Home Run Applesauce: A New York Mets podcast

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.  After a few weeks without a podcast, Brian and Chris discuss how the Mets seem like they’re no closer to having a manager, and how the same people seem to be getting interviewed over and over again. Next up, the World Series is discussed, and how both hosts are reluctantly rooting for the Astros. Also, this will not matter by the time you hear the show.

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 by discussing the latest in the Mets’ managerial search—the remaining candidates and the apparent lack of an overall organizational philosophy guiding the Mets’ quest for a new manager. Next, we cover the Brandon Taubman incident, the PR disaster that followed, and the persistent cultural problems that permeate the entire league.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past. Kevin Bass came to the Mets in the summer of 1992, as New York tried to stoke the flaming embers of a near dynastic run and make a desperate playoff push. Bass’s most indelible tie to the franchise, though, was at the apex of the mid 80’s Mets run. As an All Star right fielder for the 1986 Houston Astros, Bass represented a formidable piece of the opposition’s offense in the 1986 National League Championship. And he came to the plate against Jesse Orosco for one of the most memorable at bats in Mets history As always, you can listen or subscribe to this and all of our wonderful Amazin’ Avenue Audio podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. First up, Chris and Brian reflect on Mickey Callaway’s two-season tenure as Mets’ manager, and talk about some of the particular low lights of his tenure. Then, in the midst of discussing potential candidates - including Carlos Beltran, Joe Girardi, Robin Ventura, Mike Metheny, Clint Hurdle and more - Chris lands on a galaxy brain idea that every front office should legitimately implement. And, finally, we try to nail down the one quality we really want in a Mets manager.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past. With a strong team headed towards a second straight playoff appearance for the first time in franchise history, the Mets made a minor move to bolster their depth prior to the 2000 trade deadline, acquiring relief pitcher Rick White from Tampa Bay, along with outfielder Bubba Trammell.  The journeyman righthander would go on to pitch two crucial innings in the Mets’ 2000 National League Division Series battle with the San Francisco Giants, setting up one of the most memorable moments in team playoff history—Benny Agbayani’s walk-off home run to win Game 3 in the 13th inning.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past.  Coming off a season a bit like 2019, with a promising young core that threatened but missed the playoffs, Omar Minaya entered the 2005 offseason intent on bolstering one of that season’s great weaknesses—the bullpen.    Along with signing closer Billy Wagner, Minaya engineered a trade for promising Dodgers set-up man Duaner Sanchez. The righthander was dynamic in the eighth inning, providing a stabilizing bullpen presence for a team cruising to the 2006 National League Eastern Division title. Until a fateful cab ride in Florida just prior to the deadline in July 2006 derailed Sanchez’s career—and one can only wonder how it altered the course of the Mets’ 2006 postseason.  As always, you can listen or subscribe to this and all of our wonderful Amazin’ Avenue Audio podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.
