The Mets vanquished all of their demons by sweeping the Miami Marlins at home, and then they flew out to the Pacific Northwest to be a little embarrassing again. Mark "Swaggy V" Vientos responded to criticism by saying "I have to give myself props."

This week on Hits Different, Ellen, Kait, and Dave report from a dank cave to talk about the pitchforks that are out for Swag, the lore behind the fake stat "game-winning RBI," the ethics of gambling and the ethics of having a 40-year-old ballboy who is dealing drugs to the players.

Ten years ago this week, Mets manager Terry Collins begged for one more chance to try to kill Chase Utley—and you know what? He was right.

This time on Hits Different, David breaks down an iconic moment in Mets history. Also, Kaitlyn reveals another irritating feminist stance she has been stewing over, and Ellen receives some thrilling information in a voicenote from Listener Thalia. We talk a bit about the 2026 New York Mets as well, but there's only so much we could say about what happened in Miami.

You gotta believe! LGM!

We were so back, then it was so over, then we were so back again, and then it was a little bit over. And next? Who knows!

This week on Hits Different, Ellen and Dave recap their first Subway Series experience, and we get into conspiracy theories about why the Mets briefly gave Gary Carter's number to new Baby Met Nick Morabito. (Morabito has since switched to #55, in honor of Dicky Lovelady and/or Ryne Stanek.) The Yankees broke Clay Holmes leg and I had to see Brett Baty strike out on the side of a hotel in Times Square. But then Tyrone Taylor broke the Yankees and Brett Baty hit a home run into a dumpster.

Francisco Lindor may be back in June!

Who is your all-time favorite Met? Great question from a young listener this week. Let us know who yours is!
