A Pod of Their Own, Episode 266: Call Lovelady & Hudson

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 how the Mets’ pitching staff is shaking out with the current planned six-man rotation and the battle for the last 1-2 bullpen spots. We also discuss the injuries to Robert Stock and Justin Hagenman, the return of Dicky Lovelady (yet again), the latest on the right field battle, Carlos Beltrán’s impending number retirement, and the new transportation methods to get to Citi Field. 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.
