When Francisco Álvarez was hit by a pitch yesterday to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning, Buck Showalter made the move that any manager would, sending in Tim Locastro to run for his catcher, needing him to go 270 feet to win the game.It turned out that Álvarez just could have scored as easily as Locastro did, as DJ Stewart singled, Mark Vientos walked, and Rafael Ortega laced the walkoff single to right field.The last time the Mets had a pinch-runner come in and score as part of a walkoff rally was three years ago today, Billy Hamilton in the seventh inning at Yankee Stadium, in a doubleheader nightcap where the Mets were the home team. In that one, Jeff McNeil walked against Aroldis Chapman, and Hamilton came in and stole second base before trotting home on Amed Rosario's two-run shot.In that instance, Hamilton represented the tying run. So did Juan Lagares when he scored on Dominic Smith's home run to end the 2019 season. But it is Lagares who was the previous Mets pinch-runner to bring home a walkoff run. On September 26, 2017, Kevin Plawecki greeted A.J. Minter with a single as the Mets were tied 3-3 with Atlanta. Smith walked and Rosario struck out before Travis Taijeron delivered the winning hit.There's been only one time in Mets history that a runner entered the game, stole a base, and scored the winning run, and it was in the 13th inning on April 23, 1992, after a duel between Bret Saberhagen and Donovan Osborne went scoreless into extras. The Mets had already caught Rex Hudler stealing in the 12th when Dave Magadan singled with one out in the 13th — he was replaced at first by Rodney McCray, who became famous the year before.You've seen that video a million times. You probably haven't seen McCray go to second on a Junior Noboa single, steal third, and after an intentional walk to Charlie O'Brien, score the winning run when Juan Agosto hit Daryl Boston with a pitch. Well, now you can, because that game is on YouTube, with Tim McCarver and Ralph Kiner on the call.Shoutout to Keith Miller, who pinch-ran for Garry Templeton after a leadoff single in the ninth inning of a 5-4 game, got picked off but advanced to second because Expos pitcher Barry Jones threw the ball away, then stole third and eventually scored on Kevin McReynolds' walkoff grand slam off Scott Ruskin. That was the last walkoff grand slam the Mets hit at Shea, following Mike Jorgensen in 1980 and Tim Teufel in 1986. Tim Harkness and Jim Hickman each did it in 1963 at the Polo Grounds, while Citi Field has had walkoff slams by Jordany Valdespin in 2013, Ike Davis in 2014, and José Bautista in 2018.

What a week it's been for the Halos! Although the Super Halo Bros. were uncertain about the Los Angeles Angels' season, the team has come up with some clutch victories courtesy of All-Stars Shohei Ohtani, Jared Walsh, and even Juan Lagares! The Bros. discuss the wild Wednesday that was in the Bronx against the New York Yankees, the sweep of the Baltimore Orioles over the weekend, wild walk-offs, and players like Adam Ottavino and fans alike displaying their jealousy of the greatness that is Shohei. While our Colorado-bound All-Stars have been making headlines, other Halos have shined bright, including David Fletcher and Raisel Iglesias. Mike makes a case for why it's not a good idea for Ohtani to participate in the MLB Home Run Derby, and Jon vehemently disagrees. With the 2021 MLB Draft soon approaching, the Bros. take a look at the last ten years worth of Angels 1st-round picks.

On this episode of Super Halo Bros., Mike begins with an apology to Jon and the listeners. Then, INJURIES! With players like Anthony Rendon, Max Stassi, Dexter Fowler, and Juan Lagares landing on the IL, who should the Angels call on to take their place in the field and the lineup? The brothers dive into the stats in our segment, "From Where I Sit," and take a look at some of the most interesting dynamics happening with this Angels team. Joe Maddon has been preaching, "Play like it's 1985," so what did the Angels look like back then? The Halos are wrapping up their road trip and headed back to Anaheim to take on the Minnesota Twins and the Texas Rangers, and Mike and Jon discuss what players like Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, and the pitching staff will need to do to keep holding on to first place in the American League West. Then, We've got the win-loss records for Matt Vasgersian and Daron Sutton and they games they've called so far in the 2021 MLB season! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jon-frisch/support

It didn't feel like this day would come in 2020, but MLB is set to kick off their season, and the Mets 60 game sprint is finally upon us. Unfortunately the black cloud of Flushing has already started raining on Citi Field as Marcus Stroman is injured, and our rotation is looking thin right out of the gate. Is it a big deal? Who knows, but any missed time is huge in this abbreviated season. This will be the first Opening Day in history where fans won't be in attendance, but the cutouts are waterproof, Juan Lagares is back, Matt Harvey won't be, it's #WomenInBaseballWeek, and more.

The New York Mets were handed devastating news on Wednesday, as Marcus Stroman hit the injured list with a tear in his calf muscle. With Stroman out for a few weeks at best, the Mets suddenly are left with very few viable options coming out of their rotation and no depth to deal with another injury. Other news that came out on Wednesday was the addition of Brian Dozier and the return of Juan Lagares through free agency. Along with making those additions, the Mets released two players. How have those moves impacted the Mets depth moving forward.

On this episode of ‘Giant Mess’, our host Neal Lynch talks about… 0:01:07 - 0:29:37 (APPLE PICKING AT THE WINERY) How my wife’s 30th birthday trip to the winery for apple picking in 2017 was ruined by our cable company Verizon Fios and cutting the cord. Trying to talk to parents of young children when you’re single vs. when you’re a parent of a young child trying to talk to someone without young children. My daughter likes boys, girls not so much. She’s also a ‘good eater’. I can’t take a compliment, especially when it comes to what I’m wearing. 0:29:52 - 0:45:25 (FRIDAY THE 13th) FandangNOW offered eight Friday the 13th movies for $13 and we bought it hook, line, and sinker. Why ‘80s movies have horrible pacing and way-too-long shots DYK Kevin Bacon is in this film? We all can’t believe hitchhiking was a thing Sexual harassment / objectification was RAMPANT That sweet sweet twist ending 0:45:32 - 1:14:00 (NIGHT TERRORS) I had one of my worst night terrors, so I ranked my all-time greatest night terrors and recounted all the times I got bullied growing up. 1:14:02 - 1:25:09 (TV) NBC announces lineup for their new streaming service called “Peacock” Netflix pays $500M to nab Seinfeld from Hulu HBO Max paid $600M to have ‘Big Bang Theory’ Breaking Down Guardian’s Top 100 TV Shows of 21st Century 1:25:10 - 1:43:08 (MOVIES) Terminator Dark Fate expected to bomb like X-Men: Dark Phoenix? Men in Black International with Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Liam Neeson, Rafe Spall, Emma Thompson, and Rebecca Ferguson. 1:43:10 - 1:57:34(METS) Mets sweep the Arizona Diamondbacks. I apologize to Marcus Stroman. Juan Lagares hits his first ever grand slam. Recapping the Dodgers series where our producers -- Peter Alonso, Jeff McNeil, Michael Conforto -- stopped producing and a bench player, Rajai Davis, was our best clutch hitter. Whoever makes the Mets schedule needs a reality check. Recapping the Rockies series so far == Steven Matz got rocked, Marcus Stroman hurls another gem, and will Noah Syndergaard come through? What will the final series against the Braves look like? Kudos to the Brewers and Cubs. 1:57:43 (GIANTS) The End of the Eli Manning Era? My ideal fantasy best case scenario for the Giants after naming Daniel Jones the starter and how the 3li prophecy can be fulfilled. 2:02:05 Reliving the four (4) Giants plays that made the NFL Network’s 100 Greatest Plays of All-Time: Carl Banks trying to tackle Randall Cunningham on Monday Night Football, Mark Bavaro’s catch and run against the 49ers on Monday Night Football, Mark Ingram’s catch and run in Super Bowl XXV against the Buffalo Bills, and 2:11:10 - Eli Manning to Mario Manningham in Super Bowl 46 against the New England Patriots. 2:15:00 - 2:49:00 Defending Eli Manning, breaking down the first half of Eli’s career (2004-2011) vs. the second half of his career (2012-2019). The awful 2012 draft. David Wilson’s career-ending injury. No stud RB. No stud TE. Below average offensive line. Below average defense. How benching Eli in 2017 wasn’t the wrong idea. "Giant Mess" is a sloppy show for NY Giants and Mets fans hosted by a Giants-Mets fan who's a giant mess.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, we’re pretty jazzed about how well the Mets have been playing, including the starting pitching stepping it up, Amed Rosario continuing to roll, Juan Lagares’ strong week, the solid addition of Joe Panik, the potential returns of Brandon Nimmo and Jed Lowrie, and more. But most of all, we’re excited about Pete Alonso breaking the single-season home run record for an NL rookie.  Next, we expand upon a previous discussion about attempts to expand the game to a younger audience, this time focusing on Major League Baseball’s partnerships with Facebook and YouTube, weighing the pros and cons of broadcasting games on those platforms.

We're almost to the end of the warm up period of the season as the real deal of Mets baseball is upon us! Opening Day is in one week and we at A Metsian Podcast cannot wait for the season to begin. To help us celebrate the end of Spring Training, we welcome “Catching Heat's” Helen Silfin to the program, LIVE at 9pm ET! Helen has been a Mets fan for as long as she can remember and despite her best efforts does not anticipate that changing anytime soon. She is particularly loyal to defense-first catchers. When Helen is not watching or talking about the Mets she is probably geeking out about theatre, baking cookies, or doing both at once on her @BroadwayCookies instagram account. Will both Dominic Smith and Pete Alonso, who have each had excellent springs, come north with the team? How exposed at center field are the Mets with neither Juan Lagares nor Keon Bronxton lighting it up? Is it possible the Mets will bring 3 catchers north with them? Which players will the infield depth bring us? Which 5 outfielders will head north with us? And what are we thinking about the new Netflix pricing model? So many burning questions, so little time! Can't wait to discuss it with Helen Silfin LIVE at 9pm ET on the latest edition of a Metsian Podcast!

Deadpool 2 not as good as the first one. Stony Brook Women's Lax tough loss to BC. Can Lebron bring back the Cavs? Will Vegas make the Stanley Cup? Former, no. Latter, yes.

Special guest star: Longtime MLB.com Mets beat reporter Anthony DiComo! This time around Brian and Roger talked about Matt Harvey's move to the bullpen (06:50), Yoenis Cespedes announcing he probably wont be denying himself the pleasure of golf much longer (20:00), Jay Bruce's struggles and Mickey Callaway's management of the outfield (24:40), and if the Phillies are legitimately scary (39:30) before offering the most positive of spins about the Mets' 2018 season so far (42:15). Then Anthony DiComo joined in to share his secrets on not going crazy after reporting on the Mets for over eight seasons (45:00), explain his Reel Big Fish intro song selection (47:40), what an off day for him is like (48:15), why Jay Horwitz always calls him 'Tony' (51:00), the biggest differences between a Mickey Callaway clubhouse and a Terry Collins clubhouse (52:00), how much input Mickey has compared to the front office (54:20), a Cespedes golf update (57:30), what Tomas Nido has to do to get more starts (59:25), if Brandon Nimmo is nicer than even Curtis Granderson (01:01:30), Jay Bruce continuing to start over Juan Lagares and Nimmo (01:03:00), the possibility of Bruce playing first base this season (01:05:20), Bruce and Todd Frazier's lack of best friendship (01:06:40), the lack of humor on #MetsTwitter (01:09:30), hat sizes (01:11:00), and ending the interview as awkwardly as possible (01:13:55). Then after Brian decided to worry about Noah Syndergaard's foul ball rates (01:18:00), the mailbag segment featured a question about Shohei Ohtani's MVP chances (01:23:00), Harvey's future (01:28:10), the possibly overworked Mets bullpen (01:31:30), and what happens if Cespedes golfs and still doesn't get out of his slump (01:41:00).

Fake Baseball is over. Time for Real Baseball and a new Good Fundies, where Roger and Brian keep it professional with Addy Baird from ThinkProgress. After discussing the new members of the Good Fundies family and how the youth communicate these days, the boys talked about Rafael Montero's injury (14:30), Zack Wheeler's demotion (20:00), Steven Matz and Matt Harvey's futures (28:50), Noah Syndergaard's potential (33:00), Jason Vargas' Jason Vargasness (37:00), Michael Conforto starting the year on the DL (39:30), Phillip Evans (41:30), Wilmer Flores potentially winning the 1B job (44:45), Brandon Nimmo beating out Juan Lagares for CF (47:00), and their predictions on how many wins the Mets will have by the end of this season (50:45). Then Addy Baird schooled the boys on 'The Bachelor' (01:02:45), which Met would be the best Bachelor (01:07:15), the Mets' zodiac sign disadvantages (01:13:15), and how she became a Mets fan from Utah (01:26:45). In the mailbag segment, the two pontificated on minor league baseball's extra innings rule change (01:52:00), if Wilmer will be worse in the outfield than Todd Hundley or Daniel Murphy (01:56:00), if Dave Eiland is a refreshing change (02:00:40), and if the Mets are closer to a World Series title than blowing the whole thing up and starting again (02:04:30).

A Metsian Podcast with Sam, Rich and Mike reconvenes this Spring Training to talk about how, well, nothing seems to be different this spring...Vargas now has an injury, Same Yoenis Cespedes injury drama, this time in the form of a cortisone shot...I could go on and on.  But could we expect a snap of the finger to fix the dysfunctionality? No. That is a process, and that process will have bumps and bruises...but maybe we'll get there?  There is some good news on the horizon as it seems Michael Conforto is ahead of schedule...but The Juan Lagares situation is as foggy as ever and Rafael Montero is still on the team. Oy. Well, anyway, join us at 2pm ET and we'll discuss some Metsian stuff on this Sunday afternoon.

Hey you fellow Swarziaks, it's the first Good Fundies episode of 2018! Brian and Roger returned to talk about Anthony Swarzak (03:00), their new year's resolutions (11:15), the legitimately surprising end result to Roger writing about Keith Hernandez's connections to Richard Nixon and Donald Trump (21:15), the return of Omar Minaya (36:00), Ken Rosenthal calling Mets fans 'shrill' (44:35), and why so many free agents remain available in baseball (01:00:10). Then in the mailbag, the two are asked if the Winter Classic will be the best game at Citi Field all season (01:03:08), if Brandon Nimmo is ready for a breakout year and if Juan Lagares should be dealt (01:07:20), the chances of Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom staying healthy all next year (01:16:00), if Dominic Smith will be the starting first baseman (01:20:00), which Met is each Star Wars movie (01:31:00), and more. Note: Roger will tell his Mets employee tale next time. He apologizes for the tease. Thank you to The Kinks for the music.

Mo Wilkerson please help me understand why you can't make meetings on time. Carmelo glad you got the video tribute but I like the Knicks more without here. Knicks 16-13 and got first win of the season without Unicorn in the lineup.

Los Indios buscan establecer marca de victorias seguidas en una temporada. Washington primero en clasificar a la postemporada como cabeza de división. Los Dodgers siguen en mala racha. Entrevistas con Eugenio Suárez, Juan Lagares y Luis Castillo. El Mundo de las Grandes Ligas con Kevin Cabral y Félix DeJesús.

Brandon Nimmo smashed two homers and Juan Lagares went yard, while Matt Harvey tossed five innings in the Mets' 7-2 victory. Terry Collins discusses the win

Brian returned to tell Roger what it's like to watch Mets games without social media (07:30) before getting into all of the things Brian didn't get to talk about over the last two weeks: the Binghamton Rumble Ponies making the playoffs (14:25), Robert Gsellman conceding apathy (16:10), Jay Bruce joining Twitter (18:12), Michael Conforto's injury (20:27), Brian's long desired Nori Aoki finally becoming a Met and if he would have been a better signing than Michael Cuddyer (25:50), Yoenis Cespedes' injury (29:10), Brian's conspiracy theory on David Wright's latest setback (33:45), Wilmer Flores breaking his own nose on his own foul ball (45:50), Rafael Montero continuing to not be awful (49:50), Kevin Plawecki showing his promise (53:30), Matt Harvey's predictably controversial return to the majors (57:28), Noah Syndergaard's rehab (01:10:25), Juan Lagares proving he should be the 2018 starting center fielder (01:12:50), the good news and bad news about Brandon Nimmo (01:16:00),

Roger said goodbye to Neil Walker (01:30) and Brian was forced to be nice and bid adieu to Jay Bruce (05:30), whom he does not hate personally. The two then dissected the Mets trades made in the past week (13:00), and if it's generally okay to trade with the Yankees or the Nationals (23:00). After that they put Dominic Smith through the infamous 'Soup or Savior' test (35:40) wondered why Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez kept saying Brian's name over and over again on Sunday's Mets broadcast after they read his question on the air (53:00), and if they listen to the podcast (58:35). In the mailbag the boys answered questions about Travis d'Arnaud (01:10:00), Neil Walker (01:17:40), Amed Rosario (01:21:00), Ike Davis (01:22:30), Brandon Nimmo (01:26:04), Juan Lagares (01:29:30), Lorenzo Cain (01:33:50), Wilmer Flores and TJ Rivera (01:39:20), and Hansel Robles (01:47:40)

Homers by Michael Conforto and Juan Lagares weren't enough as the Mets fell to the D-backs, 5-4, in extra innings.

Hey there, sports fans! Welcome to another episode. This is probably our most disjointed episode to date, as we're more all over the place than a hyperactive five-year-old who just polished off a bag of Fun Dip before entering a jungle gym. It was still a great show, though.  Blevins is back. Was it exciting, or were Mets fans just excited that Sandy made a move? 10 Mets are going to the WBC. It's a bad idea. Plus, we decide who the Mets' version of Charles Oakley is, and express disgust at the fact that Juan Lagares is working out at a Planet Fitness.  It's all here, on First Time Long Time. Enjoy, and Let's Go Mets.

Even though the Mets are keeping pace in the NL East with their dominant starting pitching, the injury bug has bitten the Amazins again this week. With David Wright heading to the DL and Juan Lagares with a partial ligament tear, MLB.com's Tim McMaster and Mets reporter Anthony DiComo talk about how New York plans on managing their recent rash of injuries. They also discuss what James Loney can do to fill in at first base and what fans can except from the Mets in the 2016 MLB Draft.

Spring Training is tantalizingly close, friends, which means it is time for your position-by-position previews of the 2016 Mets to commence! In Episode 172 of Amazin' Avenue Audio, Jeffrey and Lukas discuss the Mets outfield, and it is in glowing terms. For starters, there will probably only be five of them, and they are all cromulent major leaguers. We talk Cespedes as center fielder, Conforto as stealth MVP candidate, and the overlooked Cutis Granderson, before debating if Juan Lagares can bounce back and spending much less time on Alejandro de Aza then we thought we would. Then it is time for your e-mails on topics ranging from a Jacob deGrom extension, to Mets-inspired craft beers, to Kelly Secrest. Jeffrey even throws in a somewhat disorganized Jenrry Mejia rant for good measure. Finally we close with an IFK Goteborg update and a very NSFW pop culture recommendation.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What's the secret to increasing the Mets' happiness when it comes to their lineup? Will they look to add a defensive weapon in the outfield with Juan Lagares playing at less than 100 percent? Mets reporter Anthony DiComo joins the Statcast podcast to explain what the team needs to make a playoff push. Plus, Dave Cameron, editing manager at Fangraphs, joins Statcast to explain why some of the return trades we see could be disappointing, discuss whether or not Mike Trout could be having his best season yet at the age of 23 and why WAR needs to be more uniform across baseball.

In the "And his hair was perfect" edition, Greg and Jeffrey are obligated to do the usual midseason review stuff we guess. But first Greg sings the praises of Kevin McReynolds, while Jeffrey sings the praises of fringy Jewish platoon dudes. Then we talk about the Mets first half and Jeffrey takes on Greg and the internet on the subject of Juan Lagares. Then we answer you e-mails about...uh, Juan Lagares, the fringiest of  fringy prospects, and shirseys. But hey, at least it isn't as long as an MTV Alternative music video show this week.

In the "#sandysmess" edition, Steve and Jeffrey discuss the benefits of camel milk, shake shack express lines, and the Juan Lagares extension. We also debate Rafael Montero vs. Dillon Gee, celebrate the return of Cesar Puello, and answer eight of your e-mails. There is also of course an (abbreviated) Swedish soccer update and a lot of Wrestlemania talk. I guess it's Armbar Avenue Audio this week, but hey, it's also the last podcast before actual Mets baseball, you guys! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the "The Assassination of Oliver Perez by the Coward Jerry Manuel" edition, Jeffrey and Aaron discuss all the new left-handed relievers the Mets have acquired. We break down both deals and discuss Steve Schreiber's MS Paintz skills, Alex Torres' haberdashery, and what the Mets gave up to shore up the 2015 pen. We also wonder if this is a precursor to a Dillon Gee trade (so far, not so much). We'll be back later in the week with your e-mails and our take on the Juan Lagares extension.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 163 The latest episode of “The Sleeper and the Bust” is now live! Eno Sarris and Nicholas Minnix talk, among other topics that include a very interesting tangent or two, Homer Bailey, in light of just announced surgery news; the benching of Colby Rasmus; Joc Pederson’s consecutive starts; Juan Lagares and the directive to […]
