Several Mets are owed apologies
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 this good stretch of play the Mets are having (and against good teams!) thanks to contributions from up and down the roster, including from guys many people (including us) were skeptical of going into the season.
Next, we talk about the injuries to Francisco Alvarez and Brooks Raley and what that means for the roster.
We also share our takes on the Mets’ City Connect uniforms and the “Rally Pimp” “controversy.”
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.

City Connect Chat
Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
It’s just Thomas and Lukas this week, so we go long on our discussion of the best City Connect uniforms. We’re a big fan of the Mets’ iteration, ranking it in the top tier below only the Nats and the Padres. Big win for the team, and it seems MLB is getting better at this over time.
On the draft front, Michael Massey continues to struggle, while Cam Caminiti bounces back in a big way for Thomas. On the hitting side, both Slade Caldwell and Kaelen Culpepper keep doing what they’ve been doing. We also discuss Keith Law’s draft rankings.
Moving to the performance in the minors this week, the bats are still a little sleepy. Mark Vientos is destroying Triple-A again and deserves a trade to a team that can give him a shot. Jett Williams and Luisangel Acuña are still struggling but making strides in the right direction. The pitching, meanwhile, continues to be excellent, even if we’d like to see Blade Tidwell moved to a relief role sooner rather than later.

Sincere Apologies to Harrison Bader
Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore.
The Mets have had two very good weeks of baseball, capped off a by sweep of the Pirates at home. Before they head out to the West Coast, Chris and Brian discuss the surprising excellence of the bullpen, some of the offensive highlights, and admit they were wrong (so far) about one player in particular.
Chris’s Music Pick:
CV Vision - Im Tal del Stutzer
Brian’s Music Pick:
Arthur Russell - Instrumentals Vol. 1 (As part of the First Thought Best Thought compilation)

Jackie Robinson Day
Flushing is Burning is back after a fun week of Mets baseball. Grace begins by talking about the Mets bounceback, and Brett Baty (and the teams) looser nature, with a clearly different vibe this year. She also discusses the upcoming City Connect jerseys, and Jackie Robinson and his impact.
Next, she dives into the recent news surrounding the transgender sports ban executive order in Nassau County, New York. She talks about the news surrounding it and gives her thoughts on the ridiculous and harmful nature of the law and the potential danger of its ripple effects.
Finally, she has another one-two punch of a movie minute, a double feature of documentaries that are meant to be served as a package. They're political, one frightening and one hopeful, but both excellent.

Vibes are back
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.

Customer Reviews
Randy Tate
Thoroughly enjoy the UnforMETable podcast. However, I distinctly recall the late Randy Tate being a right handed pitcher.
Amazin WOKE Podcast
This team is more interested in giving their woke take on the Mets than analyzing the team itself. The Mets sign Nimmo to a big deal and the first comment about it is that he is probably homophobic. This is a common theme generally. If you like listening to judgy woke takes this is your pod.
Very Amateur
In a world where there are dozens of podcasts for literally any super specific topic, if you are looking for a New York Mets only podcast, this is a great option if your preference is ill-informed opinions from people Who talk over each other, with terrible audio quality. And they curse a lot, so it’s… edgy? I dunno.
