A Pod of Their Own, Episode 210: It’s a Monstars thing

Home Run Applesauce: A New York Mets podcast

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 in which they muddled frustratingly toward 80-something wins. We talk about the major positives and negatives we see about the Mets right now and the current status of the National League Wild Card.

Next, we talk about the baseball media continuing to platform bad people. We also take a moment to honor the legacy of Billy Bean and mourn this great loss to the baseball community. We also bring up Freddie Freeman’s family situation as a reminder that baseball players are human beings, first and foremost.

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.
