A Pod of Their Own, Episode 263: We want sunshine! We want baseball!

from Home Run Applesauce: A New York Mets podcast · host Home Run Applesauce

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 expressing excitement that we officially have videos of pitchers throwing, which is the only thing that can thaw us out of our icy winter conclave. We also talk about the Peralta/Myers and Robert trades, give out offseason grades to David Stearns, and celebrate Carlos Beltrán’s election to the Hall of Fame.  Next, we talk about the insurance concerns plaguing the World Baseball Classic and Baseball America’s questionable hiring practices.  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.
