Episodes
We've been looking forward to this episode for a long time as Mets legend Dwight Gooden was good enough to take some time for an interview with us after a very busy week. At the end of a lengthy meet and greet at Murphy's Bar in Astoria, Dr. K was gracious enough to hang around a little longer for a pair of knuckleheads with a microphone. It also helps that the Mets had an outstanding week! Come for the Doc Gooden interview, stay for the breakdown of the Pirates sweep and surprising series...

April is a weird baseball month. Last week the Mets looked like a 70 win team, now they look dangerous! We break down the squad taking the first series against the vaunted Braves including a game that could be remembered as a season defining win. From there we recap the Royals and look forward to the Pirates and Dodgers series. We're only a few days away from Doc Gooden's appearance at Murphy's Bar in Astoria! Friday, April 19th from 7-9pm, be there or be square!

The Mets have stumbled out of the gate, then stepped on a rake, and then stepped in dog doo. It was an abysmal start to the year for the squad, but there are some bright spots and maybe even some signs of life. We break down the struggles as well as the silver linings including a nice first turn through the rotation and nice performances from Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez. From there we spin around the league and discuss another year's worth of devastating pitching injuries. Enjoy!

We are back and it's a full house on this episode! We start by explaining the reason that the Mets are tanking, move on to talk about just how bad it is in the Bronx, and then we finally turn our attention to the teams that are actually winning games this year. We break down the playoff contenders by tier and tell you who we think is for real, who is for show, and who would be fun. Enjoy!

There was a ton that went down during last week's trade deadline. Good teams adding, bad teams selling, the Yankees not doing anything, and the Mets just absolutely tanking. It took us a couple of days to get our emotions in check to talk reasonably and even longer to edit our marathon recap session but it is finally here! We start with the Mets of course and the new and saddening direction that the front office has taken, but then we cover the whole damn deadline. So many teams maneuvering...

Hey baseball fans, it's trade season! The Nephews are back to cover all of your trade deadline questions. From buyers to sellers, big deals and small there is sure to be a lot of action in the coming days. As for the Mets, we last told you they needed to go 12-3 or 13-2 coming out of the break and...they haven't. Sometimes it's better to accept that a season won't end in a playoff run and then you can enjoy the games again! We each give some predictions here and some of them are humdingers!...

It's stretch time for the baseball season and we break down the state of the league starting with our Mets. Spoiler alert: it's going to be an uphill climb. The Mets did have an exciting week and a 6 game winning streak, but lost the disappointment-bowl to the Padres and, well, one of us is already out. How many games are they allowed to lose before the calendar turns to August? The answer is inside. Be sure to check out our IG @nephewspod as well as our friends @sheahello and enjoy!

We are officially through the halfway point of the season and it is just not looking great for either New York club. We have been quoting Yogi Berra and saying "it's getting late early" for a while now, well it's late. Is there hope on the horizon? We chop up what is left in this Mets season. We also welcome Duanny B back on the show for the first time in a while and talk about some Yanks! Spoiler alert: they're not as good as their record, but perfect games are cool!  It's the first time in...

What a difference a week makes...actually jk lmao there isn't much of a difference. The Mets are still bad. Errors on the field and the basepaths, unacceptable starting pitching from supposed aces, and inconsistent offense have brought this team to a 33-38 record as we are only 10 games away from the midpoint of the season. When will it end? In fact, they are so frustrating to watch and talk about that we actually spend most of the episode taking a spin around the rest of the league. If you...

The Mets embarked on a long west coast trip and have righted the ship in many ways. The Nephews are here to recap the Oakland sweep and Dodgers series as well as react to the Max Scherzer ejection. Or maybe we should call it the Phil Cuzzi ejection. So dumb. So while there is much more good news than bad, there are still roadbumps in this early season. We also briefly check in on the Yankees and talk some airline popcorn. Check out our IG for 'Look it Up,' curveballs, standings updates and...

Hey Baseball Fans! The Nephews are back with you and this episode, it's all about the Mets. The roster has taken shape and while most of the personnel decisions are easy enough to suss out, there are still some bullpen and bench calls to make. Will the kids make the roster? Who will round out this bullpen? Keep in mind, we recorded this on Sunday night the 5th and assumed health across the board for the exercise. Feel free to hit us up on Twitter and Instagram @nephewspod to tell us how dumb...

The 2023 class of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown will be revealed Tuesday night the 24th so Sweet Baby J, Duanny B, and myself drew up our own ballots to get you ready.

Oh boy did Uncle Stevie really try and make this New Year a special one when he swept in and stole Carlos Correa from under the Giants' tree. Or did he? And should he? As of this publishing, Carlos Correa is still not officially a Met and we Nephews just have no idea what to think. We break down the possibility of Correa as well as our trepidation about the player and his possibly bum ankle. We also chat about new and returning Mets Kodai Senga, Adam Ottavino, Omar Narvaez and more. Finally...

Uncle Stevie DGAF about your luxury tax! So much to go over since we last joined you. We saw the end of the deGrom era, Steve Cohen wasting no time replacing Jake with Justin Verlander, and Brandon Nimmo signing on to be a Met for life. We cover all of that, all of the other moves from Billy Eppler, and where the team turns next. And there's more! We just had to talk about all of these crazy contracts that got handed out this week. Judge, Turner, Bogearts, all of 'em! And then for good...
