The Metsian Podcast with Sam, Rich & Mike

At 8pm ET, A Metsian Podcast is back for its 29th regular episode! Faith and Fear in Flushing's Greg Prince joins us to help recap the first two series of this 11-game road trip before the Mets honor the Miracle of '69 next weekend.Along with wrapping up the Cubs series, we'll discuss the Mets big change this past week, firing pitching coach Dave Eiland and hiring 82-year-old Phil Regan. Though the age is obviously an eyesore from a PR perspective, he seems to have a good head on his shoulders in relating to the modern pitcher and incorporating the new wave of analytics to the way he coaches a staff that has clearly underperformed. After the first 4 games with him at the helm, how do we perceive the change?The fielding has been atrocious, as they have the least amount of chances out there yet lead the NL in errors. One of the culprits has been the regression of Amed Rosario at shortstop, and they may be combatting that by getting him reps in center field. Is this just yet another example of fitting a square peg into a round hole or could Rosario actually have a future out there with no one having run away with the CF positon?Pete Alonso today broke Darryl Strawberry's rookie record with his 27th HR...and less than halfway through. He could be making a run at the ML rookie record, let alone the Mets full season HR record. Let's just continue to bask in how awesome Alonso has been.And McNeil just keeps McNeilin'. He got the day off Sunday but is hitting .342 on the season. Do we think he will make the All-Star team?And along with discussing the players to wear number 29 in Mets history, we'll reminisce on the 1969 Mets with the weekend coming up and the Cubs series reminding us of their rivalry that magical year.So, join us at 8pm ET for the latest edition of A Metsian Podcast!
