HOW YA FEELING METS FANS??? The past two weeks have alternated between thrilling and crushing as the roller coaster ride of the 2024 season continued. In fact, as the season dwindled to a close, that roller coaster sped up, spun around some, and the brakes failed. It all led up to yesterday's unprecedented doubleheader and my GOODNESS what an ending. You might know that the Mets made the playoffs. You might not quite know how.

The Mets have a chance to accomplish something that should have been impossible. By going 17-7 since our last episode, the Amazin's are in the 3rd Wild Card spot in the NL but may have their sights on a larger prize. Tonight is the first of 7 games in 10 days against division-leading Philadelphia who currently sit 8 games ahead of the Mets in the standings with 16 games left to play in the season. Is it possible that these streaking, improbable, immaculate-vibes Mets could take down the divis...
Hey Baseball Fans, we are back to talk about a Mets team that finds itself in a Playoff chase. The wild swings of earlier in the season seem to be behind this team as we have seen much more consistent baseball of late. That doesn't make anything less wild though as we are deep in the midst of a Wild Card race. After a grueling 10-game/4-city/3-time-zone trip, the Mets are back at home trying to stave off a bunch of teams that don't seem to lose. Every game matters, and buckle up because there...
It's been a while since we really checked in on the Yankees and we bring our old friend Duanny B back to talk all things pinstripes. This...would have been a very different episode a month ago. While the Bronx Bombers have had a fantastic first half, the cracks are quickly beginning to show and it has our Yankees experts tearing his hair out. Are the Yankees set for another disappointing second half and an also-ran playoff run or will this year be different than the last two? We give you the ...
Sooo we missed a lot on our break. I took off on a plane to Europe and apparently missed a lot. Talk about best of times/worst of times! The Mets were "the worst f'in team in the whole MLB" and then Grimace blessed the team with instant greatness and now I just don't know what to think. What is this team? We try our best to catch you up over the last month plus starting with how bad things were, how improbably great they became, and what to expect going forward. Tune in to find out the b...
Welp this has not been a good week for the Mets by any stretch of the imagination. Playing against two divisional rivals, the squad was barely able to avoid sweeps in each series. Pitching hasn't been great, Edwin Diaz has been struggling, but it's the offense that has been just awful. It's another streak in a season full of them leaving us to wonder what this team truly is. After breaking down all of that dreck, we highlight a few players around the league having either really good or really...
May rolls in with another week of highs and lows for the Mets. We break down the split against the Cubs starting with the controversial Pete Alonso play at home, then move on to the dreadful performance against the Rays before talking about a promising pair of games against the Cardinals. Christian Scott's debut, the continued resurgence of Francisco Lindor, and hopefully a slump-busting performance from Alonso have us looking up just in time for a big set of divisional series. Plus it's the ...
The Nephews are back to break down this week in Mets land. It's been more bad than good, however with some very exciting highlights including the debut of J.D. Martinez and a pair of brilliant and sorely needed starting pitching performances. We discuss what this rotation may look like in the near future as Tylor Megill, David Peterson, and Kodai Senga are all getting healthy quickly. Finally we take a healthy trip around the majors with an in-depth look at the current standings vs our presea...
We've been looking forward to this episode for a long time as Mets legend Dwight Gooden was good enough to take some time for an interview with us after a very busy week. At the end of a lengthy meet and greet at Murphy's Bar in Astoria, Dr. K was gracious enough to hang around a little longer for a pair of knuckleheads with a microphone. It also helps that the Mets had an outstanding week! Come for the Doc Gooden interview, stay for the breakdown of the Pirates sweep and surprising series vi...
April is a weird baseball month. Last week the Mets looked like a 70 win team, now they look dangerous! We break down the squad taking the first series against the vaunted Braves including a game that could be remembered as a season defining win. From there we recap the Royals and look forward to the Pirates and Dodgers series. We're only a few days away from Doc Gooden's appearance at Murphy's Bar in Astoria! Friday, April 19th from 7-9pm, be there or be square!
The Mets have stumbled out of the gate, then stepped on a rake, and then stepped in dog doo. It was an abysmal start to the year for the squad, but there are some bright spots and maybe even some signs of life. We break down the struggles as well as the silver linings including a nice first turn through the rotation and nice performances from Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez. From there we spin around the league and discuss another year's worth of devastating pitching injuries. Enjoy!
After a long hiatus The Nephews are finally back to preview the 2024 Mets squad! It's been a long time since we joined you but we are back just in time. There are a lot of new faces and one in particular has us pumped for the season! We also cover the massive story that has baseball's $700 million man in some hot water as well as give our picks for the major awards. Check us out on social media @nephewspod for those picks as well. Also in the episode is a major announcement. Enjoy!
That's a wrap on the division series and here come the fight for the pennants! Sweet Baby J and I bring you analysis of all the happenings of the 5 game sets including surprising sweeps, big time dingers, and a team and fan base that is almost too soft to believe. We also preview next week in baseball as the chase for the World Series is down to 4 teams. Enjoy!
We're back in the saddle again bringing you some October Baseball analysis! 4 sweeps in the Wild Card series were a bit disappointing but they set up some bomb looking series in the Divisional round. Sweet Baby J and I break it all down for you as well as touching on another Mets GM scandal. We just cannot stay out of the news. But the focus here is on the playoffs and getting you set up with all of the tasty do-or-die matchups! We hope you enjoy!
It's been a while baseball fans but we couldn't stay away forever. We bring you this episode from baseball's final regular season day! Plenty of Mets talk to be had with David Stearns getting the job to run the ship and the fresh news of Buck Showalter's departure. Spoiler alert: there are bright times ahead. From there we dive into the Wild Card round! We break down all 8 teams in the 4 short series and fill out our playoff brackets. You will not believe who Sweet Baby J has in the World Ser...
We are back and it's a full house on this episode! We start by explaining the reason that the Mets are tanking, move on to talk about just how bad it is in the Bronx, and then we finally turn our attention to the teams that are actually winning games this year. We break down the playoff contenders by tier and tell you who we think is for real, who is for show, and who would be fun. Enjoy!
There was a ton that went down during last week's trade deadline. Good teams adding, bad teams selling, the Yankees not doing anything, and the Mets just absolutely tanking. It took us a couple of days to get our emotions in check to talk reasonably and even longer to edit our marathon recap session but it is finally here! We start with the Mets of course and the new and saddening direction that the front office has taken, but then we cover the whole damn deadline. So many teams maneuvering t...
Hey baseball fans, it's trade season! The Nephews are back to cover all of your trade deadline questions. From buyers to sellers, big deals and small there is sure to be a lot of action in the coming days. As for the Mets, we last told you they needed to go 12-3 or 13-2 coming out of the break and...they haven't. Sometimes it's better to accept that a season won't end in a playoff run and then you can enjoy the games again! We each give some predictions here and some of them are humdingers! B...
It's stretch time for the baseball season and we break down the state of the league starting with our Mets. Spoiler alert: it's going to be an uphill climb. The Mets did have an exciting week and a 6 game winning streak, but lost the disappointment-bowl to the Padres and, well, one of us is already out. How many games are they allowed to lose before the calendar turns to August? The answer is inside. Be sure to check out our IG @nephewspod as well as our friends @sheahello and enjoy!
We are officially through the halfway point of the season and it is just not looking great for either New York club. We have been quoting Yogi Berra and saying "it's getting late early" for a while now, well it's late. Is there hope on the horizon? We chop up what is left in this Mets season. We also welcome Duanny B back on the show for the first time in a while and talk about some Yanks! Spoiler alert: they're not as good as their record, but perfect games are cool! It's the first tim...
