A Mets-adjacent Baseball Prospectus podcast
The For All You Kids Out There podcast is one of the best podcasts for Mets fans, offering honest and informed discussion about baseball. I have been listening to this podcast since the beginning and it has truly changed the way I think about and watch the game. The hosts, Jeffrey and Jarrett, have a great blend of humor, intelligence, and experience that keeps the show engaging. Despite being a weekly 2-hour show, it never feels dragged out.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the baseball chatter that caters specifically to Mets fans. The hosts provide reactions and analysis on the goings-on of their favorite team, which is perfect for someone like me who loves all things Mets. Additionally, they also include a "third half" segment dedicated to professional wrestling, which adds an interesting twist to the podcast. It's a strange but perfect marriage of two interests that I highly recommend.
While there are many positives to this podcast, there are some drawbacks as well. One aspect that can come across as pretentious is Jarrett's demeanor at times. While he is knowledgeable and has a good track record in his analysis, he can be somewhat condescending in his conclusions about players' careers. The hosts sometimes fail to acknowledge that not every player progresses linearly, which may be frustrating for listeners who expect more fluidity in their thoughts on prospects.
In conclusion, The For All You Kids Out There podcast is a must-listen for Mets fans and even professional wrestling enthusiasts. It offers great insight into all things Mets and provides entertaining dialogue along with it. While there may be moments of whining or rehashing of negative aspects within the franchise, overall it remains a valuable source of information and analysis for fans. If you want to stay up-to-date with everything happening in Mets baseball while enjoying insightful discussions, then this podcast is definitely worth checking out.
