0:00.0	Very excited for this episode of the Shaming podcast. Former Mets general manager Omar Mania joins us as a special guest. We have a lot to discuss currently what is going on with the Mets offensively. What would he do as a general manager to remedy it? Is there anything for a general manager to do? We'll discuss some look back at Jacob de Grom, a look back at Matt Harvey as well,
0:23.2	and we'll talk Lindor and some reminiscing on some Sports Illustrated shoots when he was in
0:28.2	the job with the New York Mets, all coming up on the Shandini podcast. It starts right now.
0:42.1	Welcome to the show, everybody.
0:45.0	Once again, Shane, I think is brought to you now by Verizon.

1:30.9	He saw them before we all did.
1:32.9	And he has some specific memories of them and kind of how they became the pitchers that they eventually became.
1:40.9	And that's really interesting stuff to get into.
1:42.8	But first, I know any Met fan listening to this, we're recording this on Thursday afternoon, is annoyed at their team,
1:50.8	once again, Omar, for not scoring runs for Jacob de Gras. Now, the team offensively is in a funk.
1:57.3	So yes, it's nothing new that DeGrom pitched well and they didn't score runs for him,
2:03.0	but this is a team that I think the fans expected more of offensively. So if you were the GM in a time
