Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Blackburn

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo check in as the Mets are making waves on the west coast, and also announce some cool giveaways back here at home! First up, the guys discuss a winning week over the White Sox and Rockies heading into a showdown with the Dodgers in LA, which included highlights from Francisco Alvarez, Paul Blackburn, Juan Soto, and Francisco Lindor. Later, Connor and Joe examine the big league opportunity now presented to Ronny Mauricio due to the injury to Mark Vientos.  Dan Abrams from Athlete Logos then joins the show to talk about the pulse of the Mets fanbase, the healthy return of the Kodai Senga and the Ghost Fork this season, and also helps reveal some special merchandise giveaways in partnership with the pod! Finally, the show goes Down on the Farm to talk about the process of player development, and answers Mailbag questions about the state of the starting rotation today and moving forward.

The Mets are back in LA for the first time since Game 6 of the 2024 NLCS and Carlos Mendoza met with Keith Raad ahead of the game to discuss last year's series along with his expectations for Paul Blackburn's first start off the injured list.

The Mets took a tight one to open their series against the Dodgers and after the game Keith Raad and Pat McCarthy spoke with Brandon Nimmo to recap the victory and the start from Paul Blackburn.

NY Mets vs. LA Dodgers MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Mets at Dodgers 10PM ET—Paul Blackburn will start for NY. Blackburn makes his 2025 debut after knee inflammation. He started 14 games in 2024 with an ERA of 4.66 and WHIP of 1.29. The right hander fanned 22.4% with 9.3% walks. Ground balls are 41.3% with 0.95 home runs per nine innings.

It's been a long recovery for Paul Blackburn, but the pitcher is set to come off the IL on Monday. He speaks with Pat McCarthy about making his return.

Spring Training rolls on, and so does *The Put it in the Books Show*! This week, the full crew is back together as Rodriguez makes his triumphant return from the IL—though he insists he was just "day-to-day." Join Farace, Keith, and Producer Joe (still lurking behind the wall) as they break down the latest Mets news with the usual mix of dry humor, analysis, and a little well-earned skepticism. First up: injuries. Sean Manaea is progressing after his oblique injury, while Jeff McNeil is hurt again—something Rodriguez blames on too much golf. The big question: does this injury cost McNeil his job? With Brett Baty now set to platoon with Luisangel Acuña at second base, the Mets may be looking at a future without their scrappy contact hitter. On the mound, David Peterson continues to step up, making a strong case for himself in the rotation. Meanwhile, the Mets have named Clay Holmes their Opening Day starter, a move that could be brilliant or a complete wildcard. With Tylor Megill and Paul Blackburn looking to solidify roles as well, the Mets' pitching depth is getting its first real test. And let's talk culture. Is this the best team culture the Mets have ever had? With stars, depth, and a front office that actually knows what it's doing, the guys will debate whether this is truly a new era in Queens or if we're all just drinking the Spring Training Kool-Aid. Tune in as the crew dissects the latest Mets developments, welcomes Rodriguez back into the fold, and gets ready for Opening Day. The countdown is on—let's put it in the books!

The Mets manager speaks with Keith Raad and provides an update on Paul Blackburn and the team ahead of the third game of the series against the Padres

The Mets manager speaks with the media and provides an injury update about Paul Blackburn following the Mets loss to the San Diego Padres

Mets starting pitcher speaks with the media about his outing against the Padres and the injury he sustained to his wrist

The Mets right hander discusses hit outing against the Miami Marlins in the series finale

Al's question to Aaron Rodgers about the Malaysian Air conspiracy has gone viral in the conspiracy community. This could be Al's crowning achievement. Jerry returns for an update but first we get a conspiracy update from Tom Izzo. Jerry begins with BT and Sal delivering another double entendre. Juan Soto hit three home runs but the White Sox walked him so he couldn't get number four. Jazz Chisholm Jr. has a UCL injury and Boomer reminds us diving into any base is dangerous. Paul Blackburn struggled in his Citi Field debut. Gio says he would fight that voice but everyone else is not sure. Austin Adams mocked the Mets “OMG” celebration after escaping a jam. Jeff Francoeur told a great story about getting out of a spring training game to golf with Tiger Woods. What kind of dog would Daniel Jones be? Dan Marino made a bad financial decision when being compensated for Ace Ventura. Sam Rosen is retiring after this season. In the final segment of the hour, we continue to compare Daniel Jones to a dog and discuss how the Giants need more toughness. Boomer wants to see what Daniel Jones can do with more opportunity.

Hour 1 Gio is back in studio and happy just like Yankee fans are after Juan Soto hit three home runs last night. Gio is concerned that the Yankees will lose Soto. Boomer says the Mets wasted an opportunity to gain ground in the last week. The Mets have to stop the bleeding immediately. The Mets probably won't go on a run because their pitching isn't good enough. Boomer remembers an old cliche about pitching that possibly started with Connie Mack. Boomer thinks Gio and others at the radio station are too negative. Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first Boomer quizzes Gio and Jerry on some sports business figures. The Knicks and Rangers playoff runs made MSG a billion dollars. NFL teams make so much money and Boomer wants that to go to the players. Juan Soto crushed three home runs last night and the Yankees beat the White Sox. What teams will make $500 million offers to Soto? Malik Nabers has no doubt he will be ready for week 1. In the final segment of the hour, a listener sent Boomer a Precious Achiuwa rookie card and Gio replays a great point from BT about where Robert Saleh should be when it comes to Aaron Rodgers. Hour 2 Al's question to Aaron Rodgers about the Malaysian Air conspiracy has gone viral in the conspiracy community. This could be Al's crowning achievement. Jerry returns for an update but first we get a conspiracy update from Tom Izzo. Jerry begins with BT and Sal delivering another double entendre. Juan Soto hit three home runs but the White Sox walked him so he couldn't get number four. Jazz Chisholm Jr. has a UCL injury and Boomer reminds us diving into any base is dangerous. Paul Blackburn struggled in his Citi Field debut. Gio says he would fight that voice but everyone else is not sure. Austin Adams mocked the Mets “OMG” celebration after escaping a jam. Jeff Francoeur told a great story about getting out of a spring training game to golf with Tiger Woods. What kind of dog would Daniel Jones be? Dan Marino made a bad financial decision when being compensated for Ace Ventura. Sam Rosen is retiring after this season. In the final segment of the hour, we continue to compare Daniel Jones to a dog and discuss how the Giants need more toughness. Boomer wants to see what Daniel Jones can do with more opportunity.  Hour 3 The Mets wake up from their nap. The Yankees have all the pieces needed to win but have to hope Jazz Chisholm's injury isn't serious. An overnight caller known for pushing buttons tries to get under Boomer's skin. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Juan Soto's big night in the Windy City. The Mets had another embarrassing loss, this one at home against the A's. Austin Adams had fun at their expense. Gio can't wait to see Malik Nabers in game action. How common is it for legends to be around their former teams? Sam Rosen will retire after his 40th season in the booth. We look at numbers 31-100 on the Top 100 Giants list. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer and Gio agree that Robert Saleh sounded different yesterday and that's a good thing. Gio believes the adversity the Jets faced last year will help prepare them for this season. Hour 4 The whole show will be together for four days next week and Boomer is realizing how many days of his life he is getting back now that he won't be on The NFL Today. A caller is upset the Mets didn't sell at the trade deadline since they are now coming back to earth but Boomer and Gio agree that was not really an option. SNY's Kidcaster calls in with his dad. They want to know what he should wear when he calls an inning next week. Jerry is here for his final update of the day and begins with the positive, meaning the Yankees and Juan Soto. How does a cement truck overturn? That will lead to brutal traffic for Boomer and Gio on their drives home. Gio got stuck in the “Peter Schwartz-field” at Jets camp yesterday. The Moment of The Day involves a suggestion Brandon Tierney has for Robert Saleh and Aaron Rodgers. In the final segment of the show, there's never too much golf.

SHOW OPEN. Mets lose a bad one against the A's and Paul Blackburn has a bad outing at the bump as Keith reacts to it. SHOW OPEN

The Mets starter talks today after a rough outing against his former team giving up 7 runs in 4 innings in the Mets 9-4 loss.

New Mets pitcher Paul Blackburn speaks to the media after picking up the win in his first start as a Met.

Paul Blackburn threw six strong innings in his first start as a Met to lead New York to a series opening win against the Angels.

The NFL's new kickoff debuted last night and Gio is not a fan. We could really be headed for two-hand touch in the NFL. Which famous landmarks around the world are overrated? Jerry returns for his final update of the day but first we discuss the traffic yesterday being worse than ever. In general it has been rough lately. John Mara still believes in Daniel Jones. He expects big things and said that the offensive line didn't block for Jones last season. Jerry has a suggestion for a family bet. He wants to get crazy and bet the White Sox -1.5 runs to win and end their losing streak. Paul Blackburn will meet his new Mets teammates today. Hopefully he doesn't stink. The Moment of The Day involves Gio setting up “win/loss” as only Mad Dog could. In the final segment of the day, Gio says the Mets and Yankees better keep playing well while he's on vacation. We will be at Jets camp when Gio returns from Italy. Hopefully Aaron Rodgers isn't as awkward this year. Al went on a cruise to Bermuda. Maybe the Mets and Yankees will go undefeated while Boomer and Gio are on vacation.

Gio is worried about the future of the NFL after seeing the new kickoff rule in action last night. He has become the old man grumbling that he used to mock. Is this just the tip of the iceberg? Boomer says no. Gio thinks this is a more radical rule change than anything he's seen, including the ghost runner in extra innings. Boomer thinks the rule will lead to more offense and maybe more kicker injuries. Jerry is here for his first update and has the play-by-play call of the riveting first kickoff with the new rule. Adam Schein is all-in on Caleb Williams and the Bears winning a Super Bowl within five years. Boomer says the Cowboys have no choice but to pay Dak Prescott, who has earned a big contract. Paul Blackburn will make his Mets debut tonight. Feel the excitement. Pat LaFrieda joined Evan & Tiki and made a comment about men eating his meat. Did he know what he was saying or was it a happy accident? In the final segment of the hour, Gio tells us that Jordan Davis had Caitlin Clark on stage with him last night. We take some credit for helping launch his career with the boat party. Danielle McCartan left us a diffuser after last weekend's studio spill.

We take some credit for helping launch his career with the boat party. Danielle McCartan left us a diffuser after last weekend's studio spill. Hour 2 Boomer wonders what Anthony Rizzo's role will be if/when he returns from the injured list. Gio thinks he will be a part-time player. The Yankees have some questions but Gio says the biggest one is will they hit in the postseason. Boomer reminds Gio that he predicted Christan Scott's injury. He says the same thing about every young pitcher. After yesterday's show we learned that Imane Khelif is not transgender. She was born a woman with a genetic condition that led to her not meeting certain eligibility requirements. Jerry is back for an update but first Gio has us guess which headline is real.It's another stumper as Boomer and Jerry can't believe a man inserted a 26 inch eel up his anus. Scottie Scheffler gave a very Jerry-like quote about life ending and being forgotten. Amani Toomer ripped Caleb Williams on Craig Carton's show. Justin Herbert has a foot injury. Boomer says watch out for that achilles. Mike Trout is out for the season. Barstool's Frankie Borrelli, who Boomer and Gio golfed with, was out on the course with Mathew Barzal. In the final segment of the hour, Gio reveals that our friends at Shinesty have reached out to French diver Jules Bouyer, who has a large package that we discussed recently. A caller has a good line about the fella who stuck the eel up his anus.  Hour 3 Gio points out that Jerry has been on a roll with predictions lately. Jerry thinks the Giants can have a winning season and the Jets will be in the Super Bowl. Gio believes in the Jets because of Jerry but tells everyone to pump the brakes with the Giants. Most people around football think they will be terrible. Gio recalls how Mike and the Mad Dog's “win/loss” segments used to sound. Ryan Tannehill could be this year's Joe Flacco. A delusional caller says Daniel Jones is Peyton Manning Jr. Gio believes Jones must be GREAT, not just good, to stop the Giants from moving on. Jerry returns for an update but first tells us how he got poison ivy. He has a large rash on his arm. Jerry has another rodent problem in his backyard. Mike Tomlin askes EA Sports for a visual of the new kickoff rules. You can ask a hotel concierge for virtual reality porn. John Mara didn't want to let Saquon go but trusted his football people. The Jets have a lot riding on Will McDonald this year. A big stretch for the Mets begins in Anaheim tonight. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer and Gio react to the NFL Sunday Ticket verdict getting overturned. Gio plans on cleaning up all his subscriptions when he returns from Italy. Hour 4 The NFL's new kickoff debuted last night and Gio is not a fan. We could really be headed for two-hand touch in the NFL. Which famous landmarks around the world are overrated? Jerry returns for his final update of the day but first we discuss the traffic yesterday being worse than ever. In general it has been rough lately. John Mara still believes in Daniel Jones. He expects big things and said that the offensive line didn't block for Jones last season. Jerry has a suggestion for a family bet. He wants to get crazy and bet the White Sox -1.5 runs to win and end their losing streak. Paul Blackburn will meet his new Mets teammates today. Hopefully he doesn't stink. The Moment of The Day involves Gio setting up “win/loss” as only Mad Dog could. In the final segment of the day, Gio says the Mets and Yankees better keep playing well while he's on vacation. We will be at Jets camp when Gio returns from Italy. Hopefully Aaron Rodgers isn't as awkward this year. Al went on a cruise to Bermuda. Maybe the Mets and Yankees will go undefeated while Boomer and Gio are on vacation.

The New York Yankees lost to the Oakland A's on Monday afternoon, but that wasn't the day's biggest story. No, the biggest story was Aaron Boone getting ejected by home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt after a fan said something to him. It was a comedy of errors. After the game, Wendelstedt did not take accountability and doubled down on his seemingly foolish decision to eject an MLB manager from a game even after he shut his mouth. We have quotes from Wendelstedt and a new feature that we probably should have started way back in 2018, but better late than never. Then we discuss the game even though there's not much to discuss offensively, which is a problem. Carlos Rodón looked good, but the Yankees could only muster three hits, all singles against JP Sears, who was part of the now infamous Frankie Montas/Lou Trivino trade of 2022. Then we preview the second game of this four-game set between the A's and Yankees. It will be Marcus Stroman against Paul Blackburn. Join the LOY Insiders Club! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonyankeesWhat is the insider's club? https://youtu.be/BItWi-kbIJY?t=1468Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH5857VCyYLAzsWr9vHk4sQSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DoorDashGet all your Mother's Day gifts, all in one place and get 50% off your next order, up to $15 when you spend $15+ on your next flower, convenience, grocery, or retail order now with code LOCKEDONMLB.
