Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets<\/a>, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.<\/p>\n

This week, we begin by discussing the Mets\u2019 up and down month of May, which at least ended on a positive note. We talk about whether the Mets can turn things around in June despite their tough schedule with help from the returning injured players. We also chat about the shifting sands of the rotation and congratulate Lee Mazzilli and Bobby Valentine for being inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

In our baseball segment this week, we cover the opening bouts of the CBA fight<\/a>, Trevor Williams<\/a> suddenly becoming every conservative\u2019s favorite baseball player<\/a>, more degenerate gamblers threatening players\u2019 families<\/a>, and a very sleazy TMZ article<\/a> implying that Adri\u00e1n Beltr\u00e9<\/a> and Pedro Martinez<\/a> believe Wander Franco<\/a> should get a second chance (though their actual quotes are a bit more nuanced than that).<\/p>\n

Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what\u2019s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.<\/p>\n
