On new episode of the “Amazin’ But True” podcast with Jake Brown and Nelson Figueroa, the guys open the show talking about the Mets sweeping the Athletics. They discuss the wild weekend of games, just how bad the A’s are, Pete Alonso continuing to mash home runs and the bullpen badly needing another reliever. They react to Brett Baty getting called up, what it means for the lineup, Max Scherzer’s sore back and the series ahead against the Dodgers. (18:43) Former Mets All-Star infielder and 2015 NLCS MVP Daniel Murphy then joined the show. Murphy talks about returning to baseball to play for the Long Island Ducks this year, what made him come back to play, his memories with the Mets, his historic 2015 playoff run at the plate and leaving the Mets for the Nationals in free agency.
