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 a week of Mets baseball in which they found a new way to blow a lead every night. We also speculate about what the pitching staff might look like moving forward, praise Nolan McLean for a fantastic major league debut, and celebrate Pete Alonso’s record-breaking home run. 

Next, we talk about the Little League Classic, potential expansion and realignment in Major League Baseball, and Jen Pawol’s historic moment. 

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.
