Mets Podcast - We Gotta Believe

Another series win and another 7-inning double header split. A tale as old as time. They say you gotta give a little to get a little, but a sweep sure would be nice! We can only imagine where we'd be at with a few more Ws in the wins column, but the Mets have had so many 7-inning ballgames at this point that they will only play 158 games from an innings standpoint so that's win in and of itself. T...

Turns out there's only one team in town that should be worrying about their season and it ain't us! This was the weekend the fanbase needed to cool off and get some perspective of what a truly dysfunctional team looks like. Sure we've got our problems, but at lest we don't have problems like those schmucks across town. KFC and Clem break down the Subway Series, the team beating the bombers with bl...

We've been saying that we want to take Bobby Bonilla Day back for a while now, but this was our first opportunity to do it and it looks like the Mets beat us to it! We've been saying for YEARS that every team defers money and that it's a normal thing to do to remain competitive in baseball, but thanks to that hack Rovell, the Mets have become synonymous with awful contracts. Every July 1st, withou...

ONE HUNDRED EPISODES of the good, the bad and the Mets-ie. We started this podcast having never even heard of our Lord and savior uncle Stevie Cohen and look at us now! It's been a wild ride with highs and lows and wild boars, but one hundred episodes later and we're still standing and this team is still up four games in the NL East. We zig and we zag, but no matter the schedule or opponent we alw...

This episode is dedicated to the IL. It is NOT episode 100 since KFC wasn't available to record, but we needed to do something after the panic of this week's 4-game series with the Braves. We were all over the place with worry from the deGrom start to the Gsellman/Familia injuries to the Stroman hip issue, not to mention the lack of offense that directly stemmed from the Donnie Stevenson social me...

When the offense was in trouble and the team was barely treading water, we needed a hero to save us. A larger than life folk hero that could swing a bat like Paul Bunyan and whose motto in life was to 'hit dingers.' We needed Donnie "Diesel" Stevenson because the Mets needed some levity to their extremely slow start and Mets fans needed just about anything else to focus on other than the lack of b...

Jacob deGrom can strike out the world, but can he stay healthy enough to do it? After 3 perfect innings and 8 Ks, deGrom left the game again yet again with injury. This time it was right shoulder soreness, but so far this year he's had carousel of aggravations and irritations. From back stiffness and right lat soreness to right side tightness and right flexor tendinitis it seems like with every ne...

Trevor May joins the show to talk all things Mets in 2021. We discuss his arrival to the big apple, what it's like dealing with the 'gremlin' Mets trolls online and the dynamics of the clubhouse for this season. It's no surprise that the guy who vlogs and live streams his video game career is also great on the mic. We got some awesome and candid stories about welcoming the ReplaceMets, the DNA of...

We've got Kevin Pillar hitting 2 HRs with his bloody bat like he's Negan from 'The Walking Dead,' Rob Manfred and the owners changing baseballs and conspiring against the pitchers AND hitters hitting free agency and absolutely no facts to back any of it up! It's been a wild week since our last episode and the team has only played two games. We had David Peterson take another step towards becoming...

At this point how much more can you say about Jacob deGrom? Apparently A TON because we had to jump on for a bonus episode this week just to break down his truly insane numbers. Every time you think you've seen it all, Jake goes out there and tops himself. This isn't just Mount Rushmore of Mets stuff anymore, this is Mount Rushmore of Major League Baseball. Bob Gibson dominated the league to the p...

We've got KFC and Clem BACK IN STUDIO for this week's episode and it was good vibes for all. The guys watched the conclusion of the DBacks' series live and we jump into the June Swoon curse. We're not gonna sugar coat it for you folks, June has been a disaster of a month for as long as anyone can remember, but that was the old Mets. Those were teams that crumbled under pressure and didn't have the...

It's not physically possible to talk New York sports without at least mentioning what the Knicks have been doing in the mecca lately. 2:19-13:50 Talkin' Knicks and revitalizing the city. The Mets season has been a rollercoaster ride thus far, but despite the Triple-A squad taking the field every day, we're still somehow finding ways to win. Can this be sustained? Will the reinforcements be coming...

At the end of the day we're all just rooting for laundry and there's no better example than these replaceMets. The team has been ravaged by injury with 14 players heading to the IL, yet despite the tough times, the Mets march on. Under past ownership who knows where we would have wound up, but the Bench Mob rolls deep and we roll on! The guys talk about the tough series in Tampa that should have n...

It's no secret that there was no love lost between the New York Mets and Matt Harvey when they parted ways. The one-time all-star had the city of Gotham eating out of the palm of his hand, but the brightest stars burn twice as fast. The guys reflect on the impact that Matt Harvey had on the franchise, what his starts meant during the dark ages of Mets fandom and how his fixation with celebrity ult...

Special Bonus Edition of WGB because there is simply way too much going on with this ball club to cover it all in one episode. Not saying that we're going to have an episode for every series the Mets play, but when you got the new face of your franchise and the Hits6od going at it in a tunnel you better believe we're dedicating an episode to it!!! Team Rat, Team Raccoon or Team RatCoon it doesn't...

Do you or a loved one suffer from Metsothelioma? Then you may be entitled to compensation. Make no mistake about it, new ownership or not, being a Mets fan is a sickness and this week was a prime example of that!! What felt like a marathon of events was crammed into just 7 days and had the guys thinking they may need to add a second episode if it continues on this pace. We break down the Dom Smith...

No, we're not really rebranding to a Knicks podcast (yet), but it is goddamn exhausting being positive about the Mets at the moment and Luis Rojas and the bats aren't making it any easier! The lineup has "anxiety" and it's sending us over the deep end. Seriously though, what kind of manager offers that up as an excuse for the entire lineup not hitting with runners in scoring position? As far as we...

No matter who the owner may be, there is one inalienable rule to baseball and that's that there are highs and lows to every season. No matter how good or bad a team is you can almost always pencil in 70 wins and 70 losses. Those extra 22 are what determines the cream of the crop. This week was a perfect example of that. Our starting pitching was pumping on all cylinders and the team was cruising t...

Mets fans are some of the most passionate around and with that passion comes over reaction. We fly high and sink low at the drop of a hat and boy are we flying right now! After a slow start that dealt with COVID cancellations and rain outs, the Mets finally got back to playing consistent baseball and wouldn't you know it, the sky isn't falling after all. The rotation has looked amazing lately with...

After the postponement to start the season and the lackluster performance in Philly, we have decided to call for an Opening Day Reset!! Those first 3 games were just a warm up and we will treat them as such. Does our bullpen look like a colossal disaster? Yes. Did the team hang Jacob deGrom out to dry YET AGAIN? Yes. Can our batters hit with RISP? No. Are we choosing to ignore all of that for a li...

Happy Opening Day and a very happy LINDOR DAY to you and yours! Baseball is back, the Mets are back and Steve Cohen is the savior we all knew he would be!!! The finance titan signs our franchise shortstop at the eleventh hour to the tune of $341 Million and we are flying high into the inaugural season of the Golden Era of Cohen. The city is buzzin' The team is ready to rock and we've got the best...

Last week of Spring Training and we are more than ready to get this over with. The team is set, we have our guys, now let's go out and play!!! Spring Training was useful back when the pros were working on boat docks in the offseason, but now we've got finely tuned athletic machines and we want them to get their swings in when it counts. They guys weigh in on the grind of the offseason and how exha...

Citi Field is Back! Albeit 20 percent, but we'll take what we can get. Fans will be in the stands come Opening Day and that crowd is gonna be rockin' from the first pitch. KFC and Clem break down what this means for Barstool at the Ballpark and how we're working to make sure that everyone has the best experience possible. Yes, it's socially distanced. Yes, it means that the group may need to be sp...

Carlos Carrasco's elbow is flaring up and we're getting PTSD of promising pitchers of past. Cookie is injury prone, but Luis Rojas seems confident that rest is all he needs. He'll be back on the bump next week and we'll be holding our breath to see if he's looking right!! Speaking of "looking right," we haven't been able to look at much of anything this spring with SNY and WCBS' scheduling. MLB pr...

The Mets are well underway into their Spring campaign and everything is smelling like roses. We've got James McCann throwing out runners, Pete crushing baseballs and Marcus Stroman dripping in confidence!! Not even Agent Rachel and Trevor Bauer can sour our good mood with their excuses and BS attempts at saving face because we've moved on! Stroman debuted his new split-change and had a message for...
