    30 raw eggs, affordability, and one other thing

    Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  This week, we begin by discussing some notes out of Mets camp, including Ryan Lambert’s unhinged energy (complimentary), Nolan McLean and Freddy Peralta’s strong starts, the battle for the right field job, and more.  Next, we choose our Dudes for 2026—underrated players who we think may make a big contribution to the Mets this season.  In the second half of the show, we talk about the upcoming World Baseball Classic, David Rubenstein’s private equity firm’s shady dealings, Arte Moreno’s notion that fans don’t care about winning, and the Rangers making some questionable decor choices at Globe Life Field. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.  You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Home Run Applesauce podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

    Hamates, captains, and chatbots

    Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  This week, we begin by discussing Francisco Lindor’s recovery from hamate surgery, Juan Soto’s move to left field, and other notes from Port St. Lucie. We also cover the highlights from Steve Cohen’s recent interviews with the media, including his thoughts on losing players to the Dodgers, his frustration regarding lack of World Series titles, and the fact that there will not be a team captain as long as he owns the Mets. We also celebrate SNY’s hiring of former Washington Post baseball writer Chelsea Janes. In our baseball segment this week, we talk about the Orioles owner being named in the Epstein files, WPBL posting what are normally fully paid jobs as unpaid internships (boo), and MLB players being turned into AI chatbots and what a bad idea that is.  Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.  You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Home Run Applesauce podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.
