Podcast appearances and mentions of David Wright

The Mets free fall since June 13th is discussed in detail on this weeks show. From the starting rotation's inability to go deep in games, the recent bullpen melt downs, to the streaky offense - we go over it all here with top baseball insiders Andy Martino and Laura Albanese. We also look at the phenomenal debut of Nolan McLean on August 16th and discuss why he was not brought up sooner (the real insider will surprise you). The Mets fed off the energy of the kids at the Little League Classic - against the Seattle Mariners - but lose Francisco Alvarez in the process! Plus Juan Soto shuffling for the kids! August 2015 was a much different story for the Mets. We discuss that month with the Mets marching to the NL Championship with Terry Collins, Mets VP of Alumni relations Jay Horwitz and Andy Martino. Tunnel to Towers provides stories of inspiration with David Wright and Sylvester Stallone.

All that & more packed into our annual episode with Chris! Thanks so much for joining us again, appreciate all the time & insight as always.   

The Mets and Yankees both suffered frustrating losses. Gio and Jerry agree the Yankees' offensive struggles against Joe Ryan are déjà vu. Gio believes Aaron Boone will be fired if the Yankees miss the playoffs, while Jerry is unsure. A positive Mets fan from LA, Gio's critique of the Infinity Sports Network talent draft, and C-Lo's updates are also discussed. Gio is hesitant to ask Boomer for a favor. David Wright dislikes the Mets' home pinstripes. C-Lo explains a TikTok trend Brian Daboll referenced. Taylor Swift discussed her relationship with Travis and Jason Kelce on their podcast. Eddie undermines Gio's caddy story. The Moment of the Day: "Down goes Straw" and Jerry is "our Jeff McNeil." The hour concludes with discussions about watching Hard Knocks and CBS celebrating "The NFL Today."

Hour 1 Returning from California, Gio and Jerry discuss the Mets' 6-0 lead blown last night, attributing the loss to David Peterson's poor performance and the team's recent pitching struggles. They question the Mets' future, especially with the pitching staff. C-Lo's update covers the Mets' loss, the Brewers' 12th consecutive win, the Yankees' inability to sweep, Giancarlo Stanton's strong play, injuries at the Jets and Giants joint practice, Breece Hall's contract extension comments, and Jerry Jones's experimental drug trial. The hour ends with Gio and Jerry still struggling with the Mets' ongoing issues. Hour 2 Gio and Jerry discuss their trip to Pebble Beach and their golf games. C-Lo provides an update, and they talk about the Mets' blown lead and Pete Alonso's out at the plate. C-Lo explains the Brewers' free burger promotion. They also discuss Cam Schlittler's early exit, Paul Goldschmidt's potential injury, and a spat between The 7 Line and BT & Sal. Finally, Gio praises Jaxson Dart as an NFL QB prospect, and a caller thanks them for the Pebble Beach trip. Hour 3 Gio thinks Jerry will have an issue with Pete Alonso writing “down goes Straw” on his 253rd home run ball but Jerry is ok with it. Gio says there was no reason at all to include that. They agree that Pete definitely didn't have any negative intentions when he wrote it. Gio wasn't a big fan of Gary Cohen's call of the home run but Jerry liked it. C-Lo returns for an update but first Gio asks him to chime in on the Pete and Darryl Strawberry debate. The Mets and Yankees are a combined 6-17 since the trade deadline. They're hanging onto playoff spots by one game. It's been a dark two weeks. Chris “Mad Dog” Russo was bothered by the Mets celebration of Pete Alonso's 253rd HR and Gary Cohen's call of it. Gio doesn't agree with Dog but he thinks the pregame celebration after the record-breaking game is unnecessary. In the final segment of the hour, Gio and Jerry wonder if Pete's home run ball will stay in the Mets Hall of Fame at Citi Field or at his home. A caller wants Jeremy Hefner fired. Gio says it could happen after the season but Jerry would put the blame on the players and David Stearns before Hefner. Hour 4 The Mets and Yankees both suffered frustrating losses. Gio and Jerry agree the Yankees' offensive struggles against Joe Ryan are déjà vu. Gio believes Aaron Boone will be fired if the Yankees miss the playoffs, while Jerry is unsure. A positive Mets fan from LA, Gio's critique of the Infinity Sports Network talent draft, and C-Lo's updates are also discussed. Gio is hesitant to ask Boomer for a favor. David Wright dislikes the Mets' home pinstripes. C-Lo explains a TikTok trend Brian Daboll referenced. Taylor Swift discussed her relationship with Travis and Jason Kelce on their podcast. Eddie undermines Gio's caddy story. The Moment of the Day: "Down goes Straw" and Jerry is "our Jeff McNeil." The hour concludes with discussions about watching Hard Knocks and CBS celebrating "The NFL Today."

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo have the perfect diversion from the struggling Mets - an exclusive interview with Mets legend David Wright!  The guys talk to Number Five about stories from his number retirement day, behind the scenes tales from the production of his SNY documentary, the 2015 trade deadline, his thoughts on the current team, his choice of the best Mets uniform ever, and all the details of the Battle of the Badges Game between the NYPD and FDNY that David is hosting at Citi Field on Sunday August 17th. Later, Connor and Joe dive down deep (and low) to talk about the current mess that is the Mets, including the pitching problems, the hitting problems, and all the other problems.  The show also goes Down on the Farm to reveal what's behind the recent success of Brandon Sproat, and opens up a loud Mailbag to let the listeners let it all out as well.

The team continues to struggle with the lack of starting pitching going deep in the games, and with the top of the lineup struggling to produce with runners on base.

From 'Rico Brogna' (subscribe here): It was a tough 3-game series for the Mets as they return from all-star break. David Wright's retirement of his number 5 distracted the fans from losing the series to the Reds. A victory on Sunday at least allowed the Mets to avoid being swept at home.

It's hard not to get pumped up for baseball when the second half of the season has begun. The Brewers are on a tear, tied for the best record in the National League with the Chicago Cubs. Someone might be pulling some strings there. Aaron Judge is doing something only Aaron Judge has done, we call Elias about Elias and David Wright is honored at Citi Field. Many Mets fans would debate, where does he fall among the greatest Mets of all time, let us know in the comments. The auction item any fan would love to bid on (I would think) and Hunter Brown's love and respect for one of the best managers of all time.

We heard from David Wright as he addressed the crowd when the Mets retired his number. Scottie Scheffler talked about staying calm as he won the Open Championship.

Boomer discusses Netflix's 'Quarterback', admiring Jared Goff and empathizing with Kirk Cousins, while finding Joe Burrow unique. He notes Aaron Glenn followed Dan Campbell's strategy of replacing the existing quarterback. Netflix is focusing on cruises, releasing 'Poop Cruise' and a documentary about a missing woman sold into sex trafficking. Jerry provides updates: Yankees beat Braves, MLB investigates a Braves coach's threat, Mets avoided a sweep against the Reds, and David Wright's number was retired. Scottie Scheffler calmly won the Open Championship. The hour concluded with a caller urging Gio to handle a wasp nest, prompting calls from two exterminators named Vinny.

Hour 1 Boomer, Gio, Jerry, Al & Eddie are back. Scottie Scheffler won The Open Championship; his dominance contrasts with his boring personality. Jerry's update included Scheffler's win. The Mets avoided a sweep, beating the Reds with Juan Soto scoring on an infield hit. The Yankees beat the Braves, winning the series as Aaron Judge homered. Gio saw a Joe Namath hearing aid commercial, leading to a discussion on Boomer doing a boner pill commercial. Hour 2 Boomer discusses Netflix's 'Quarterback' series, liking Jared Goff and sympathizing with Kirk Cousins, while finding Joe Burrow unique. He notes Aaron Glenn's approach mirrors Dan Campbell's in Detroit. Netflix is also targeting cruises with documentaries, including one about a missing woman sold into sex trafficking. Jerry's update covers the Yankees beating the Braves, MLB investigating a Braves coach, the Mets avoiding a sweep, and David Wright's number retirement speech. Scottie Scheffler reflected on staying calm during his Open Championship win. Finally, Gio's wasp nest issue was discussed, with two exterminators named Vinny calling in. Hour 3 Despite losing their series to the Reds, the Mets avoided a sweep. Boomer noted high-paid players underperforming, a sentiment echoed by a caller who highlighted the offense's season-long struggles, previously masked by dominant pitching. Jerry's update began with the Mets' win and then covered the Yankees taking 2-of-3 from the Braves before their Toronto series. Scottie Scheffler won the Open. The hour concluded with a discussion on the upcoming NFL season, focusing on the Jets' new GM, Head Coach, and Offensive Coordinator. Hour 4 Scottie Scheffler, dubbed "boring," won the Open Championship, prompting comparisons to Tiger Woods. Jerry's final update covered WFAN personalities' votes for NY's all-quarter-century teams. Aaron Judge tied A-Rod for sixth all-time Yankee homers. The Mets beat the Reds, with Juan Soto scoring on an infield single. Scheffler reacted to his win. The Moment of the Day: Boomer endorsing a "boner pill." The final segment revisited the WFAN quarter-century teams, including the hockey team. The building's fire alarm frequently goes off unnoticed.

The first series back after the All-Star break did not go as planned for the Los Angeles Dodgers. On the flip-side, it went as well as it could go for the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers swept the Dodgers, in LA, over the weekend as they extended their win streak to ten and climbed up the standings to tie the Cubs for the lead in the NL Central. The Dodgers remain 3.5 games up in the NL West, but everything is not going according to the script in Los Angeles. Mookie Betts' struggles continued, and he's now been moved into the leadoff spot, and Freddie Freeman left the game Sunday after getting hit on the wrist. Freeman's future availability is currently in question.
