Mets'd Up

Bad, bad, bad. This was the worst series the Mets played all year. Couldn't really hit, couldn't really pitch, couldn't really play defense. Just bad stuff all-around. We talk about the games (briefly) but spend most of this episode zooming out. Where are the Mets, where could they go, what's going on, things like that. Lots of narrative stuff that we know you guys are dying to hear. Few strategies on changing luck, superstition strategies, rituals, seances, the Rally Bun dies and then lives again. We need to accept this bad energy, expell it, and accept some good stuff back. It's not good but it could be good again later. This one is not fun and very fun all at the same time.

Good series! Everyone got scared after a hard-luck loss on Friday night before we took the last two games in Miami with very little resistance. Carlos Carrasco and Taijuan Walker were masterful and gave us the length we needed. The lineup stepped up too! Francisco Lindor is feeling himself, Mark Canha hit his first grand slam, Jeff McNeil keeps hitting, Brandon Nimo showed off his power, and the bottom of the order stayed hot led by Eduardo Esco-Bombs and James McCann. Jon jumped in for the Esti-Met after where Marc has come all the way back to one game behind James. Afterwards, we zoom out a bit and discuss the MLB rule changes and how we think the pitch clock, removal of the shift, larger bases, and pick-ff rules will affect the game. We also mix in some Braves hate talk, obviously. Let's get the Cubs!

Such a casual series, right? The Mets scared everyone Tuesday night but rallied to a huge double-header sweep against the Pirates this week. Chris Bassitt was great, Jacob deGrom was otherworldly, Eduardo Escobar was feeling himself, Tyler Naquin was rocking, and the whole lineup wound contributing in a great day of Mets baseball. Of course, we touched on the Max Scherzer injury too and gave an update on our interview. Otherwise, we talked about Oneil Cruz, the Marlins, and fantasy football??

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.

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.

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).

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!

From Carlos Carrasco to Tyler Naquin to Francisco Lindor to Daniel Vogelbach to Edwin Díaz to Max Scherzer there is a lot to go over.

Great weekend of Mets ball. Marc and James take you from Brandon Nimmo "cursing", to Carlos Carrasco dealing, to the offense going crazy on Sunday. We get a little off topic talking about Marc's weekend at the National Sports Collectors Convention and James' exciting Thursday night that had him too excited about the Tyler Naquin trade. Then we discuss trade rumors and give our takes on Juan Soto, JD Martinez, and Willson Contreras. The show ends with some very normal and relaxed conversation about Jacob deGrom's return after 13 long months. Get pumped!

The Mets swept the Yankees in their two-game series this week and only trailed for what felt like 5 minutes. Eduardo Escobar, Taijuan Walker, Adam Ottavino, and Edwin Diaz took control of game one in front of a LIVELY Citi Field. The stadium was seriously buzzing. Game 2 came with more drama that started with a Pete Alonso bomb, settled in with a Max Scherzer (birthday) gem, and ended with a Starling Marte walk-off hit. Unbelievable. The boys held nothing back and took just a few shots at the Yankees in our most fun episode to date. Let's GO!

Tough series against the Padres. Scherzer and Bassitt were awesome but the offense struggled (until Sunday night). The boys broke it all down as usual with stats and stories from the whole series. Then, FINALLY the trade deadline talk everyone has been waiting for. Marc and James break down all the relievers and bats the Mets might be looking at ahead of the deadline from JD Martinez to Joe Mantiply and everyone in between.

Bittersweet series again this weekend in Chicago. The Mets crushed the Cubs on Thursday and then scratched and clawed their way through the weekend to win another series. Max Scherzer had an unreal moment with Ian Happ, Eduardo Escobar made some clutch plays, Taijuan Walker stayed hot, and David Peterson continues to grow before our eyes. Of course, the other big news from the weekend was Juan Soto being placed on the trade block. The guys shared a few jokes before taking a genuine look at where the Mets stand in their pursuit of Soto and what a trade package would have to look like. Lastly, Marc and James break down the draft picks of Kevin Parada, Jett Williams, and Blade Tidwell from the MLB Draft. Packed episode to send you into the All-Star Break!

This was a big one. You knew it, we knew it, and the Mets delivered. Max Scherzer set the tone game one with a dominant performance along with Luis Guillorme. Spencer Strider and the Braves bullpen got us back game two despite another stellar outing by David Peterson. Chris Bassitt and Fransisco Lindor held it down in game three to give the Mets a very impressive series win over their bitter rivals. We also sprinkle in some trade chatter, MLB Draft buzz, little breakfast talk, and close with a preview of the Cubs Series.

Interesting series with the Marlins this weekend. The offense got hot and then immediately cold again. JD Davis and the bottom of the order had a big Thursday but newly minted Mets-Killer Bryan De La Cruz had our number on Friday. The boys were both in attendance for Keith Hernandez Day on Saturday and it was incredible weather, ceremony, and eventual dramatic Mets victory. Sunday kinda stunk, whatever, but there's a big Braves series ahead and we spent plenty of time previewing that as well as talking about Marc's college habits, Stranger Things, and other general nonsense.

The Mets take care of business in Cincinnati where they earn another series win. Taijuan Walker received plenty of run support in the game one win as he continues to roll. The Mets dropped a heartbreaker in game two, but Max Scherzer returned from the injured list on Tuesday and dominated with 11 walks and no strikeouts in six scoreless innings. Then we had a CRAZY comeback win on Wednesday (the boys were buzzing). Otherwise, we had some 4th of July and Joey Chestnut talk after another dominant Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest and a preview of the Marlins series.

The Mets got back on track with a big series win over the Rangers. Eduardo Escobar powered the offense with a homer in all three games of the series while David Peterson and Carlos Carrasco gave awesome efforts in their starts. Marc and James break down each game with tons of cool stats and stories from the weekend. Then, there's some talk about Jacob deGrom's first rehab start (34:10), Max Scherzer's return (36:33), and Francisco Álvarez's promotion to Triple-A (37:54).

Rough series everyone. Carlos Carrasco had another rough start against the Astros…Yordan Álvarez is a menace. Then Justin Verlander barely outlasted Taijuan Walker in one of the best pitching duels of the season. Edwin Díaz was electric again but Drew Smith gave up the big one. Upsetting, but it happens. Then, we move into our Prospect Report and focus on Francisco Álvarez, Ronny Mauricio, and Brett Baty. We end with a very thorough preview of the rarely seen Texas Rangers and break down their oddly interesting roster.

Bittersweet is the word here. The Mets slayed Sandy Alcantara on Friday night behind Francisco Lindor's heroics and Buck Showalter’s incredibly thorough knowledge of the rule book. Then Pete Alonso and Chris Bassitt carried us to a win on Saturday, but the possible sweep faded away on Sunday despite David Peterson continuing his hot streak and Brandon Nimmo continuing to play incredible baseball. Good series, but bittersweet. Oh, and Luis Guillorme is a freak and Edwin Díaz threw a baseball 103 (102.6) mph. Let's get the Astros.

This was a rough series for our Mets. First time all year being swept (but two games so not really). Yordan Álvarez and José Altuve made it tough on Trevor Williams. Then Kyle Tucker got to Chasen Shreve, that happens. Wednesday was rough too with Carlos Carrasco allowing 4 runs before recording an out, oof. The Mets did battle in this one and showed the type of grit that has made them so good all year. We tried to pull as many positives out of this as possible. Afterward, we break down Max Scherzer's rehab start with Binghamton and his comments that spurned a fun minor league team names draft. Then we jump into our listener mailbag and started talking about some trade candidates. The episode closes with a preview of the upcoming Marlins series and another date with Sandy Alcantara.

Bonus Episode! The boys talked to David Cone and Todd Zeile a few weeks back. Zeile gave us a great interview talking about what it meant to be a Met during 9/11, his emotions during Mike Piazza’s heroics, playing for Joe Torre, and life after baseball including a bonus Charlie Sheen story. We only had a few minutes with Coney but asked him what it meant to be a Met, how it was joining the team in 1987, and what goes through a pitchers head during a no-hitter or perfect game 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 won ANOTHER series and handled the Marlins over this 4 game set. Friday night was an offensive explosion with Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso hitting loud HR while Carlos Carrasco continued his fantastic season. Lindor hit another HR on Saturday with his mom in attendance and Taijuan Walker was masterful on the mound. James tells you why this new version of Walker may be the best one we’ve ever seen. Sunday was rough against Sandy Alcantara who’s one of the best pitchers in baseball but David Peterson and the offense brought it back around to lock up the series victory on Monday.

We did it again! 2 out of 3 with a classic poop-fest. Bassitt shoved, MV-Pete is alive and well, David Peterson seemingly struggled but James gives some reasons for optimism regarding his development, say a prayer for our guy Tylor Megill, a hectic comeback win, good series let's keep it rolling.

The Mets finished off their long West Coast swing with another series victory. They held the Angels in check and are heading back home on the right foot. Tylor Megill returned on Friday and James was encouraged by his performance. Brandon Nimmo got on track, Pete Alonso and Starling returned from their injuries to get a few big hits, Jeff McNeil and Luis Guillorme showed off their wide array of defensive skills, and Taijuan Walker hurled a gem on Sunday Night Baseball. However, Edwin Díaz's 8th inning punch-out of Mike Trout was the premier moment from that game. After the breakdowns, Marc has a bunch of fun '100th Episode' stats and trivia to celebrate our milestone. The show ends with a fun listener mailbag and preview of the Brewers series.

Tough one this week. The Mets lost their series of the year at the hands of the Padres and it could have been a whole lot worse. Pete Alonso and Starling Marte each left Tuesday's game, but each appear to hopefully be ok. Keep those fingers crossed. Otherwise, Eduardo Escobar hit for the first Mets cycle in more than a decade (shout-out Scott Hairston) on Monday and Carlos Carrasco twirled another gem. That's about it though lol. With a not-so-great-series, we have our deepest prospect report in a while and discuss Mets prospects from Francisco Álvarez to José Butto to Wyatt Young to Javier Atencio.

Wow. What a series in LA against the Dodgers. First the Mets were down, and then they came all the way back for a series split that had playoff vibes. Francisco Lindor got his finger caught in a door and then came back to have some nice games. Pete Alonso looked like the MVP front-runner. Starling Marte stayed hot, Jeff McNeil threw his helmet, Max Scherzer was bit by his dog, Jacob deGrom threw a bullpen, Edwin Diaz pitched the 8th inning, David Peterson got yanked mid-batter, David Roberts didn't know all the rules, Colin Cowherd had a bad tweet. This was a crazy weekend in Mets Land and we cover it all right here.

Great series. The bats came out hot with huge performances from Luis Guillorme, Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil, Mark Canha, Tomás Nido, and of course Starling Marte who is blazing hot. David Peterson didn't look great and James dives in to why he struggled. Wednesday was hilarious too with Carlos Carrasco's dad in the building and Gary, Keith, and Ron having a grand ol' time. This week also marked the 10 year anniversary of Johan Santana's no-hitter, Marc and James each talk a little about what that meant to themselves and the Mets overall. We have a listener mailbag where we discuss the Mets upcoming roadtrip, Dallas Keuchel, Nick Plummer, and ballpark food before closing out with the Dodgers series preview.

The New York Mets just completed their first sweep of the season against the Philadelphia Phillies which pushes their NL East Division lead to 10.5 games over Philly! Pete Alonso continues to own the city of Philadelphia and make a case for MVP talks. Francisco Lindor is really good so of course he had another great series. Jeff McNeil soared like an eagle around the bases after hitting a big HR in game 2 and we even saw Nick Plummer hit a game tying HR in the bottom of the 9th for his first MLB hit. Mets pitching continues to shine with great performances from Chris Bassitt, Carlos Carrasco & Taijuan Walker. Mets are good, really good and continue to dominate the NL East division! --- 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 had an action-packed series in San Francisco. David Peterson looked really good again which is awesome and we had one of the craziest games in recent baseball memory on Tuesday with our massive comeback and Joc Pederson's heroics. Otherwise, Pete Alonso hit another dinger, Starling Marte stayed hot, Eduardo Escobar may have gotten hot, and wow shocker Francisco Lindor is really good. The pitching depth is not looking great though and that's even scarier with Drew Smith and Edwin Díaz struggling during game 2. Shoutout Stephen Nogosek though, legend.

The snow subsided in time for the Mets to get all three games in against the Rockies and win another series. Starling Marte hit a HR in his first game back in an emotionally charged moment. Carlos Carrasco had another very good starts and James points to an interesting adjustment he made. Luis Guillorme was all over the diamond this weekend, Francisco Lindor too. Good team baseball. Afterwards, we do a listener mailbag where we discussed Chris Bassitt, replacements for Max Scherzer, trade options for DH, a potential Met contender for the batting title, and another Bartolo Colon rumor Game 1 (3:58) Game 2 (12:23) Game 3 (17:41) Mailbag (35:30) Giants Preview (57:50) --- 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, what an eventful week for the Mets. The games went great! We handled the Cardinals with relative ease and took 3 out of 4. Pete Alonso mashed some big home runs, Jeff McNeil stayed hit, Luis Guillorme and Mark Canha were getting on base, Chris Bassitt looked good, we got lots of help from guys like Trevor Williams, Jake Reed, and Adonis Medina, this was an all-hands on deck series and it showed. Francisco Lindor had a good series too, despite what some fans want to believe. However, the big news from this week is Max Scherzer being out 6-8 weeks with an oblique strain. We gave some possible replacement options though and try to stay positive during this sad time. Bad news, good series, great episode.

The Mets lost their first series of the year which is sad but Max Scherzer pitched well and Francisco Lindor started to heat up. Drew Smith and Chasen Shreve also looked mortal for the first time all season which is sad but Edwin Diaz reminded everyone how good he is. The Mariners are a pesky bunch though with Jesse Winker and Paul Sewald having fun with Mets fans even though some people (Marc) think Sewald took things too far. Carlos Carrasco also got touched up which is scary with the news of Tylor Megill heading to the IL. Thankfully Chris Bassitt is still rocking and rolling.

Slow series, slow episode.

The New York Mets just wrapped up a series victory in Philadelphia against the Phillies which saw the Mets complete the greatest comeback in their teams history after being down 6 runs in the top of the 9th inning. Pete Alonso has a 2 Home Run game which propelled the Mets to a series win, Francisco Lindor is finally breaking out of his slump along with Starling Marte & Brandon Nimmo being hit machines to start the month of May. Chris Bassitt and Max Scherzer pitch well enough to help the Mets continue to grow their lead over the division rival Philadelphia Phillies! The boys are PUMPED! --- 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 set. Game one feels like a lifetime ago. We can't really hit but we're still winning and that's good I guess?

Fight! Fight! Fight! What if I told you the Mets' benches would clear twice in a month and Pete Alonso would be threatening to put people in the hospital? Would you believe me?? Also the crazy comeback, Max Scherzer's dominance, and Chris Bassitt being Chris Bassitt. It's 3:30 AM and I forgot to make marks for timestamps but we talk about the fight for the first like 10 minutes and start the Mailbag around the 35 minute mark.

Not a bad series. A weird, dry series. Which makes sense for the desert. Don't be scared about Edwin Díaz, be excited about Tylor Megill, and be curious as to what's going on with Robinson Canó Game 1: 0:00 Game 2: 17:03 Game 3: 27:02 Housekeeping: 40:33 Cardinals Preview: 48:46 --- 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.
