Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin' Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  This week, we begin with the bad news: the stress reaction in Jacob deGrom's scapula that's going to cost him about two months of his season. It's a huge blow to the Mets and we discuss whether the team will be able to weather the storm. Next, we talk about the trade that almost was (Dominic Smith to the Padres for Eric Hosmer, Chris Paddack, and Emilio Pagan) and the trade that actually was (Miguel Castro to the Yankees for Joely Rodríguez). We note what a travesty it is that Miguel Castro had to shave his beard and dreadlocks due to the Yankees' archaic (and discriminatory) hair policy. We also discuss the more minor, but still potentially concerning injuries in camp (Nimmo's neck, Scherzer's hamstring, etc.) and name Our Dudes for the 2022 season. In our baseball segment this week, we discuss improving conditions for minor leaguers and areas that still need improvement. We also talk about Trevor Bauer's defamation lawsuit against Molly Knight and The Athletic and how it indicates that he is more interested in painting his accuser as a liar than he is in returning to the mound for the Dodgers. 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 Amazin' Avenue Audio podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show. It really helps! And you can find us on the Stitcher app, Spotify, or listen wherever you get podcasts.

When Albert Pujols was released by the Angels, it seemed like it might the unceremonious end to a decorated career in Major League Baseball. Then Pujols raised eyebrows by signing with the Dodgers, a team in the National League with no designated hitter slot. People around the league wondered if Pujols had any gas left in the tank, and the man with over 670 home runs to his name has proven that he's not yet out of fuel. Today, The Athletic's Molly Knight joins us to talk about Pujols' play with the Dodgers and why his biggest impact on the team might be something that has nothing to do with the power left in his bat.Read Molly Knight's story about Albert Pujols: https://theathletic.com/2650671/2021/06/14/the-albert-pujols-signing-is-paying-off-for-dodgers-on-the-field-in-the-clubhouse-and-in-the-stands/Privacy Policy and California Privacy Notice.

It's been an eventful few days for the Los Angeles Dodgers. On Thursday it was revealed that MLB was inspecting baseballs used by the team's new star pitcher, Trevor Bauer, in a game against the Oakland A's -- and that the balls had visible markings and were sticky, according to an exclusive report from The Athletic. The following day, the team played its home opener in Dodger Stadium, in front of thousands fans (for the first time in more than a year), and hoisted its 2020 World Series championship banner. The Athletic's Molly Knight joins us to break down the Dodgers' up-and-down start to the 2021 season, why players from a former dynasty think the Dodgers will repeat as champions, and the dilemma that Major League Baseball faces as it tries to rein in the widespread use of sticky substances.More from Molly Knight:https://theathletic.com/author/molly-knight/

For more than two decades, Kim Ng has been expected to become the first woman to be named general manager of a Major League Baseball team. On Friday, that happened when the Miami Marlins announced that she would be leading their franchise.

Molly Knight is back on the pod! Pirate certainly makes his presence known as well and maybe even jumps into her neighbor's car? Hard to say. We're gearing up for the MLB playoffs...I guess. We talk about how the 2017 World Series ruined sports for us and how the Astros cheating deeply affected so many people in different ways. Molly has a billion dollar app idea that maybe involves all of us moving to Canada, Terry Francona added me on LinkedIn and endorsed me for "blogging" and Twitter is ruining all of our lives by overwhelming us every single day. Anyway, enjoy! Hopefully someone sponsors the podcast soon so I can move to a farm (not in Canada) and adopt 101 dogs. Side note: do you think I was creepier to Marnie the Dog or Jason Bateman? Lana's note: I said perception instead of perspective in my intro and I'm sorry but I refuse to re-record my intro to change it!!

They break down best albums, deep cuts, the "plugged" tour years, learning to love "Space Dog," plus the pressure of having Tori's personal email address but not knowing when it's OK to actually email.

Molly talks to former California Senator Barbara Boxer about the worst night of her life, what Republican Senators say about Donald Trump behind closed doors, and what the United States would look like if there were fifty female senators instead of twenty-two.

Molly Knight Forde's blog post on The Ole Time Religion. :)

Writer Molly Knight (ESPN The Magazine, New York Times, Glamour, SELF) joins Dave & Ghizal to discuss her book about the Dodgers, "The Best Team Money Can Buy," among other topics.

One of the ongoing conundrums in sports is whether it’s about the team or the individual?  Back in the early days of the NFL,  Pete Rozelle believed passionately, that in a game played only once a week, the team was the key to marketing.  In Basketball, former Commissioner David Stern saw the value of individual stars as the draw for fans.For Baseball it’s been a mixed bag.  Even for iconic teams like the Dodgers or the Giants, the question of team vs. the individual is hotly debated.For the Dodgers, at least the current team and its current ownership group, the answer is clear.  With players like Yasiel Puig, Clayton Kershaw, Hanley Ramirez, Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Carl Crawford, stars outshine the team. The individual player is king, second only to the dollars that are being paid.Looking at this team, a team that was in bankruptcy just three years ago, as a result of a a messy divorce, is my guest sports journalist and former ESPN reporter Molly Knight. She takes a hard look at this team in her new book The Best Team Money Can Buy: The Los Angeles Dodgers' Wild Struggle to Build a Baseball PowerhouseMy conversation with Molly Knight:

Stefan Fatsis, Josh Levin, and Mike Pescsa discuss whether Tiger Woods will ever be great again.

Listen in on this great conversation that I had with Molly Knight Forde about the journey to meditation and how it can change everything when it comes to the parenting journey...

Ben and Sam preview the Dodgers’ season with Molly Knight, and Sahadev talks to True Blue LA’s Eric Stephen (at 32:54).

It takes time to learn how to strengthen attention, so do it without expectation or attachment to results and just accept the way things are. Molly Knight Forde's outlook on life is simply breathtaking. She is nothing short of masterful when it comes to analyzing the world through awareness and mindset. Not only does she make insides melt with her intricate and soothing piano melodies, Molly sparks motivation and meaning into every conversation she engages. She's also a muse, motivational coach, public speaker, muse, meditation mentor and the founder of The Awareness School. She found meditation and practical awareness under the guidance of Master Teachers from various schools of transformation, and she has experiences in Zazen, Irano Egyptian Yoga, Hatha Yoga, and the Gurdjieff Work. I had a blast discussing the power of mindfulness in advancing talents, such as playing the piano, and everyday mindfulness techniques to take your consciousness and happiness to a level most don?t even know exists. Master the art of choice and co-create your destiny! Here are the highlights of my funky conversation with Molly: 09:20 : Molly's journey so far: growing up in a dysfunctional family in the deep South, learning to play the piano unintentionally after getting in trouble at 13, giving her first solo piano recital at 16, living in Paris for 8 years where she first opened up to yoga and meditation, moving back to Seattle with two kids in tow and being introduced to whole new kind of art which turn her world from black and white into color, 20:29 : The importance of meditations in terms of developing your productivity and anxiety levels, the different ways to practice mindfulness and the challenges when starting out, 25:00 : Mindfulness techniques to develop your awareness such as having an external cue and pausing after an activity, 34:11 : How her life changed after she practiced mindfulness and how she started and maintained her rhythm, 43:32 : How vision boards and declaring things can train your brain and make things happen; decluttering and the distractions technology can bring, 49:45 : About the Awareness School, her in-person and online mentoring services and their big plans for their retreats, and 55:29 : Her advice for musicians who are looking at tackling the music world.
