Rico Brogna: A New York Mets Podcast

Evan Roberts wasn't able to record his normally scheduled podcast due to something called a wedding anniversary. That only stopped him for 24 hours. Evan couldn't hold back any longer as he breaks down an amazing day in Flushing New York. Willie Mays number gets retired, an almost flawless old timers day celebration, and a very special moment with Steve Cohen. All that and more on this special Old...

The Mets surprised the entire fanbase and baseball community Saturday by retiring the number 24 in honor of Willie Mays.

Evan takes you through his favorite moments of Old Timers Day, and there were quite a few.

Evan has a run in with the man who has changed the culture to the New York Mets franchise. Did Evan get everything off his chest or did he hold back? Find out.

The New York Mets had a great weekend verse the Rockies, Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer were on fire, Bassitt battled, Old Timers Day and more... but there were still some rough moments and some normal Mets negativity that popped up. Tommy Lugauer of the Carton and Roberts show joins Pete Hoffman to talk about it all. Email topics or comments to TheRicoB@gmail.com

The Mets won 3 of 4 from the Rockies, but it wasn't that easy. There were still some very rough moments to the weekend.

The best part of the weekend for the New York Mets had nothing to do with the 3 out of 4 games won over the Rockies, it was Old Timers Day.

Pete and Tommy dive into the negative Mets fan and why sometimes it's so tough to shake even when the team is having a special year.

The New York Yankees swept the two game series in the Bronx. There are no other words than "it sucked". Evan get's into that, the tight NL East race, Max Scherzer's catcher issues, and where was Jacob deGrom this series. Email topics or comments to TheRicoB@gmail.com

The loss to the Yankees was not as significant as to what the Atlanta Braves are continuing to do,. Plus it's official Max Scherzer needs his own catcher.

Jacob deGrom was held out of the Subway series to instead get more rest and face the Rockies. Evan gives his thoughts on why that makes sense.

In what was supposed to be an acceptable split, the Mets ended up taking 3 of 4 verse the Phillies, but not before giving the fans a bit of a nail biter on Sunday. Evan breaks down how he watched all the games even though he was traveling back from vacation on Saturday while the Double Header was taking place. Plus, what's the best kids baseball movie, preview of the Subway series and Atlanta Brav...

On what was set out to be a "throw away game", instead turned out to be a back and forth nail biting win for the Mets. And it was beautiful.

Evan finally made his way back from vacation, but his travel day was during the double header. How did Evan handle this difficult task. Plus, which baseball movie is number one for the kids.

Looking ahead, the New York Mets get to take on the New York Yankees in the Bronx for a quick 2 game series, but the bigger picture is more about who the Braves are playing.

In what looks like the worst loss of the season, Jacob deGrom "struggle", the offense and defense is no help and the Mets lose 3 of 4 to the Braves in a head scratching series. Injuries are mounting, Noah Syndergaard is bowing out, but on a positive note the Mets are forced to call up Brett Baty. Email topics or comments to TheRicoB@gmail.com

Jacob deGrom didn't have his best stuff, but the defense and offense did not help him in anyway in what is looking like the worst loss of the season.

Injuries a plenty to the Mets pitching staff, how does this impact the rotation going forward, most notably verse the Phillies. Speaking of Phillies, Noah Syndergaard is taking an extra day rest so he doesn't have to face the Mets. Interesting.

Reluctantly the New York Mets made the call to bring up Brett Baty and on his first pitch he swung at the prospect went yard with his family watching from the stands. Who wasn't crying????

Evan Roberts may be on vacation, but that won't stop him from watching his favorite team and favorite players pitch. Evan teaches you how to navigate a vacation around Jacob deGrom, and a big three game series verse the Phillies. Email topics or comments to TheRicoB@gmail.com

Evan is on vacation, which means he's relaxing on a beautiful beach while talking Mets of course.

We know that Evan can't get away from watching the Mets while he's on vacation. When big Jake get's on the mound it's even more of a thing. Evan navigates how he works his vacation into watching a Jacob deGrom start.

Luis Guillorme may possibly hit the IL which leads to the question, who will take his spot. Is their a call-up in the near future?

The New York Mets crush the Reds in an easy sweep, Francisco Lindor is setting records in a Mets uniform at shortstop, is this the best team Evan has ever seen in is lifetime, and are the 2006 New York Mets overrated? Email topics or comments to TheRicoB@gmail.com
