For All You Kids Out There

It's Episode 28 of For All You Kids Out There. It's been a weird week, folks. We've lost Leonard Cohen and Bartolo Colon, two of the muses of the pod. We will soldier on though as we try and figure out what happened to the 2017 Mets starting pitching depth, ponder the qualifying offers to Neil Walker and Yoenis Cespedes, propose Jay Bruce trades, and go deep on the upcoming Rule 5 draft protection...

In Episode 27 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett are taking the end of baseball season (and the end of Daylight Savings Time) particularly hard. There is Mets news to discuss though, and almost none of it is good. We start in the first half with a chat about Jeurys Familia's recent arrest on Domestic Violence charges before moving on to a less depressing topic like the Mets picking...

In Episode 26 of For All You Kids Out There, there is actually some Mets news to talk about this week, but it is a case of "be careful what you wish for." Before we get into the actual news though, Jeffrey and Jarrett discuss where they get their jeans and somehow Carlos Tocci doesn't come up. Then it is time to move onto Yoenis Cespedes, who might be, uh, moving on. We also discuss Curtis Grander...

In Episode 25 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett survey the last week of Mets baseball news and find...well nothing, really. So how is this show two hours long? Well if you haven't figured that out 25 episodes in, we can't help you. On the docket in the first half, Jeffrey and Jarrett talk Jon Niese (for the last time?), Jose Reyes (for the last time), and survey the Mets farm syst...

In Episode 24 of For All You Kids Out There, we have a lot of time to kill until there will be any actual Mets new of import to talk about. And it is even longer until pitchers and catchers report. Sigh. So what to do in the interim? Well, in the first half of the show we will make do with the scraps of a fallow news cycle. Terry Collins might be retiring, Tim Tebow might be really bad at baseball...

In Episode 23 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett put a bow on the 2016 Mets season by going through the team's entire roster, finding time for digressions (as we do) on Wilmer Flores' hamate, Jeurys Familia's future, Cespedes' opt-out, Bartolo Colon's greatness, and Jon Niese's 2017 contract status. We also chat a bit about Tim Tebow's impending Arizona Fall League debut before ans...

"On the day that i become so forgetful that all of this melts away, I will burn all the calanders that counted the years down to such a worthless day." It's nobody's fault really, but here we are. Time for Jarrett to write a bunch of the stuff for the Annual and figure out how many dudes he needs to cut from the 40 to add Marcos Molina. Assuming he ever gets out of the Citi Field parking lot of co...

The Mets are in the playoffs, sort of. So this is a playoff preview, sort of. In the first half of the show we are joined by David Roth to reflect on the 2016 Mets season, the snack options in Wilmington DE, and the Justin Ruggiano experience. In the second half of the show, Jonathan Bernhardt from Today's Knuckleball comes on to discuss the rest of the playoffs, dish out some trolls, and read out...

We didn't really feel like doing a podcast honestly, but there is always baseball to talk about, and that is why it is the best, even when it is also the worst.

In Episode 20 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett aren't quite ready to be discussing playoff rosters yet, but are very ready to discuss Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom, Gabriel Ynoa, and multiple Riveras in the first half of the show. In the second half, Toby Hyde is here to discuss the development of Robert Gsellman, Seth Lugo, and solar energy projections. And in the third half of...

Roughly around when Montero was left in to give up a bomb to Mat Latos (who has a cat named Cat Latos), Jarrett gchatted Jeffrey to demand a podcast. Once Gabriel Ynoa was removed from the game, Jeffrey acquiesced, we called the Kates, and this is the result.

In Episode 19 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett are joined by noted Florida woman, Kate Feldman, as they discuss the NL Cy Young race, the Giants and Cardinals stumbling in September, and when we might finally see Gavin Cecchini actually play. Next, in the second half of the show, it's...sigh...Tebow Time. Finally, in the third half of the show, we answey your emails and Kate extr...

The Mets are still in a playoff race as we record our 18th episode. We are as shocked as you are. In the first half of the show, we zoom out and look at playoff and award races across baseball, at least when not getting distracted by the usual stuff. Jarrett had to go to Trenton to watch a game, so in the second half of the show, we just let David Roth (in case you couldn't figure out he might be...

In Episode 17 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey is mourning the lack of a This Week in Gabriel Ynoa, Jarrett is recovering from a four-hour indy wrestling show, and there is a lot to cover in Metsland. In the first half of the show, we break down the week that was, going day-by-day through the Mets series with the Cardinals and Phillies while examining our frustrations with the Collins and Al...

We return with regular programming, which means a two-plus-hour podcast with too much pro wrestling talk. In the first half of the show we chat about when and if to shut down Syndergaard and Matz, if Travis d'Arnaud is now underrated again, and what the Mets should do this offseason with Neil Walker. In the second half, Mike Vorkunov of BP Mets and everywhere else on the interent joins us to break...

So somtimes you start out to record the second half of the show with some friends and it spirals out of control into a whole show because it is one in the morning in Boston and you have had a few beers. And sometimes you realize only fifty minutes of that audio is usable because it is one in the morning in Boston, you've had a few beers, and Kate Morrison has spilled beer all over the floor of you...

In Episode 14 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett dissect the tire fire that is the NL East Second Wild Card race. The Mets are still in it, we don't know how. But in the first half of the show we examine Cespedes' DL stint and what it might mean for the Mets playoff hopes and the Mets outfield alignment (and Cespedes' golf game). We also take a look at the fifth starter candidates...

In hindsight, we definitely should have recorded after the deadline. Nevertheless, enjoy this round up of the wheelin' and dealin' from Monday. Jarrett is much less angry than we were promised though.

It's the For All You Kids Out There trade deadline spectacular. In an ideal world we would have recorded this after the actual trade deadline, but Jeffrey has to bowl, and Jarrett has another podcast. Fortunately there is no way anything in this podcast will look foolishly behind the times by the time you listen, right? In the first half of the show, we try to figure out what is going on with the...

It's one of those weekends where it is too damn hot to turn off our air conditioners while we record, but we did make sure to re-record the guest segment so there wasn't blaring Latin music in the background (we'll explain within). In Episode 12 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett talk about the Mets outfield alignment and the ever-shifting market for pitching. In the second half of...

It's all-star week here on For All You Kids Out There (and we imagine elsewhere in the baseball world as well), so you'd think there wouldn't be much to talk about. You might be new here, it's only Episode 11 after all, so we assure you, there is always too much to talk about on For All You Kids Out There. Jeffrey and Jarrett talk about the trade market for starting pitching on the heels of the Dr...

In Episode 10 Jeffrey issues a mea culpa to the Pirates before Jarrett and he dive into one last baseball-related This Week in Matt Harvey for 2016. There's more bad news on the starting pitching front as well, so we discuss if the Mets should be buying starting pitching at the deadline and what a deal might look like. One starting pitcher who we imagine is available is Wade LeBlanc, but that isn'...

In Episode 9 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett tackle the most prominent issue in Metsland: that ridiculous Cespedes third tank home run. Okay, it's all downhill from there, but man that was a lot of fun. We discuss balky elbows, the wild card race, and soft selling before welcoming on Kate Morrison and Russell Carlton to talk about major league front offices and Saving America's...

It feels like it has been weeks since our last episode, so there is a lot of ground to cover in Episode 8. We start with a discussion of new Met, Jose Reyes, before moving on to happier topics, like the Mets plethora of arm issues. We also talk about Michael Conforto being optioned for Brandon Nimmo before delving in deeper on Reyes with Sports Illustrated's Emma Span. Then it is time for your e-m...

Saturday is usually the day Jeffrey and Jarrett make their notes for the show. Instead, they recorded in a hotel room in Bethlehem, PA between games in a split International League doubleheader. On the plus side, this is the shortest episode yet, on the minus side, it is still as disorganized and bogged down in pro wrestling talk as usual. In the first half of the show we discuss Noah Syndergaard'...
