Talkin Mets with Mike Silva

Talkin Mets with Mike Silva


Doc, Darryl, deGrom and Wally

July 17, 2016

Mike Silva is joined by Bob Klapisch and Wally Backman on this week's podcast. Bob and Mike review the ESPN 30-for-30 Documentary about Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden. Hear Bob talk about his experience covering those late-eighties Mets teams, where things went wrong for the duo and whether the Mets could have prevented their demise.

Jim “Mojo” Morrison of the Charlotte Knights joins the podcast as a guest contributor. Mojo is part of the Knights’ game day operations and had an opportunity to talk to Las Vegas 51s skipper Wally Backman during this year’s Triple-A All-Star Game. Hear Wally give his thoughts on Michael Conforto, some of the Mets top prospects and whether Josh Edgin can help the Mets bullpen.

Finally, Mike Silva tells you why Jacob deGrom is the Mets starter he would always hand the ball off in a big spot. He also debunks the narrative by the fan base that the  Mets are “decimated by injuries.”
