Pleasant Good Evening

You saw the title. We're back, baby. These. Mets.

Still work to do. The division isn't nearly won. But the Mets have a confirmed spot. Sam and Jack watched the Mets clinch, and now you can listen to Sam and Jack watch the Mets clinch!

Max Scherzer rocks. The Mets swept the Pirates this weekend. Sandy Alderson is out. All that and more on another fun episode of PGE.

Enjoy!

JULIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The Mets are good. They won four of six this week and took series from both the Pirates and Marlins. They did (briefly) fall out of first place, but the Braves coughed two games up in the standings immediately thanks to some friends in the Pacific Northwest. While Starling Marte is hurt, the offense is clicking again and the pitching has been alright outside of some questionable bullpen usage by Buck. Also Mark Vientos is here and Darin Ruf is bad still, so, sure.

About 55 minutes into this episode, we literally just start reacting to the end of Sunday's wild Braves/Mariners game. It's a lot of fun and even though you probably know what happened in that game, we hope you find entertainment value in our reactions.

Also, if you enjoyed that part of the episode, hit us up on Twitter (@thePGEpod) and let us know if we should do more of that type of stuff.

Enjoy,

Jack and Sam.

This was a week of contrasting ~vibes~ around the Mets.

They won two-of-three against the frickin' Dodgers. They lost two-of-three to the frickin' Nationals. Good and bad. Yin and yang. It's like poetry, it mirrors itself.

We talk about it all -- from deGrom, Nimmo, and Timmy Trumpets to Lane Thomas, Luis Garcia, and Patrick Corbin.

Enjoy.

Hello, PGE fans.

On this week's episode, Jack and Sam talk about the Mets series' with the Rockies! The Mets won 3 of 4 - so it was mostly good. They talk the impending series against the Dodgers and why they're nervous (spoiler: It's because the Dodgers are very good).

They also talk about Saturday's festivities at the ballpark. It was the first ever Mets' Old-Timers' Day! It was a lot of fun. Sam was there! The Mets retired Willie Mays' number in a shocking twist - but both of our handsome cohosts think that is the right move. And having David Wright NOT in attendance was also maybe the right move. The boys will explain.

Plus, a look at what future Old-Timers' Days could look like!

Enjoy!!

What an odd week to be a New York Met. Specifically, what an odd week to be one of the NINE new faces the Mets brought in since we last spoke to you on PGE. Some of them fit into the Mets' future plans. Many of them don't. We gave each of them grades (or a close approximation) based on contributions to the team this week.

Oh, and the Phillies are Phelony Phrauds, like we all suspected.

Let's go Mets.

The Mets are living well in the post-deadline world. That series win over the Braves might have been the highlight of the season. It rocked. They swept the Reds. They (result pending)ed the Phillies (we recorded before the rubber match). They're good. This is good. They're fun.

Edwin Diaz is fun. Very fun. People have been really digging the trumpets lately.

Likewise, Jacob deGrom is back and hasn't missed a beat. We talk about what that means to the team and why he is the key to building a sustainable winner in Queens.

Plus - hear Sam's crazy prediction for what big trade the Mets pull off this offseason.

Enjoy.

The Mets went 5-0 this week. They've won six in a row. They swept the Yankees and Marlins. They get the Nationals this week before a big series against the Braves. Jacob deGrom returns on Tuesday in D.C. Tyler Naquin is a Met. Hopefully more new faces join us before deGrom's season debut on Trade Deadline Day. Trevor May and James McCann are also about to return. The vibes are great; so great in fact that it reminded us of a different trade deadline that the Mets bookended with great play against a division rival.

This week on #PGE:

The Mets have a large new thumper in their order...

And they acquired him for literally Colin Holderman (which some of y'all are mad at???)...

Who else might the Mets be looking to trade for at the upcoming deadline...

Why this two-game Subway Series swing is so daunting...

And the Mets have some players getting healthy [eyes emoji].

Enjoy the 89th episode of the Pleasant Good Evening Podcast!

Recapping the end of the first half against the Braves and Cubs!

Futures Game! Pete in the Home Run Derby! All-Star Game! Edwin didn't pitch :(

Juan Soto trade rumors!

Breaking down the Mets' draft!

And first half superlatives!!!

Thanks for listening to PGE!

It was a good but also bad week for the Mets.

They went 4-3 with really fun wins in Cincinnati and on Keith Day...but they also had annoying shutout losses in Cincinnati and after Keith Day.

Pete Alonso, Edwin Díaz, Jeff McNeil, and Starling Marte are All-Stars.

Max is back. Jake is ever closer.

Also Keith Day rocked, btw.

Enjoy the (normal, sorry for the chaotic episode last week) episode.
