The Mets might have reached their rock bottom of the 2021 season when they lost the series to the lowly Marlins in Miami. The Mets’ offense has been asleep and they can’t score enough to win games consistently. Luckily, the Mets still have time to redeem themselves. They have the second-place Phillies up next on their schedule in a chance to gain some ground on them from their half-game lead … or fall into second place for the first time since May. This is an essential weekend ahead.
To talk about a debacle against the Marlins and preview the series in Philly, we bring you a new episode of the “Amazin’ But True” podcast with former Met Nelson Figueroa and Mets fan Jake Brown, featuring a chat with KFC and Clem from Barstool Sports.
The next episode of the “Amazin’ But True” podcast will be a live show on Sunday at 5 p.m. at Katch Astoria. Me and Figgie will have some special guests and giveaways for fans in attendance and are excited to meet listeners of the pod.
Amazin’ But True Podcast with Jake & Figgie:
- MIAMI DEBACLE: I go on a rant to open the show about frustrations with the Mets following a brutal series loss to the Marlins. The Mets are playing their worst baseball as the Phillies are right there behind them now. Frustrating to see the team continue to have a terrible approach at the plate. Cannot keep failing to drive runners in with no outs and runners in scoring position. Have to take series in Philly or things can get ugly with 13 games coming against the Giants and Dodgers.
- KATCH ASTORIA PODCAST: Sunday 1 p.m. Mets-Phillies watch party and then 5 p.m. live podcast recording. Special guests coming along with giveaways. Sarah will be rocking her Mets nail polish for losing Subway Series bet. Food will be eaten, drinks will be flowing and fun will be had at Katch Astoria.
