Episode 53: "In the Shadow of Two Aces"

In Episode 53 of For All You Kids Out There it sure feels like a lot longer than a week since we last recorded a podcast. It's only been a week though, and we know this because in the first half of the show we go day-by-day through the last week in Flushing. It's been...busy. On the agenda is Syndergaard's lat, Gsellman's struggles, very good prospects (not Mets), very good prospects (a certain potential Mets shortstop), not-a-victory-lap about Paul Sewald, definitely not-a-victory-lap about Paul Sewald, somebody on the Mets' martial aid, and of course...This Week in Matt Harvey.

In the second half of the show we are joined by Matthew Callan, author of Yells for Ourselves to discuss his book about the 1999-2000 Mets squads. We break down the Mike Piazza trade, spend almost as time on the Mike Bordick trade, and even more time on 20th century atonal opera.

In the third half of the show we answer your correspondence, and there is a lot of it so the pro wrestling segment is actually pretty brief, we promise.

To pre-order Matt's excellent book (which we both unreservedly recommend, go to https://www.inkshares.com/books/yells-for-ourselves-1ef7e5.
