  • Change the name to the “Pete Alonzo” podcast.

    Evan stop living in the past. There were decisions made and people are gone. Please be less negative, there is a bright future with the young guys and the veterans signed.

  • The Rico Boomer podcast

    I’m down with being critical of our sports teams, and now I’m going to be critical of the rico team. You guys do good work but how is it possible Pete is a producer at WFAN and when I’m driving to work he sounds like he’s in a fishbowl half the time. Or his mic is ridiculously loud compared to Evan’s. Hate to leave a bad review but cmon guys the least you can do is make sure the audio isn’t bad

  • Impressive (minus Hoff)

    It’s really impressive how Evan can carry an hour long show on every series and stay coherent let alone give interesting but relatable analysis about the team. The only times the show sags are the requisite kicks to Hoff… who… just isn’t it.

  • Most insightful Mets Podcast!

    Get rid of the net negative player for each series, and I would change it to a 5 star podcast. It’s amazing even when the Mets win a game or a series, you and Pete are so negative. This is becoming an “LD” podcast!!

  • Too many Ads

    I find the podcast entertaining but it seems like it has more ads than other casts I listen to. Evan does have a full time job so I don’t see why he feels the need to bombard us with drop in ads and reads every 7 minutes like this is an actual radio program. Yes I know I can just fast forward through them but that is cumbersome and makes listening a chore.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What If Brett Baty Isn't Here Anymore
Q: Could Jared Young and Ronny Mauricio cover Brett Baty's super-utility role if Baty were traded?
Roberts is open to the idea. He says Mauricio could replace Baty if the Mets received a quality, controllable reliever in a trade, and points to Mauricio's switch-hitting, shortstop defense, and potential as reasons to consider it.
What If Brett Baty Isn't Here Anymore
Q: Had the Mets made the right moves and become buyers at the trade deadline, would they have added enough to make the postseason?
Roberts thinks a more competitive Mets team could have pursued players such as Tarik Skubal or Luis García, but doubts those additions would have been enough to reach the postseason. He also notes that buying could have cost the team prospects and left its farm system weaker.
Episode 775 - Stealing Brewers and Rays NOT Named Freddy Peralta
Q: If the Mets were one Tarik Skubal away from reaching the playoffs and winning the World Series, would you spend heavily on him, or pursue several players instead?
Roberts rejects the premise that the Mets must already be one player away to pursue a star. He says the team could be competitive in 2027, while acknowledging that choosing between one expensive ace and multiple starting pitchers depends on the budget and roster.
Episode 775 - Stealing Brewers and Rays NOT Named Freddy Peralta
Q: Which Brewers and Rays can the Mets realistically target this offseason, and which ones will be available?
Roberts names several possible free agents and trade candidates, including Nick Martinez, William Contreras, Andrew Vaughn, Trevor Megill and Yandy Díaz. He highlights Contreras as a particularly appealing catcher, while noting the contract and prospect costs involved with different targets.
Episode 769 - Should the Mets Trade for Bryce Harper?
Q: How does that compare to the rest of the league and which teams have had the most success with that strategy?
Roberts focuses on the Mets, who used an opener in 16 games and went 5-11 overall. They went 4-2 when Waskar Brazoban opened, and Roberts says the tactic can help a back-of-the-rotation starter avoid facing the top of the lineup early.
