A Pod of Their Own, Episode 6: Baseball has a domestic violence problem May 08, 2019

Show notes

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.

This week, we discuss the sad state of the Mets, including the Adeiny Hechavarria/Dominic Smith roster move, the pitching injuries, and the beleaguered offense.

CONTENT WARNING: In the second segment of this week’s show, we speak about domestic violence. If this is content that is difficult for you to listen to or you would prefer not to hear it, skip ahead to the Walk-off Wins segment.

Next, we speak about Major League Baseball’s domestic violence problem and our feelings about that as female baseball fans. Specifically, we cover the way domestic violence has been framed as a redemption narrative when it comes to players like Addison Russell, Roberto Osuna, Jose Reyes, and others, when it is the stories of victims that should be front and center.

We then cleanse our emotion-laden hearts with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Finally, we read our favorite submission to our iTunes review giveaway and announce that the winner of the Jacob deGrom Cy Young bobblehead will be alerted Wednesday morning as the show goes live.

UnforMETable, Episode 5: Nino Espinosa May 07, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past

This week, Rob Wolff travels back to the late 1970s, an era of big hair (but fortunately no plastic grass—at least at Shea). We’ll take a look at the brief but joyful Met tenure of the young, afro-sporting Nino Espinosa.

Hear about Espinosa’s impressive debut, looking like a solid young starter in 1977—including one memorable game in which he almost matched the recent dominance of Noah Syndergaard, driving in the only run of a 1-0 victory—over that year’s soon to be minted Cy Young award winner, Steve Carlton.

You’ll also hear about his quick flame out, getting traded to the Phillies, where he was a member of the 1980 team that won the World Series, though he did not get to play in the postseason. Thereafter, his career ended abruptly; sadly, his life would tragically do the same not much later.

As always, you can listen or subscribe to this and all of our wonderful Amazin’ Avenue Audio 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 wherever you get your podcasts.

A Pod of Their Own, Episode 5: The Mets made mess of the catching situation May 01, 2019

Show notes

This week, we welcome Kellyanne Healey, Amazin’ Avenue moderator, and we begin by discussing how the Mets bungled the backup catcher situation and how the baseball might be affecting the pitchers.

Next, Kellyanne talks about the book Infinite Baseball by Alva Noe and how philosophy can be applied to the game. You can look for her review and other fabulous books on her Goodreads account.

We follow that up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Finally, we reminded everyone of the bobblehead giveaway for our awesome listeners. We have a Jacob deGrom Cy Young bobblehead for one lucky listener who leaves us a review on iTunes. Tune in at (timestamp) and keep an eye on @apodoftheirown for further details on how to enter.

UnforMETable, Episode 5: George Theodore Apr 30, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to UnforMETable, a new show from Amazin’ Avenue that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past

This week, Rob Wolff travels back to the 1973-74 seasons to take a look at the brief but memorable Mets tenure of a gawky, gangly long shot 31st round draft pick that the Shea faithful fondly embraced as ‘The Stork.’

A true 70s character, the meditation-loving outfielder played with passion and abandon—which may in part have led to the devastating outfield collision that sidetracked his career. We’ll talk about a player who fought back to appear in the 1973 World Series and play again in 1974, but was never the same on the field—yet went on to an admirable post-baseball career, and still remains a beloved figure in the rich Mets tapestry.

If you’ve got an idea for a player to be featured on UnforMETable, let us know in the comments.

After, the team discusses the hitter and pitcher of the week, Danny Espinosa and Anthony Kay.

Next, the guys discuss the the conservative philosophy of the Alderson-era Mets in regards to minor league assignments and how that might be changing in the Van Wagenen-era.

Finally, the team reminisces about three players that had success around this time in years past in Oh Yeah, That Guy.

Amazin' Avenue Audio (The Show), Episode 4: The Gio Blues Apr 25, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.

First up this week, we lament the fact that Mets didn't roll the dice on Gio Gonzalez and why, oh why, Jason Vargas is still expected to be this team's fifth starter.

After the break, we discuss the return of Todd Frazier, defensive woes for Amed Rosario and Wilson Ramos, and try to remind ourselves that the Mets are still in first place.

Chris’s music pick for the week:

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Fishing for Fishies

Brian’s music pick:

The Beach Boys - Wake the World: The Friends Sessions

A Pod of Their Own, Episode 4: Mets continue to Mets with ailing deGrom Apr 24, 2019

Show notes

This week, we begin the show with a discussion of how bizarrely the Mets have handled their injured ace - the more things change, the more they stay the same. And on that note, the Mets also seem uninterested in the fact that Gio Gonzalez is there for the taking.

Next, we tackle the issue of MLB and Rob Manfred’s fan-unfriendly approach to media: mysterious blackout zones, severe limitations on the sharing of MiLB videos, and an increasingly-backwards approach to their own collection of highlights.

This week, we have an exciting giveaway as a thank you to our awesome listeners - your very own Jacob deGrom Cy Young bobblehead (MRI machine not included)! Tune in at (timestamp) or keep an eye on @apodoftheirown for details on how to enter.

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.
