Home Run Applesauce: A New York Mets podcast

In Episode 162 of Amazin' Avenue Audio, Jeffrey and Brian scrounge around for bits of news as the Winter Meetings kick off. The Mets will have a new bench coach, but a lot of the same players. Next David Roth of Vice Sports joins the show to talk about things to do in Scarsdale and Bridgeport and scan baseball-reference pages while discussing Raul Valdes and Trot Nixon's Mets careers. Finally, we...

Amazin' Avenue Audio is back again, as Steve and Jeffrey complain about the opening question segment, discover the Mets made a bunch of minor league free agent signings, ruminate about a Jenrry Mejia tender, and rant about Wuilmer Becerra being left off the  40-man. Then it is time for your (pro wrestling) e-mails that are of interest to probably only Stuart. But don't say we didn't warn you this...

In Episode 160, Jeffrey and Lukhas discuss all the goings-on in Metsland, which include...well...uh...the Mets are interested in Ben Zobrist? Jordan Zimmermann signed with a team in the AL Central? People on twitter want to trade Lucas Duda? Yeah, it is the miserable dregs of the offseason where we have nothing to talk about and still somehow fill 60 minutes. We also answer your e-mails about Dani...

It's time for your hosts Amazin' Avenue Audio Offseason Plans, but Chris McShane can't be bothered to defend his 2014 title (which he won by cheating). He claims he is sick or something, leaving Jeffrey and Greg to debate the merits of Hansel Robles, 8th inning guy versus Dexter Fowler, leadoff hitter. Next, we answer your e-mails on Jeremy Hefner, Marcell Ozuna, and once and future podcast legend...

You won't stop e-mailing the show, so Jeffrey and Lukas break the emergency weekend podcast seal to clean out the inbox. And since there is a bit of Mets news to cover we kick things off with a discussion of Daniel Murphy's Qualifying Offer and the Mets "attempts" to trade for Andrelton Simmons. Then it is onto your e-mails about Adam Eaton, Denard Span, trading Lucas Duda, spending lots of money,...

Normally by now on Amazin' Avenue Audio, we would have done a season review, an offseason preview, and some Rule 5 talk, but as you may have heard on podcasts like this one, the Mets spent all of October in the playoffs. So we have some catching up to do. First Jeffrey and Kate review the 2015 season one last time and discuss the Terry Collins extension. Next, Jeffrey and Brian look at some early...

Gather round listeners and you shall here, well nothing about Game 5 of the World Series. It doesn't feel right (and really you could just listen to the Game 4 recap again for effect). Instead Jeffrey, Steve, Lukhas, and Brian throw an Irish Wake for the 2015 Mets. There will be time for season reviews, offseason previews, and hot Rule 5 protection action in a week or so, but for now we send off o...

"The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor." - Albert Camus Look, you know what's coming in this episode. You can probably guess what we are going to discuss. Whether you choose to listen or not...

In our Game 3 World Series recap, Jeffrey and Greg are exuberant after the Mets win over the Royals at Citi Field. We also might be loud because we tried to record on podcast on Jeffrey's phone on the way back to the 7 train. Greg is in love with David Wright, Jeffrey is confused by Ned Yost, The Mets are back in the World Series, and we are all back in the New York Groove. The lesson is you shoul...

In Episode 153 Jeffrey and Chris try to make sense of the first two games of the World Series. It's hard, because we are very tired, and the Mets have been kinda bad. We review the bizarre oddities of Game 1, the depressing thrashing in Game 2, and try and figure out a way back into the series for the New York Mets.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In the first ever Amazin' Avenue Audio World Series preview Jeffrey and Greg are confused and terrified. This was true before every other Mets playoff series though, so a good omen perhaps? We discuss the Mets playoff rotation, how confident we are in the Mets bullpen, and who on the Royals scares us the most. Next, Andy McCullough, who you may remember from appearances on such podcasts as this on...

In Episode 151 of Amazin' Avenue AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

It's another milestone episode for Amazin' Avenue Audio! Seems like this one came around quickly. Maybe because we are doing podcasts after every playoff game and THE METS KEEP PLAYING PLAYOFF GAMES YOU GUYS. This one was similar to the previous two. Good pitching, scrappy runs, Daniel Murphy dongs, DANZA KUDURO, and the Familia fist pumps. What happens next? We have no idea. This is crazy. We als...

In episode 149 of Amazin' Avenue Audio, Jeffrey and Steve recap the Mets Game Two win over the Cubs in the NLCS. We've run out of things to say about Daniel Murphy, and we can't say it any better than Pedro when it comes to Noah Syndergaard, so we just end up exchanging recipe ideas by the end of the show. Though there is some (more) real talk about our emotional state as it relates to the 2015 Me...

The Mets won Game 1 of the NLCS behind a sterling performance by Matt Harvey, and Jeffrey and Steve are hear to talk about it in Episode 148 of Amazin' Avenue Audio. Not at the bar where they were watching the game (Jeffrey's phone died), but several hours later when we were all very sleepy. "Let's do it in ten minutes" was the off-air directive, so of course enjoy thirty minutes of discussion on ...

In Amazin' Avenue Audio's measured, reasoned review of NLDS Game 5, Jeffrey, Greg, and Steve consider the big questions? Like is Jacob deGrom a "big game pitcher?" Is Noah Syndergaard a "Big game pitcher?" Is Jerurys Familia a "big game pitcher?" Have we reached peak Daniel Murphy? And what do we think of the Chicago Cubs? There's also some great NYC ambient sound because Greg decided to walk his...

In Amazin' Avenue Audio's NLDS Game 4 recap, well, things didn't go to Terry Collins (also our) plan, so the Mets are headed out West for a do or die Game 5, whch hopefully won't be as crazy as Blue Jays/Rangers. We tip out hat to Clayton Kershaw (though we wish he could have waited another year to smash some #narrative) and talk about how we are coping with the impending Game 5. Fortunaely the Me...

In our Game 3 NLDS wrap-up, Jeffrey and Chris take time out of the Mets blowout to chat about pacing your boos, America's favorite shortstops, and big dongs. We also get serenaded by exuberant (and possibly inebriated) Mets fans belting out Bily Joel. It's all in a day's work on Amazin' Avenue Audio. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeffrey and Steve discuss Game 2 of the NLDS and some have some very harsh words for Chase Utley. Parental discretion is advised. We probably should have also talked about Syndergaard's start, and the bullpen managenment in the seventh inning, and the Mets recent offensive struggles, but any and all of that would be burying the lead here.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adcho...

These podcasts after every Mets playoff game were a better idea before the 9:45 announced first pitch, but Jeffrey and Greg brave sleep deprivation, jet lag, and not enough coffee to bring you a podcast recap of the Mets Game One win over the Dodgers in Los Angeles. We discuss the greatest magic trick Michael Cuddyer ever pulled, Jacob deGrom's dominant start, the unfailing entropy of Daniel Murph...

In Episode 142 of Amazin' Avenue Audio, the crew has discovered the meaning of the universe, and it is the Mets in the playoffs! Greg and Jeffrey look back on their favorite Mets from 2015 and forward to how we are feeling about the Dodgers series (Greg is optimistic, Jeffrey pessimistic, F###n shocker as Billy Wagner would say). Next, David J. Roth of Vice Sports is here to discuss...the 2001 Dia...

When it's time to party we will party hard You, You work all night (all night) And when you work you don't feel all right And when, When things stop feeling all right (all right) And everything is all right 'Cos we will never listen to your rules (no) We will never do as others do (no) Know what we want and we get it from you Do what we like and we like what we do So let's get a party going (let's...

In Episode 140 of Amazin' Avenue Audio, Jeffrey and Greg are back in studio to discuss the Mets recent offensive woes, the Blue and White Wizards recent League Cup victory, Jeffrey's gambling woes, our collective mental state, and of course to answer all your e-mails that have piled up over the last two weeks.

In a special live edition from PitchTalks at Katch Brewery in Astoria, Queens, Jeffrey and Greg are joined by special guests Toby Hyde of the Mostly Mets Podcast and Maggie Wiggin of MetsBlog. We discuss Mets TV crossovers, what we missed on Michael Conforto, if Steven Matz is a "big game pitcher" (there are children in the audience), and whether Kevin Plawecki and Dilson Herrera have roles on the...

In the "Yoenis Cespedes is probably not the NL MVP but he is the MVP of our hearts" edition, Jeffrey and Steve try to make sense of the Mets sweep of the Nationals. Failing that, they babble incoherently about Yoenis Cespedes and answer e-mails about Dillon Gee and Eric Young jr, because BartYOLO.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
