  • Episode 7: Electric Factories and Bad Broadcasting

    Happy Monday Mets fans! Time for another edition of Pleasant Good Evening with myself (@Samlebo14) and Jack (@JackHendon_)! We are through one round of this new cockamamie playoff format, and sadly, the Mets were not included. But we still watched as much of it as we possibly could! And, boy, do we have takes.

    We break down the results of the Wild Card round before previewing the matchups for the four divisional series. We also took a deep dive into ESPN's handling of the broadcasts for the eight Wild Card series. We determined it was not exceptionally pretty.

    We also talk about some fun the Mets had in the playoffs on this day before, as always, remembering some guys!

  • Episode 6: A Merciful End

    The season might be over but the Pleasantcast keeps rolling! On this special episode of PGE, Jack (@jackhendon_) and I (@SamLebo14) try to find some answers for what exactly went wrong this weekend in Washington, and during this season overall. Spoiler: there is a lot.

    We also open up the mailbag and see what you guys thought was the Mets' most painful loss of the season. Thank you so much for your responses.

    We then discuss Rick Porcello's heartfelt apology, Brandon Nimmo's comments about Steve Cohen, and Luis Rojas' job security. After that, we discuss some possible names to keep an eye on for the Mets' possibly, soon-to-be vacant GM job.

    And it is the end of the regular season, which means its prediction time! Jack and I give our World Series picks. And to finish things off, we remember some guys and throw it back to a special left-hander's grittiest performance in orange and blue.

    Jack and I are so happy to have brought you guys the pod over the final six weeks of the season. We have plenty of ideas for shows during the offseason. We hope you will continue to follow along and listen! Make sure to check out our Twitter @PGEPod_MMO as always. Enjoy, Mets fans!

  • Episode 5: We Didn't Start The Fire

    Happy Monday Mets fans! You know that means it's time for your weekly dose of your favorite Mets podcast. Jack (@jackhendon_) and myself (@samlebo14) sadly believe it is time to eulogize the Mets' 2020 season. After a weekend series loss to the Braves, playoff hopes are looking bleak. We talk about what exactly went wrong, both against the Braves and during this 60-game sprint.

    We also discuss the Travis d'Arnaud Revenge Tour. He has torched the Mets in 2020, and he is certainly not the only former Met to crush his ex-team. We try to get to the bottom of why so many ex-Mets do well against them.

    We also talk about the two players to be named later that were announced as part of the Mets earlier trades. Jack and I try to figure out what trading a submariner and a lottery ticket means for the organization as a whole.

    And, Jack and I take a look around the extremely tight National League playoff picture and give our predictions for who sneaks into the postseason.

    We also break down the Sandy Alderson news! We tell you why it's great news.

    And, as usual we remember some guys at the end of the episode.

    This week, we are running our second mailbag question: Which loss from 2020 do you wish you could take back? Respond to our mailbag tweet @PGEPod_MMO and your answer might get featured in next week's episode.

    Only one week left of the regular season! Enjoy the episode and the last week of the season, Mets fans!

  • Episode 4: The Search for a Winning Streak

    A fresh week means a fresh podcast, Mets fans! In this edition, myself (@SamLebo14 on Twitter) and Jack (@jackhendon_) try to get to the bottom of our lovable, frustrating baseball team. Things are starting to look bleak after a series loss against the Blue Jays in Buffalo.

    After we discuss the series and the week in general, we look at the National League playoff picture and if we can see the Mets sneaking in at the moment.

    Later on, we talk about why this team just cannot seem to get any momentum going.

    We also talk about the pitching staff behind and around Jacob deGrom. Do we see Seth Lugo as a starter long term? Who could they target in the offseason to fill the gaps?

    We also talk about deGrom and his search for a third consecutive NL Cy Young Award. We break down his competition and if he has a chance.

    And finally, before remembering some guys and remembering what happened on this day in Mets' history, we talk no-hitters! Alec Mills of the Cubs threw one on Sunday, so that begs the question: who will be the next Met (not named deGrom) to throw a no-no? We have answers.

    We had fun with this episode and we hope you do too! Be sure to follow the podcast on Twitter @PGEPod_MMO for more content. See you next week, Mets fans!

  • Episode 3: This One's For Tom

    Happy Monday morning Mets fans! It's your favorite podcasting duo back again for episode three of the best new Mets cast on the market. This week, myself (@SamLebo14 on Twitter) and Jack (@jackhendon_) break down a successful, if not emotional, week in Metsland.

    We start off by discussion Jacob deGrom's dominance against the Phillies in yesterday's rout. Then, Jack and I discuss the passing of Hall of Famer and Mets legend Tom Seaver, and try to put into words exactly what he meant to us as young Mets fans and to the franchise as a whole. Jack's message is especially touching and you don't want to miss it.

    Next, we break down what the Mets did on the trade deadline and how it impacts the current roster. Do we like the moves for Todd Frazier, Robinson Chirinos, and Miguel Castro? How does this affect the Mets behind the plate moving forward?

    We also evaluate how the Seth Lugo and Andrés Giménez experiments are going and whether the Mets should move on from them.

    And finally, we go over your responses to last week's mailbag question! Thank you all for your responses at MMO and on Twitter. Keep your eyes peeled for our next question sometime soon. And, as always, we end the episode by remembering some random Mets.

    We hope you enjoy episode three! Be sure to follow the podcast on Twitter @PGEPod_MMO for more content. See you next week, Mets fans!

  • Episode 2: Poor Drew Smith

    Welcome back for episode two of MetsMerized's new podcast, Pleasant Good Evening! This week, myself (@SamLebo14) and Jack (jackhendon_) break down a very long and busy week of Mets baseball. We discuss the social undercurrent of the week, surrounding Dom Smith and the Mets' walk-out of Thursday's game against the Marlins.

    We also discuss exactly how the Mets did in their eight games this week, down the most frustrating detail. How did the pitching hold up? How about the catching?

    Jack and I also talk about today's trade deadline and what we think the Mets will do with a much clearer picture of where the team sits since last week.

    To round out the episode, we discuss the (likely) new team owner and what his first order of business should be.

    We also reminisce about Addison Reed's amazing 2016 and, as usual, remember some random Mets! Stick around to the end of the episode to see which random Mets we remember. You do not want to miss this week's segment.

    Also, we're running a mailbag for the podcast! This week's question is: What do you think about the seven inning game format? Do you love it or hate it? Sound off in the in the replies to our mailbag tweet on Twitter @PGEPod_MMO and we may read your answer next week.

    Be sure to follow the podcast on Twitter @PGEPod_MMO and we hope you enjoy this week's episode!
