    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 Mets returning from injury and the latest trade deadline rumors, including the heartbreaking idea of a Francisco Lindor trade.  We also pay tribute to Ron Hunt, who passed away last week at the age of 85. Next, we talk about the league putting profits over player safety as games were played amidst poor air quality and the league cracking down on using unauthorized artificial intelligence use on league-issued iPads.  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. It really helps! And you can find us on the Stitcher app, Spotify, or listen wherever you get podcasts.

    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 Mets sputtering into the All-Star break, as expected. We talk about what the Mets might do at the deadline, the roster shuffle as injured players return and relievers cycle in and out, and Kodai Senga’s utility as a one-inning reliever. Next, we talk about Bryce Harper’s war with Fanduel, the league using MLBtv to do salary cap propaganda, and the WPBL names and logos. 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.

    Oh my God we're having a fire....sale

    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, alot happened in Metsland. They traded David Peterson and departed ways with manager Carlos Mendoza who was replaced by Andy Green. In other news, maybe Jorge Polanco will return? It'll be a surprise! And Marcus Semien was placed on the IL with a hip flexor strain after an historically bad day in the field. Nothing is going right in this organization right now. Next, we cover the latest in the CBA negotiations, as the MLBPA wants a ban on indivual prop bets to help protect them from online harrassment. 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.
