In our baseball segment this week, we discuss Steve Cohen being in the Epstein Files, Tony Clark’s resignation as head of the MLBPA, and the controversial end to the World Baseball Classic semifinal between the United States and the Dominican Republic.  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.

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

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. 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.

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.  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.

The Mets had an incredibly active 24-hour period, trading for Luis Robert Jr, Freddy Peralta, and Tobias Myers in exchange for Luisangel Acuña, Truman Pauley, Jett Williams, and Brandon Sproat. Just a week ago, fans were discussing how the team was having a terrible offseason, but the additions of Bo Bichette and this trio of new players has really put the team into a new conversation. Allison, Brian, and Thomas gather to discuss the new players, the reality of having a good farm system, what else might be done by the Mets, and why fans should never count their chickens before pitchers and catchers report.

Grace is back, recovered from yet another illness, to talk about the latest in baseball. First she gets into the Mets, who lost quite a few long time Mets while adding some big name free agents. They also have some big news brewing potentially with the Hall of Fame results imminent. Next, she speed runs the league's free agency news, trying to cover all of the big moves, especially the biggest move of Tucker. Then she once again comments on the "character clause" of the Hall of Fame qualifications, and the misuse of it to punish only what is perceived as bad for baseball and not actual major character flaws (and often crimes). Finally, she does an irreverent trans comedy as a movie minute, but it turns into a double movie minute when she realizes that movie is not currently widely available to the public.

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 very busy 24 hours for the Mets between Thursday night when they missed out on Kyle Tucker and Friday afternoon when they pivoted to Bo Bichette instead. We also talk about whether a salary cap or a lockout is coming for baseball and where the Mets go from here this offseason. We also talk about the state of the NL East with the Mets sniping Bichette from the Phillies and the Braves losing their starting shortstop to injury for the first half of the season. We also shout out the record-breaking attendance at Capital One Arena in Washington DC for the PWHL game between the New York Sirens and the Montreal Victorie.

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 bemoaning the lack of activity by the Mets, but really also across all of baseball. The stove: she is very cold. But there have been crumbs of rumors involving the Mets, who are still seeking to add a starting pitcher and an outfielder.   We also say more power to Alex Cohen for simply logging off. In the second half of the show, we talk about the A’s trying (and failing) to get a trademark for their team name, the implications the escalating situation in Venezuela has for baseball and the World Baseball Classic, and how AI is biased against women’s sports. 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.

We then talk about the Mets’ plan for the rest of the offseason, which is hard to see right now, but will hopefully crystallize eventually.  Next, we chat about the Jorge Polanco and Luke Weaver signings.  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.
