For All You Kids Out There

In Episode 66 of For All You Kids Out There, we are in Boston for SaberSeminar so after a night of cocktails it is time to podcast about the Mets with friends. Jeffrey doesn't screw up recording it this year, but does underestimate how sleepy we all were going to be after a night out at Lion's Tail and Eastern Standard. Nevertheless, Jeffrey, Jarrett, Kate Morrison, Skyler Kanfer, and Matt Yaspan discuss Amed Rosario's first week in the majors, when Dom Smith will arrive in Queens, the very exciting August 31 waiver trade deadline, the state of the Mets system, and answer a bunch of questions from you, the listener.

In Episode 65 of For All You Kids Out There, we are back in high...well, medium-fidelity to talk about the Mets trade deadline experience. Do you like relievers? Because we are mostly talking about relievers. We also take a closer look at the Sonny Gray and Yu Darvish deals, access the current state of the Mets farm system, and answer your questions on Michael Conforto, Pete Alonso, and Tim Tebow.

So we probably should have re-recorded the first and third halves of this, and the second half got cut short by Jeffrey's laptop dying again, but...we didn't.

In Episode 63 of For All You Kids Out There Jeffrey takes you on a tour of fine New York City Cocktail bars before we can even get into the meat of the show. But in the first half, we talk the trade market and recent Mets trade rumors and who the real clubhouse cancer is on the 2017 Mets. In the second half of the show, our good friend David Roth returns to chat about crushing blows to neoliberalism, sports talk radio, Manny's of Moonachie, philanthropy, and Jason Jordan Angle.In the third half of the show, we answer your correspondence and live chat the Zack Sabre jr/Hiroshi Tanahashi G1 match.

In Episode 62 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett "preview" the "second half" of the "baseball" season. The first half ambles a bit and we recorded it Monday night and honestly I don't remember much of what is in it. In the second half of the show we chat with Craig Goldstein about our Midseason Top 50 prospect list over at the mothership. In the third half of the show we answer your emails (again in some cases) and talk to Brady about the pro wrestling. For an hour. They say records are made to be broken. The record for longest episode of this podcast probably shouldn't keep getting broken though.

In Episode 61 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett discuss seltzer preferences, recap Citi Field Day, debate if the Mets will be playing meaningful games in September, and make the case for Travis d'Arnaud. In the second half of the show we talk about the midseason Mets prospect list (while ending up talking about Phillies prospects again somehow), examine the short season roster, and talk about Jeffrey's recent Binghamton look. In the third half of the show, we really did answer your correspondence and talk to Brady about G1, but then something happened...

In Episode 60 of For All You Kids Out There, it is just never a slow news week in Flushing is it? After a digression about Jeffrey's wedding (mostly winery) excursion in Virginia, we dive right in to the Asdrubal Cabrera kerfluffle. There may be some rants. We also hash out Michael Conforto's playing time, Zack Wheeler's injury and Jacob deGrom's return to form, before wrapping up with some thoughts on Dan Warthen, pitching coach.In the second half of the show, there is actual Mets analysis as we look towards the Mets trade deadline strategy and discuss minor league promotions.In the third half of the show, there isn't much correspondence. this week, so we plug the BP Citi Field Day one last time and preview the G1 Climax instead. 

In Episode 59 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett are coming to you from Baltimore. At least for the first half of the show where we blearily cover another spate of Mets injuries, the return of Yoenis Cespedes, a reflective This Week in Matt Harvey, and the Lucas Duda free agent conundrum. In the second half of the show we are joined by Skyler Kanfer of BP Mets to discuss the 2017 Mets draft class.In the third half of the show we answer your e-mails and go over first half storylines in the Mets minors. 

In Episode 58 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey had a long day at the park and a long drive back so he allows Jarrett to do the heavy lifting. Jarrett has been mad online about the Mets this week, and hoo boy does he extrapolate on why in the first half of the show. We also discuss prospects we have seen recently and spend two minutes previewing Monday night's draft. In the second half of the show we are joined by Kate Morrison to supposedly talk about the Rangers, but mostly end up talking about the Cubs, we guess? Oh, and Brewers prospects.In the third half of the show we answer your correspondence and spend roughly forty minutes discussing Kenny Omega vs Kachuzika Okada and its wider implications.

In Episode 57 of For All You Kids Out There, a simple question from one host to another ends up with Jarrett trying to trade every Met. We also chat about Wilmer Flores, the 2012 draft, and the Mets bullpen...again. In the second half of the show, David Roth of Vice Sports is here to make sure the show fully goes off the rails, and we wrap up with your Facebook questions and a description of two very long wrestling shows. 

In Episode 56 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey takes a call from "Jarrett on the car phone" on his way back from seeing the 17th best prospect in baseball, and we discuss Terry Collins' circle of trust, Tyler Pill's debut, where the Mets are and where they are going, Bryce Harper's helmet toss, and Mike Trout's thumb. Then we take your e-mails on Raphael Ramirez and Andrew McCutchen and your Facebook queries mostly about Michael Conforto.

In Episode 55 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett catch up with some of the Mets we haven't discussed so far in the 2017 season. We have discussed the rotation a lot, but we will be doing it again. We also have the briefest This Week in Matt Harvey ever and chat about Mike Trout.In the second half of the show, we are joined by Craig Goldstein to check in on the machinations in the minors, contemplate Gleybermania, and swoon about Juan Soto. Plus, Craig talks about tango.In the third half of the show we answer your correspondence, and end up spending a half hour talking about Backlash after Jeffrey said we weren't going to talk about Backlash in our last episode.

In Episode 54 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett have another disappointing week fo Mets baseball to cover. This is nominally a Mets podcast though, so while there is a whole bunch of Phillies prospect talk again, we do find time to discuss Jeurys Familia's injury, other Mets bullpen woes, the emergence of Michael Conforto, the struggles of Curtis Granderson, the winter of Terry Collins, and almost the entire Columbia Fireflies roster.In the second half of the show, we chat with Meg Rowley of Baseball Prospectus about the Mariners, Pitch, and preview the FOX Fall TV upfronts.In the third half of the show, we answer your e-mails and sort of preview of a wrestling pay-per-view we were vaguely aware was occurring.

In Episode 53 of For All You Kids Out There it sure feels like a lot longer than a week since we last recorded a podcast. It's only been a week though, and we know this because in the first half of the show we go day-by-day through the last week in Flushing. It's been...busy. On the agenda is Syndergaard's lat, Gsellman's struggles, very good prospects (not Mets), very good prospects (a certain potential Mets shortstop), not-a-victory-lap about Paul Sewald, definitely not-a-victory-lap about Paul Sewald, somebody on the Mets' martial aid, and of course...This Week in Matt Harvey.In the second half of the show we are joined by Matthew Callan, author of Yells for Ourselves to discuss his book about the 1999-2000 Mets squads. We break down the Mike Piazza trade, spend almost as time on the Mike Bordick trade, and even more time on 20th century atonal opera.In the third half of the show we answer your correspondence, and there is a lot of it so the pro wrestling segment is actually pretty brief, we promise.To pre

In Episode 52 of For All You Kids Out There we are live from pork roll country--or is it Taylor Ham? Jeffrey can never remember. Anywho, Jeffrey and Jarrett are here in Jarrett's apartment to go over a weird week in Metsland. We will break down the Mets injury communications as every Met is, uh, breaking down. One Met who is not breaking down is Michael Conforto. It's almost like he's an emerging superstar when not dealing with a wrist injury. We also discuss Andres Gimenez's surprise promotion to Columbia and the dire state of the Mets bullpen...again.In the second half of the show we chat about the Lakewood/Kannapolis game we saw on Saturday and both of us wax poetic about Daniel Brito.In the third half of the show we answer your e-mail and wrap up with the usual wrestling chat. It's a normal length podcast--well probably still 20 minutes too long--but either way, don't get used to it. 

In Episode 51 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett sit back, relax and...oh there goes Jarrett on another rant again, never mind. It hasn't been a great week in Panic City, and we break down the injury problems, the roster problems, the bullpen problems and the Michael Conforto prob...well, it isn't a problem yet, but give it another week. We also wonder if Amed Rosario is ready for the big leagues (SPOILER: probably).In the second half of the show we are joined by David Roth of Vice Sports to talk Atlantic League rosters, the 2007 Cy Young Award voting, Eric Thames, Wade LeBlanc, and the segment ends with our just reading out the names of KBO players.In the third half of the show, we answer your correspondence, discuss A-ball pitchers, and Jarrett reports in from a New Jersey wrestling show.

In Episode 50 of For All You Kids Out There, we celebrate this milestone the only way we know how. Jeffrey starts off by promising a "short" show, and Jarrett ends it with a long pro wrestling rant. In between we discuss the Mets early season woes, Gleyber Torres shirseys, 101 rankings we already regret, and answer about 25 questions from Liam.

In Episode 49 of For All You Kids Out There, the Mets are under .500 (at the time of recording), is it time to panic yet? We go over the first week storylines, Jarrett has a better rant in-between live (at the time or recording) golf updates, and there's another week of This Week in Matt Harvey. In the second half of the show, we are continuing the tradition of doing a rando Phillies segment in April, and we invite on "the smartest guy out there," Matt Winkleman of Crashburn Alley to talk about the Lakewood Blue Claws and other assorted Phillies prospects. Then in the third half of the show, we answer your correspondence and discuss the upcoming shakeup on WWE TV. 

In Episode 48 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett banter about Opening Day, Jeffrey's twitter mentions, and Wilmer Flores' baserunning before diving into the state of Seth Lugo's elbow and the state Paul Sewald is going to be pitching in. Then we go over the Mets minor league assignments, answer your emails, and recap Jarrett's Wrestlemania week.
