43. Prodigal Son Returns, Mets Win

This week on Hits Different, we're recapping yet another 3-3 road trip for the New York Mets. Two of the three wins, of course, came after Brett Baty rejoined the team in Arizona. Nobody knows why, but it's the truth: They can't win without him. Brett is becoming a meme on Mets Twitter, which is another way in which he is very similar to Juan Soto, who was diagnosed as non-binary and autistic by a bizarre person who had no idea they were about to instigate so much hilarity on Baseball Internet. Brett, for his part, was called a middle-aged lesbian. But I'm also calling him a meme in reference to the weird phenomenon by which everybody online is suddenly totally in the tank for him after years of wishing him dead. I genuinely think we at Hits Different may have caused this. I know I said we were going to stop talking about Brett so much in every episode and we ARE going to. SOON. Maybe NEXT TIME. Although, we recorded this on Friday morning, so of course we didn't get a chance to talk about Brett's Friday night home run. We'll have to talk about that next week. Maybe in TWO WEEKS we stop talking about Brett. Let's go Mets! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
