    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 running down the fully (lengthy) list of trades the Mets made at the deadline and talk about where the organization stands now.  Next, we talk about the Mets being the first MLB team to partner with a prediction market (boo) and Opening Day for the Women’s Professional Baseball League (yay).  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.

    Dead Cat Bounce?

    Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. Brian and Chris convene to talk about a surprisingly good week of Mets' baseball. However, the huge gap between the Mets and the rest of the Wild Card teams means that, despite playing much, much better, things are still looking fairly bleak for the club. Discussions include Ryan Clifford's all of nothing approach, the injury to Mark Vientos, and Juan Soto's sole All-Star appointment.  Chris’s Music Picks: Yoo Doo Right/Nolan Potter/Population II - Yoo II avec Nolan Potter Brian’s Music Picks: Various Artists - In the Beginning There Was Rhythm (Soul Jazz Records) 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.
