Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.

First up this week, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas review the Mets’ Arizona Fall League contingent and how they did in this third week of the AFL season.

Next, the guys go over some minor news related to the 2023 season and the 2023 MLB Draft.

After, they share their thoughts about the 2022 Binghamton Rumble Ponies season. Expectations were somewhat high coming into the season, but the team did not come anywhere close to living up to what we all thought they might’ve been able to do.

A Pod of Their Own, Episode 144: The Playoff Format is Fine Oct 19, 2022

Show notes

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 Mets’ unfortunate early exit from the playoffs. We also talk about the long list of impending free agents and who may be the highest priority to retain.

Next, we do Playoff Format Discourse and posit that 100-win teams should simply play better if they do not want to be eliminated.

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.

From Complex To Queens, Episode 191: How are we feeling folks? Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.

Steve isn’t here and there’s nothing really going on on the minor league side right now (we’ll dissect the AFL next week). With our usual guide rails not present, Ken, Thomas, and Lukas simply complain about Buck’s bad managing, lament the health status of the Mets’ top two arms, pontificate on whether this is a disappointing season or not, and question why Francisco Alvarez isn’t getting more playing time.

Until next week, #lovethemets #lovethemets!

UnforMETable, Episode 98: George Stone Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past.

George Stone was a two-sport star in college, ultimately choosing baseball over basketball. A promising young left-handed pitcher, he made his MLB debut at the age of 21 with Atlanta, and was a key cog in the rotation of the 1969 Braves, who would fall to the Mets in the inaugural National League Championship Series that year.

Stone would struggle with arm problems before getting traded to the Mets in the 1972 offseason with Felix Millan. Seen by many as a throw-in with the All-Star second baseman, Stone had an incredible 1973 for the Mets, going 12-3 and winning 4 games in their amazin’ September run to the pennant.

Slated to start Game 6 of the World Series with the Mets up 3 games to 2 on the mighty A’s, Stone was bypassed for Tom Seaver and Jon Matlack on three days’ rest each—a fateful “What If” 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. It really helps! And you can find us on the Stitcher app, or listen wherever you get podcasts.

If you’ve got an idea for a player to be featured on UnforMETable, let us know in the comments.

Make sure to follow Rob on Twitter (@WolffRR), and you can now follow the show, too (@unformetable). Tune in next week for another tale from the Mets’ past.

From Complex To Queens, Episode 190: Reviewing our predictions Oct 02, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.

The Mets and the Braves depress the guys too much for a Promote, Extend, Trade topic this week, so they talk about the end of the 2022 minor league season and some of the standouts.

After, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas review their pre-season predictions for the 2022 season made back in last March. Some were accurate. Some were accurate (kinda). Some were about as accurate as Rick Ankiel in the 2000 playoffs.

Until next week, #lovethemets #lovethemets!
