Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.  First up this week, Brian and Chris discuss the upcoming change in ownership, and the various aspects of that deal, including some wishful thinking and some, perhaps, some reluctance to acknowledge that the deal might not happen or, at very least, take a long time to work. Next up, we discuss some of the Mets’ that fans didn’t acknowledge for their greatness at the time, and transition that into a discussion of the Mets’ new coaching staff. We then discuss the trade for Jake Marisnick, and try to understand the seeming anger from certain corners of the fanbase over this trade. Finally, we discuss the departure of Zack Wheeler, and the various aspects of this departure, from the price tag, to the avoidance of a trade at the deadline, to the lack of an extension a few years ago.

 UnforMETable, Episode 31: Bill Pecota | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1581

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past. Before Nate Silver borrowed his last name as an acronym for his baseball projection system, Bill Pecota was the quintessential utility player. He moved between AAA and the majors for the Royals so often, his teammates nicknamed him “I-29” after the interstate between Omaha and Kansas City. Pecota was coming off a career year in 1991, when the Mets were looking to salvage some last glory days out of a 1980s near-dynasty running on fumes. He came to the Mets as a piece in a huge trade for Bret Saberhagen and—like the Mets franchise—had an incredibly disappointing 1992 season. Though he did manage to make a footnote in Mets history as the first position player to ever toe the rubber.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast from Amazin’ Avenue focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. First, inspired by Steve’s love of Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia, the team ranks what 2019 West Virginia Power players they’d want in the Mets minor league system in Promote, Extend, Trade. After, Steve, Lukas, and Kenny look at some of the more interesting names that played in the Dominican Summer League and/or Gulf Coast League in 2019.

 A Pod of Their Own, Episode 32: Weird Balls | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 6672

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  This week, we begin with a look at the surprisingly appealing new additions to the Mets coaching staff and share our thoughts on early Mets trade rumors. Then, we welcome back Friend of the Show Dr. Meredith Wills, whose latest piece for The Athletic is a continuation of her incredible work on the construction of the juiced baseballs, this time looking at the truly baffling situation with the baseballs in the 2019 postseason. There is other great reading on this topic from Rob Arthur in Baseball Prospectus, where he first observed that the postseason baseball was dejuiced...and then maybe that it wasn’t, and also from Katie Strang in The Athletic, where she follows a thread unearthed by Dr. Wills that calls into question some of Rawlings’ messaging. We also take a step back to consider how this fits in with the sign-stealing scandal and other threats to baseball’s integrity. And lastly, in what might be baseball’s biggest threat yet, Dr. Wills leads us in an impassioned plea to MLB to save our minor league teams from extinction, a topic our very own Allison McCague has written about in this recent must-read from Baseball Prospectus. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise. And if you missed her the first time around, or just want to refresh your memory of one of our best interviews yet, check out Dr. Wills’s APOTO debut from this past April.

First, inspired by the formation of the Texas Rangers, the team looks at past trades the two teams have had between each other in Promote, Extend, Trade. Next, they review the 2019 Syracuse Mets season. It was a long journey getting to Syracuse after a strong, stable relationship with the Tidewater/Norfolk Tides for almost 40 years. Their inaugural Syracuse Mets season ended in heartbreak, but overall, it was a strong year. After, the team analyzes all of the minor league free agents that were signed to fill out the Syracuse roster and discuss who they’d like to see back for the 2020 season.

 From Complex to Queens, Episode 34: An ode to the 2019 Binghamton Rumble Ponies | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 4181

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast from Amazin’ Avenue focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. First, inspired by the Expanded Universe contributions that the Star Wars Holiday Special gave us, the team discusses what Mets players autocorrect would have a field day with in Promote, Extend, Trade.

After, Steve chats with John Trupin and the two discuss the city of Binghamton and the attendance issues that the Rumble Ponies (and B-Mets before them) struggled with.

 UnforMETable, Episode 30: Randy Niemann | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1570

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past. Randy Niemann was a well-regarded prospect who made a sensational debut with the Astros in 1979 before his struggles and some ensuing arm injuries derailed his career. Signed by the Mets in 1985, the lefty made his debut for New York in September of that season before earning a place in the back of the bullpen for the mighty 1986 team. Niemann was not a huge contributor to that team during the regular season—nor did he make an appearance in the team’s stirring run to the World Series title—but that didn’t mean that he wouldn’t participate in post game celebrations. Much to the chagrin of a certain bow-tie favoring team executive.

Then, we discuss the Astros sign-stealing scandal and Gabe Kapler getting yet another baseball job, despite his nefarious conduct when he was with the Dodgers.
