Mets On Tap Episode 83 – OMGee That Was Fun

Michael Jake and Jason discuss the end of the Mets season, the wall they hit, NLCS strategy, wondering where Ben Gamel was, and the beers we had along the way.

We discuss hoping the Yankees lose, our favorite Mets gimmicks of the season, and giving a billion dollars to Juan Soto. You heard it here first: $1b over 16 years. Get it done Steve.

That’s a wrap on 2024. We’ll be only recording sporadically until Spring Training, until then..

Mets On Tap Episode 80 – Energetic Mets Playoff Wins

Michael and Jason talk about the thrilling Mets clincher game, some games it reminded us, and how fun it is to watch these Mets play with such intensity and emotion.

We ponder long layoffs, and what that could mean for the Dodgers and Phillies, and how we probably prefer an AL team to a non-Mets NL team.

But mostly we just enjoy the Mets, and Botty McBotface’s upgrades.

Let us know what beer you’re having with the rest of the Wild Card round, or what you’re toasting the NLDS with.

Mets On Tap Episode 58, The Second Inning Exit

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

Michael and Jason talk pitcher injuries, the lineup, and Brett Baty. We muse about how the Mets are handling injuries, who’s going to be available to pitch in October and perhaps some creative ways to deploy them.

We talk about beers, Citi Field, and the brewery at the Brooklyn Cyclones stadium, Maimonides Park. Coney Island Brewery is actually owned by Boston Beer Company now. They’ve been around a while though. Mermaid Pils because of the Mermaid Parade.

We will be skipping an episode next week, but hopefully we can get a beer-heavy discussion going about Non-Alcoholic beers that we can drop in later. Stay tuned.
