Mets On Tap Episode 20

Michael, Jason and Chris chat during the rain delay and ponder just what we can expect from this team the rest of the way.

We discuss some of Zack Scott’s comments today about what just might be getting all the Mets injured lately. We talk some black jerseys and Mercury Mets.

I’d share my trippy images of the Mercury Mets stadium, but I think I’m gonna spin that stuff up into an Optimistic Mets Fan post, so stay tuned for that.

No episode next week as Michael takes off for Cape Cod, though maybe Botty has some other ideas. You never know!

Jason, Michael and Jake riff about baseball watching in the 2000s, Timo Perez at the prom, and Derek Bell, who made it until late May before he just dropped off on the West Coast Trip and his bat never woke back up.

We then move on to discussing these ASG uniforms, the Home Run Derby, and perhaps a few other things.

We get into some hard seltzer talk at the end, and a few of the brands. Do you have a favorite?

Mets On Tap Episode 15

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

Jason, Michael and Chris talk turn of the century Mets teams, Bobby Valentine, lineup construction, and a lot of comparing bench guys then to bench guys now, and spicy beers.

We referenced the Matt Franco game, but did not elaborate on the details, which most of you know, but for completeness’s sake, it was July 10th, 1999. The Yankees, up 8-7 with 2 outs after a Henderson walk and an Alfonzo double, elected to give Mike Piazza intentional ball four to face Matt Franco pinch-hitting for Melvin Mora, who ripped a single between first and second to score the two runs. Mets had a 28% win expectancy in that moment. Pat Mahomes got the win, pitching a scoreless top-9 with 2 walks.

We talked about Bobby Valentine liking flexible guys–Matt Franco played RF, 1B, LF, 3B, DH, and P in 1999.

Beers

Jason: Sierra Nevada Summer Break
Michael: Grimm Flower Record
Chris: Old Nation Boss Tweed
Botty McBotface:Steamworks Pacific Ale, Breakfast Sandwich.

Jason and Michael talk injuries, Wrigley Field, deceptively NOT fruited summer beers and Stadium Names.

Since recording Michael Conforto did return to the Mets and the Syracuse Mets did start playing again, so we probably won’t get more information on what really went down with their Covid outbreak and who’s vaccinated.

You can find the post about Father’s Day and drinking holidays here.

Chris, Jason and Jake talk dominate Mets pitchers, what the bullpen depth looks like in the minors, sticky stuff, and much more!

They discussed prop bets for deGrom. I checked and the Over/Under line for deGrom on Wednesday was at 9.5(-134). Despite getting lifted after 3, he almost made the over!

Some bench love for the -illars, and then a small digression involving who the interim GM actually is.

Jake: Modern Times Electrojet NEIPA
Botty McBotface: Bath Ales‘ Blonde Lass

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.
