A Pod of Their Own, Episode 278: It’s not always about the money, Spider-Man

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 Mets’ rotation woes with Christian Scott hitting the injured list and the Mets having potentially ruined Tobias Myers. We also talk about Sean Manaea potentially being uncooked, the looming return of Francisco Lindor, and the Mets’ new Spider-Man-themed home run celebration. Next, we answer a listener email about Humberto Cruz and discuss the gross display of bigotry by some members of the Giants pitching staff on Pride Night at Oracle Park. We highly recommend you read the words of Brady Klopfer at McCovey Chronicles and Grant Brisbee at The Athletic on the incident. 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.
