Episode 29 - Strokin' Out with UK Mets

Episode 29 - Strokin' Out with UK Mets

It's been far too long but we're back! And as always when we record so rarely, there's lots to discuss:

Favourite moment of 2022 so far, our MVPs, surprisingly good players, Uncle Buck and possible trades.

Plus is the universal DH a good thing, is position players pitching becoming a joke and is it time to reorganise the leagues geographically?

We pack quite a lot into 40 minutes! And we'll be back soon, we promise (maybe).

Episode 28 - Travis Blankenhorn To You All

As the regular season will be over soon, we thought we should finally do a podcast about 2021!

There are lots of highlights and lowlights to discuss, as well as the Mets' trade deadline business, Michael Conforto's current issues and the return of the black jerseys.

Plus the small matter of how people from the UK pronounce certain players' names...

Episode 27 - All Set For 2021!

Episode 27 - All Set For 2021!

The 2021 baseball season is finally here and the UK Mets crew are understandably excited!

So excited in fact that Andrew can't even get through the introduction without the excitement spilling over into a podcast in which there is plenty to discuss.

Who has been the Mets' best acquisition who isn't Francisco Lindor? And what holes remain in the roster?

Plus the key question ahead of 2021: Can the Mets win it all this year?

Tracey, Jo, Les and David are on hand to offer their opinions, as well further questions when Andrew's flimsy stock runs dry.

This really could be our year, you know... LETS! GO! METS! #LFGM #LGM

Episode 25 - Chattin' Mets with Bristol City's Jon Lansdown

Tracey, Jo and Andrew are delighted to welcome Bristol City chairman Jon Lansdown to Mets Across The Pod!

They learn how Jon discovered baseball, why he chose the Mets, and there's a remarkable tale of how Jon saw two ball games in one day... 

He also tells of his own baseball career, which Mets players are his favourites, and who he'd sign if he were Steve Cohen.

And are Bristol City going to get promoted to the Premier League this season? Find out what he has to say here!

Episode 24 - Cohen, Alderson, Stroman and... Stroganoff?!

There's been a whole baseball season since we last had a podcast. 2020, right?!

Tracey is joined by Jo and Les to discuss the latest news from Mets land.

Not much to talk about, is there?! They give their thoughts on Steve and Alex Cohen, the return of Sandy Alderson, Marcus Stroman's new contract and their wish lists for new players. 

Plenty to get your teeth into, in other words. LETS. GO. METS. #LGM #LFGM

Episode 23 - 2020 Predictions!

It's taken longer than anybody would've imagined at the start of the year, but the 2020 baseball season is finally upon us! So what's going to happen?

Andrew is joined by Tracey and David to talk through the Mets' chances of success, if their bullpen has improved, who will be the team's MVP, and which teams will make the World Series.

But more importantly, David gives us his countdown of the top five MLB uniforms. These are the issues which matter in baseball.

Episode 22 - UK Mets meet James Wagner (Part Two)

Episode 22 - UK Mets meet James Wagner (Part Two)

Tracey, Jo and David are delighted to welcome the New York Times' James Wagner (@ByJamesWagner) to Mets Across The Pod.

Part two of the hour long conversation begins with imagining how it would be to spend your time on Isolation Island with Terry Collins. Not boring!

What does James prefer, National League or American League? What chance does he think there is of the team being sold? What are his favourite team uniforms, and is it - as John Oliver suggested - immoral to support the Yankees? (Hint: Yes it is. But never mind what we think, see what James says). 

James also recounts his trip to the London Series last year, his sister's obsession with Pride and Prejudice, and his own fledgling rugby career! 

Plenty for you to get your teeth into, in other words. LETS. GO. METS. #LGM #LGFM

Episode 21 - James Wagner Joins The Show (Part One)

Tracey, Jo and David are delighted to welcome the New York Times' James Wagner (@ByJamesWagner) to Mets Across The Pod.

In part one of their hour long conversation, we learn about James' early life and career, and what it's like to have covered both teams in New York. And are they even rivals? James gives his view.

We also find out who he thinks had the better rookie season out of Aaron Judge and Pete Alonso (no contest, surely?), as well as learning how he deals with players in the lockeroom, and the interesting musical recommendations the players make for each other!

Finally, and most importantly, who would everyone want to take to Isolation Island?

We'll be back with part two later in the week. LETS. GO. METS. #LGM #LGFM
