We talked some uniform number switching tonight. We talked some streaming, watching old games, ESPN classic, and how to solve SNY.

We mostly ignored the Mets debacle in Baltimore.

We talked stout a bit, prompted by Botty. I referred to this Barley Prose post about the Darkest Beers.

Mets On Tap Episode 10

We talked a bit about uniform numbers.  Do YOU know who’s currently wearing number 10? Yeah, didn’t think so.

Some lavish praise of Jacob deGrom and all the fun statistics we’ve seen about him, as well as this Pitching Ninja overlay of his slider/fastball to Domingo Leyba.

We also discuss some ‘old man yells at cloud’ stuff, mostly the stupid new rules MLB has, and the advertising on the back of the mound. Prompted by the discussion of Wednesday’s game being on YouTube, and not SNY.

Brief mention of LearnedLeague, a competitive trivia league we’re all in.

Mets On Tap Episode 9

You can email us questions, comments, and beer recs at podcast@barleyprose.com.

Today we talked a lot about the ballpark experience, as all three of us had recently visited minor or major league parks. Michael imparts knowledge about Citi Field and the beer selection, which might actually be better in the minors. Hop Valley’s Bubble Stash was the Coors owned product Michael kept butchering.  There was also plenty of hard seltzer at the ballpark.

There was some talk of bullpens, of offense or lack thereof, and of the games this week.

We briefly got into it about whether or not replay is about reviewing when a base stealer slightly comes off the bag, but we ran out of time to really dig in deep. More to come on that for sure.

Beers

  • Jason:New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Xperimental IPA #3
  • Chris:  City Roots Original Dry Cider
  • Michael: MAD Brewery Brown Ale (homebrew)
  • Botty: Booze Brewery’s Gose

Happy podcast with a Mets win, where we also touch on the bullpen game, fair territory seats, and injuries. Too many injuries.

We ponder some on where rehab assignments are going to take play for guys like Syndergaard and Carrasco, a little talk of jerseys and how expensive they are, and tease a live recording spot when Michael attends his first Mets game in nearly two years on Monday.

Mets On Tap Episode E7

This would’ve been episode 7 of Mets On Tap, but instead it’s an apology from Michael that he forgot to hit record. BOOOO.

There was a lot of fun tonight, I think we really started getting the hang of this. We talked about the Mets game in progress, Donnie and Chili, the Opener, peach beers, announcers and the camera people needing to get their vaccines.

Alas.

Beers

Michael: Alementary Mr Stevens (head of catering on the Death Star)

Chris: K2 Brothers Lemonade Cookie Sour IPA

Jason: Ommegang Apripêche

Botty: Los Osos Huckleberry Wheat by the Firestone Walker Brewing Company

Mets On Tap Episode 4

On tap today is Michael, Chris and Jason talking about beer, local breweries, about beer at minor league stadiums and at Citi Field.  We also touch on rule changes, Shohei Ohtani and the DH.

We recorded this during as the last few innings of Wednesday night’s Mets Phillies game became outings, and talked a little bit about what was going on live, which included some nice insurance runs, and of course plenty of Brandon Nimmo love.

Michael brought up blaseball.com, to Jason and Chris’ confusion, but don’t worry it’s insane and worth checking out. Go Hellmouth Sunbeams! Stare into the sun!

Beers:

Michael: Troegs Lollihop

Chris: Battle Street Hoppy Conductor NEIPA

Jason: Saranac Always Hazy Peach IPA

Mets On Tap Episode 3

Why was the first player I thought of with number 3 Damien Easley? I digress..

Michael, Chris and Jason discuss the Mets so far, just after the LOB debacle Wednesday afternoon.  There’s some mind-boggling at Luis Rojas, some discussion of Opening Day attendence rituals, and some Shea Stadium talk too.

This is the Thin Mint/Thick Mint post Michael referenced.

We again mention low calorie IPAs, beers at the ballpark, and a few other things. Give it a listen!

  • Jason: Southern Tier 2x IPA
