THE METSIAN PODCAST: Subway Series Sweep & Trade Deadline Huddle w/ Ernest Dove

From the desk: HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET


⚾

GUEST

Double, double toil and trouble; summer burns, and dog days bubble.  After two losses against the Padres, the resilient Mets responded with a dramatic takedown of the New York Yankees in the subway series.  They thus reestablished a three-game lead over the second-place Atlanta Braves.  Alas, what will prove to be a wild second half of the season is excitedly underway.  With the trade deadline now less than a week away, it's up to the general manager to reinforce the team and fortify their division standing.  Assisting the Metsian Podcast in detailing the Mets' minor league commodities at Billy Eppler's disposal and plotting a potential course of action will be, hailing from the Sunshine State, baseball reporter, and analyst Ernest Dove. 




SUBWAY SERIES SWEEP!

The Metsian Podcast: N.L. East Sizzle with Jeff Cohen of Baseball & BBQ

From the desk: HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET




GUEST

Mets Fever is in the air.  Fans everywhere are becoming wildly happy and contagious.  Suppose you're breaking out in blue and orange dots.  That's because the Mets on Wednesday completed a series victory at Atlanta, taking two out of three games against their top division rival, the defending champion Braves.  As they say, if you want to be the best, you must beat the best.  As such, the Mets have now won four of seven games against the Braves this season, with a dozen more fanatically distressing division contests still to play.  Joining Sam and me to discuss Mets baseball, symptoms of summertime, and the 2022 pennant race will be Jeff Cohen of the acclaimed Baseball & BBQ Podcast.

The Metsian Podcast: Three Months Down, Three Months To Go

From the desk: HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET


Remain calm.  All is well.  Or is it?  The Mets barely survived the month of June but still hold a tenuous lead over the Braves.  Will it last?  Their recent play brings that and many other questions into play.  While the Braves and Phillies have at each other in Philadelphia this evening, Sam Maxwell and I try to sort things out in a quick reaction episode of ...

The Metsian Podcast: Summertime at Flushing By The Bay Begins

From the desk: HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET


The deeper we get into this 2022 season, the more the Mets distinguish themselves as one of baseball's top contenders.  Team depth and resiliency have kept them atop the division and continue pushing this team forward; injuries be damned.  Please join Sam, Rich, and me as we convene to discuss everything going right in Flushing, along with other Mets minutiae.

The Metsian Podcast "Rat in the Grass" Episode

From the desk: HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET



 
It's been said before but bears repeating.  The first-place Mets lead the National League in wins and still have yet to lose a series this season.  They're getting it done with solid pitching, fielding, and timely hitting.  However, we've seen this before.  The season is about a fifth of the way through.  So, let us pause and ask what differentiates this team from last year's Mets, who, on Aug. 14, 2021, dropped in the standings behind the Phillies and Braves and never recovered.  Please join Sam, Rich, and I, as we recap the week and chase down the "rat in the grass" on another getaway day edition of The Metsian Podcast.

The Metsian Podcast: The Getaway Day Flushing Review with Jon Springer

From the desk: HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET


GUEST

May the Fourth Be With You.  Despite Wednesday's sixth inning implosion, The Force remains strong in Queens.  Let's not lose sight of the Mets battling the defending World Champions and coming away with a split and that they are still yet to lose a series this season.  That's partly due to some remarkable pitching from Tylor Megill and a bullpen that combined to pitch a no-hitter against the rival Phillies.  The front office is performing with conviction as well as they bid adieu to Robinson Cano.  Times are indeed changing at Flushing by the Bay.  Please join Rich, featured guest Jon Springer, and me for a getaway day episode of The Metsian Podcast.

The Metsian Podcast: First in the N.L. East and Hit by Pitches

From the desk: HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET



You can't win them all, but the Mets are surely winning a lot, and they keep getting hit by pitches!  Despite losing Wednesday's finale at St. Louis, they've won their first six series to start the season and return home with a 14-6 record, good enough for first place in the National League East.  In that order, pitching, fielding, and timely hitting have led the way, with Buck Showalter spearheading the charge towards the most wins in the majors to date.  Please join Sam, Rich, and me as we deliberate over one of the finest starts to a season in franchise history.

The Metsian Podcast: Opening Series and Countdown to Opening Day with Anna Brice

From the desk: HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET


GUEST
Native New Yorker/Arizona Transplant


Play Ball!!  After a long off-season of collective bargaining and abbreviated Spring Training, the game of baseball - pitching, defense, and timely hitting - is finally topical again.  The New York Mets are now four games into their season, but fans already appear in mid-season form.  After commanding the first three games against the Nationals, the Metsville Nine suffered a late-inning collapse on Sunday, thus preventing them from achieving a season-opening sweep at Washington.  The next stop is Philadelphia.  Afterwhich, it's home sweet home next Friday against the Diamondbacks at Citi Field.  Arizona resident and Mets loyalist Anna Brice joins Sam, Rich, and me, for an opening series recap and everything Blue and Orange.

Stay Tuned

From the desk: BROOKLYN TROLLEY BLOGGER

I'm on an unscheduled break as family and business come before pleasure and hobby.  But please know I am very grateful for the support of my followers and visitors to this blog.  Thank you all.

In the meantime, I am elated over the election of Gil Hodges into baseball's Hall of Fame.  However, I am also somewhat dismayed that former Brooklyn Royal Giants members Grant "Homerun" Johnson, Dick "Cannonball" Redding, and John Donaldson was not distinguished with the same honor. 

The Brooklyn Nets are tops in the Eastern Conference, but I fret they live a precarious existence.  Across the river, the Knicks have yet to match last season's level of defensive mastery.

Chris Kreider continues having a brilliant season (and it's about time).  An increase in team physicality is serving the Rangers well.  With 37-points to date, they are playing on par with the NHL's top contenders.  The Islanders opened the season on a 13-game road trip with a 5-6-2 record.  On November 7, they lost the first of eleven consecutive games until finally defeating the Senators on December 7 at Ottowa - a whole month after their previous victory.  The Isles have played six games in their new home, including one against the Rangers, and have yet to win at the newly opened UBS Arena.

Baseball?  Check out our most recent episode of THE METSIAN PODCAST with guests John Saponaro and Matt Ibanez, hosts of the TIL METS DO US PART PODCAST.  The show initially aired on 4 DEC 2021.



I'll be back ...

Thank you,
