Boulder Beachy Bullpen Carts (with Jerry Beach)

This time around the Fundies fellas started the pod discussing whether or not the Mets are going to go on another 11-1 run and just become the streakiest team in baseball history (02:00), give props to those who gave props (09:00), talk about Peter Alonso and Jeff McNeil's promotions to...Triple A (19:30), this week's injury protocol nonsense (23:00), and wondered why MLB promotes Aaron Judge so much but not the possibly better Brandon Nimmo (33:45)

Then Roger welcomed veteran Mets writer Jerry Beach (38:00), who discussed his feelings on his guy Terry Collins getting redemption and viral fame (40:00), how he became the very first staff writer for mets.com (52:00), Derek Bell's love of 'Judge Judy' (57:30), witnessing the grand slam single game in person (59:45), his Forbes article on how eerily similar the 2002 and 2018 Mets are (01:07:30), and oh so much more.

In the mailbag segment, Brian and Roger tried to figure out if they and other Met fans are Sisyphus fighting against ownership (01:27:00), if Lugo should go back to the bullpen when Syndergaard returns (01:36:30), and if Michael Conforto or Brandon Nimmo will have a better career (01:39:30).
