Home Run Applesauce: A New York Mets podcast

In our Game 3 NLDS wrap-up, Jeffrey and Chris take time out of the Mets blowout to chat about pacing your boos, America's favorite shortstops, and big dongs. We also get serenaded by exuberant (and possibly inebriated) Mets fans belting out Bily Joel. It's all in a day's work on Amazin' Avenue Audio. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeffrey and Steve discuss Game 2 of the NLDS and some have some very harsh words for Chase Utley. Parental discretion is advised. We probably should have also talked about Syndergaard's start, and the bullpen managenment in the seventh inning, and the Mets recent offensive struggles, but any and all of that would be burying the lead here.  Learn more about your ad choices.

These podcasts after every Mets playoff game were a better idea before the 9:45 announced first pitch, but Jeffrey and Greg brave sleep deprivation, jet lag, and not enough coffee to bring you a podcast recap of the Mets Game One win over the Dodgers in Los Angeles. We discuss the greatest magic trick Michael Cuddyer ever pulled, Jacob deGrom's dominant start, the unfailing entropy of Daniel Murphy, and compare David Wright to what is probably your favorite movie (but not Jeffrey's). We also preview Game Two before sending Greg off for a much-needed nap. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Episode 142 of Amazin' Avenue Audio, the crew has discovered the meaning of the universe, and it is the Mets in the playoffs! Greg and Jeffrey look back on their favorite Mets from 2015 and forward to how we are feeling about the Dodgers series (Greg is optimistic, Jeffrey pessimistic, F###n shocker as Billy Wagner would say). Next, David J. Roth of Vice Sports is here to discuss...the 2001 Diamondbacks baseball-reference page? Ichiro pitching? Eventually we get to the Mets as well. This kind of stuff tends to happen when he stops by. Then, Mike Vorkunov of the Star-Ledger gives Chris McShane some insight into the Mets roster machinations on the eve of their first playoff series in nine years. Finally, Mike Ferrin XM of Sirius joins us from somewhere on I-78 to shovel a little dirt on the Nationals grave and ponder how the Mets might fare against Kershaw and Greinke.

In Episode 140 of Amazin' Avenue Audio, Jeffrey and Greg are back in studio to discuss the Mets recent offensive woes, the Blue and White Wizards recent League Cup victory, Jeffrey's gambling woes, our collective mental state, and of course to answer all your e-mails that have piled up over the last two weeks.

In a special live edition from PitchTalks at Katch Brewery in Astoria, Queens, Jeffrey and Greg are joined by special guests Toby Hyde of the Mostly Mets Podcast and Maggie Wiggin of MetsBlog. We discuss Mets TV crossovers, what we missed on Michael Conforto, if Steven Matz is a "big game pitcher" (there are children in the audience), and whether Kevin Plawecki and Dilson Herrera have roles on the 2016 Mets. Then we take live audience questions on future Mets shortstops (no live jingle this time), the next exciting Mets pitching prospect (ummmm), and what the Mets need to accomplish in the subway series before ending the show with some much needed catharsis.

In the "Yoenis Cespedes is probably not the NL MVP but he is the MVP of our hearts" edition, Jeffrey and Steve try to make sense of the Mets sweep of the Nationals. Failing that, they babble incoherently about Yoenis Cespedes and answer e-mails about Dillon Gee and Eric Young jr, because BartYOLO.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the "Well, guess we are re-recording on Saturday" edition, Jeffrey and Steve discuss the sound and fury around Matt Harvey's innings limit, and then a probably anti-climactic bit about the Brooklyn Cyclones, because Jeffrey saw them this week. Next, Chris talks to Marc Carig of Newsday about the Mets hot August and what the future may hold for the 2015 Mets. Nothing about Matt Harvey though, because that was recorded on Thursday. Then, Joe Sheehan of Sports Illustrated is here to discuss if the Mets are actually good, if it matters, and why the Nats haven't been good. There is some more Matt Harvey talk here too. Finally we wrap up with your e-mails, and a brief IFK Goteborg update. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the "We will probably not do an e-mail show ever again" edition, Jeffrey and Steve answer seventeen of your e-mails. There's a bullpen tryptich, a duo of Matt Harvey, and we officially end our hiatus from discussing Daniel Murphy's contract status. Oh, there's also a trilogy of Wilmer Flores questions, a prospect pronunciation guide, an anecdote about Jeffrey's college pro wrestling days, and of course, a query about an obsccure short-season player. The Mets also made a trade, so I guess we have to talk about that too. Sigh.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the "Mostly hypothetical discussion" edition, Jeffrey and Chris discuss what Mets they would like to have a late night snack with, try to figure out what is going on with the Mets offense (and for the first time in the podcast's history, the incredulity is positive!), revel in the Summer of Flores, consider the near-term futures of Logan Verrett and Noah Syndergaard, and question the Nationals current PR strategy. Normally we would answer your e-mails next, but there are too many, and Jeffrey has no internet set up in his new apartment. So instead we just wrap things up with an IFK Goteborg update. (We will be back this weekend for all of your e-mails, which are now stretching into the double digits). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the "The return of the LOLpen" edition, Jeffrey and Greg repatriate to Panic City as we discuss the Mets recent bullpen issues, upcoming rotation "issues," and a host of other topics helpfully sent in by our listeners and not in any way curated by us. You will be happy to know that there is zero wrestling talk apparently, and that IFK Goteborg is still top of the Allsvenskenliga, since no one every complains about the Swedish soccer talk.

In the "Let's all agree to not make the Rallykeet happen" edition, Jeffrey and Steve planned a nice, short, podcast. Then we ended up perusing Atlantic League statistical leaders. Before that though, we check in with Steven Matz and David Wright's rehab and marvel at Jeurys Familia's new change-up. Next, Mike Ferrin, host of MLB Power Alley on SiriusXM comes on the show to discuss the Nationals 2015 woes and if they can pull it together down the stretch. Then, we head to your e-mails which is just an endless series of digressions mixed in with some very big talk about Luis Carpio. Finally, Jeffrey is happy about one soccer team, concerned about another, and coming on your podcast probably. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the "Yoenis Cespedes is gritty" edition, Jeffrey and Greg are in good moods about the Mets. That makes two straight weeks for Jeffrey and is a podcast record. We wonder if it is playoffs or bust now, and who might help (Yoenis Cespedes) or hurt (the bullpen) those aspirations. Next we do a quick minor league news round-up, mostly so we can talk about glow-in-the-dark hats. Then it is onto your e-mails. It's a light week, only eight e-mails, and only two with pro wrestling content. Finally it's a whole bunch of soccer updates, a plug for our next live show, and a possible farewell to an Amazin' Avenue Audio icon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the "Wilmer Flores punches his ticket to Cooperstown" edition, Jeffrey and Steve cover one of the wildest weeks in recent Mets history. There are trades, almost trades, crying over the Mets from fans and players, walkoffs, blown saves, torrential rain, pure misery, and Dionysian revelry. You know, the usual. We also answer eleven of your e-mails.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
