    Sparkling Fraud

    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 Kodai Senga acclimating to the closer role (including having cool entrance music), Jorge Polanco’s season-ending surgery, and Nolan McLean and Carson Benge making their Rookie of the Year cases.  In a very hefty baseball segment this week, we cover Jen Ramos Eisen and Frankie de la Cretaz’s reporting on the WPBL, a video detailing baseball’s current revenue structure ahead of the CBA battle this offseason made by our friends at Tipping Pitches in collaboration with More Perfect Union, a Padres coach getting detained by ICE, the financial crimes of Dodgers owner Mark Walter, and reporting by Joon Lee going behind the curtain at FanDuel (our weekly “sports betting is a cancer” segment).  We also encourage our listeners to get their pledges in for Dollars for Dingers 2026! 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.

    Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.

    A slightly more watchable disaster

    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 the fact that the Mets have ironically been a bit more watchable since trading a significant chunk of the roster away at the deadline. We chat about the entirely new Mets’ bullpen—and we’re talking entirely new since Devin Williams has hit the IL—who has a lot to play for next season. We also discuss Carson Benge accidentally getting rid of Kodai Senga’s first save baseball and Francisco Lindor’s recent comments about wanting to stay a Met.  We also chat about the first full week of games in the WPBL and Heights standout star Denae Benites.  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.
