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.
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.
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 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.

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.
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.
