Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. Brian and Chris convene to talk about a surprisingly good week of Mets' baseball. However, the huge gap between the Mets and the rest of the Wild Card teams means that, despite playing much, much better, things are still looking fairly bleak for the club. Discussions include Ryan Clifford's all of nothing approach, the injury to Mark Vientos, and Juan Soto's sole All-Star appointment.

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.

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.

Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, Episode 234: The See-Saw Mets
Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. Another strange week of Mets' baseball is in the books. The Mets looked good against the Padres and decidedly not so agains the Cardinals.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.

A Pod of Their Own, Episode 276: No longer in last place!
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’ up and down month of May, which at least ended on a positive note. We talk about whether the Mets can turn things around in June despite their tough schedule with help from the returning injured players. We also chat about the shifting sands of the rotation and congratulate Lee Mazzilli and Bobby Valentine for being inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame. In our baseball segment this week, we cover the opening bouts of the CBA fight, Trevor Williams suddenly becoming every conservative’s favorite baseball player, more degenerate gamblers threatening players’ families, and a very sleazy TMZ article implying that Adrián Beltré and Pedro Martinez believe Wander Franco should get a second chance (though their actual quotes are a bit more nuanced than that). 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.

A Pod of Their Own, Episode 273: Upgraded from sell to don’t buy
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’ play in May, which has been a bit better, but still not good enough. But as we were recording the episode, the news broke that the Mets are shaking things up by promoting AJ Ewing, so we also talked about that pleasant surprise, which saved this from being an even bleaker episode. In the second half of the show, we discuss the extramural activities of a certain former Mets pitcher with a receding hairline, the dismissal of Gabe Alvarez due to harassment allegations, and the glossing over of Bobby Cox’s domestic abuse when discussing his legacy. 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.

A Pod of Their Own, Episode 271: Pathetic, wretched, and unsatisfactory
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, the Mets snapped their 12-game losing streak only to turn around and start a brand new one in which they got swept by the Rockies, scoring one run total across a doubleheader. In the aftermath of the Red Sox clearing house, we wonder how much longer Carlos Mendoza will keep his job. We also talk about roster and injury updates, including Francisco Lindor’s injury, Christian Scott’s brief appearance in the big leagues in his first start back from Tommy John, the designation of Tommy Pham for assignment, and how lost Kodai Senga continues to look. Our only consolation is that the Phillies are just as bad as the Mets are. With that coping mechanism, we wrapped things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

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 wondering—still in April, mind you—if the season can be saved and if Carlos Mendoza’s job can be saved, as the Mets ride a losing streak that is currently 11 games long. We also discuss Jorge Polanco’s trip to the injured list, Juan Soto’s imminent return from the injured list, and the starting pitching Titanic deck chair shuffling. As if the vibes weren’t rancid enough, we also talked about Francisco Lindor’s appearance on Barstool’s podcast and reporting by Bradford William-Davis on Mike Clevinger’s abuse, for which he was not suspended by MLB. 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.

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’ current losing streak and evaluate our level of concern about the offense, which has been struggling mightily during this stretch. Next, we talk about how nobody (except the Dodgers) really looks all that formidable across the league. We also highlight two excellent pieces of baseball reporting from the past week: a piece by Alden Gonzalez of ESPN about the tragic death of a Dominican teenager at the hands of a corrupt system and a story by Sam Blum at The Athletic about corruption of a different stripe—a sham frozen yogurt company that managed to scam the Angels and Diamondbacks out of millions of dollars.

In the second half of the show, we talk about Jo Adell’s incredible defensive game, more instances of players getting insults and threats hurled at them because of legalized sports betting (which is a cancer), and legislation Bernie Sanders has introduced to try to keep sports franchises in their cities.

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 talk about the Mets’ first series of 2026. We review the good (Luis Robert, Lindor looks like Lindor, the high-leverage relievers, the rotation, Carson Benge’s debut) and the bad (high-leverage Dicky Lovelady two days in a row, Bo Bichette’s rough at-bats, Sean Manaea’s velocity). We also talk about the Mets bringing in J.D. Martinez as an advisor to the front office, new information revealed about the Luis Robert trade, ABS challenges, and more.

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 some notes out of Mets camp, including Ryan Lambert’s unhinged energy (complimentary), Nolan McLean and Freddy Peralta’s strong starts, the battle for the right field job, and more. Next, we choose our Dudes for 2026—underrated players who we think may make a big contribution to the Mets this season. In the second half of the show, we talk about the upcoming World Baseball Classic, David Rubenstein’s private equity firm’s shady dealings, Arte Moreno’s notion that fans don’t care about winning, and the Rangers making some questionable decor choices at Globe Life Field.

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.

We also celebrate SNY’s hiring of former Washington Post baseball writer Chelsea Janes. In our baseball segment this week, we talk about the Orioles owner being named in the Epstein files, WPBL posting what are normally fully paid jobs as unpaid internships (boo), and MLB players being turned into AI chatbots and what a bad idea that is.
