After a holiday week break, Grace is back with some news to talk about. She gets into the major news around the league, a few free agent signings and some postings from Japan, plus a bit on Shohei Ohtani. She also discusses the minor amounts of Mets news from the past couple of weeks, but nothing too exciting.

Then, she does her promised A League of Their Own chat (the movie, not the show). She has a free form talk about one of her favorite films, discussing the cast, the direction, the script, and the costuming. She a...

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.

At the end of the day, none of this matters if all of you out there weren’t listening, commenting, e-mailing, tweeting, or somehow otherwise participating in the process with us. We’re thankful for all of you out...

It's been a little week for baseball news but the extra two days Grace took to record this episode gave her a little more to work with. The manager merry-go-round ended with Mendoza leading the Mets, and even more shocking results elsewhere. Mendoza seems fine now but no one can know until the Mets take the field in 2024.And some reports are starting to create multiple pictures of what that Mets team might look like, for better or worse.

Then, with nothing much else to talk about, Grace gets into a topic she is very passionate about: t...

The Rangers have won the World Series, and the 2023 MLB season is officially a wrap! Grace discusses the end of the World Series, and her inability to predict anything. The fan reaction in Texas is tremendous, and who knows when there will be another first time winner. Grace also touches on the ridiculousness of complaining about television ratings as fans.

Then, Grace goes into the Mets offseason, with the manager spot being the most pressing concern. This episode was recorded prior to the Counsell/Mendoza news breaking, so she clearly has no idea what’s coming. She tou...

Grace leads off the episode talking about the first two games of the World Series. There's great stories, great performances, and a terrible joke from Justin Verlander's brother. Where it goes from here, who knows?

Then a switch to some general sports news. First, the Pride Tape ban has been repealed! Thanks to the courage of Travis Dermott, and the ineptitude of the NHL, the ban lasted not even a single game and now players can do as they please (with regards to their stick tape) yet again. Then, in a more downer note, Dwight Howard has...

It's another boring playoff week, but a bit of Mets news gives Grace something to talk about. There's a bit of manager news, some awards and nominations, and a former Met retirement. Plus a lot of Grace struggling to remember past World Series winners for some frat radio content.

Then, Grace takes a look at the two playoff series running at the time of recording. The ALCS with its drama between Adolis García and Bryan Abreu, and Grace takes a stand on FIB's rooting interests in the series. And the NLCS with a fun back and fo...

In the midst of the playoffs there's no Mets news, so Grace pivots to general baseball coverage and talks about the playoffs to this point. Two LCS's with stories on the road to them, and how the teams stack up. Grace also has a (somewhat) shameful admission about the 2023 Phillies, so try not to get too worked up about it.

Then, Grace looks at some big stories from the week. Alyssa Nakken became the first woman considered for a managerial position in MLB! Of course there's sexist backlash but who cares? Kim Ng resigned, and good for h...

After that, Steve, Lukas, Ken and Thomas discuss their Mets Minor League Team of the Year.

As always, you can listen or subsc...

Grace anticipated a light week of Mets news, but she forgot that the Mets have always been deranged. There's a "leak" (wonder who from) about infighting between Buck Showalter and Eppler, Eppler's bizarre resignation and investigation, and even some Pete Alonso rumors!

Then, after the first full week of the playoffs, Grace has some thoughts! Wild Card series discourse, which teams look good, which teams looked bad, which teams needed more pitching (exactly who you're thinking).

Finally, playoff predictions turn into a rant on teams not retaining homegrown stars and what that does to fanbases...

The Mets season might have ended, but the fun has only just begun! Grace has a lot to cover this week, starting with Buck Showalter’s dismissal. Where do the Mets go from here, and what is his legacy? Then, on a lighter note, David Stearns is home! Grace sifts through the good and better of Sterns introductory press conference, and where the Mets can go from here.

In the second act, Grace shifts her eye to the baseball community at large. The Orioles are staying Baltimore which is great! But why could Manfred back Baltimore and no...

It's been so long since we've talked Mets, they got a new POBO! Grace, in her first solo show, discusses David Stearns' hiring, potential moves he could make, and the expectations fans should have/temper. Then, a little 2023 Mets discussion, but how much is there really to say at this point?

Then, Grace goes over all the general baseball news the show missed! The Padres have internal beef! Where does it start, where does it end, who's responsible and for how much? The Angels have drama with all their star players and are on track to have...

Christian got a new job! And it’s a really cool one! But unfortunately, that means that his involvement with Flushing Is Burning must come to an indefinite halt.

But that doesn’t mean the show is over! Christian and Grace finish their last show together this year talking about fandom, the responsibilities of an impartial sports media, and supporting teams thousands of miles away from where they live. It’s not all about the Mets, but then again, it is always about the Mets, isn’t it?

Grace will continue the podcast as a solo host...
