Mets'd Up

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!

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.
