A Pod of Their Own, Episode 209: More pitchers, please!

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 happenings of the Mets’ second half so far, including the season series sweep of the Yankees, which no one can ever take away from us. We also discuss the truly unfortunate turn of events for Kodai Senga, who is done for the regular season, and what this means for the pitching outlook and the Mets’ trade deadline plans. Next, we talk about the acquisitions of Ryne Stanek and Jesse Winker and beg the Mets to acquire at least one more pitcher before the trade deadline. We also take a look at the other major trades that have happened across baseball thus far. 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.  You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Home Run Applesauce podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.
