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’ turnaround over the past week, fueled by the offense finally waking up. We celebrate the hot bats of Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil looking like Jeff McNeil, the consistency of Brett Baty, and the emergence of José Butto.Next, we talk about the US government’s criminal complaint against Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara, which was revelatory of how much control Mizuhara had over Ohtani’s finances and how deep Mizuhara’s gambling addiction is. We also shout out RJ Anderson’s piece at CBS Sports about Oakland Coliseum stadium workers who are losing their jobs when the A’s move to their temporary home in Sacramento.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.
