OABT S3 E20: The All Star Break Is Here, and Mets Fans Could Use The Time Off
The guys catch up on all the latest with the Mets after a long holiday weekend. Three Mets will represent our team in Cleveland for the All Star Game. Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil, and Jacob deGrom made the trip, and the Polar Bear is a favorite to win tonight's HR derby. Pete McCarthy and Darren Meenan fill out their derby bracket for a chance at $250,000, recap Brodie's visit to The 7 Line Army, discuss the Jake Arrieta vs Todd Frazier beef, and more. Plus, the winner is chosen for this weekends first pitch at the T7LA's Cyclones outing, take a few live calls, and more.
Thanks to our friends at Mikkeller NYC for the tasty beers! Pop in to the brewery the next time you're at Citi Field, and circle Wednesday nights on your calendar for Trivia Night! Kicks off each week at 7pm at the brewery when the Mets are on the road.
An "Orange and Blue Thing" is something that Mets fans can relate to, so that's what we talk about.
The Mets announced that they're creating a tenured system for their season ticket holders, and a lot of fans are pretty upset about it. Even after this disappointing season, some prices are going up, while some special perks (like Opening Day tickets and postseason strips), are going away for select plans.
We're back from Minnesota after hanging an L on T7LA's calendar. An unnamed Mets staffer said to Darren in Starbucks after the game "hope you had a good time before we shit the bed". We're borrowing a segment from SNY's Off Day Live show and Joe DeMayo joins us. Plus, who snubbed Darren for a selfie at the airport?
Pete Alonso, who isn't toxic, hit his 40th and 41st home run of the season. Lindor, who doesn't get enough credit, hit his 25th home run and stole his 25th base. Ronnie Mauricio, who is finally in the Bigs, went 5-11 in his first series. We're hitting Minnesota this Saturday with 700 die hard Mets fans.
