This episode starts with a 10-minute discussion of the film Rookie of the Year, which some may call "cope." Alas, the 2025 New York Mets were bad. Isn't that more interesting than them being good? (That's cope.)

Ellen, David, and Kait talk about who they would most like to see in the World Series and come to an identical conclusion which is likely to shock you: We don't want the Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, or New York Yankees to be in it. Otherwise it's all gravy. (I'm sorry for saying I don't really root for the Cubs—I will because my Aunt Karen likes them so much and this video of Seiya Suzuki's son was so cute.)

We distribute one last batch of King of New York awards to some of the most deserving and sweetest.

Once again we ask Pete Alonso not to break our hearts.

Dom Hamel we hardly knew you!! Hope you clear waivers, bud. You will always be the MLB-record-breaking 46th pitcher the New York Mets were forced to use in a single season due to a series of ailments and flaws.

This week on Hits Different, we are just trucking along. We are just doing our best! Poor Ellen was not upright for a lot of this. I showed everyone my heinous and tragic prize from the Mets Memorabilia Store "mystery grab bag" experience.

Lest you forget, Pete hit a walk-off home run and went bubble gum bucket to the head. Katia Lindor is the most glamorous woman in New York. 30,000 people got ready to fight a probably nice and normal San Diego pitcher because he hit Francisco Alvarez our ANGEL!!! with a baseball!!! those things are hard!!!!! Brett is on the flag now. Everyone keeps saying "piggy-back."

Uploading this AFTER Pete Alonso single-handedly saved the Mets season. Pete Alonso Met for life. Pete Alonso greatest Met of all time. Sorry for the delay. This week on Hits Different, we're talking about what some are calling the most cursed week of baseball in history. After a spectacular NOBLETIGER situation in which Edwin Diaz took his shoes off on the mound and then destroyed the Cincinnati Reds, the Mets went 1-6 in devastating fashion. Dear lord.

We're talking about the "extremophiles" living in the Gowanus Canal, Harrison Bader's horrific heel-turn, the President's visit to Yankee Stadium, and whether it's better to watch your team flop so hard that the end of the season is chill and silly or whether it's better to CLING TO HOPE until the bitter end.

Official Hits Different ruling: Ya gotta believe!
