Mets Podcast - We Gotta Believe

Clem and Kyle fire up an emergency pod to talk about Billy Eppler's explosive Black Friday signings. Eduardo Escobar, Mark Canha and Starling Marte mark the team's turnaround and the tip of the iceberg for much bigger spending. The guys break down each player, how they'll fit into the scheme and clubhouse and which players should still be on Billy Boy's radar. This was the sign we've all been wait...

Turns out Thor is more two-faced than Loki as Noah Syndergaard double crossed the Amazin's and skipped town for California. The one time "ace-in-waiting" never fully lived up to anyone's lofty expectations, but we were hopeful for a comeback with the qualifying offer. There were no guarantees that he would take it, but based on his comments and social media posts we thought it was a foregone concl...

We tried waiting for positive news as long as we could, but with the recent news of Raquel Ferreira declining an interview for the Mets vacant GM position, the guys had to jump on the pod to discuss what has been going on with this ball club. It makes ZERO SENSE that the Mets haven't even been able to set up an interview for their president of baseball ops or GM positions and we're breaking out th...

It's Black Monday for the Mets and Luis Rojas was the first out the door. We're sure that more heads will roll before the off-season is over, but Luis' name was definitely at the top of everyone's list. The guys jump on to discuss his stressful tenure, we weigh the option of actually keeping him around in another roll and we take a look at the far too early list of candidates that could fill the r...

Clem and Kyle pick up the shattered pieces of a bygone season and try to make sense of what happened. We've had plenty of time to let it all sink in, but any time you're setting records for the longest time spent in first place for a losing team you know you've been through the ringer. We also break down Sandy's comments regarding Javy Baez and Luis Rojas, weigh in on Stroman, Syndergaard and Conf...

Huge episode today for the boys! We kick it off with a little weekend recap and some front office rumors, but we gotta believe we’re just spinning our wheels here with 12 games left to play. THE BIG NEWS is we finally got the Polar Bear, Pete Alonso, in studio to answering Mets’ fans burning questions. We talked about the struggles of this year’s squad, his HR derby performances, what it’s like to...

Let's been honest here, we all knew this was coming. After August we tricked ourselves into thinking there was a chance to turn it back around but we lost too much ground too quickly and couldn't regain our footing in time. The Cardinals' sweep of the Mets this week essentially marks the end of any postseason campaign and has forced Mets fans to look back on what could have been and ahead to what...

Very rarely does a match-up live up to the hype, but this weekend's Subway Series had EVERYTHING. The drama, the pageantry, the emotion and the raw aggression that you could only dream of between these two teams. The guys break down each game in the series, we talk about the incredible job that they did with the September 11th ceremonies and we are officially ready to declare our love to the Boos...

The guys are joined in studio by Nick Davis, the director of the highly anticipated new 30-For-30 ESPN documentary, 'Once Upon a Time in Queens.' They talk all things 1986 Mets and get a behind-the-scenes look at what it took to get this thing made. It's not often that we as Mets fans can get excited about something happening in September, but this doc is going to be must-watch. Nick gives us his...

The Mets are incapable of only having good news. It's just not in their nature. Despite the team sweeping a double header from the Marlins, mounting a seemingly impossible 5-run, 9th inning comeback and Javy Baez silencing the haters and scoring the winning run, all that was on the back pages of papers today was Mets GM Zack Scott being busted for a DUI. We would like to say this caught us by surp...

"The Mets have won their last 2 games and the offense has finally showed up! They may be turning it on late, but at least there's still some fight left in this group," is how we should have been starting this show. Instead it's "whose got two thumbs and is ready to burn this franchsie to the ground? Those guys!" What a truly wild 24-hour swing. In fact, it was so crazy that we never even began to...

Nothing gets you run out of town faster than an epic collapse, a lackluster offense and a catchy slogan. Last night might have marked the beginning of the end to the interim/full-time/corona season manager as the Mets dropped another 2 games to the Giants, highlighted by Luis pulling Taijuan Walker. There had been murmurs and whispers all season long, but last night the crowd officially turned as...

The Mets are doing just enough to stop us from abandoning ship. Every time we're on the edge, ready to take the plunge, they manage to do JUST ENOUGH to keep us sticking around. The fall has been epic and we're still not done with the west coast woes just yet, but there's hope on the horizon in the form of the Nats and Marlins. Yes, those teams usually find ways to rip our hearts out, but if we ha...

This episode should have been all about the Mets salvaging their Giants series and avoiding a sweep, but JUST BEFORE we started recording a report came out that there's a 99.9% chance that Jacob deGrom will be shut down for the remainder of the season. As you can imagine, this changes things. Not that the pitching has been the problem, but any time you lose the greatest pitcher on the planet for t...

Clem and Kyle try to maintain some semblance of calm while the Mets slip further and further in the standings and kick off their west coast swing tonight. There's no sugar coating it, were down bad right now and this trip could be the tipping point for many in the fanbase. All that being said, if they can manage to survive and get to meaningful games in September we have a shot! The offense is put...

Meek Phill of #MetsTwitter fam (@MeekPhill_) joins KFC and Clem to discuss the ups and downs of the 2021 Mets season. The guys debate how Year 1 of the Cohen Era has been, if the Mets approached the trade deadline correctly, who is to blame for the shortcomings of the offense, and how the rest of the year may go (including the upcoming California gauntlet). You can find every episode of this show...

The Mets are no longer in first place and barely over .500 after scoring five (5) runs in Philadelphia over the weekend. Yet despite that, the guys are talking themselves into the team or at the very least the franchise since the Wilpons are gone. There is a mass exodus to Cuncelina, but there is also a Suicide Squad of Mets fans ready to play out the string until at least the end of the Dodgers-G...

The Marlins did what the Marlins always do, which is stick it to the Mets when it'll hurt the most. The guys try to fight off the Big C before this weekend's trip to Philadelphia and try to figure out which players on the team will help prevent that from happening before Giants and Dodgers double dip from hell. Michael Conforto seems to be a lost cause, Taijuan Walker has fallen from the All-Star...

Kumar Rocker doesn't get signed. Jacob deGrom has a setback that delays his return until Septmber. The Mets lose the series to the Reds. OUR PETS HEADS ARE FALLING OFF. Once again, Metsland has devolved into Panic Citi after an extremely Metsy weekend but Kevin Francis Clancy of all people is trying to keep everyone calm as we try to switch our brains from being held hostages by the Wilpons to han...

Special emergency pod to breakdown the Baez deadline blockbuster You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. For more, visit barstool.link/wegottabelieve

The guys recap the series with the Braves and preview the looming trade deadline. Names are moving, but uncle Stevie and Co. have yet to pull the trigger on anything besides Rich Hill. The division may be getting weaker, but the NL powerhouses are adding and the Mets will need to do the same if they expect to compete come October. KFC and Clem give their wish lists for the moves and determine the...

Clem and Kyle kick off the week with a Blue Jays series recap and preview possible trades ahead of the Friday deadline. The guys talk Rich Hill, Polar Bear Power, the HR Horse and start the #TrustTheTrumpets campaign. We also breakdown the NL East with buyers and sellers and what needs to happen during this HUGE 5-game series against the Braves. August is moving month in baseball and these next fe...

Incredible interview with Mr. Wave himself, Jesse Winker. The guys got the background on all of the events that transpired back in 2019, the social media fallout from crazed fans that ensued and how the current all-star is feeling this season. We asked him what it's like to be considered a Mets Killer, his thoughts on Skyline Chili and more! Not gonna lie, we were REALLY hoping not to like him, bu...

The dirtiest C-word you can utter as a Mets fan is "cuncel" and people are throwing it around like it's nothing! Yes, the team lost their 2nd half opening series to the Pirates and YES, Lindor and deGrom are both injured, but you can't be out here Cunceling da Saeson up 2 games in the division! Positive K opens up the show breaking down why the team isn't done yet and why fans should remain high o...

Clem and Kyle recap the HR derby and all-star game and give Pete his roses for being The Best power hitter in the game today. We talk about the quiet cockiness he brought to the contest, crown Dave Jauss as the king maker and highlight this as the turning point to the polar bear's resurgence. We also breakdown the needs of the team if we want to go deep into September and October with meaningful g...
