Hey everybody. It's another edition of the Shay Anything podcast. Doug Williams, alongside Andy Martino.

We are in a different location than usual. We're not in the studio.

Audio only today. It's an audio only episode today. We're not in the studio because Marcus Stroman just did a conference call.

He is now in New York Met and we aired it on our social media platform.

So you don't need to get in it. We don't need to get in the technicalities of broadcasting.

You should explain why that means we're not on just quickly and then we'll move on.

I don't. I actually don't know the answer.

It means because we're taping later than usual in the studios.

For booked, no, right, Jeff?

Our producer Jeff Goldman really wants to get involved in the show.

He's in the room, acting like he's not.

He's with us.

Yeah, okay. So I got basically 50-50 responses, Andy, on my little new segment at the top of the show of whether people like the recaps or not. So you know what? I'm just going to do it.

Most people said they liked it.

Since we last spoke, Mets are 5 and 1. They're five games under 500, six out of the wild card. But they've gone over a couple teams. They've leaf-frogged a couple

teams. So it feels closer than ever, even though they're now six-out, still not exactly

in contention. And they acquired Marcus Stroman from the Toronto Blue Jays for Anthony Kaye and

Simeon Woods Richardson. So you're all caught up. That's the gist of it. They've been playing good baseball.

They made a huge trade.

Andy's obviously been all over it.

Where do you want to start?

You want to start with whether or not you were caught off guard by this.
