A Pod of Their Own, Episode 237: Lefties need a gap year

Home Run Applesauce: A New York Mets podcast

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’ turnaround this week from three-game losing streak to taking two of three from the Dodgers, driven mostly by their incredible pitching.

Next, we talk about Katia Lindor’s appearance on the mic during Sunday Night Baseball. It was fun and wholesome, but also showed the human side of baseball we talk a lot about on this show.

In our baseball segment this week, we shout out the Twins for their statement on the anniversary of the murder of George Floyd and express our excitement about the 2025 Women’s National Baseball Team development program.

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.
