It’s time for a brand-new episode of the “Amazin’ But True” podcast with former Met Nelson Figueroa and me. We open the show reacting to the big news that Noah Syndergaard will miss the 2020 season after needing Tommy John surgery and won’t be back until sometime during the 2021 season.
How will Syndergaard’s injury impact the Mets? Does he throw too hard and work out too hard before the season? What will the starting rotation look like without him? Figgie and I also share our Opening Day memories. I share the tradition my dad and I have of going to the Mets home opener together — this would have been our 18th straight. Figgie looks back to memorable openers in his big-league career, including when he got cheered and Aaron Heilman got booed right after him at Shea.

NY Post baseball columnist Ken Davidoff drops by to talk about Syndergaard’s injury, who will replace him, his Opening Day memory and how the shortened baseball season could work out.
Comedian and rabid Mets fan Jim Breuer then joins the pod. Breuer covers a lot of ground, talking about what he’s doing now, playing wiffleball in his backyard, how he became a Mets fan, his favorite Opening Day memory coming in 2015, his Mets game-reaction videos taking off, playing at fantasy camp and what he thinks of the current team. We also play a little Mets trivia with him. He was stumped.
