This week on Hits Different, Ellen and Kaitlyn are talking about the next 15 years of their lives. Juan Soto is going to be part of our households. We'll be middle-aged when Juan Soto retires from being a Met. Ellen's son Bobby will be driving a car!

Dave is away but he has the same next question as the rest of us: What about Pete? When will the Mets say "Pete—Met for life"? Where is Pete? Why is Pete posting on Instagram about "chlorophyll water"? Pete?

This episode was recorded BEFORE we learned that Juan Soto got the use of the uniform number 22 guaranteed in his contract. Kind of messed up, no? He should have to text Brett Baty and send him an Uber Eats gift card at the very least, no? Brett is so abused. It's actually crazy.

Nevertheless... a big Hits Different welcome to our new guy Juan and LGM!

This week on Hits Different, we're talking about the PowerPoint presentation that's going to convince Juan Soto to sign with the Boston Red Sox and the AI-generated image of him in a Toronto Blue Jays uniform that might change his mind. The hysteria is setting in and everyone is losing their minds. Every meeting has gone "well" so far—in what way might a meeting between a person hoping to receive $600 million and a group of people hoping to give it to him go poorly? Long story short, every piece of "news" we saw this week was made up entirely.

Except for the true, breaking, and incredible news that DAVID SIMS has rejoined the pod. He's back, he's better than ever, he's read 2,000 pages worth of Roger Angell essays since you last heard from him. And you KNOW he has a photographic memory, so you can ask him anything about it.

At the end of this episode, a little something new...

Let's go Mets!

In our first off-season episode, we're talking about the "World Series" which was a "clash of the titans," and we're also Googling and combing the stacks at the library in search of just ONE good baseball ghost story. If you know of any, please email us!! hitsdiffpodcast@gmail.com

Kaitlyn and Ellen also meticulously research the current whereabouts of the 2024 New York Mets. We miss them all the time! Where are they?? Regrettably, it did not occur to us that if we only waited a little later into Halloween evening we would surely see some of those guys as they revealed their Halloween costumes and family outings on the 'gram. Unknown to us at the time of recording: Brett Baty was in Texas and dressed as a pirate as we spoke.

Also unknown at time of recording: Tomas Nido dressed his son up as a baseball!!!!!!!!! I can't link because it's on his wife's private Instagram but he reposted it to his Stories and you can go see it if you are fast. It rules.

Happy Halloween and let's go Mets!
