metspolice lagranderusty QBC14 is it too late to make suggestions for additional awards? Cause I think best mets podcast should be one.
Rob_Zloto not at all and that’s a good suggestion. Send me some nominees.
metspolice I’m not a major podcast listener but off top of head: Mostly Mets, Metsblog, KOMP, silva-kranepool (forget name) missing many.
metspolice I also think best comedic metstwitter account should be a nominee.
