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 of Mets baseball, including the struggles of Carlos Carrasco, whose career may be over. We talk about all sorts of sad pitcher news, including Shohei Ohtani’s torn UCL, Noah Syndergaard’s DFA, and Stephen Strasburg’s retirement.

We also talk about the Pete Alonso trade rumors and the latest on Edwin Díaz’s progress toward game action.

In our baseball segment this week, we discuss other teams following the Athletics’ lead in threatening to relocate if they do not get the funds for renovated/new stadiums.

A Pod of Their Own, Episode 176: My job is macro Aug 22, 2023

Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, Episode 141: Not Enough Tanking? Aug 20, 2023

Show notes

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

This week, Brian and Chris discuss how the Mets are not good enough at tanking, but not good enough at baseball, and so are in this very strange middle ground in terms of the season record. The lack of a Major League Ronny Mauricio is, again, brought up as well.

Chris’s Music Pick:

Parliament - Mothership Connection

Brian’s Music Pick:

Frank Zappa - Apostrophe (‘)

Flushing is Burning, Episode 17: The emotional toll of tanking Aug 16, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Flushing is Burning, a weekly podcast hosted by Grace Carbone and Christian Romo that examines the Mets, queer issues, and the occasional intersection of the two.

Now that the Mets are playing for 2024 and beyond, Grace and Christian discuss what tanking means for those still invested in the 2023 Mets. And while it’s not a fun discussion, it still leads to thankfulness for those narrating the way through the rest of the season.

They also talk about some Justin Verlander gossip leaked to the New York Post, as well as speculate on which Mets player could have been behind the leak. And while they couldn’t find an easy transition, they also touch on the Wander Franco accusations.

Also, Christian watched Asteroid City! He has some thoughts, and Grace dives into a movie this week that is the complete opposite of Asteroid City.

A Pod of Their Own, Episode 175: Clubhouse chemistry, things of that nature Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

This week, we begin by talking about the truly heinous lineup the Mets put forward against the Braves in Game 1 of Saturday’s doubleheader and debate whether it’s worse than the 2015 lineup in which John Mayberry Jr. batted cleanup.

We then discussed an encouraging piece by Ken Rosenthal in The Athletic that indicated that the Mets do plan to spend money in the offseason. It also contained the framework for a potential Pete Alonso extension, which we wholeheartedly support in spite of unfounded allegations that Alonso is a clubhouse cancer.

In our baseball segment this week, we talk about recent comments by Athletics team president Dave Kaval and disturbing allegations that Wander Franco engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a minor.

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.
