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 recent roster shakeups on the Mets, including the arrival of Dicky Lovelady and the demotion of Francisco Alvarez and Luisangel Acuña. We also discuss the Mets’ struggles in general, which come down to injuries and regression on the pitching side and failure to hit with runners in scoring position.
Next, we talk about accusations of abuse against Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle, the Mets including Jose Reyes in their Father’s Day slideshow, the Dodgers pledging money to support immigrant families in LA, and more.
