A Pod of Their Own, Episode 194: A Cliffs Notes of Bad Things

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 mostly bad, but pretty eventful opening series of the year. We chat about the bad starting pitching and hitting performances, but also the silver linings, including the performance of Francisco Alvarez thus far.

We also talk about the ongoing beef between Rhys Hoskins and the Mets.

Next, we launch a fundraiser to celebrate five years of the podcast and our 200th episode. Between now and our 200th episode roughly six weeks from now, for every $5 you donate to Baseball for All, you will get one entry into a raffle for cool prizes. Send us your donation receipt/confirmation via DM on socials (@apodoftheirown) or email it us at [e-mail] 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.
