David is on vacation, Ellen is back from vacation! She tells us all about her new favorite ballpark (omg) and another ballpark she went to last week that she also liked but not as much. We spent more time than we felt good about trying to figure out when Pete and Haley Alonso are having their baby. Sorry, it was girl talk! This isn't a Larry Stylinson, Babygate situation, we're just excited.

Longgggggg episode this week. Girl talk!

I'm posting this right after the Mets lost the series to the Reds, so I feel vindicated in having been a bit of a bummer on mic a couple days ago. I had been thinking "that was wrong of me." No. Always right!

Producer Nathan and I will be going to Yankee Stadium on 9/11. If any Yankees fans listen to this (eek!!) please let us know what the best snacks are. As you know, I can't have anything with ketchup because your stadium does not provide Heinz.

Let's go Mets!

Francisco Alvarez is sort of like the Joker if he was nice. He wears the craziest suits I've ever seen and after he breaks a bone or tears a ligament in half it's a matter of days until he is back to peak physical performance. Also he kind of growls wordlessly sometimes.

This week on Hits Different, David and Kaitlyn discuss the head injury that Kaitlyn suffered last week, compelling her to sleep through podcast recording time and then to yell at Mr. Met in a crowded subway station. That was awful and resulted in the Mets losing two out of three to the Nationals. But now we're ok and the Mets are back! This episode was recorded before the debut of the wonderful Canadian infant Jonah Tong and we also didn't yet know that he was going to select the #21, previously worn by Max Scherzer. Producer Nathan can potentially just have some letters swapped out on the jersey that's been gathering dust in the closet. It's Tong Time!

The Phillies are terrified of the Mets? The World Series is back on?

When Ellen comes back from California and we can ask her, then we will know for sure.

Let's go Mets!

This week on Hits Different, Ellen, David, and Kait catch up on another brutal week of Mets baseball. But for one brief, shining moment there was a Camelot...

Pete Alonso broke the Mets all-time homerun record which was one of the greatest moments of many lives. And he beat the Braves' brains in to boot. We are all so happy that Pete received a startlingly large piece of artwork made from baseball trash from his billionaire boss who allegedly knows something about fine art. You could sort of see Pete's face flickering between thinking it was cool and wondering whether it would have to be hung up only in the basement. He is one of the greatest people alive in this country today I don't think that's in question!!!

Anyway, after that, Mets kept losing. We support them and it's fine. Whatever they see fit to do, we are behind them. We looked at some baseball cards from 1989 and Ellen broke off four of her teeth on mic.

Listener Lance you saved us. Let's go Mets!!!!!!!!
