Cup of Mets

Quick little episode here before the Trade Deadline. It's quite apparent the Mets will sell though some are still hoping for a turnaround. Rob and Ian will be back at it for a Trade Deadline themed Episode 17 early next week.

Throughout Episode 15 we discuss a range of topics from last night's wild 11-10 win versus the Chicago White Sox, Francisco Alvarezs' Ceiling, the poor performances being seen from both the bullpen as a whole and Pete Alonso individually. With the Trade Deadline 2 weeks away we chat about where the Mets currently standing in the hunt and in regards to selling and buying. FOLLOW US on Insta...

The Mets will begin the second half of their season tomorrow night versus the Los Angeles Dodgers with Justin Verlander set to take the hill. The club was not however expecting to be staring down an 18.5 deficit in the NL East nor being 7 games behind the final wild card spot, but here they are at 42-48. We dive into some of the keys entering the second half, identify some areas of improvement as...

Recorded moments after the final out was recorded to this wild win out west in the Desert. I'd also like to apologize in advance for the audio difficulties we experienced throughout this episode.

Things aren't going swimmingly in Mets land - now eight games under .500% and 8.5 games back of the final wild card spot. Fans are calling for both Showalter & Epplers jobs as Steve Cohen announces he'll be speaking with the media pregame tomorrow. Never a dull moment as a Mets fan.

We preview the upcoming (abbreviated) Subway Series that begins tonight with Max Scherzer donning the bump, being opposed by Luis Severino as well as tomorrows Verlander/Cole showdown. While we're excited for the inner-city rivalry, we discuss the fact that the Mets are coming off of a roadtrip that saw them lose 5 of 6 which included a sweep at the hands of the Braves. We touch upon the ups a...

Episode Recorded: May 6th (Pre-Game) The odd 2023 New York Mets season continued this past week as the boys returned home from their poor road trip and excited us all by sweeping the Phillies then drained us all by getting swept by the Blue Jays. The offense has gone MIA unless your name is Starling Marte and Mark Canha...weird times. We can only hope they can get more consistent and right the shi...

Recorded on Tuesday, May 30th prior to start of 7:10PM Game. The Mets continued their losing ways when facing foes with sub .500 records as they lost four of six during their latest road trip to Chicago & Colorado. Starting pitching is improving but the club may be dealing with a Tylor Megill issue now as he's managed to accumulate just 7.2 IP over his last two starts combined; discuss wha...

Recorded on Friday, May 19th prior to start of 7:10PM Game.

Recorded May 9th (Pre-Scherzer Scratch) At 17-18, the Mets have lost 11 of their last 14 and are entering a three game set beginning tonight in Cincinnati. Max Scherzer who was scheduled to pitch tonight was scratched due to neck spasms hours after recording, David Peterson filled in horribly. The rotation in general is in shambles ranking 27th in the bigs as their starters are averaging 4.1 IP pe...

Recorded May 3rd: Through 31 games, the boys are 16-15 and are currently struggling a tad. Regardless of whose taking the bump to start, the rotation has continuously failed to go beyond 5 innings, causing major strain and essentially setting the bullpen up to fail. We'll discuss Buck Showalters' decision to keep Denyi Reyes in for a second inning during game 1 of Sunday's double heade...

Recorded: April 24th. Through 24 games the Mets are sitting at 14-10 and given multiple circumstances regarding the rotation (Injuries, Suspensions, Failing to go more than 6 innings) we're rather content with their start. After a successful 7-3 homestand where the club swept Oakland, took 2/3 from the Dodgers and then split a four game set with San Francisco - the boys return home for a three...

Recorded April 13th. The squad is off and running, sitting at 7-6 over the first 13 and begin a three game set against Oakland. There are some concerns as the club heads west as Carlos Carrasco looks miserable and a third of the starting lineup - Canha, Escobar and Nido - look absolutely lost at the dish. We discuss these issues in a bit more detail as well as highlight some early season positives...

Preface: Recorded March 29th, 2023. We apologize for any Audio/Display technical difficulties... Episode Three will be technically savvy - you have our word. We are kids the night before Christmas - it's Opening Day Eve and excitement levels are at an all time high.

Hitting the ground RUNNING here in Season 2. We discuss Edwin Diaz being out for the year after his WBC blunder and the ramifications it causes to the bullpen as well as Jose Quintana's injury and David Peterson being named the five starter as a result. We'll examine the depth of the starting rotation, bullpen as well as chop it up as to whether or not the #Mets lineup is deep enough headi...

Well with the conclusion of this episode the Hot Stove season has come and gone (thank the heavens above). We discuss those already down in Port St Lucie six days ahead of camp opening as well as an old friend in Carlos Beltran who has returned yet again to the organization - this time in a front office capacity. We'll touch upon how Matt Allan's prospect stock has taken yet another hit, we give y...

The Mets have avoided arbitration and then some with All Star 2nd Basemen Jeff McNeil; inking the beloved squirrel to a 4 year $50 million dollar contract extension w/ an option for a fifth. Is Pete Alonso the next to receive an extension and if so, what does that contract look like as well as why the sooner a deal is reached the better Steve Cohen can access next off-seasons free agent class...17...

Tommy Pham is the latest member of the New York Mets, so instant reaction is a given. We'll also touch upon where Francisco Alvarez and Brett Baty currently stand in regards to the Opening Day roster as well as the potential of adding either Andrew Chafin or Zack Britton before the conclusion of the offseason. 27 days until pitchers and catchers report to Port St Lucie & The Cup of Mets couldn...

Carlos Correa's deal with the Mets has fallen apart and he has rejoined the Minnesota Twins. We discuss the fall out of Correa heading elsewhere as well as the Mets reported interest in Andrew McCutchen, Trey Mancini, Adam Duvall, Jurickson Profar and perhaps where the club goes from here. 34 days until Pitchers and Catchers report. Can't come any sooner.  Shoot us a follow on Twitter, Instagram &...

Carlos Correa still isn't officially a Met...You don't know what's going on, we don't know what's going on but some of the reporters are in the range of 51-55% sure of what's going on. Ken Rosenthal is also reporting the deal will look drastically different after the #Mets had concerns about Correa's Leg, so we're all over the place. We're also questioning whether or not Escobar or Guillorme gets...

Steve Cohen continues wreaking havoc on the league; this time it's done over a 3 AM martini and a phone call with Scott Boras which led Carlos Correa to becoming a Met. Oh yea since we last spoke Justin Verlander is a Met. So is Kodai Senga. And David Robertson. Oh also, Brandon Nimmo will be a Met for life and Adam Ottavino is returning. We also just so happened to be live when the club dealt Jam...
