hits, guys got hits, we break it all down right here.

We briefly touch on the sticky substance debacle going on as we dive into our Phillies (4th place team) preview.

Sobering weekend for the Mets. We break down a tough weekend for the squad and play a little good cop-bad cop. Double-header week rages on with an upcoming series against the Braves that we HAVE to show up for. To our dismay, Jerad Eickhoff will be a part of it. Jokes are had, Marc claims he's going to run a whole mile, and then we get deep into some potential Mets trade targets. James talks about a few relievers no one has ever heard of, it's a real hoot. --- 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.
