We covered a lot of ground on the show this week - positive and negative takeaways of the 2020 season, the return of Sandy Alderson, certain members of the Reds organization, and much more. #TheresNoCryingInPodcasting https://www.amazinavenue.com/2020/9/30/21494823/mets-podcast-a-pod-of-their-own-episode-63-the-devil-magic-is-good-player-development">https://www.amazinavenue.com/2020/9/30...
In the second half of the show, we talked about the latest in the Thom Brennaman situation - his continued centering of his own feelings and the destructive trend of folks like him using members of marginalized communities as props for their own "growth." https://twitter.com/EvanMillward/status/1309565624004288512">https://twitter.com/EvanMillw...
This issue also came up with regard to a piece in The Athletic that appeared recently that interviewed queer people in baseball, but was not authored by queer writers. We encourage you to listen to queer people and read THEIR writing instead. https://twitter.com/britnidlc/status/1309132046472802307?s=20">https://twitter.com/britnidlc...
@sydrpfp summarized it really well in this thread. The pain of marginalized communities is often exploited for clicks and the gain of people not in those communities (think Dom Smith& #39;s very public emotion about police brutality). It needs to stop. https://twitter.com/sydrpfp/status/1309125819101523973?s=20">https://twitter.com/sydrpfp/s...
Again, we& #39;re just going to continue to share the words of queer baseball writers, who should be writing their own stories. They are the folks you should be listening to/reading on this. https://twitter.com/jenmacramos/status/1309316156549865473?s=20">https://twitter.com/jenmacram...
