Social distancing with Renee Dechert

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 the show by discussing the latest updates on how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting baseball from the delayed season to paychecks for minor leaguers and stadium staff to how the schedule may look if baseball is even played at all. We also emphasize the importance of our baseball community and maintaining a sense of normalcy during these uncertain times.
Next, we have the pleasure of chatting with Renee Dechert of Purple Row and getting to know the Rockies better. She tells us all about growing up in Wyoming (the home state of Brandon Nimmo), what brought her to baseball writing, Nolan Arenado trade rumors, what she expects from the Rockies this year, and more.
Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this wee...
