Amazin' Avenue: For New York Mets Fans

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past This week, Rob Wolff travels back to the 2001 season to take a look at the inexplicably productive season that a utility player claimed off of waivers the previous season had with the Mets. Hear about Desi Relaford’s impressive season with the Mets, his memorable mop-up pitching appearance that year, and his thoughts on the Phillies and their fans that just might make some Mets fans feel even more kinship with the former Met.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. First up this week, we discuss the current Mets' product, specifically how one team can be both so good and so bad at the same time. Then, we identify our breakout offensive stars of the young season. After a break, we discuss Jason Vargas and the (perhaps?) extinct 'crafty veteran.' Finally, we wonder why the 'three outs' Edwin Diaz situation was only just now admitted. Chris’s music pick for the week: The Claypool Lennon Delirium - South of Reality Brian's music pick: Bodega - Infinite Scroll You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Amazin’ Avenue Audio podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, we begin the show with a discussion of the Mets’ pitching woes, offset by how great their offense—specifically Pete Alonso—has been. We also talk about the roster crunch with the return of Todd Frazier imminent. Next, we have an interview with Dr. Meredith Wills—astrophysicist, baseball Hall of Famer, data scientist, knitting designer, and baseball connoisseur. We talk about her work published last summer that revealed what was different about post-2015 baseballs versus pre-2015 baseballs, what she thinks about the current spike in home runs across the game, what it’s like to be a woman in science and baseball, and her latest craft projects. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise. You can listen or s

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past This week, Rob Wolff travels back in time to the franchise’s inaugural season of 1962 to take a look at a pitcher with a very unique nickname who spent the tail end of a solid major league career with Casey’s fabled ‘62 squad. Learn about the historic World Series he participated in, his thoughts on his final days with the Mets, and his at least equally notable post-baseball career.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, we begin by discussing the lack of pitching depth and how the Mets could seriously get a leg up on their competition by signing Dallas Keuchel.

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past This week, Rob Wolff travels back in time to the late 80s to look at the hyped prospect background and brief Met career of David West.  Relive his Met debut in a rare era of unbridled Met fan optimism until the formerly “untouchable” prospect was deemed very touchable as the 1989 team tried to replace an injured Dwight Gooden for a playoff push, landing West in Minnesota, where he would eventually earn himself the World Series ring we wish he got in 1988.

Welcome back to Amazin’ Avenue Audio, where we’re debuting a brand new show this week from the women of Amazin’ Avenue called A Pod of Their Own, which will run every Wednesday once the regular season begins.  A Pod of Their Own is a show where we talk about all things Mets, but where we also take a look at various baseball issues through a lens of social justice. But more than anything else, this is a show that aims to normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  In our debut episode, we begin by discussing the conspicuous absence of a Jacob deGrom extension. We then tie this into the larger labor issues in baseball surrounding extensions, service time manipulation, and free agency.  Next, we introduce a segment we’re calling Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week and what we can’t stop thinking about, baseball-related or otherwise. Finally, we wrap things up with a very special giveaway for our listeners to celebrate the launch of the new show! Learn more ab
