A Pod of Their Own, Episode 165: Pockets and Pride May 31, 2023

Show notes

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 past week in Mets baseball, in which the Mets lost two series to last place teams, thus eviscerating the good vibes from the week before. But we did also chat about this fun article in The Athletic about Buck Showalter’s fashion choices.

Next, we talk about players responding to the Dodgers re-inviting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to their Pride celebration. Clayton Kershaw specifically organized a Christian Faith and Family night in response and former Met Trevor Williams tweeted a statement in which he expressed his offense about the Sisters’ inclusion. We also discussed Anthony Bass’ recent bigoted social media exploits and subsequent apology and the Astros punching down at A’s fans on Twitter.

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.

Flushing is Burning: Fangirling over Francisco May 30, 2023

Show notes

Grace and Christian spend way too much time talking about how well Francisco Álvarez has played and examine a tough June schedule, wondering if the Mets can continue playing up to their competition.

They also investigate the continued Pride Night fiasco in Los Angeles, a new target in the culture war, and a strange stadium rendering in Las Vegas. Are the A's really going to move?

Flushing is Burning: 21 years later, Mike Piazza is still not gay May 30, 2023

Show notes

Twenty-one years ago, Mike Piazza told assembled media at Veterans Stadium that he was not gay in reaction to rumors published in the New York Post. That event had huge ramifications in baseball and continues to haunt a league still struggling with homophobia.

Grace and Christian discuss how that event transpired, as well as examine the Dodgers' Pride Night fiasco and the solidarity in LA's queer community. They also talk about the Mets' winning streak, Pete Alonso's pelvic thrusts, and how terrified Christian was about Grace going viral.
