For All You Kids Out There

You know the name, here's the podcast.We also talk about Jay Bruce and the CBA negotiations. Hopefully that will tide you over to this weekend.

In Episode 30 of For All You Kids Out There, it is another slow news week in Metsland, so Jeffrey and Jarrett spend most of the first half of the show talking about Hunter Harvey. It happens. Also the Jean Segura trade. As this is nominally a Mets podcast we do talk about Gary Cohen and Tim Teufel.In the second half of the show we are jjoined by Skyler Kanfer of BP Mets to go over the 21st to 30th best prospects in the Mets system as news breaks all around us.And in the third half of the show we answer a question about...uh...Gary Cohen, and chat a bit about the pro wrestling. The Winter Meetings start soon we promise.

In Episode 29 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett discuss the paucity of Mets news for the week. The Rule 5 adds quickly get sidedrained into a consideration of whether Phil Evans would make the Marlins Top Ten. Jarrett is very excited about Eric Campbell's NPB career, and we are both pretty copacetic with Neil Walker accepting the qualifying offer.In the second half of the show we are joined once again by Craig Goldstein to discuss the rest of the NL East farm systems, Jeffrey defends his Dominic Smith and Andres Gimenez rankings, we all compare Lucas Giolito and Robert Gsellman again, and no one really wants to talk about the Marlins farm system.In the third half of the show, Jeffrey and Jarrett barely make it through housekeeping without getting distracted, then we answer your e-mails, and then Brady comes on for an hour (where did I lose control of this show) to talk about Rick Porcello and the pro wrestling.

It's Episode 28 of For All You Kids Out There. It's been a weird week, folks. We've lost Leonard Cohen and Bartolo Colon, two of the muses of the pod. We will soldier on though as we try and figure out what happened to the 2017 Mets starting pitching depth, ponder the qualifying offers to Neil Walker and Yoenis Cespedes, propose Jay Bruce trades, and go deep on the upcoming Rule 5 draft protections. In the second half of the show we are joined by Trevor Strunk of Baseball Prospectus to discuss the Phillies and Braves prospect lists. We pick our sides in the epic Cozens/Hoskins feud and try and figure out how good the Braves will be in 2017.In the third half of the show we answer your e-mails and Facebook queries and then Jarrett talks about UFC 205 for a freaking half hour. You've been warned. 

In Episode 27 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett are taking the end of baseball season (and the end of Daylight Savings Time) particularly hard. There is Mets news to discuss though, and almost none of it is good. We start in the first half with a chat about Jeurys Familia's recent arrest on Domestic Violence charges before moving on to a less depressing topic like the Mets picking up Jay Bruce's option. We say our goodbyes to Jim Henderson and Eric Campbell (that one perhaps only temporary) before wrapping up the segment with, what else, Yusmeiro Petit talk.In the second half of the show we discuss the Mets prospect stuff like the existence of Luis Silva (which we had sort of forgotten about until recent events) and how to rank Dominic Smith, Justin Dunn, and Desmond Lindsay.Then in the third half of the show, we answer your emails, and talk wrestling themes, New Japan Pro Wrestling news,and Canadian syndicated procedurals.

In Episode 26 of For All You Kids Out There, there is actually some Mets news to talk about this week, but it is a case of "be careful what you wish for." Before we get into the actual news though, Jeffrey and Jarrett discuss where they get their jeans and somehow Carlos Tocci doesn't come up. Then it is time to move onto Yoenis Cespedes, who might be, uh, moving on. We also discuss Curtis Granderson winning the Roberto Clemente award, and delve further into the Mets system looking at the prospects far away from the majors.In the second half of the show we are joined by Craig Goldstein to talk about the World Series so far and introduce the Baseball Prospectus Team Top 10 prospect lists.In the third half of the show we answer your emails, except we don't really have any answers, and we end the show talking about New Jersey Transit and Tim Tebow.

In Episode 25 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett survey the last week of Mets baseball news and find...well nothing, really. So how is this show two hours long? Well if you haven't figured that out 25 episodes in, we can't help you. On the docket in the first half, Jeffrey and Jarrett talk Jon Niese (for the last time?), Jose Reyes (for the last time), and survey the Mets farm system as we head into prospect list season.In the second half of the show, we are joined by Kate Morrison to preview the 2016 World Series and mostly talk about Kyle Schwarber of Jarrett's second-favorite team, the Chicago Cubs.In the third half of the show we answer your e-mails on minimum salaries, the Mets injury management, and trading for Paul Goldschmidt, before the usual wrestling chat wraps things up. 

In Episode 24 of For All You Kids Out There, we have a lot of time to kill until there will be any actual Mets new of import to talk about. And it is even longer until pitchers and catchers report. Sigh. So what to do in the interim? Well, in the first half of the show we will make do with the scraps of a fallow news cycle. Terry Collins might be retiring, Tim Tebow might be really bad at baseball, and Neil Walker might be getting a qualifying offer (this is really somehow a discussion about Bartolo Colon).In the second half of the show, BP's Minor League Editor Craig Goldstein joins the show to talk about the Dodgers/Nats series, where the Nats go from here, and MLB conspiracy theories. In the third half of the show, we answer your e-mails, and eventually the podcast devolves into, per usual, Jeffrey and Jarrett just listing off wrestling matches. 

In Episode 23 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett put a bow on the 2016 Mets season by going through the team's entire roster, finding time for digressions (as we do) on Wilmer Flores' hamate, Jeurys Familia's future, Cespedes' opt-out, Bartolo Colon's greatness, and Jon Niese's 2017 contract status. We also chat a bit about Tim Tebow's impending Arizona Fall League debut before answering your emails on Andrew McCutchen, bad drafts, and the best pitches in the Mets organization.

"On the day that i become so forgetful that all of this melts away, I will burn all the calanders that counted the years down to such a worthless day."It's nobody's fault really, but here we are. Time for Jarrett to write a bunch of the stuff for the Annual and figure out how many dudes he needs to cut from the 40 to add Marcos Molina. Assuming he ever gets out of the Citi Field parking lot of course. Jeffrey will be trying to figure out how much he needs to drink to write about the Marlins system. Life goes on. 

The Mets are in the playoffs, sort of. So this is a playoff preview, sort of. In the first half of the show we are joined by David Roth to reflect on the 2016 Mets season, the snack options in Wilmington DE, and the Justin Ruggiano experience. In the second half of the show, Jonathan Bernhardt from Today's Knuckleball comes on to discuss the rest of the playoffs, dish out some trolls, and read out bad Orioles drafts. Finally in the third half of the show, we answer your e-mails and bicker about the Wild Card game roster.

We didn't really feel like doing a podcast honestly, but there is always baseball to talk about, and that is why it is the best, even when it is also the worst.

In Episode 20 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett aren't quite ready to be discussing playoff rosters yet, but are very ready to discuss Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom, Gabriel Ynoa, and multiple Riveras in the first half of the show. In the second half, Toby Hyde is here to discuss the development of Robert Gsellman, Seth Lugo, and solar energy projections. And in the third half of the show we answer your e-mails, and then talk pro wrestling for an hour with Tom Holzerman. Consider yourself forewarned.

Roughly around when Montero was left in to give up a bomb to Mat Latos (who has a cat named Cat Latos), Jarrett gchatted Jeffrey to demand a podcast. Once Gabriel Ynoa was removed from the game, Jeffrey acquiesced, we called the Kates, and this is the result.

In Episode 19 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett are joined by noted Florida woman, Kate Feldman, as they discuss the NL Cy Young race, the Giants and Cardinals stumbling in September, and when we might finally see Gavin Cecchini actually play. Next, in the second half of the show, it's...sigh...Tebow Time. Finally, in the third half of the show, we answey your emails and Kate extracts her revenge of Jeffrey for 18 episodes of wrestling talk (and a previous CM Punk digression in Episode 19, but commandeering the end of the show to discuss the Pitch pilot.

The Mets are still in a playoff race as we record our 18th episode. We are as shocked as you are. In the first half of the show, we zoom out and look at playoff and award races across baseball, at least when not getting distracted by the usual stuff. Jarrett had to go to Trenton to watch a game, so in the second half of the show, we just let David Roth (in case you couldn't figure out he might be appearing from the title) riff on ethnomusicology, Seth Lugo, and Korean baseball. Then in the third half of the show, we talk spin rate, Nabil Crismatt, and relievers.

In Episode 17 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey is mourning the lack of a This Week in Gabriel Ynoa, Jarrett is recovering from a four-hour indy wrestling show, and there is a lot to cover in Metsland.In the first half of the show, we break down the week that was, going day-by-day through the Mets series with the Cardinals and Phillies while examining our frustrations with the Collins and Alderson administration, pleading for a Cespedes extension, grousing about the difficulties of providing new analysis every week, wondering about the Mets rotation, and expressing befuddlement at the Mets handling of Michael Conforto.In the second half of the show, we are joined again by good friend Greg Karam to review the Mets minor league season. What is going on with Robert Gsellman, how about Seth Lugo's spin rate, is Andres Gimenez a top 10 prospect in this system? All these questions, and a cheeky Dom Smith e-mail,will be answered.And in the third half of the show we discuss indy rock, playoff odds, sunk costs, a

We return with regular programming, which means a two-plus-hour podcast with too much pro wrestling talk. In the first half of the show we chat about when and if to shut down Syndergaard and Matz, if Travis d'Arnaud is now underrated again, and what the Mets should do this offseason with Neil Walker. In the second half, Mike Vorkunov of BP Mets and everywhere else on the interent joins us to break down exactly where the 2016 Mets season went wrong. And in the third half of the show, we chat about Mets prospects Ali Sanchez and Luis Carpio (and eventually, inevitably, Dominic Smith) and then wrap up the show with about forty minutes on NXT Takeover II and the general future direction of the WWE. Like we said, back to regular programming.

So somtimes you start out to record the second half of the show with some friends and it spirals out of control into a whole show because it is one in the morning in Boston and you have had a few beers. And sometimes you realize only fifty minutes of that audio is usable because it is one in the morning in Boston, you've had a few beers, and Kate Morrison has spilled beer all over the floor of your hotel room. And then, you have packed your podcast mic in a box for ytour move, but you don't remember what box,Anyway, in Episode 15 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarret are joined by Kate Morrison and Jon Choiniere of Baseball Prospectus and Pitch Info to discuss SaberSeminar, Gabriel Ynoa, the continuing saga of Terry Collins and Michael Conforto, Tim Tebow (apparently), 80-grade hair, and Andres Gimenez. 

In Episode 14 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett dissect the tire fire that is the NL East Second Wild Card race. The Mets are still in it, we don't know how. But in the first half of the show we examine Cespedes' DL stint and what it might mean for the Mets playoff hopes and the Mets outfield alignment (and Cespedes' golf game). We also take a look at the fifth starter candidates with Logan Verrett potentially on the outs. In the second half of the show we answer your e-mails about first base gloves and Japanese pro wrestling crowds, before Jarrett sidedrains the podcast into a long A-Rod chat.In the third half of the show we talk Mets prospects and Jeffrey brings back the IFK Goteborg update, because if the pro wrestling chat hasn't scared you away, might as well roll out the soccer talk.
