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, the Mets snapped their 12-game losing streak only to turn around and start a brand new one in which they got swept by the Rockies, scoring one run total across a doubleheader. In the aftermath of the Red Sox clearing house, we wonder how much longer Carlos Mendoza will keep his job.

We also talk about roster and injury updates, including Francisco Lindor’s injury, Christian Scott’s brief appearance in the big leagues in his first start back from Tommy John, the designation of Tommy Pham for assignment, and how lost Kodai Senga continues to look.

Our only consolation is that the Phillies are just as bad as the Mets are.

With that coping mechanism, we wrapped things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
