Episode 125: The ever-streaking New York Mets Jun 30, 2015

Show notes

Jeff is out of town, which means "Podcast Positivity" is back. The Mets have won four games in a row, which is a nice way to rebound from a seven-game losing streak. Greg and I talk about the good times, the Mets' excellent stretch of pitching by young starters, and the nearly-complete lack of offense. We delve into Michael Cuddyer's brutal stretch ever since I purchased a Cuddyer shirsey, Jon Niese's trade value, and plenty more before turning it over to Jeff for an audio update on what he saw in Kingsport—we're calling that the Kingsport Report. And then we return to answer your emails and go off on a few other tangents.

Episode 124: If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Jun 23, 2015

Show notes

in the "Podcast Positivity is over" edition, apathy may be starting to descend on the podcast. Jeffrey and Aaron do their best to soldier through, covering the recent (bad) news. There's more bad news with Marc Carig of Newday. Then we answer your e-mails about Michael Conforto (getting better), the Mets shortstop situation (not getting better), scouting the stat line (okay, now you have Jeffrey's attention), and the Yankees (#blameBeltran). Jeffrey can't even summon much enthusiasm for the IFK Goteborg update (although he does probably butcher Eastern European football team names).

Episode 123: Podcast Positivity Jun 17, 2015

Show notes

In the "Steve Schreiber stole our opening question" edition, Jeffrey and Greg deal with some constructive feedback from the listeners with some constructive feedback for the Mets. More Jacob deGrom and Travis d'Arnaud, less Wilmer Flores at shortstop and bench at-bats for starters. Next we discuss the Dillon Gee DFA and Jeffrey's (last?!) trip to Binghamton. Then it is time for your e-mails on bourbon, the Mets first round pick, the low offensive environement, and (sigh) a potential Daniel Murphy extension. Finally, we wrap things up with Jeffrey grousing about the goings on in South Yorkshire.

Episode 122: Not exactly a slow news week Jun 08, 2015

Show notes

In the "First place Mets are in first place" edition, Chris and Jeffrey have a lot of news to cover. The Mets need a new third baseman, maybe. The Mets rotation is no longer six pitchers long, definitely. Players are coming off the DL, probably. Also, Jeffrey got lost in a state park. That is relevant somehow. Next, Chris talks to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com about these stories and more. Then, we answer your e-mails and Chris' computer craps the bed, so Jeffrey has to do the IFK Goteborg update (with a bonus Sheffield Wednesday update) all by his lonesome. Eventually the Mets will make a draft pick too, but not before we finish (though likely before you listen to this).

Episode 121: 2015 "Draft" "Preview" Jun 05, 2015

Show notes

In the, "Uh, I guess we should probably do a draft preview edition," Jeffrey and Alex realize the draft is on Monday. (Well Jeffrey, Alex probably knew that all along). The Mets don't have a first round pick, but that doesn't stop us from wildly flailing around trying to figure out what they might (and also shouldn't) do. We also review the 2010 draft class, read aloud from the Amazin' Avenue Annual, and briefly forget about Jacob deGrom (again, Jeffrey).

Episode 120: Too many e-mails (too many e-mails) Jun 02, 2015

Show notes

In the "Greg Karam came back withe Miller Lite tallboys" edition, Jeffrey and Steve (but not Greg) have a lot of e-mails to answer, so answer them we do. We cover all your trade scenarios (and a few TRAID scenarios), consider the Mets infield alignment, ponder Lucas Duda's platoon splits, and Jeffrey gets cranky about scouty stuff. We also await our robot ump overlords and pick our favorite non-Met baseball teams. Then it is time for an IFK Goteborg update and a bit too much pro wrestling talk probably.

Episode 119: #RIP2015Mets May 25, 2015

Show notes

In the "David Wright has gone to live with a nice family at a farm upstate" edition, things are looking a little blue at AA Audio HQ. We soldier on though, and Bryan, Steve, and Jeffrey have some thoughts on a Wrightless future, a six-man rotation, and Terry Collins' job security. Then we answer your e-mails and Jeffrey and Steve get sucked down multiple pro wrestling alleyways. We do find time to discuss Kevin Plawecki's struggles, debate how good Jose Bautista is at baseball, and pour one out for Cesar Puello, wherever he is.

Episode 118: The Savannah Sand Gnats and cold bats, v.2015 May 19, 2015

Show notes

In the "Sympathy for the Marlins?" edition, Steve, Aaron, and Jeffrey take on the chaos in Miami, the ontology of Noah Syndergaard's breaking ball, and where the heck the 2015 Mets are going to find some more offense (HELLO HELLO MR ALDERSON ITS CARLOS GOMEZ). Next Toby Hyde of Mets Minor League Blog joins the show to discuss this year's edition of the Savannah Sand Gnats, but we mostly just swap Luis Guillorme doing crazy things at shortstop stories. Finaly we wrap things up with a whole lot of book recommendations and the podcast triumphantly lifts a trophy

Episode 117: Thor and more (Also, Moore) May 14, 2015

Show notes

In the "Ragnarok >>>>> Thorsday" edition, Steve and Jeffrey just get thrown out there to see if they can podcast. Sio we tapdance a bit on Noah Syndergaard's debut (mostly because Steve was at an ROH show), and discuss what might possibly be the matter with Jacob deGrom. Next, because the show wasn't going to run long enough as it was, we go over your twitter topic suggestions, so get ready for a lot of pro wrestling, and some complaining about Terry Collins. Then, Jeff Moore from Baseball Prospectus joins the show to talk about the Mets prospects of note in St. Lucie (mostly just Robert Gsellman). Finally, we wrap things up with your e-mails and an extended Svenska Cupen final preview. Come on you blue and white angels!

Episode 116: Well it could be (and has been) worse May 07, 2015

Show notes

In the "Not the Mercury Mets" edition, Jeffrey and Bryan take stock of the 2015 Mets after a bad week. But hey, the Mets are still in first place, so we can't get too down, right? On the other hand, we have to discuss the Mets defense again. Then, Jeffrey gets annoyed about the service time manipulation around Noah Syndergaard and Steven Matz, again. Then it is time for your e-mails. Jeffrey finally addresses the Jenrry Mejia thing, and the podcast quickly goes off the rails. We get back on track after a certain popular jingle and wrap things up with a pro wrestling e-mail. Sounds about right.
