The stove is HOT my friends. Jacob deGrom signed with the Texas Rangers Friday night and JUSTIN VERLANDER signed with the Mets on Monday. We have a little therapy session and break down the key differences between the two. Then, there's plenty of nostalgia for deGrom and a bigger conversation about his unique place in Mets history.

Another wild one. Technical difficulties, no news, travelling, you get it all here. And baseball, always some baseball. Some Jacob deGrom rumors came through, Mike Clevinger and José Abreu signed deals that can tell us something about the market, and the Mets had a preliminary meeting with Carlos Rodón. Eric Chavez was also bumped to bench coach with Jeremy Barnes moving up to hitting coach which is some fun Mets news.

This once a week thing is weird. Lots of playoffs happened and we talk about the Yankees, Astros, Phillies, Padres, and even the Braves a little bit before dropping some World Series predictions (Go 'Stros). Then, we get back to the Mets and talk about Tomás Nido's Gold Glove nomination along with Francisco Lindor, Jeff McNeil, and Luis Guillorme's snubs for the award PLUS a little interaction between Marc and Juan Soto. Some odds and ends after: quick Fall League tidbit, Luis Rojas, Shohei Ohtani, Ronny Mauricio.

The boys are back after a week off of mostly sulking and sleeping. We run around the league catching up on the death of the Braves and Dodgers, finally reflect on the divisional race that wound up killing both teams and give our takes on the playoff format that has so many folks riled up. Then some Mets talk because this is a Mets show. Glad to be back.

Bad day, sad day. The Padres crushed us and now our backs are against the wall. Max Scherzer wasn't himself and we let Yu Darvish off the hook early. We got a little upset but hey, Jacob deGrom today let's get a win.

Playoffs baby. It's not where we wanted to be in the short term but exactly where we wanted to be when we started this insane season. The Padres are in town for the inaugural three game Wild Card series and all bets are off. Max Scherzer will toe the rubber against Met-Killer Yu Darvish on Friday night and in front of what should be an electric Citi Field faithful. I don't even know what else to say I'm so excited. We get deep on the Padres roster, letting you guys know who to look out for, and talk about the strange similarities between these two teams. Predictions, off-topic nonsense, Jonny Stats, breaking news, and a quiz on the last Mets playoff roster. Fun epsiode, GET HYPE!

We needed this one. The Mets exorcised last weekend's demons by thoroughly destroying the Nationals to end their regular season on a high note. Francisco Álvarez hit his 1st career HR, Jeff McNeil won the batting title, Lindor had some knocks, Nimmo wrapped up a sensational season, everyone got in on the action against Washington. James noticed something about Taijuan Walker that could be important come playoff time AND tied up the Esti-Met at the finish line. Jon lets everyone know how we're going to settle the tie plus a little behind the scene look at his day as Ball Boy. We close with sharing our favorite memories from the season, what a whirlwind.

Not much else to say here. The Braves were better than us and showed it on the field. We talked about the series and how it fits into our season in general. Moaning, groaning, some positivity, lots of venting, it's exactly what you need on this somber day. James also got back into the Esti-Met and we discuss possible fall-out/tie-breaker. And we introduce our new producer, Vito! We'll look ahead next time, this was a therapy session.

Literal chaos. Tuesday sucked besides Pete Alonso's 40th HR. Wednesday was insane though: James ate 9 hot dogs, Eduardo Escobar put the team on his back, the Nationals beat the Braves, Marc pulled out a miracle Esti-Met win, wild episode. On to Atlanta.

Marc & James sat down with legendary Mets radio play-by-play announcer Howie Rose. Howie spoke about his love for the Mets, his career in broadcasting, using social media & what he thinks we can expect from the 2022 New York Mets. Howie was an amazing interview with a ton of great insight. This was awesome!

The title makes this episode way more put together than it actually was. Marc is coming off his record-breaking three MLB games in 24 hours feat that will be on YouTube this week. James joined him for the last leg and grinded all day Sunday. So, brains are broken. Despite rampant stupidity, we break down the entire, strange series out in Oakland. Three blowouts, Pete broke the Mets single season RBI record, Francisco Lindor reached 100 RBI for the first time in his career, and Mark Vientos hit his first career HR! On the pitching side, James has a big breakdown of Chris Bassitt and why he's getting fewer strikeouts and then the boys get deep on Jacob deGrom and may have uncovered the craziest stat ever. Interesting one, delirious before some real seriousness. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Good series in Milwaukee. Max Scherzer returned on Monday night and helped the Mets clinch their first playoff berth in six years with six perfect innings. That was followed by a very subdued, very sophisticated, very warranted celebration. Then Tuesday Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso showed off their power with home runs to send the Mets to victory. Wednesday was less fun, but the Mets won another series and continue to steam ahead in their pursuit of the National League East crown. Marc also has come all the way back to tie the Esti-Met. You guys also get a glimpse into the boys day at MLB Network which is going to provide some GREAT bonus content on here. Lastly Marc, James, and Jon go around naming all the crazy Mets players that we've seen since the last playoff berth in 2016. There are some names.

Bang! Just what the doctor ordered! Shoutout to you guys for cleansing those chakras because the Mets quickly flipped the script on their week with a four game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Francisco Lindor got it started on Thursday for Roberto Clemente Night with a new glove, fresh cleats, and a loud home run. By the end of the series, the whole team got in on the fun. Jeff McNeil stayed hot, Pete Alonso drove in a run in every game, Brandon Nimmo was on base at will, Daniel Vogelbach found his power stroke, and Eduardo Escobar stayed swinging a hot bat. Everyone pitched well too, what a series. This episode was kinda nuts though. After last week's zen, we had a bat in our studio. Not like a baseball bat, a bat-bat. Just listen, we swear.

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.

The boys sat down with Wayne Randazzo for a fantastic interview.

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!

The boys are BUZZING after the Mets decisive 4-1 series victory over the 2nd place Braves. Marc and James break down five long games of action from the most pivotal Mets series in years. 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. Oh yeah, and Jacob deGrom's long-awaited return to Citi Field after nearly 400 days, that one was fun too. Marc also won his first Esti-Met: adorable. What a weekend in Queens.

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!
