Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry—Kaitlyn and Producer Nathan were on vacation in Maine and had to watch the Mets get walked off from the top of a stunning seaside mountain. This episode is very late and—we assume— depressing!

This week on Hits Different, Ellen and David are talking about what the Syracuse Mets should be named. Respectfully, this is the only part of the episode I was able to read a transcription of really fast in between lobster rolls and theatrically long bicycle journeys. I can't wait to learn what else they said!

Let's go Mets!!!!!!

Pete please wait for us to get back to New York <3

Mark "Swaggy V" Vientos was NOT traded to the Miami Marlins, Chicago White Sox, or Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday and for that we are so grateful. He celebrated the news with an Instagram photo dump that included a new girlfriend whom he did NOT tag. Producer Nathan tried to figure out who she was by scrolling through all of Mark's Instagram follows and clicking manually onto the profile of each hot young woman. His Instagram feed is now insane.

This week on Hits Different we're talking about a weird 3-3 West Coast trip, the idea of brothers, the idea of twins, and of course Mark's job-saving (his) and life-saving (mine) grand slam. We received a wonderful question from a listener who wanted to know which celebrity we would sell the Mets to. I mistakenly said that Jose Iglesias is making his return to Citi Field this week, I guess because I was just assuming we were playing series that went Giants-Padres-Giant-Padres, due to the whole schedule being stupid like that up to this point. Candelita will be here in September.

Thanks and sorry!

LGM!

All the Mets are getting married! We should rename them the New York Bridegrooms!

We're back after another horrible experience with a technology gremlin who crazily and unfairly entered our devices and ruined an episode of the show during which we discussed Brett Baty's engagement for upwards of 10 minutes.

This week we're talking about the looming trade deadline, but not in the way where guys who have no experience in baseball management draw up their "mock proposals" and then ask for approval on them from internet strangers. We're only talking about our feelings, really. Mark "Swaggy V" Vientos—this is not a man who should be in Minneapolis or Cleveland, with all due respect to those possibly lovely American cities (wouldn't know). Incidentally, I'm sorry I sound so New York elitist this week and that I didn't know how to say "Wilkes-Barre."

Edwin Diaz almost killed someone two times this week which was interesting. We answered a mailbag question about whether pitchers feel bad when they do this and why they basically never apologize. Send us more questions at hitsdiffpodcast@gmail.com we love them!!

Let's go Mets!
