Description
ONE HUNDRED EPISODES of the good, the bad and the Mets-ie. We started this podcast having never even heard of our Lord and savior uncle Stevie Cohen and look at us now! It's been a wild ride with highs and lows and wild boars, but one hundred episodes later and we're still standing and this team is still up four games in the NL East.
We zig and we zag, but no matter the schedule or opponent we always seem to find ourselves with a four-game cushion. If you had told us that we'd have to play with mostly bench players and a taxed pitching staff and bullpen and we'd MAINTAIN a division lead over the course of that entire stretch, we'd call you crazy, but with June coming to a close we're still here.
The offense hasn't looked good, that's just a fact, but no matter the circumstance we continue to, time and time again, find ways to pull out a W even when we shouldn't. Yes, it helps that the division is dreadful, but we're not exactly in fighting shape either. Nimmo should be back this week with JD Davis not too far behind, meaning that we'll have our first, full opening day lineup in nearly 2 months! For the fans complaining, have some perspective people. Things could have gone much, much worse and now we're coming to full strength right in time for the break.
It's not often that the baseballs gods smile upon us so stop looking a gift horse in the mouth! The guys breakdown the Phillies series that saw our bats fall silent and their bullpen and defense implode. It wasn't a pretty sight to see, but as long as teams keep allowing us to stick around, we're gonna find ways to make them pay for it. We discuss the clutch hits from Lindor, Dom and Conforto, the great outings from the staff and why Bryce Harper really doesn't give the Mets faithful too much cause for concern.
KFC also claims a new "guy," Clem alerts us to a swagger jacking and we determine whether or not that viral Jeter jersey is a troll job or the cruelest of punishments for one fan.
This marathon schedule is not for the faint of heart, but we gotta believe that come all-star break we'll be in prime position to take this thing to a new level.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
