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 thrilling end to the Mets’ season and what candidates could be acceptable Mickey Callaway replacements.

Next, we talk about how some of what made the Mets fun this year was that they actually tried to win and more teams should do that.

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.

UnforMETable, Episode 27: Duaner Sanchez Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

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. It really helps! And you can find us on the Stitcher app, or listen wherever you get podcasts.

Show notes

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.

First up, Brian and Chris discuss the end of the Mets’s season in real time, as the Brewers defeated the Reds to clinch the second Wild Card spot. A discussion of what a ‘successful’ season means ensues, as does a look ahead to next season’s roster construction for what is likely the first of 20+ times.

Next, they discuss the (hopeful) end of the Mickey Callaway era, and look back at what has been a truly disastrous season from the Mets’ skipper.

Finally, the boys have a discussion of Pete Alonso’s likely Rookie of the Year and Jacob deGrom’s hopeful CyYoung Season, and talk about how both players are truly at the top of their games, and how fun that is to see.

Chris’s Music Pick:

The Claypool Lennon Delirium - Lime and Limpid Green

Brian’s Music Pick:

Oliver Messiaen - Quartet for the End of Time

Show notes

This week, we come into your feeds with a live episode from Mikkeller at Citi Field where we express our unending gratitude to our generous listeners and friends for a successful #Dollars4Dingers fundraiser. We also talk about Jacob deGrom’s likely repeat of the Cy Young Award, Pete Alonso’s Rookie of the Year season, and get input from fellow members of the Amazin’ Avenue community about what they would like to see the Mets prioritize in the offseason.

We then wrap things up like we always do with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise. (This week all of our co-hosts have a very unsurprising joint Walk-off Win.)

UnforMETable, Episode 26: Doug Flynn Sep 24, 2019

Show notes

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

Doug Flynn spent the first two years of his major league career as a member of one of the greatest teams in history—Cincinnati’s Big Red Machine of 1975-76.

With the late-70s Mets flailing and feuding with their biggest star, Flynn would come to the Mets as a piece in one of the most infamous trades in Mets’ history—the Midnight Massacre that saw Tom Seaver sent away from the franchise.

After a rocky beginning, Flynn settled in as a light-hitting middle infielder with an impressive glove. Flynn was a favorite of both manger Joe Torre and the fans for a moribund franchise, and in 1980 became only the third player in team history to take home a Gold Glove for his work at second base.

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

Show notes

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

First, Steve and Ken discuss who would be a fit in Middle Earth in a Hobbit-inspired Promote, Extend, Trade.

Next, they go over the basics of the Arizona Fall League, who is playing, and what we want to see from them.
