Podcasts about ya gotta believe

This week on *The Put it in the Books Show*, excitement is at an all-time high for Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and a mysteriously quiet Producer Joe hiding behind the wall as the Mets cling to a 1-game lead over the Braves (or as we like to call them, “Craplanta”) for the last wild card spot. With only 17 games left, things are getting as intense as Farace's fantasy football drafts, but this time it's actually about a sport that matters. The next stretch is going to be a battle as the Mets face the Phillies (affectionately nicknamed “the Filthies”) in 7 of the next 10 games, and the team is showing a never-surrender attitude that would make even Keith believe in miracles—or at least in consistent starting pitching. The Mets have won 13 of their last 15 games, and with Lindor making a serious MVP case, this is prime “Ya Gotta Believe” season. With playoff hopes alive and a rocking Citi Field crowd to back them up, the excitement is palpable. Join us as we break down the final sprint toward October, making sure to sprinkle in some dry humor about Rodriguez's obsession with hitting stats and Producer Joe's continued role as the most elusive figure in podcasting. It's an exciting time to be a Mets fan—don't miss out! #PiitB #Mets

50 years ago this week, the Mets lost and fell back into the cellar in the National League East. Five short weeks later, they would finish the season at the top. And then, shortly thereafter, facing the A's in the World Series. Mike and Bill look back at one of the most remarkable and unlikely comebacks of all time, and just how the Mets turned a joke of a slogan into the rallying cry of all rallying cries. Plus, happy birthday to Bing Miller and Ernie Broglio!

A rough week for the 'ol Redlegs, but Chad and Nate are here to tell you not to lose faith. This team has the same flaws they had before the recent losing streak, but they're also just as fun. #Believe We also discussed the debut of Christian Encarnacion-Strand, the future for Jonathan India, and this week's Reds Hall of Fame induction.

This week on The Metsian Podcast, we welcome Lauren from Queens! Lauren is a middle school special education teacher in the borough. She's been a Mets fan her entire life. Her love for the game and the team comes from her dad; she grew up going to games at Shea with her parents. Playing softball growing up, she was convinced that she was going to be exactly like her favorite player, Mike Piazza. She has "Ya Gotta Believe" tattooed on her wrist, and tries to live by that motto. You can find her on twitter @CalmYourMitts. Nothing is going right for the New York Metsies right now; when the pitching is good, the offense doesn't exist, and when the offense cranks it, the pitching falters. We'll have a hearty conversation about why all this is. And Lauren will find parellels in her fandom of the Mets with one of her favorite TV shows, Ted Lasso, which is just wrapping up its third season on Apple TV+. SUBSCRIBE ON APPLE

Shiur given to the Mesivta by Rabbi Noam Peikes at Thursday Night Seder. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY.

M: 4. E: 5.

The Mets and A's are all tied up at two games apiece, with one final game at Shea Stadium before the series heads back to Oakland. New York sends veteran lefty Jerry Koosman (14 - 15, 2.84 ERA 263 IP) to the mound, having yet to lose a postseason game in his career (5 GS, 3 - 0, 4.09 ERA 32.2 IP). Oakland manager Dick Williams counters with former Cy Young and MVP Vida Blue (20 - 9, 3.28 263 IP), who has yet to win a playoff game in his career (12 G, 5 GS, 0 - 3 5.73 33 IP). Neither manager had to turn to their respective relief aces, Tug McGraw and Rollie Fingers, in the Mets blowout win in game four, so expect both to be called upon in high leverage situations. The Mets look to continue their excellent run of pitching, the staff sporting a combine 1.67 ERA coming into this game. Both teams are looking to clean up the defense, as costly errors have played a major role so far in this series. Who will gain control and place themselves just one win away from a World Series Championship? Tune in to this excellent game 5 five.

To all of the Uncle Stevie haters, of which there were WAY TOO MANY, crawl back into your holes because you're never seeing the light of day again after this. The richest owner in baseball did what we knew he would do and spent more money over the course of 5 days than anyone could have even imagined! Maxwell Scherzer is a New York Metropolitan, Eppler obliterated the AAV record and Mad Max will be earning a yearly income that eclipses full franchises! That's what Steve Cohen does! He listens to your criticisms, tells you to go scratch and then drops his wallet on the table and moves mountains. There is no going back after this, the guard has been changed, the league is on notice and the Amazin's have the largest payroll in Major League Baseball. You thought the 5-year plan was a stretch? Well we just kicked into hyperdrive so you better buckle up bitch cause where we're going we don't need (holiday) roads. CASH IS KING, COHEN IS KING, YA GOTTA BELIEVE.

Good afternoon, Mets Legends Faithful. On this episode, Rob and Mike J. catch up and decompress on a Mets off day. While the Mets aren't mathematically out of the playoffs, the chances of sneaking in are slim. Ya Gotta Believe, right? Regardless, Rob explores Javy Baez's free agency and offers some external options to replace him if they choose to go that route. Mike J. then talks about how dazzling Marcus Stroman has been, and both him and Rob agree he needs to be re-signed. Join for the Mets discourse, stay for the mentions of players like Ricardo Rincon.

This episode is centered around “success.” We talk about how to find success (hint: persistence) through the lens of the Mets! Later, Julian Glander tells us about his “art world” origin story (which, spoiler, starts on Threadless), about still having professional fears even after becoming a “household illustration name,” and why he would prefer to be Ash than a Pokemon.

Smitty talks to the people before the Phillies take down a 4 game SWEEP of the Nationals to only trail the Mets by .5 games before the big series this weekend. Also, Ben Simmons - Dick? And Deshaun Watson to the Eagles? We'll hang up and listen.

This week's guest is Jeff McMahon. He has the most incredible career in the music industry. He was the keyboardist and vocalist for Tim McGraw's band The Dancehall Doctors for 18 years. Jeff wasn't with Tim from the beginning but early enough before Indian Outlaw came out, so let's say once he hired Jeff, Tim's career took off. Jeff even played "Live Like You're Dying" at the Country Music Awards. A song so special it took on a life of its own, shooting up the charts in record time, breaking a thirty-year record for consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Charts. Jeff also wrote the last chapter for Baseball legend Tug McGraw's autobiography "Ya Gotta Believe." He also ran marathons to raise awareness funds to advocate for the Tug McGraw Foundation while supporting research for brain tumor patients. Tug, was diagnosed back in 2003 with a brain tumor, yet he decided to continue moving forward. Jeff McMahon, has the biggest heart in Nashville, and in this episode, he discusses why we should "Live Life Like You're Dying," How To Move Forward, and why we "Gotta Believe." He also shares lessons from the road to help immerging artists find the success that he's had.

It's baseball in March and April again! Feels like a bygone era... Jody and Thomas are back to talk their hopes and expectations in what could be an exciting NL East in 2021.

In 1973 I interviewed Willie Mays and Tug McGraw, during a New York Mets media day for radio stations on the Mets' network. At the time, I was a teenager interning at the radio station in my hometown of Torrington, CT. Dan Lovallo interviews Willie Mays To say I was nervous to interview arguably the greatest player in the game in Mays, would be an understatement. The interview was awkward and lasted about 75 seconds, but I am including it in this podcast, because how often does a teen get to interview Willie Mays? I am also including the interview with McGraw, who died in 2004, because it was the opposite of the Mays' interview. The closer for the Mets was gracious, perhaps sensing how nervous and young I was. Coincidentally, the father of award-winning country singer Tim McGraw, turned out to be one of the vital cogs for the Mets that season. He led a dramatic September comeback. The Mets went from last place in the Eastern Division to winning it and advancing to the World Series, before losing to the Oakland Athletics. And it was McGraw who coined the phrase "Ya Gotta Believe," during the Mets furious drive to the top. I hope you enjoy both interviews.

Rabbi Cosgrove finds parallels between the life of the incomparable Mets pitcher, Tom Seaver, and the message of the Torah reading: wherever we are today is not where we can be tomorrow. As we approach Rosh Hashanah, let us all act with strength and courage to make tomorrow a better day.For more information about services and programs at Park Avenue Synagogue, visit our website at https://pasyn.org.

It's finally back. A short 60 game season, but Jody and Thomas are here to talk all about it. Of course, 2020 moves super fast, so the Juan Soto news broke just as we finished, but a chat about all things Atlanta Braves, Miami Marlins, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals ahead of the start of baseball again.

Amazing Grace Traditional arr. Keith McCutchen (b. 1964) Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but now am found, was blind, but now, I see. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come. ‘Twas grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me on. When we've been here ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we've first begun. — John Newton (b. 1725-1807) and William Cowper (1731-1800) “Amazing Grace” was performed by the Houston Chamber Choir, accompanied by pianist Andreea Muţ, and conducted by guest conductor Anton Armstrong at the 2015-2016 season's “Ya Gotta Believe.”

Eternal Father, Strong to Save John Dykes (1823-1876) arr. Dan Forrest (b. 1978) Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bond restless wave, Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy word, Who walkedst on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage did sleep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. Most Holy Spirit, Who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult cease, And give, for wild confusion, peace, Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. Oh, Trinity of love and pow'r, Our brethren shield in danger's hour From rock and tempest, fire, and foe; Protect them wheresoe'er they go. Thus ever more shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Amen. — William Whiting (1825-1878) “Eternal Father, Strong to Save” was conducted by guest conductor Anton Armstrong and performed by the Houston Chamber Choir with accompanist Andreea Muț at the 2015-2016 season's “Ya Gotta Believe.”

No baseball for a while. No point in speculating when it'll be back, so Jody and Thomas decided to have a chinwag about everything from the 2019 World Series, the Astros being cheaters, Zach Wheeler going from Thomas' to Jody's team, and a little bit of gaming chat, with The Show and OOTP being released in quick succession. Enjoy!

The Nationals are in the World Series! How did this happen? Jody and Thomas are here to break it down. We also look ahead to their opponents, as the Yankees and Astros continue to battle in the NLCS.

Jody and Thomas return to review a video nasty in Game 5 for the Braves. Also, the Nationals won a playoff series! Nats knock off the Dodgers, and we preview the NLCS matchup with the Cardinals.

The hosts dissect their respective team's seasons as both the Phillies and Mets are eliminated from postseason contention in the last few days. There's a quick preview of the Braves and Nationals in the postseason, and their chances of making some noise in October.

Jody and Thomas are back to talk a little drop of from the Nationals, but not enough that there's cause for concern, the Phillies and Mets and their Wild Card chances, and then a long discussion about the spike in home runs this season and the absurd rate they've gone up.

When do we seek God? When there are only problems? What is our motivation? Jesus accepted all who sought Him, for whatever their motivations. Jesus wants relationship with everyone, whether they seek him for healing, for guidance, for reassurance of faith, or just for that relationship. The Love of God is for all, at no cost and with no preconceptions.

Since we were last here, the Mets and Phillies have slid away from playoff contention. They play each other this week though, so you never know. But it looks like Braves are gonna walk the division and the Nats will host the Wildcard game. Jody and Thomas are back to talk all about it.

As the calendar is about to flip to September, our boys are still hunting down a spot in the playoffs. The Cubs are coming to town, then the Mets head down to Philly and DC. This next week is huge, as is every game down the stretch. Pete Alonso crushed his 41st bomb of the season, deGrom has been stellar as usual, the Players Weekend jerseys were horrible, Todd Frazier might be riding the bench soon, McNeil is back from injury, Nimmo should be soon, Edwin Diaz might be hurt, and Jed Lowrie is actually doing baseball stuff down in Florida.

The top four teams have all won multiple games in a row at the time of recording. Is it possible the Wildcard Game will be an all NL East affair?

Well, apart from the Marlins. The Mets hot streak has got them right back into the Wildcard chase, and with the Nats in and the Phils just on the outside, the NL East is really hotting up.

The Mets have won 7 in a row. Thomas is happy. They're only four games back of the Wildcard now. Is it possible they can get into contention? Probably not, but we talk that and all of the NL East moves at the trade deadline.

Recorded days ago, we chatted about the Class of 2019 in Cooperstown, and who from the NL East may or may not make it into the Hall in the future.

After declaring the division a two horse race last week, the Phillies have a chance to get even closer this weekend against a scuffling Braves. Can the Braves get back on track, or is their 6 game trip to Philadelphia and Washington about to open the race? Jody and Thomas also wonder if anyone will be traded between now and the deadline on Wednesday.

As the Braves cool off a little, the Nationals continue to surge. We discuss whether the division is between those two, and what moves may be made in the NL East as the trade deadline approaches in 12 days time.

He had baseball in his blood. He just didn't know the truth about who he was, until a family secret changed everything.

Jody and Thomas are back to talk the All-Star festivies, as well as put together an all NL East All-Star roster and give out some midseason awards.

Jody (Phillies fan) and Thomas (Mets fan) return after a week off to talk about two teams who are surging. Spoiler, our teams are in the tank. Thomas also talks about his experiences at the London Series over the weekend.

No-one can stay healthy. Except the Braves it seems, who continue to surge. Jody and Thomas are back to talk all the thrills and spills of the NL East this week.

The Phils and Braves are scuffling a little. The Nats and Marlins are surging. And the Mets are the Mets. Are we gonna have a 5 team race in the NL East? Probably not, but we talk the last 7 days including Keuchel signing, McCutchen's injury and the Draft.

The team of the 90s did get their World Series title in 1995, but the opportunity to be a dynasty was an opportunity lost. Jody and Thomas talk about the Braves five World Series appearances in 8 years, an all time rotation, and the legacy of that era in Braves baseball.

The bats are hot in the NL East. Some of the pitching though leaves a little to be desired. Jody and Thomas are here to talk that, as well as the Odubel Herrera arrest, and we try to phone Keith Hernandez after he left hos phone number on twitter...

Jody and Thomas talk about the Washington Nationals 2012-2017 teams, as a struggling team relocated from Montreal suddenly looked like a super power. Some really fun teams, but where did it all go wrong?

Jody and Thomas return a week into the season to talk about good offense, bad bullpens, and Bryce Harper's return to Washington.

Jody (Phillies fan) and Thomas (Mets fan) are here to talk all things NL East! We preview the new season with an in depth look at the bottom three from 2018, as we break down the Marlins, Mets and Phillies ahead of Opening Day.

Hosting issues mean this is uploaded much later than planned (recorded on Friday) but Jody and Thomas talk the Marlins win streak, the Braves heating up, and Thomas has a very good rant about the Mets ownership.

Jody and Thomas come back to talk the NL East, where it feels like everyone went .500 this week (apart from the Marlins, who've lost a bunch in a row) but talk about the positives we're seeing from the Braves, Mike Foltynewicz aside.

Jody and Thomas talk about the Phillies getting a lead in the division, and wonder if it'll last. The Nats continue to sink, while the Mets and Braves continue to frustrate.

Jody and Thomas talk about the remarkable first 11 years of the Florida Marlins, which involved just two winning seasons, but both those seasons ended with the ultimate prize.

Jody and Thomas are back to talk all things NL East. We discuss the possibility that Washington aren't the team we thought they were. We chat about the inconsistencies every team is having so far and try to make sense of the first month of the season.

As we continue our look back at the best teams in NL East history, we go back 50 years to relive the Miracle Mets of 1969. Thomas talks us through the first World Series crown in franchise history. Jody is also there.

Jody and Thomas return to talk the NL East remaining a close four horse race with no-one taking control. We talk the Nationals being weird, the Braves hitting and pitching well but being .500, and another testy Phillies-Mets series.

We talk more about some pitching woes in the NL East as some of the bigger name pitchers continue to scuffle. We talk about the Mets series with the Braves and Phillies, and Jody talks the 2007-2011 Phillies as his favourite era of baseball.

Jody and Thomas are back to talk the disastrous bullpens in the NL East, the blistering start by Pete Alonso, and the news breaks during recording of Ozzie Albies perplexing new contract.

Jody and Thomas are back to talk about the Nationals and Braves as we complete our preview of the new season in the NL East. We also touch upon free agency being broken and who we think will win the division.

If you like a structured format, this is not the week for you. Pete McCarthy and Darren Meenan catch up on all the latest with the Mets and sprinkle in a ton of randomness. Brooklyn Councilman Justin Brannan is mad at the weather and how MLB handles rain delays, Michael Conforto has a concussion, Seinfeld night is coming to Citi Field and Jerry will be in the house, Jeff McNeil is battling some abdominal pain, you can't bring backpacks to Citi Field anymore, competitive eating is awesome, and much more.

Introduction: Anthony Scaramucci is a Tufts undergraduate, Harvard Law School graduate, and playing off of the title of a great song by Drake, a man with middle class-blue collar roots from Long Island who most definitely “started from the bottom” and is now very here. Prior to making his 950,400 seconds as Director of White House Communications during the summer of 2017 among the most 11 memorable and talked about days in West Wing history, Anthony was making a difference on Wall Street, in the early days with Goldman Sachs, and thereafter with Oscar Capital Management, Neuberger & Berman, Lehman Brothers and his very successful hedge fund of hedge funds, SkyBridge Capital. Anthony has long been on the cutting edge of thought provoking conversation, creations and ideas long before his recent multi-media appearances and headline grabbing quotes created impactful mental images for many. By way of example, SkyBridge Capital’s SALT conference in Las Vegas and Asia, with its star-studded panel of decision makers, industry experts, finance professionals and members of the alternative investment community, has been described as being committed to facilitating balanced discussions and debates on macro-economic trends, geo-political events and alternative investment opportunities within the context of a dynamic global economy. Anthony is a family man, who enjoys spending time at home and riding around his stomping grounds, Port Washington, New York. Episode Notes: At 4:13, Anthony Scaramucci discusses the message of his first book, doing the right thing and the importance of having the highest level of integrity.
