Ryan and I discussed the pitching and hitting on this episode of NY Mets 101. My thoughts Bassett would have been a welcome addition to this pitching staff. I know he choked in Atlanta but he was a workhorse for us and I don't think was ever on the IL. Also if there is one person who has to succeed on this team and who I want to see succeed is Francisco Alvarez. All the hype creates pressure and I am hoping the kid can hold up. Many other things were discussed and I can't help reliving my youth with a short tribute to the original 3 Bob Murphy, Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Kiner. They did games for the Mets for 17 years a number that has now been exceeded by Gary, Keith, and Ron who are starting their 18th season. Enjoy the podcast everybody.
