1B/2B/3B/LF/RF Ty Kelly joined the Good Fundies boys and talked about playing in the 2016 Wild Card Game (17:30), if he brings up how he got a hit off of Madison Bumgarner every single day (18:40), going vegan and if he still eats at Chipotle (20:10), growing up a Giants and A’s and Braves fan because of Saved by the Bell (24:40), the funniest Met besides himself (26:00), how to make friends in baseball (27:20), his excellent memory of opposing pitchers (30:40), the trouble with playing in Las Vegas (33:10), the superpowers and wondrous hair of Matt Reynolds (35:10), who has the best hair on the Mets (35:40), transitioning from Triple-A to the majors (37:05), the challenges of mostly playing on the bench (41:20), how he compares to Mike Trout (43:30), the dumb jock stereotype (49:40), the one thing he would change if he were the commissioner (51:00), if the balls are juiced (54:50), challenges (56:00), and how one organization did spring training much better than anybody else (57:35).

Before that convo, Roger and Brian talked about Carlos Beltran (05:20). After that convo, they determined who the worst player the Mets could get in free agency (01:06:40), Todd Frazier (01:11:20), Sandy Alderson’s tough love with Dominic Smith (01:13:10), Logan Morrison (01:16:40), if Lucas Duda should come back (01:17:40), and what offseason move they would be most shocked by (01:18:50).

Following the triumphant return of METCON (01:23:20), the boys answered mailbag questions about Keith Hernandez’s best Fox moment (01:29:15), which Met will wear the cursed Santa outfit this year (01:31:10), who would look better with Jacob deGrom’s old hair (01:33:25), when the DOMCON alert arrives (01:35:35), what next year’s Opening Day outfield would look like (01:37:30), the New York Excelsior (01:46:25), and if Mickey Callaway’s love of curveballs will change deGrom and Seth ‘Spin Rate’ Lugo’s pitching (01:47:10).

They didn’t have time to talk about #bullpenning this time around, but it’ll happen.

Apologies to Sean Gilbert for the super obvious late second drop-in. We regret the error forever.
