41. You Can't Do Better Than 7-0!

Hits Different ·

2025/04/26

Let's get this out of the way: Yes, the Mets spoiled their perfect week at home by telling Brett Baty—the very same who hit a two-run home run off of perennial Cy Young favorite Zach Wheeler, the only reason that the Mets were able to walk off the Phillies and complete the sweep—to get lost back to Syracuse. This decision was reported on David's birthday, which in my opinion was fucking insane. We were having the BEST time!!! The following day, the Mets re-signed noted homophobe Brooks Raley.Also in

2025/04/19

Please note this podcast episode was recorded early in the day on THURSDAY APRIL 17 and we had no idea what was coming (Brett Baty five-game hit streak, Keith saying "cue the music," Francisco Lindor first-ever walk-off homerun as a New York Met ahahahahahahaha). If you're still willing to think about last week's hugely mid and chilly road trip, have we got a show for you.The Mets had another 3-3 stint during which they sometimes looked like they had completely forgotten how to play baseball. But

39. Would You Boo Our Friend Brett Baty?

Hits Different ·

2025/04/12

This week on Hits Different, we're processing a glorious 5-1 home stand in which it was way too chilly and Jesse Winker's hair looked way too good. We're also talking about the schism dividing the Mets fandom—is it okay to boo Brett Baty, a 25-year-old who never did anything to you and tries really hard? On mic, we forgot to address the actual insanity of Brett choosing "Glory Days"—a song about being excellent at something in high school and then terrible at it as an adult—for his walk-up song

2025/04/05

WINTER IS OVER IF YOU WANT IT As ever, we return to the question, "How many people can Pete Alonso carry out of a burning building?" NOW WE KNOW. The answer is: "At least 25 full-grown, professional athlete-sized men."PETE has the Mets on his back, yet they do not seem to be wearing heavy on him. In fact, he loves it!!! And so do we here at Hits Different. In this week's episode, we're talking about Pete Alonso's reverse-apology tour (he tours, everyone says sorry to him), our plans for the first

37. [Brandon Nimmo Tongue-Out Emoji] Mets Are Back!

Hits Different ·

2025/03/23

This week on Hits Different: David, Ellen, and Kaitlyn prepare for the 2025 MLB season by talking about almost everything else they can think of for 90 minutes! Almost certainly the words "Dakota Fanning" are uttered more times than the words "New York Mets." Sorry! We're not going to examine this too closely. We're nervous, but definitely not about Brett Baty. We're anxious, but not because AJ Minter is a Braves sleeper agent who has murdered countless ducks. We're agitated, but not so much by our

PEEEEEEEEEEETEPete Alonso is a New York Met again. Thank you Pete Alonso! No "thank you" to anyone else involved—you have immiserated us for months on end. Ellen, David, and Kait are back on the mic after a long and mentally perilous winter. We're talking about the insurrection at Citi Field otherwise known as "Amazin' Day" and we're talking about PEEEEEEEEEETE.

35. And What About Pete Alonso?

2024/12/12

This week on Hits Different, Ellen and Kaitlyn are talking about the next 15 years of their lives. Juan Soto is going to be part of our households. We'll be middle-aged when Juan Soto retires from being a Met. Ellen's son Bobby will be driving a car! Dave is away but he has the same next question as the rest of us: What about Pete? When will the Mets say "Pete—Met for life"? Where is Pete? Why is Pete posting on Instagram about "chlorophyll water"? Pete?This episode was recorded BEFORE we learned

34. Free Agency Fake News Season

2024/11/17

This week on Hits Different, we're talking about the PowerPoint presentation that's going to convince Juan Soto to sign with the Boston Red Sox and the AI-generated image of him in a Toronto Blue Jays uniform that might change his mind. Every meeting has gone "well" so far—in what way might a meeting between a person hoping to receive $600 million and a group of people hoping to give it to him go poorly? Long story short, every piece of alleged news we saw this week was made up entirely.Except for

2024/11/01

In our first off-season episode, we're talking about the "World Series" which was a "clash of the titans," and we're also Googling and combing the stacks at the library in search of just ONE good baseball ghost story. If you know of any, please email us!! hitsdiffpodcast@gmail.comKaitlyn and Ellen also meticulously research the current whereabouts of the 2024 New York Mets. We miss them all the time! Where are they?? Regrettably, it did not occur to us that if we only waited a little later into

2024/10/22

We're in "don't cry because it's over" mode ... but we're crying anyway! Our cups runneth over! Some older gents in recent days have compared the 2024 Mets to the 1986 Mets and that's wrong. The 1986 Mets were bad people. Our Mets are heroes and they deserve a rest. The only sad part is we'll miss them so much.This week on Hits Different, we recap the National League Championship Series, in which Francisco Lindor ruined the Dodgers pitching staff's little scoreless inning streak, Sean Manaea struck

2024/10/13

It's Sunday morning in the greatest city in the world and the Mets have given us a little time to breathe and take in 40 different angles of every amazing thing that has happened in the past two weeks.This week on Hits Different, we are stretching our legs and cracking our knuckles and going for another nearly-two-hour pod after a week of harried emergency episodes. We're talking about Garth Brooks's early aughts effort to play Major League Baseball, as well as Ellen's plans for the Grimace tattoo

Francisco Lindor says Mark "Swaggy V" Vientos is making himself famous by being incredible, to which we say: Fact check PASSED.This week on Hits Different, Ellen and Kaitlyn recap the first two games of that National League Division Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets. It's an interesting contrast between two fandoms—one of which regards all of this as gravy after an improbably fun year and one of which is maintaining arms caches and vowing to commit mass violence if they

2024/10/04

A quick and chaotic one for posterity! Ellen calls in from a SAT phone at the Hits Different international bureau located inside of a Danish spa. We have nothing to say really except we can't believe it, but you gotta believe it. These guys are MAGIC. That rally gourd is stupid but we LOVE it. Pete rewarded the faith we had in him all year and as you may know it is not really faith if it depends on rewards but THANK YOU PETE ALONSO. We love you so much.We forgot to do some media criticism on mic

Hits Different ·

2024/10/01

This is obviously the worst episode of Hits Different by far and we had no plan for it and half of it doesn't make sense. Producer Nathan had notes for us, such as, "You can’t scream into the mic like that at the end of the episode ily" and "Or if you do you have to tell me. You’re gonna blow someone’s ears out" We are so tired! We are so happy! Yesterday, we watched an INSTANT CLASSIC Mets game while doing our laptop jobs.Let's go Mets!!!!!!!!!!!! Hosted on Acast.

2024/09/30

We snuck this one in during the early hours of what may be one of the longest days of our lives!! This week on Hits Different we're talking about how close the Mets' playoffs hopes came to slipping away and how close they have come to re-snatching them back from the jaws of defeat once again. Forgive that metaphor, it's not my best!! Tylor Megill has a chance to become Mets Ty-LORE and potentially have never a bad word said against him again for the rest of his life. Ellen and Kaitlyn have a chance

Flushing has descended into chaos!! There are 45,000 people drinking beers at the same time and in a place barely built to hold them. There's a one-man band playing The Killers under the subway tracks. There's good reason to think the National Guard could have been on-call. Brandon Nimmo is continuing his series of populist rants on the infield.

It's LATE NIGHT on Hits Different. Hits Different AFTER HOURS. That's the only way I can think of to summarize the episode—also, to be transparent, I am at work and I don't have time to write anything else. It's Ellen and Kaitlyn on a Sunday night after a few brewskis yapping about the Mets and at times feeling a bit sad.Thank you producer Nathan and let's go Mets!! Hosted on Acast.

We are very, very worried about Brett Baty. We know you don't care—and that's why we're worried. This week on Hits Different, we're talking about a 6-1 week for the New York Mets. We're talking about how hard it would be to snap a baseball bat over your thigh. We're talking about what to send J.D. Martinez and his girlfriend Brooke off of their public baby registry. How about a pack of diapers and a little piece of advice: Make that private, you guys!! Ellen hates "Yankees Suck" chants but free

No time to write an elaborate description of this week's episode—we're off to the ballpark! It's the last day of summer and the first day of a new series against the Boston Red Sox.[ED NOTE: ONCE AGIN WE APOLOGIZE FOR AN ERROR, THIS ONE OUR WORST YET. THE ORIGINAL AUDIO WAS MESSED UP AND WRONG. WE WERE IN TOO BIG OF A HURRY TO GET TO THE BALLPARK AND WATCH ANOTHER CLASSIC METS WIN. THE AUDIO IS NOW NORMAL.

2024/08/27

You know that stupendously annoying Optimum commercial that plays 150 times during every single baseball broadcast? The Wi-Fi installation lady is like, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, but mostly, times were just okay." That's actually exactly how it feels in Mets world right now: Each week has a true BEST day of our lives, a true WORST day of our lives, the vibes are just okay, nobody around us ever knows what we're talking about, and we're getting a little brain-fried from
