Episode 200: So this is a winning streak?

Welcome back to Amazin' Avenue Audio - we've delayed our big, celebratory spectacular for a few weeks, but are here with another installment of the podcast to tide you over during your long weekend.

First up, Brian Salvatore and Chris McShane discuss what a playoff race in the era of Wild Cards looks like, the surprisingly good starting pitching, and more (1:59).

Steve Sypa and Greg Karam talk about some of the Mets pitching prospects that might make an impact down the stretch of this season (34:38).

Lukas Vlahos looks at the Mets’ decision not to trade either of their back-end bullpen pieces (45:43), Aaron Yorke looks at the newly likable Mets team (51:15), and finally, Kate Feldman reads our Panic City Meter, and is all in on this team (59:03).

You can follow all of our contributors on Twitter: Brian (@BrianNeedsaNap), Chris (@chrismcshane), Kate (@kateefeldman), Aaron (@apy5000), Lukas (@lvlahos343), Steve (@stevesypa), and Greg (@gregkaram).
