Home Run Applesauce: A New York Mets podcast

Grace is back after a very exciting week of Mets baseball. She discusses the many highs, and a significant low, of the past seven days of Mets games. She also gets into the latest updates regarding Shohei Ohtani and his interpreter Ippei Mizuhara’s gambling scandal. Then she gets into another case of draconian laws levied at queer people this, time from Kansas. The proposed bill would mandate ID for viewing content deemed “harmful to minors” online, and the definition of such content includes homosexuality. She breaks down the intentional vagueness of the language, how impossible it may be to actually enforce, and what ripple effects such legislation can and usually does have. Finally, Grace has a somewhat unorthodox movie minute (by her standards). She’s gotten very into ESPN’s 30 for 30 series as of late, and she gives her recommendations for great selections from the first volume of documentaries.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 this good stretch of play the Mets are having (and against good teams!) thanks to contributions from up and down the roster, including from guys many people (including us) were skeptical of going into the season. Next, we talk about the injuries to Francisco Alvarez and Brooks Raley and what that means for the roster. We also share our takes on the Mets’ City Connect uniforms and the “Rally Pimp” “controversy.” 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.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. It’s just Thomas and Lukas this week, so we go long on our discussion of the best City Connect uniforms. We’re a big fan of the Mets’ iteration, ranking it in the top tier below only the Nats and the Padres. Big win for the team, and it seems MLB is getting better at this over time. On the draft front, Michael Massey continues to struggle, while Cam Caminiti bounces back in a big way for Thomas. On the hitting side, both Slade Caldwell and Kaelen Culpepper keep doing what they’ve been doing. We also discuss Keith Law’s draft rankings. Moving to the performance in the minors this week, the bats are still a little sleepy. Mark Vientos is destroying Triple-A again and deserves a trade to a team that can give him a shot. Jett Williams and Luisangel Acuña are still struggling but making strides in the right direction. The pitching, meanwhile, continues to be excellent, even if we’d like to see Blade Tidwell moved to a relief role sooner rather than later.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets have had two very good weeks of baseball, capped off a by sweep of the Pirates at home. Before they head out to the West Coast, Chris and Brian discuss the surprising excellence of the bullpen, some of the offensive highlights, and admit they were wrong (so far) about one player in particular.

Flushing is Burning is back after a fun week of Mets baseball. Grace begins by talking about the Mets bounceback, and Brett Baty (and the teams) looser nature, with a clearly different vibe this year. She also discusses the upcoming City Connect jerseys, and Jackie Robinson and his impact. Next, she dives into the recent news surrounding the transgender sports ban executive order in Nassau County, New York. She talks about the news surrounding it and gives her thoughts on the ridiculous and harmful nature of the law and the potential danger of its ripple effects. Finally, she has another one-two punch of a movie minute, a double feature of documentaries that are meant to be served as a package. They're political, one frightening and one hopeful, but both excellent. Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingisBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com!

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 Mets’ turnaround over the past week, fueled by the offense finally waking up. We celebrate the hot bats of Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil looking like Jeff McNeil, the consistency of Brett Baty, and the emergence of José Butto. Next, we talk about the US government’s criminal complaint against Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara, which was revelatory of how much control Mizuhara had over Ohtani’s finances and how deep Mizuhara’s gambling addiction is. We also shout out RJ Anderson’s piece at CBS Sports about Oakland Coliseum stadium workers who are losing their jobs when the A’s move to their temporary home in Sacramento. 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.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. This week, our promote-extend-trade focuses on recent Mets crowd memes. The rally parakeet remains undefeated, but this year’s iteration ha some potential. Moving on to draft updates, Ken very well might’ve nailed the Mets’ selection, as Carson Benge continues to hit well and fits the Astros’ (and correspondingly, Kris Gross’s) draft history to a tee. Thomas and Lukas’s high school picks continue to perform, but their college picks struggle. You should also check out the BP draft board, a tool we’ll be heavily leveraging in the coming months in all likelihood. Our second half is yet another glowing discussion of Mets’ pitching development. Jose Butto looks legit, and his strong performance against AL Cy Young-hopeful Cole Ragans should lock him into the rotation for the foreseeable future. There’s also good stuff happening in the minors (shout out Dominic Hamel), but Jonah Tong is stealing the show with absolutely insane performances for St. Lucie. He should be rocketing up both the system and prospect rankings in short order.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets bounced back and had a pretty damn good second week of baseball. Brian and Chris discuss the very brief Julio Teheran era, the bullpen churn, and the concern around the lack of J.D. Martinez.

Grace is back with another episode of Flushing is Burning. She does a first week heat check, discussing the bright spots and lowlights of the Mets season so far. She also wades into the discourse over arm health in baseball and what can or can’t be done to fix it. Next, she discusses Kim Mulkey and the Washington Post piece discussing her less-than-stellar coaching practices and her homophobic behavior. Grace laments the influence of Mulkey’s beliefs over young people, and how basketball (and all sports) should be a safer and more inclusive place for all. Finally, Grace has a triptych movie minute, featuring a classic, a book, and a documentary, that all compliment each other and lift each other up. They also help mark an important point in history, both film and generally. Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingisBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com!

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 Mets’ rough start to the season, which is mostly due to the offense not performing. We also talk about Tylor Megill’s injury and Julio Teheran’s Mets debut, which went as expected. Next, we talk about Brandon Nimmo’s criticism of the new Fanatics jerseys and note that his bat has heated up since this very on point critique. In the second half of the show, we cover the rise in pitching injuries, for which there is probably no good solution, the A’s officially leaving Oakland after this season, the White Sox bringing back Mike Clevinger, and the weird situation involving Shohei Ohtani’s home run ball. 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.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. All the full season affiliates are under way now, so we discuss which roster’s we find most watchable for promote-extend-trade. Syracuse and Brooklyn are the favorites for sure, but Binghamton and St. Lucie certainly have their appeals as well. After our draft updates (every pick is looking good except for Lukas’ selection of Michael Massey), we jump into some of the most interesting performances from the opening games of the MiLB season. Christian Scott looks really good, right off the top. There’s also a new interesting reliever in the low minors and perhaps the start of a rebound working in Binghamton. There was also a bad opening to the year for one of the college arms to follow in Brooklyn, but one bad start isn’t too much to worry about.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets haven't gotten off to the world's greatest start, but Brian and Chris have different thoughts on the first six games of the season. And, of course, they discuss a roster move that is already moot by the time the episode got released. Such is life.

Grace is back for Opening Day! She opens up with the first couple games of the MLB season, including the very chaotic Mets first game of 2024. She also discusses the last major free agent domino that has fallen, and the injuries already beginning to crop up. Next, she gets into the drama surrounding Korbin Albert, the USWNT’s young up-and-coming midfielder. She is the new holder of the squad’s #15, recently vacated by legend Megan Rapinoe, and the ideological differences between the two could not be more stark. Grace discusses how rostering a player like Albert flies in the face of the hard work players before her (and players she plays with) have put in in the name of social progress. Finally, Grace has a real throwback movie minute, going back several decades and flying across the Atlantic for a crime classic with one of the greatest heist scenes ever put to film.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 mostly bad, but pretty eventful opening series of the year. We chat about the bad starting pitching and hitting performances, but also the silver linings, including the performance of Francisco Alvarez thus far. We also talk about the ongoing beef between Rhys Hoskins and the Mets. Next, we launch a fundraiser to celebrate five years of the podcast and our 200th episode.

Grace is back with some huge stories. She starts with the world’s quickest recap of recent baseball news to get to the story of the week, maybe year: Shohei Ohtani’s betting scandal. Who did what, what we know, what we don’t, what situations make more sense than others, Grace attempts to make heads and tails of anything and walks away with neither. Then, Grace gets into the Nex Benedict situation. She gives the basic information of what happened, then discusses what happened, both in the micro and macro sense, to make a child take their own life. And she talks about how we’ve all failed people like Nex, and all kids who feel trapped for being themselves. Finally, Grace has the most obvious movie minute of all time, and has only great things to say about Rose Glass’ latest.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. It’s a skeleton crew this week - just Thomas and Lukas, with Ken coming in via recording. Nevertheless, we managed to go on a long tangent about the most fun positions to play and the state of catching in this week’s promote-extend-trade. We then went through draft updates - Thomas is doing quite well, Ken and Lukas less so. For the remainder of the show, we discuss where notable prospects are likely to land up and down the organization. Triple-A should be lots of fun, though maybe a little thin on hitting. Brooklyn has some extremely interesting players on both sides of the ball. There’s a bevvy of interesting, young position players split between St. Lucie and the complex (more power to you if you can figure out where these guys are going). And Binghamton has the best prospect in the system, even if the rest of the team is a touch boring.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets made a very late spring addition to their roster, adding J.D. Martinez as their designated hitter on a one-year, $12 million contract that features some deferments for luxury tax related reasons. Brian and Chris discuss why this move makes perfect sense, share some good Kodai Senga news, debate the Shohei Ohtani mess, and fill out the roster on this final episode before Opening Day. Chris’s Music Pick: Boris - Akuma No Uta Brian’s Music Pick: The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis - The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Home Run Applesauce podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

Grace is back for a post-Oscar roundup and baseball and other news! First, Grace gets into the recent Mets news, who they may or may not sogn, who may or may not be hurt and who may or may not be good. Then a little league-wide round up of a terrible week for arm health. Then, Grace transitions into a post-Oscar round-up. the good, the bad, the disappointing. Good show, some really good winners, but one big disappointment (at least for Grace). Then she takes a few minutes to speak on the recent tragedy surrounding Nex Benedict and what we as a society should be learning from this (and how the people that need the lesson the most seem to be missing it altogether). Finally, a movie minute that bundles one of Grace's favorite nominees from this year's Oscars with her favorite actor currently working, one that is starring in what will almost certainly be one of Grace's favorites from this year (and that she's seeing next week!)

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets named José Quintana their Opening Day starter, but could still add a front-line starter. There is apparently mutual interest from both J.D. Martinez and JD Davis and the Mets. Chris and Brian discuss these and more on this week's podcast.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 storylines from this spring thus far, including the strong work from the pitching staff collectively, the return of Edwin Díaz, Francisco Alvarez looking primed for a breakout, and more. We also suggest that the Mets should pick up J.D. Davis, who the Giants recently cut loose (in a way that is not exactly a victory for labor). We also pick Our Dudes for 2024: A guy who each of us is irrationally excited about this season. In our baseball segment this week, we talk about MLB The Show adding female players to the game, why baseball is behind other sports in regards to women’s leagues (including hockey), baseball media continuing to platform Trevor Bauer as he begs for a job, and Zack Scott’s insights into Mookie Betts’ arbitration hearing and what it says about the arbitration process. 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.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. Last week was leg day, this week is arms; today’s promote-extend-trade focuses on our favorite upper body workouts. Nobody likes benching, both because it’s hard and because it’s socially awkward to ask for a spot on your 100lb bar. (Still waiting on a protein powder sponsorship we’ll get back to you on that). On to the draft follows. We’ve got the full crew in today, and each has two guys to follow: Steve: OF Noah Franco, IMG Academy (HS) Steve: OF Dakota Jordan, Mississippi State Thomas: LHP Cam Caminiti, Saguaro HS Thomas: 3B/SS Kaelen Culpepper, Kansas state Lukas: RHP Michael Massey, Wake Forest Lukas: OF Slade Caldwell, Valley View HS Ken: RHP Drew Beam, Tennessee Ken: OF Carson Benge, Oklahoma State Last year was our first failure to predict the Mets’ 1st rounder in three seasons, a failure we’ll chalk up to the Mets not selecting til 32. Hopefully we do better predicting the 19th overall selection this time around.

Grace is back with a lot of pent-up Oscars excitement! Before the release of that excitement, though, she touches on some baseball news. Giolito's injury, Lux in flux, and the Soto rumors of a Queens-bound future. After that, Grace goes full boar into the Academy Awards this week. First she gives her thoughts on how the ceremony is shaping up, then she dives into her predictions. SHe gives her ranking of the Best Picture nominees and recommends a site for all your Oscar pool decision needs. Finally, Grace delivers a broad movie minute to celebrate the end of the 2023 year in film, and feels the melancholy of turning another page in the history of film.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets are knee deep in spring training, but still have holes in their roster.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. Lukas is back from China and also back in the weight room, so the guys talk about their most liked and most hated lifts. Thomas and Lukas don’t skip leg day, while Ken is the only one with any upper body strength in the group. With the exercise advice portion of the podcast out of the way, we move into a review of some of the Spring Training performances. Nate Lavender has been awesome and remains an interesting profile to track going forward. In the rotation, Christian Scott backed up his offseason rankings and Mike Vasil has added some promising new pitches. The offensive returns have been less positive, and our concerns about the instruction Brett Baty is receiving are only growing.

Grace is back with actual baseball games to discuss! First, she talks the Mets first few Spring Training games, how they’ve looked and what could possibly be ahead. She laments the participation of Murphy in the booth but is resigned to the fact that he will just be in the Mets orbit until the end of time. And she touches on the Steve Cohen’s recent remarks about Pete Alonso’s free agency. Then, she generally discusses the state of baseball, with the controversy around Scott Boras and his clients this offseason. His intention is somewhat noble but this group of players don’t work for his efforts the way Bryce Harper or Corey Seager did. Then she talks about a certain terrible banished player publicly allowing himself to be embarrassed this week, and how fun good trainwrecks are to watch. Finally, Grace has a movie minute she is *very* passionate about, and goes on a spiel to try and get you, dear listener, to trek out and enjoy!

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 Kodai Senga’s injury and what it means for the Mets rotation. We also try to look on the bright side by also discussing early silver linings this spring, such as Francisco Alvarez, to varying degrees of success. Next, we once again ask fans to treat athletes like human beings instead of commodities and shout out a new initiative by wives of former NHL players that serves exactly that purpose. We also talk about the awful new uniforms and the league gaslighting the fans about them.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. Samuel Colt patented the revolver that would come to be known as the Colt .45 on this date back in 1836, so Steve, Ken, and Thomas discuss players who played for the Mets and for the Houston Colt .45s in Promote, Extend, Trade. Following that, the guys discuss the thought processes behind how they made their individual Top 25 Mets prospect lists for the 2024 season and highlight the different things that they looked at.

Another week, another episode! Grace starts with the somewhat breaking news of Senga's shutdown, and how depressing that is to hear. Grace then tries to liven the mood with what Mets fans can look forward to this season, but it's definitely hard to get any real hopes up. Then, Grace goes into general baseball news, starting with the big topic of the week: the terrible new jerseys that seem to have problems from head to cleats. Then she gets into Rob Manfred's announcement of this being his final term, and the legacy he will leave. Then, a double movie minute of two fun movies that exceeded Grace's expectations and are newly available on digital for home viewing!

Grace is back with not a lot of news, but a lot of thoughts and opinions. First, while not a lot of baseball news, there is some stuff to talk about. Corey Kluber retired, Eppler's been banished, and Trevor Bauer services are neither wanted nor needed. Then, Grace gets into the Grammys. The good, the bad, and the annoying, Grace gives her thoughts. She also laments the Oscars unwillingness to embrace their history in the way the Grammys has, and what modern award shows should look for in a host. Finally, Grace gives her movie minute, shouting out a recent film from an Academy Award nominated filmmaker and then her entire filmography as well.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 bullpen arms the Mets added: Adam Ottavino, Jake Diekman, and Shintaro Fujinami. With pitchers and catchers reporting this week, we also talk about our overall outlook on the roster and pray for a J.D. Martinez signing (or just another bat, any bat). Next, we talk about Billy Eppler being placed on the ineligible list for the 2024 season for improper use of the injured list. We also highlight three amazing women breaking barriers in baseball: lead play-by-play announcer for the Athletics Jenny Canvar, umpire Jen Pawol, and 16-year-old Shiki Nakayama, who plays on her high school’s baseball team in Japan. 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.

Grace is back with not a lot of news, but she makes it work. First, she discusses the Mets reliever moves of the past week, and she sums up the Mets offseason in one word: boring. And it's understandable, but it's still not fun. Next, she goes into some general baseball and sports talk. First, she gets into the new Philly City Connect jerseys that leaked, as well as the news that the Nationals are retiring their City Connects, which leads to a bit of a rant. Then she talks about the new MLB The Show cover news, and why she actually likes the choice. Finally, she gets more serious and discusses the ethics and practices that seem to be all over the place when reporting on sexual assault issues in sports, brought into focus by the recent Vince McMahon news. Finally, she gives her movie minute, a new WNBA documentary that she quite enjoyed, as well as talking about the golden age of women's sports documentaries we seem to be in (and hopes this will lead to more women's sports in film generally).

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. Because Lukas isn’t creative enough to come up with a space-themed PET in memory of the Apollo 1 astronauts, this week we reminisce about some bad relievers the Mets signed in the past. We don’t love the Adam Ottavino signing, but he’ll probably be better than Anthony Swarzak and Frank Francisco, so that’s nice. Moving on, we discuss our numbers 11 through seven of our top 25; Blade Tidwell (11), Dominic Hamel (10), Jacob Reimer (9), Mike Vasil (8), and Marco Vargas (7). Mike Vasil might be the closest of the arms to making a major league impact, but we’re all most excited about Hamel. Meanwhile, Marco Vargas ranking this low is a sign of how far the system has come.

Grace is back and there's a lot to discuss. First, she goes over the Hall of Fame voting results. Who got in, who missed, who gets another year and who have lost their chance. No Mets made it in, but quite a few had some notable (and in some cases close) results. Then, she dives into this year's Oscar nominations. The good, the bad, the classic Oscars moves, and the ugly. She celebrates several of the nominated films, and gives her thoughts over the Barbie discourse that has swept the nation these past few days. Finally, for her movie minute, Grace dedicates some time to some films that missed Oscar nominations, unfortunately (there's quite a few to get through so it's something of a speed round). Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingisBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com!

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. With all due apologies to Juan Uribe, we discussed the current NFL playoffs for promote-extend-trade today. The Ravens are universally hated, all of us are pulling for the Lions, and one of us wants the 49ers to win it all so that the Kyle Shanahan / Brock Purdy discourse can continue. Moving to the prospects, we had another good group - though perhaps not as controversial as the last. Ronald Hernandez (16), Tyler Stuart (15), Brandon Sproat (14), Jeremy Rodriguez (13), and Kevin Parada (12) round out our discussion today. We’re probably too low on Rodriguez, but for justifiable reasons, and there might be more reason for optimism with Sproat than you’d expect.

Grace is back with minimal coughing this time! First, she gets into the week in baseball. She covers the complicated feelings behind the opening of the international free agent signing period. She discusses the few arbitration cases, two potential Mets free agent targets, and pays tribute to Buddy Harrelson. Hey, it's been a slow news week. Next, she discusses two high profile legal cases. The first being the ongoing Wander Franco case. There's a lot going on here but each piece of news just makes it look worse and worse. She also touches on Ken Rosenthal's bizarre Athletic article discussing the situation. Then she moves onto Jonathan Majors, and his guilty verdict and subsequent attempt to start a redemption arc that's failing due to his unchecked, rampant narcissism. Finally, she moves into movies, giving a preview of what she thinks will happen next week for the Oscar nominations. She tries to refrain from recommending her favorite potential Oscar nominees, preferring to wait until after the nominations are announced to give a full, fleshed out list of recommendations. Finally, a movie minute of one of the saddest movies Grace has ever seen. Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingisBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com!

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. We spare Ken a dive into video games this week, instead talking about different varieties of Chinese food. A real trio of gourmets. On to business. We have a very exciting group of prospects to talk through as we continue to work through this year’s Top-25; Joander Suarez (21), Stanley Consuegra (20), Colin Houck (19), Matt Rudick (18), and Alex Ramirez (17). A lot of controversial ideas to bounce around among this group. Even though this might not be the most talented segment of the farm, it might be the most interesting to talk about.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets have had an extraordinarily quiet offseason. Brian and Chris try to decipher whether or not this is bad luck or the Mets choosing to be less active. Plus, talk about the bullpen, the lack of a third baseman and a designated hitter, and more.

Flushing is Burning is back! Grace begins with an apology/explanation for her absence, then dives right into a speedrun of a month’s worth of free agency headlines. Soto! Ohtani! Royals! Giants! Glasnow! Yamamoto! Sale! It’s a lot. Then, she dives into the month in Mets free agency news, another speed run of sorts but with less flashy moves. She also discusses her love for the Bader and Manaea moves, and generally has detached herself from any strong emotions (a month of distance will do that). Finally, she dedicates the final segment to a discussion of the Golden Globes, and gives her good moments and bad from the show. She also talks about the upcoming Oscar nominations, and dedicates her movie minute recommendation to a movie that’s in the thick of this awards season.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 Harrison Bader and Sean Manaea signings, which are both good in theory, but still make for an underwhelming offseason, despite the excellent vibes of Bader and Pete Alonso being reunited. We also chat about the current state of the rotation and rumors that the Mets are still looking to add arms via trade. Next, we talk about Trevor Bauer attempting to rehab his image as he tries to return to Major League Baseball and the baseball media lapping that right up. We also talk about the latest in the Wander Franco investigation. 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.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. Because Lukas is at the wheel this week, we start with a brief discussion of optimal companions in Baldur’s Gate 3. We also discover Ken’s class for D&D and realize we have an almost complete party between the three of us (anybody want to join as a cleric)? With those shenanigans out of the way, we dive into our discussion of this year’s Top-25, working through Nolan McLean (25), Layonal Ovalles (24), Boston Baro (23), and Nathan Lavender (22). As usual, we have some rankings we regret, but overall the system is much more interesting to talk about than in year’s past.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. Santa is coming to town, bringing presents to all of the good little boys and girls. Steve Cohen and the Mets apparently were on the naughty list in 2023, because not only are they getting heavily dinged by the MLB luxury tax, paying almost half of the record $233 million, but instead of getting Turbo Man, they got a rock.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. Firstly, Steve goes over the recent Ronny Mauricio injury news, how long it might be before we see him back on the field, and what to possibly expect when he does get back on the field. Following that, the guys go over their 2023 pre-season mild, medium, and bold predictions. All in all, Steve and Ken weren’t too accurate, going 0-fer (though Ken was extremely close with one of his predictions), while Lukas and Thomas were a little more successful. Hopefully, everybody does better with our upcoming 2024 predictions.

Another week with very little news. Grace begins by discussing the Mets recent activity, consisting of a few free agent signings, a few minor league signings, and a few waiver claims. She contextualizes the small activity with hope that it won't seem so bad in a few months. She also touches on the finalized coaching staff and gets into the Hall of Fame ballot and the connections to the Mets. Then, she broadens her view to the rest of the league. Shohei Ohtani has not signed, and it has brought the entire offseason to a halt. For an exciting offseason in concept, it sure is boring. There are also rumors around Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Juan Soto, but nothing will happen until Ohtani moves, seemingly. Finally, Grace has another double movie minute, in tribute to her birthday. It's a double feature Grace does annually, featuring two queer Christmas-themed films (one more Christmasy than the other). It's not the world's most cohesive double feature, but it is very Grace.

After a holiday week break, Grace is back with some news to talk about. She gets into the major news around the league, a few free agent signings and some postings from Japan, plus a bit on Shohei Ohtani. She also discusses the minor amounts of Mets news from the past couple of weeks, but nothing too exciting. Then, she does her promised A League of Their Own chat (the movie, not the show). She has a free form talk about one of her favorite films, discussing the cast, the direction, the script, and the costuming. She also talks about the duality of the movie and show, and Penny Marshall's importance in film history. Finally, she talks about the recent Scream VII news that's been all over the place, and talks about the Hollywood Blacklist of the 1950s. And finally, she does a double movie minute (to make up for being off last week), one to close out Noirvember and one to kickstart the holiday season.

It's been a little week for baseball news but the extra two days Grace took to record this episode gave her a little more to work with. The manager merry-go-round ended with Mendoza leading the Mets, and even more shocking results elsewhere. Mendoza seems fine now but no one can know until the Mets take the field in 2024.And some reports are starting to create multiple pictures of what that Mets team might look like, for better or worse. Then, with nothing much else to talk about, Grace gets into a topic she is very passionate about: the NWSL championship game played this weekend. Gotham has won their first trophy, and the first championship for the city (and its surrounding area) in over a decade. Grace gets into the nitty-gritty of the game and all the juicy, drama-filled storylines running throughout it. Let's go Bats! Finally, Grace pitches an idea for a segment next week, and it requires you, dear listener, to be a passive (or active if you want) part of it. So go find your closest streaming/physical media copy of the film version of A League of Their Own and let's get to work. And finally, a movie minute featuring an all-time for Grace, in continuation of Noirvember 2023. Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingisBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com! If you have any thoughts on A League of Their Own, make sure to send them ahead of next week's episode!

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 Carlos Mendoza hire, the Craig Counsell saga, and the Brewers’ down-bad reaction to the Craig Counsell saga. We also shout out Kodai Senga for coming in second in the NL Rookie of the Year voting and Francisco Lindor for winning a Silver Slugger. Next, we talk about Metropolitan Park—Steve Cohen’s vision for the future of the area around Citi Field—and why we think it’s a positive for the Mets and the community. 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.

The Rangers have won the World Series, and the 2023 MLB season is officially a wrap! Grace discusses the end of the World Series, and her inability to predict anything. The fan reaction in Texas is tremendous, and who knows when there will be another first time winner. Grace also touches on the ridiculousness of complaining about television ratings as fans. Then, Grace goes into the Mets offseason, with the manager spot being the most pressing concern. This episode was recorded prior to the Counsell/Mendoza news breaking, so she clearly has no idea what’s coming. She touches on some minor moves the team has made thus far, and what they could be looking at in free agency, both for open spots and to improve in other places. Finally, Grace begins concretely thinking about what the offseason will look like for the podcast, and the balance between baseball coverage, queer news, and movie stuff will look like in the drier months. Finally, another Noirvember movie minute, with an impromptu double feature recommendation.

Grace leads off the episode talking about the first two games of the World Series. There's great stories, great performances, and a terrible joke from Justin Verlander's brother. Where it goes from here, who knows? Then a switch to some general sports news. First, the Pride Tape ban has been repealed! Thanks to the courage of Travis Dermott, and the ineptitude of the NHL, the ban lasted not even a single game and now players can do as they please (with regards to their stick tape) yet again. Then, in a more downer note, Dwight Howard has been accused of sexual assault, but because it's a man accusing him people have lost their collective minds. There's thoughts on the nature of rape jokes and culture when it comes to the straight perspective on gay issues, and also the bonkers take from Deadspin that these assault allegations are ruining a big moment for LGBTQ athletes. Finally, a multi-minute, multi-movie movie minute! First, Grace talks about the joy of seeing Academy Award nominee and hot upcoming star Paul Mescal in a Mets hat. She recommends a movie of his and a movie of the OG Mets hat movie star king Leonardo DiCaprio. Then Grace wraps up with her real movie minute, one that kicks off the start of the so-called "Noirvember."

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 latest on Craig Counsell, who is reportedly “serious” about his interest in the Mets’ managing job.

Next, we talk about the World Series, the fireworks from the ALCS, and Dusty Baker’s retirement. We also react live to Mookie Betts’ comments about Trevor Bauer, which emerged while we were recording the show.

It's another boring playoff week, but a bit of Mets news gives Grace something to talk about. There's a bit of manager news, some awards and nominations, and a former Met retirement. Plus a lot of Grace struggling to remember past World Series winners for some frat radio content. Then, Grace takes a look at the two playoff series running at the time of recording. The ALCS with its drama between Adolis García and Bryan Abreu, and Grace takes a stand on FIB's rooting interests in the series. And the NLCS with a fun back and forth between the Phillies and Diamondbacks. Grace then takes a stand on the Phillies' song choice for their playoff run. Finally, Grace looks ahead at what the show can do post-playoffs, with a long winter ahead. And since Grace is bad at math and reading calculators, you get two movie minutes for the price of one to celebrate the end of October.

In the midst of the playoffs there's no Mets news, so Grace pivots to general baseball coverage and talks about the playoffs to this point. Two LCS's with stories on the road to them, and how the teams stack up. Grace also has a (somewhat) shameful admission about the 2023 Phillies, so try not to get too worked up about it. Then, Grace looks at some big stories from the week. Alyssa Nakken became the first woman considered for a managerial position in MLB! Of course there's sexist backlash but who cares? Kim Ng resigned, and good for her for knowing her worth. Then, Grace discusses the NHL ban on Pride Tape and how stupid the NHL is to create a backlash that was wholly unnecessary. But homophobia isn't based in logic, is it? Final, a third act all about Grace's movie minute, which starts as a celebration of a film and then turns to a slight dissection of late-00s media culture and the depiction of women therein, a celebration fo three women who deserve their flowers, and Grace listing every movie she's ever seen (just about).

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 Billy Eppler’s resignation and the investigation into the Mets for improper use of the injured list. We also talk about Pete Alonso changing agents and Francisco Lindor’s surgery to remove a bone spur from his elbow. Next, we talk about the playoffs, including the soft behavior demonstrated by the Braves in the NLDS and the lamentable fact that there are really no teams remaining we’re interested in rooting for. We also cover Jerry Dipoto’s recent comments, Kim Ng’s departure from the Marlins, Alyssa Nakken becoming the first woman to interview for an MLB manager position, and the MLBPA filing an amicus brief supporting overturning MLB’s antitrust exemption.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.

Grace anticipated a light week of Mets news, but she forgot that the Mets have always been deranged. There's a "leak" (wonder who from) about infighting between Buck Showalter and Eppler, Eppler's bizarre resignation and investigation, and even some Pete Alonso rumors! Then, after the first full week of the playoffs, Grace has some thoughts! Wild Card series discourse, which teams look good, which teams looked bad, which teams needed more pitching (exactly who you're thinking). Finally, playoff predictions turn into a rant on teams not retaining homegrown stars and what that does to fanbases...no idea how it ended up there. And a horror-adjacent movie minute, but it's not scary this time! Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingisBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com!

The Mets season might have ended, but the fun has only just begun! Grace has a lot to cover this week, starting with Buck Showalter’s dismissal. Where do the Mets go from here, and what is his legacy? Then, on a lighter note, David Stearns is home! Grace sifts through the good and better of Sterns introductory press conference, and where the Mets can go from here. In the second act, Grace shifts her eye to the baseball community at large. The Orioles are staying Baltimore which is great! But why could Manfred back Baltimore and not Oakland? At what point does years matter in terms of staying put? Then, unfortunately, more major league homophobia courtesy of Hector Neri’s. Maybe? Nothing’s been confirmed, but the vibe certainly seems to be he said something bad! And J-Rod’s mad now! Finally, Grace asks an important pod question—who do we, as Met fans root for in the playoffs? So many teams have connections with the Mets (and some with Flushing is Burning itself) that it’s hard to figure it out. And, to end the show, Grace has a movie minute in honor of the first week of October. Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingIsBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com.

It's been so long since we've talked Mets, they got a new POBO! Grace, in her first solo show, discusses David Stearns' hiring, potential moves he could make, and the expectations fans should have/temper. Then, a little 2023 Mets discussion, but how much is there really to say at this point? Then, Grace goes over all the general baseball news the show missed! The Padres have internal beef! Where does it start, where does it end, who's responsible and for how much? The Angels have drama with all their star players and are on track to have a franchise-defining offseason. And there's a serious discussion of Julio Urias and the privilege of a major league career not being a right for those who commit crimes. Finally, a brief Mike Trout trade thought discussion, and Grace's movie minute that really burns down the house (wink wink).

Will the Libs deliver New York its first WNBA title? What sort of impact has seafoam green had on New York's basketball scene? Is this going to become a basketball podcast?

Shohei Ohtani torched the Mets only days after finding out he suffered a torn UCL. That isn’t really a Mets story, except maybe it kinda is? And while it’s a little gross to ask, do the Mets benefit at all from Ohtani’s career-changing injury? Grace and Christian also discuss Kodai Senga and José Quintana as the not-bad one-two punch for the Mets’ pitching staff. Is this a top-of-the-rotation that Mets fans can be excited about for 2024? They also praise the Mets for announcing number retirement ceremonies for Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden, both long overdue and well-deserved for two franchise legends. And speaking of legendary, Grace discusses what she believes to be George Lucas’s finest movie.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.

Welcome to Flushing is Burning, a weekly podcast hosted by Grace Carbone and Christian Romo that examines the Mets, queer issues, and the occasional intersection of the two. Now that the Mets are playing for 2024 and beyond, Grace and Christian discuss what tanking means for those still invested in the 2023 Mets. And while it’s not a fun discussion, it still leads to thankfulness for those narrating the way through the rest of the season. They also talk about some Justin Verlander gossip leaked to the New York Post, as well as speculate on which Mets player could have been behind the leak. And while they couldn’t find an easy transition, they also touch on the Wander Franco accusations. Also, Christian watched Asteroid City! He has some thoughts, and Grace dives into a movie this week that is the complete opposite of Asteroid City.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 talking about the truly heinous lineup the Mets put forward against the Braves in Game 1 of Saturday’s doubleheader and debate whether it’s worse than the 2015 lineup in which John Mayberry Jr. batted cleanup. We then discussed an encouraging piece by Ken Rosenthal in The Athletic that indicated that the Mets do plan to spend money in the offseason. It also contained the framework for a potential Pete Alonso extension, which we wholeheartedly support in spite of unfounded allegations that Alonso is a clubhouse cancer. In our baseball segment this week, we talk about recent comments by Athletics team president Dave Kaval and disturbing allegations that Wander Franco engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a minor. 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.

After an eventful sell-off, the Mets do not seem motivated to continue competing. But Grace and Christian spend a lot of time figuring out reasons to continue watching, even if a last-place finish in the division remains a reality. They also say goodbye to Mark Canha and reflect on his time in New York and his impact on MLB clubhouses. New York's loss is Milwaukee's gain, and they'll always remember the big, beautiful ally fondly. Lastly, they examine what the heck is going on with New York's other baseball team, and Grace finally convinces Christian to watch a movie. And it's even on Peacock! We're on social media now!

Welcome to Flushing is Burning, the latest addition to the Home Run Applesauce family of podcasts, hosted by Grace Carbone and Christian Romo. Flushing is Burning is a weekly podcast examining the Mets, queer issues, and the occasional intersection of the two. The vibes are rarely good around a team choosing to sell at the trade deadline, but they were especially bad around the Mets this week. The David Robertson and Max Scherzer trades brought impressive prospect hauls, but did they come at a bigger cost? Christian and Grace discuss. They also look at the realistic options for this team heading into the 2024 season now that 2023 looks lost. But even though the Mets won’t likely win the World Series this season, there still are some fun things to keep track of over the season’s final two months. And for Grace’s move minute: Last week was Barb-, and this week is -enheimer! Grace said it was anxiety-inducing and overwhelming and also the best movie she’s seen this year. Christian has doubts.

Flushing is Burning is a weekly podcast examining the Mets, queer issues, and the occasional intersection of the two.

Christian discusses his conflicted feelings on how much of a non-story this was, while Grace praises the NFL for lapping the competition on queer issues. Also, Barbenheimer?

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 Mets’ first series win in a month and improvements in the rotation, mostly Verlander and Scherzer pitching more like themselves and David Peterson getting better results. We also talk about Pete Alonso being named to the All-Star Game and participating in the Home Run Derby, the rather damning things J.D. Davis had to say about the Mets organization, and the trade the Mets made with the Mariners this week. Next, we talk about Domingo Germán’s no-hitter, which cannot be discussed without talking about his abuse. We highlight two articles we think covered this topic well—one from friend of the pod Jen Mac Ramos at Defector and another from Kyle Kishimoto at FanGraphs. 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.

Welcome to Flushing is Burning, the latest addition to the Home Run Applesauce family of podcasts, hosted by Grace Carbone and Christian Romo. Flushing is Burning is a weekly podcast examining the Mets, queer issues, and the occasional intersection of the two. This week, Grace and Christian look over how exactly Mets’ pitching got hot at the same time the offense got cold. There’s reason to be optimistic about this team’s World Series potential, even if the record may not indicate the same. They also talk about comments from Anthony Bass, Clayton Kershaw, and Blake Treinen and wonder what the purpose of an ally can be in MLB. And just when June couldn’t get any worse for MLB, Lou Gehrig Day passed with even less fanfare than Pride.

The Mets are under .500 and the issues look pretty clear. Are they fixable? Grace and Christian discuss. They also wish Billy Bean (not the Moneyball one) a happy 59th birthday and examine his playing career and his role for LGBT baseball fans, as well as his tenuous connections to the Mets, including incidents with Mike Piazza and Daniel Murphy. They also field a special listener question (okay it's Christian's partner) about the purpose of the on-deck circle and start wondering what else about baseball might warrant an examination.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 Mets winning five out of six last week, including a sweep of the A’s which featured some historic badness from the A’s pitching staff. We also talked about the Mets’ latest roster moves, including the major one: the promotion of top prospect Brett Baty to the big leagues. In our baseball segment this week, we talk about the horrendous new patches on the Mets’ uniform patches and the disturbing trend these ads represent, which Rich Staff recently wrote about for Amazin’ Avenue. The craven greed of owners has also manifested itself in the new alcohol policies at stadiums, which have arisen as a result of the shorter games. We discuss this and Matt Strahm’s very thoughtful quote about it. We also briefly talked about Mike Clevinger using “Gold Digger” by Kayne West as his warmup music because of course that’s his warmup music. 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.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 takeaways from the Mets’ first three series of the season, including Carlos Carrasco’s struggles, Pete Alonso hitting a lot of baseballs (which might be different again?) out of the ballpark, and the Mets seemingly relegating Francisco Álvarez to a backup catching role. In our baseball segment this week, we cover the Royals stadium workers speaking out about unsafe working conditions at Kauffman Stadium. We also talk about Rob Manfred calling analytics an “arms race to nowhere,” John Angelos not opening the books after all, and Angels preferring only team-friendly coverage when it comes to their affiliated media. 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.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast 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 Mets’ opening series against the Marlins, in which the rotation looked mostly fine despite Justin Verlander’s absence and the bullpen also looked fine despite Edwin Díaz’s absence. Next, we talk about the historic first collective bargaining agreement for minor league players and review the highlights contained therein—pay increases, one less year of team control, improvements in housing, and shrinking the size of the Domestic Reserve List (the biggest concession to the league). This week in cheap owners: John Angelos being cagey on extending his young players and Arte Moreno refusing to pay for the Angels radio broadcast to travel for road games this season. We finish off our baseball segment by shouting out the fact that there are a record number of female coaches (19) at the professional level in MLB this year, including four in the Mets organization.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, our Home Run Applesauce podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. In honor of the Pimp My Ride PSP that came out on this date in 2007, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas Promote, Extend, or Trade pimped cars from the MTV hit show. After, the team gives updates on their Way-Too-Early-Draft-Special player follows. Following that, they review the first few games of the 2023 season. Lastly, the guys give three mild, medium, and bold predictions for the upcoming 2023 season. Steve thinks that Kevin Kendall will be a Mets top 25 prospect in 2024, Blade Tidwell will be a national top 50 prospect, and Layonel Ovalles will pitch his way into the Mets top 10. Lukas thinks that Dylan Tebrake moves quickly and pitches in Double-A in 2024, Jett Williams becomes a national top 25 prospect, and Jacob Reimer becomes a national top 100 prospect. Ken thinks that Brett Baty will hit 10 home runs in the MLB in 2024, Kevin Parada becomes the consensus best catcher in the minors, and Blade Tidwell pitches in the big leagues. Thomas thinks that the Mets will have two top five players in the 2023 National League Rookie of the Year votes, Francisco Alvarez will not get a single at-bat in the majors, and the Mets will have 5 players who are considered national top 100 prospects for 2024.

This podcast will pop up whenever big news breaks which, hopefully, means that you’ll be hearing it quite a bit this offseason!

The Mets lost a franchise-defining player in Jacob deGrom, gained one of the handful of players who could possibly console us in Justin Verlander, and added to both the rotation and bullpen during the 2022 Winter Meetings.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past. As R.A. Dickey would a generation later, Terry Leach saw his future dream of major league glory seemingly disappear to the scourge of arm injuries, only to reinvent himself with a unique pitching style and a dogged determination to pitch in the major leagues and ultimately put pen to paper to eloquently write about the experience. Leach aced a tryout to earn a place in the Braves organization, where one of his coaches would suggest a sidearm approach to help compensate for his lost velocity. Leach would take to the style with aplomb, but was continually overlooked despite strong results. Released by the Braves, Leach would latch on with the Mets, where he would finally get major league opportunities—excelling when called upon, including an incredible 10 inning, one hit shutout in 1982—but would still be exiled to the minors when not needed. A contributor in 1985 who was appreciated by his teammates and his manager, Leach found little room on the mighty 1986 juggernaut, leading to a cheap Wilpon-ian World Series ring kerfuffle. But when injuries ravaged the 1987 squad, Leach took his opportunity and ran with it. And ran and ran and ran.

We also chatted about a potential reunion with Adam Ottavino and the state of the Mets’ pitching depth given the moves they’ve made on the fringes. Next, we discuss the free agency signings that have been made across baseball, the Winter Meetings outlook, Bryce Harper’s Tommy John surgery, and Trevor Bauer taking two L’s in court.

This week, we begin by discussing the Edwin Díaz signing and free agents the Mets have been connected to so far this offseason. We also congratulation Buck Showalter for winning NL Manager of the Year. Next, we recap our feelings on the World Series and the 2022 playoffs in general. We lament the fact that it was the first World Series since 1950 with no U.S.-born Black players playing in it. But, we celebrate where baseball has made progress in other ways, such as the Marlins recently promoting Caroline O’Connor to team president, making them the first team in MLB history to have women serving as both GM and team president.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past. Kenny Rogers had a long and circuitous path to the major leagues, but slowly but surely rode two important pitching traits—durability and left-handedness—to major league success. Rogers rose from a LOOGY to a bullpen staple to a rotation staple in Texas—making baseball history with a perfect game along the way—all while battling the front office on salary issues and befuddling teammates with his aloof manner. Rogers signed with the Yankees prior to the 1996 season and struggled, but the team overcame those struggles to win a World Championship. After resurrecting his career in Oakland, the Mets traded for Rogers for the 1999 stretch run. He provided 5 wins and his inning-eating stability down the stretch as the team barely made the playoffs, but he struggled mightily in the 1999 playoffs, eventually walking in the series-ending run in New York’s epic Game 6 loss to the Braves in the NLCS.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. First up this week, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas discuss bad baseball nicknames in Promote, Extend, Trade. Next, they review the Mets’ Arizona Fall League contingent and how they did in this fourth week of the AFL season. Following that, they quickly touch on some breaking news and how it will affect the Mets minor league system. Lastly, they share their thoughts about the 2022 St. Lucie Mets season. The team had a ton of highly-regarded Mets prospects and farmhands rostered in the first half and they took care of business, winning the Florida State League East division. Promotions cost them some of their higher profile players in the second half, but 2022 draftees provided reinforcements late and the team went on to sweep the playoffs, winning their sixth Florida State League championship!

Next, we talk about how the Mets expressed interest in J.T. Realmuto last offseason, but then never followed up—as J.T. Realmuto plays in the World Series for the Mets’ division rival. Then, we discuss Marcus Stroman’s troubling tweets and Twitter likes containing anti-semitic dog whistles and the general rise of anti-semitic sentiments expressed by public figures.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. First up this week, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas discuss Christopher Lee in a Halloween-themed Promote, Extend, Trade. Next, they review the Mets’ Arizona Fall League contingent and how they did in this fourth week of the AFL season. After, they share their thoughts about the 2022 Brooklyn Cyclones season. Expectations were somewhat high coming into the season, but some questionable roster choices early in the year led to the team having a less-than-stellar first half. Things turned around in a hurry in the second half as promotions began. Brooklyn ended up winning the second half division and clinched a playoff berth, but unfortunate did not advance very far, losing to the Aberdeen IronBirds in the best-of-three- series.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past. George Stone was a two-sport star in college, ultimately choosing baseball over basketball. A promising young left-handed pitcher, he made his MLB debut at the age of 21 with Atlanta, and was a key cog in the rotation of the 1969 Braves, who would fall to the Mets in the inaugural National League Championship Series that year. Stone would struggle with arm problems before getting traded to the Mets in the 1972 offseason with Felix Millan. Seen by many as a throw-in with the All-Star second baseman, Stone had an incredible 1973 for the Mets, going 12-3 and winning 4 games in their amazin’ September run to the pennant. Slated to start Game 6 of the World Series with the Mets up 3 games to 2 on the mighty A’s, Stone was bypassed for Tom Seaver and Jon Matlack on three days’ rest each—a fateful “What If” in Mets’ history.

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. The Mets and the Braves depress the guys too much for a Promote, Extend, Trade topic this week, so they talk about the end of the 2022 minor league season and some of the standouts. After, Steve, Lukas, Ken, and Thomas review their pre-season predictions for the 2022 season made back in last March. Some were accurate. Some were accurate (kinda).

Next, we talk about who might make the Mets’ playoff roster and who might not. We also talk about how much fun baseball history we are witnessing all around the game right now from Pete Alonso setting the franchise RBI record to Albert Pujols’ 700th career home run to Aaron Judge’s pursuit for 62.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past. Mike Bruhert grew up approximately six miles from Shea Stadium, but his journey to play there was incredibly unlikely. He went 1-16 at his high school, but was discovered by a Mets’ scout in a sandlot all-star game. Early in his Mets tenure, Bruhert met—and eventually married—Gil Hodges’ daughter Irene. Meanwhile, he toiled in the minors for more than seven seasons before finally earning a rotation spot for Joe Torre’s 1978 Mets squad.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past. A first round draft pick out of Fordham University by tge Baltimore Orioles, Pete Harnisch made his MLB debut before he turned 22. Harnisch blossomed in Houston, turning into an All Star after Baltimore included him in an historically bad trade. It thus seemed a joyous homecoming when the Mets acquired Harnisch before the 1995 season. However, the righty struggled with injuries, mental health issues, and disputes with manager Bobby Valentine. He’d flash his more traditional form in Cincinnati after his escape from New York, narrowly missing a chance to haunt his former team in 1999.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past. Lenny Harris was a speedy, versatile player who ultimately appeared at every position on the diamond except for catcher over his 18-year career. Harris was useful utility player early in his career for the Reds and the Dodgers. Over the latter half of his career, Harris switched teams often, as teams in the pennant race would often look to add his veteran presence and pinch hitting acumen to their bench. This happened twice with the Mets, as Harris was reunited with his old Dodger friend and teammate Mike Piazza in New York. After a productive stint with the team in 1998, Harris came back to the Mets in a separate trade in 2000, serving as a pinch hitter for that year’s N.L. Champion squad and returning in 2001, when he would break Manny Mota’s all-time record for pinch hits in a Mets uniform.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the team past. Once described by the MLB Network as baseball’s Forrest Gump, Lenny Randle did have an uncanny knack for appearing at randomly notable baseball moments—including two of the five contests to end in forfeit since 1971. Randle was a seeming fixture with the Texas Rangers until the loss of his job—and an ensuing confrontation with his manager—led to his suspension and subsequent trade to the Mets in 1977. With New York, Randle would have a superlative season in a year that would be difficult for the franchise—and the city—as Randle would be standing at home plate when Shea Stadium—and NYC—were plunged into a famous blackout.
