Amazin' Avenue: For New York Mets Fans

The Mets went 7-3 in California! Surely, you didn't expect that, right? We explore the team's surging offense, the mercurial pitching staff, and how the heck Max Scherzer got suspended for following instructions. Grace also laments the move of her beloved Oakland Athletics to Las Vegas, and Christian wonders where the A's are going to play while their potential new stadium gets built, plus a big ol' thumbs-down to John Fisher.  We also explore the recently-passed House bill banning trans athletes from participating in youth sports, as well as an emergency order in the state of Missouri restricting all trans people from gender-affirming care.  Our theme music is "Positive Pop" by TimTaj (https://timtaj.com).

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’ West Coast road trip, which went well with the exception of Max Scherzer’s suspension for sticky stuff. We talk about that, Carlos Carrasco’s injury, and the impacts on the Mets’ rotation and rave about Joey Lucchesi’s first performance back from Tommy John surgery. Next, we talk about the A’s impending departure from Oakland and lament how terrible it is for baseball and the city of Oakland. We also discuss what Rob Manfred—who represents the owners—had to say about the situation in addition to his stated desire to place limits on the length of contracts. We also chat about the new rules MLB is testing out in the Atlantic League this season, including the designated pinch runner and “Double-Hook” DH rule. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where eac

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 winning five out of six last week, including a sweep of the A’s which featured some historic badness from the A’s pitching staff. We also talked about the Mets’ latest roster moves, including the major one: the promotion of top prospect Brett Baty to the big leagues. In our baseball segment this week, we talk about the horrendous new patches on the Mets’ uniform patches and the disturbing trend these ads represent, which Rich Staff recently wrote about for Amazin’ Avenue.  The craven greed of owners has also manifested itself in the new alcohol policies at stadiums, which have arisen as a result of the shorter games. We discuss this and Matt Strahm’s very thoughtful quote about it. We also briefly talked about Mike Clevinger using “Gold Digger” by Kayne West as h

Welcome to Apple Turnover for April 17, 2023. Spot starter José Butto did a perfectly cromulent job, but the Mets were really aided by the long ball and the bullpen in the series-sweeping victory over the A's.
