In this week's episode of A Pod of Their Own, the Mets are showing signs of life—upgrading from "historically bad" to just "regular bad." But the real game-changer came mid-recording when news broke that AJ Ewing is being promoted, giving the team and fans a much-needed spark. It’s a reminder that even in a tough season, surprises can turn the tide.

The all-women-led podcast, part of the Home Run Applesauce network, dives into more than just box scores. This episode also tackles tough topics off the field, including allegations against a former Mets pitcher, the dismissal of Gabe Alvarez over harassment claims, and the overlooked domestic abuse in Bobby Cox’s legacy. It’s a blend of sports analysis and social justice that keeps the conversation real.

They wrap things up with their favorite segment, "Walk-off Wins," where each host shares what’s bringing them joy this week—whether it’s a stellar play or a personal highlight. It’s the perfect way to end on a high note, even when the season feels like a grind.
