A Pod of Their Own , Episode 212: Inside the Mets are two wolves

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 tenuous hold the Mets have on playoff contention, in part because the Braves cannot be killed. We also discuss Francisco Lindor’s case for NL MVP, whether David Peterson is in fact Good, Francisco Alvarez being ruined by Eric Chavez, Liz Benn leaving the Mets, and more.

Our 2024 Dollars for Dingers campaign is underway and you can make a pledge using this Google spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n2eZFl_nmzP4C83ccbb61Ggwz2r7m-kapJ6L0SXz4IU/edit?usp=sharing

We also hope to see you on September 21st at EBBS at Citi Field at 1:30pm for our raffle event prior to the Mets game!

In the second half of the show, we shout out this article from Marisa Ignemi at the San Francisco Chronicle about female athletes suffering from CTE and the research that needs to be done on how CTE affects women.

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.
