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’ hiring of David Stearns and what this may mean for the future of the organization. We also make some sad trumpet noises and lament that we will not see Edwin Díaz this year.  Next, we talk about the Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim both making utter fools out of themselves. We also discuss the latest on Julio Urías’ domestic violence arrest, instances of crappy fan behavior and the dehumanization of athletes, and the Rays’ stadium deal. 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.

One month ago, the Mets were seven games out of a Wild Card spot and executed baseball's biggest firesale with the supposed intention of tanking the season. And now, the Mets are still seven games out of a Wild Card spot. Is this the worst possible scenario? And because the Mets news isn't all that interesting nowadays, Grace dedicates a segment to the streaking New York Liberty, who are vying for the top seed in the WNBA playoffs. Will the Libs deliver New York its first WNBA title? What sort of impact has seafoam green had on New York's basketball scene? Is this going to become a basketball podcast? And finally, Grace and Christian discuss MLB rule changes impacting the playoffs and a truly wild movie sweeping the nation.  Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingIsBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Shohei Ohtani torched the Mets only days after finding out he suffered a torn UCL. That isn’t really a Mets story, except maybe it kinda is? And while it’s a little gross to ask, do the Mets benefit at all from Ohtani’s career-changing injury?   Grace and Christian also discuss Kodai Senga and José Quintana as the not-bad one-two punch for the Mets’ pitching staff. Is this a top-of-the-rotation that Mets fans can be excited about for 2024? They also praise the Mets for announcing number retirement ceremonies for Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden, both long overdue and well-deserved for two franchise legends. And speaking of legendary, Grace discusses what she believes to be George Lucas’s finest movie.  Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingIsBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com.
