Bat Flips, Puns, and Gerrymandering

No Crying In Baseball ·

2021/03/09

Pottymouth narrows the field to white guy bat flippers for her boyfriends this week. For the As, she picks big league foodie Mark Cahna, and for the Padres, the man on the wrong end of our favorite play ever witnessed in person, Trent Grisham. Patti goes for utility and puns with her picks. Chad Pinder wins her over for the As with his work with special needs kids, and “that Cronenworth guy”, Jake Cronenworth for the Padres.COVID numbers look good around the league, some ballparks are

Like Chess, but for Sports

No Crying In Baseball ·

2021/03/02

The return of spring training means the return of our grooming segment, featuring Francisco Lindor, as well as all the feels, thanks to Trey Mancini. And great confusion as to the rules. Jose Abreu provides a handy bridge between the COVID update and the Police Blotter, via Albert Pujols and Tony LaRussa. Kevin Mather says some things out loud that he probably shouldn’t have, regarding manipulating Jarred Kelenic’s service time, “overpaid” players, and impatience with English as a second

Patti Gets an Omar Vizquel Do-Over

No Crying In Baseball ·

2021/02/23

Pitchers and catchers reported last week so that means we’re back with the COVID numbers, the Blue Jays staying south of their border, and baby steps to fans in the stands. NCiB poster boy Fernando Tatis, Jr. is a Padre for life, and forces us to do complicated math. Pottymouth generously tries to cut Brett Gardner some slack, but Patti will have none of it. Thanks to Johnny Damon and Ryan Ellis, we’ve instituted a Police Blotter segment. Zach Britton stands up for women, and sees no reason

Goofy But Never Abrasive

No Crying In Baseball ·

2021/02/16

The League updates harassment and discrimination policies, expanding mandatory training beyond players to include staff and front office executives. A new anonymous hotline for reporting violations has been established, and although we are in favor of these baby steps, Pottymouth proposes going full public school and mandating reporting for anyone who hears of violations. Giant steps backwards in fan engagement, however, as MLB cleans house of social media coordinators. The League and the

Finding Jesus in Miami

No Crying In Baseball ·

2021/02/09

We talk way more Jesus than usual, as we select both veteran (“We Believe in Jesus”) Jesús Aguilar and batting left because of David Ortiz prospect Jesús Sánchez as our Marlin’s boyfriends. Kim Ng was a contender for Marlins boyfriend but we have stupid rules. Over at the Yankees, both Pottymouth and Patti go for guys that are quietly generous in their birthplaces and save the noise for the field. Pottymouth profiles Colombian Gio Urshela, and Patti tells you of mask-wearing redhead Clint

We Need a Snow Day

No Crying In Baseball ·

2021/02/02

Remember in the before times when we had the joy of snow days? Anti-vaxxers delay vaccinations at Dodger Stadium, which we firmly believe disrupts both the possibility of fans in stands and the opportunity for snow days. Women continue to rock baseball, as Sarah Goodrum becomes the first woman to serve as a minor league hitting coordinator. For the fourth time in 50 years, the Hall of Fame voters elected 0 new members -- this time it seems character counts. We ponder inconsistency over

Make Atlanta Hammers Happen

No Crying In Baseball ·

2021/01/26

Now is the time, Atlanta. Honor Hank Aaron and eliminate your problematic baseball team name in one fell swoop. Hammerin’ Hank deserves it. Kiké Hernandez and George Springer highlight the hot stove this week. The Mets fire Jared Porter for his abusive treatment of a female sports journalist (dick pics and out of control unsolicited texting). Good on ya, Steve Cohen, but next time include some women in your vetting and you can avoid the bad hire to begin with. Jessica Mendoza gives

Never Fear, the Bunker has Sports

No Crying In Baseball ·

2021/01/19

Never fear, dear listeners, our bunker is six miles from the military lockdown in place to protect a peaceful transfer of power, and we have sports. And beer. MLB’s PAC is suspending and reviewing its political contribution policy in light of the insurrection. Owners and players remain free to donate money wherever they like, but you don’t have to condone it. Citifield joins Petco Park, Dodger Stadium, and Minute Maid Park as a vaccine distribution location, with more ballparks likely to

“At Least They Have the Browns”

2021/01/12

Cleveland fans mourn the loss of Francisco Lindor and Cookie Carrasco, as the Mets made the hottest of hot stove moves last week. The Nationals, and Patti, come to terms with Kyle Schwarber, the target of one of Patti’s most vehement sports grudges. RIP Tommy Lasorda, he of the long and colorful Dodger history and the despicable denying of his son’s life and death. Mookie Betts and Brianna Hammonds finally make it official after 15 years and one child.Our boyfriend segment brings random

Damn, Bianca

2021/01/05

The Red Sox hire Bianca Smith, the first Black woman coach in the MLB, who could not be more impressive. We may have to come up with a new boyfriend category. Smith played college softball, club baseball, and has degrees in sports law and sports management, preparing for when she’ll be a GM. Crosstraining with women’s hockey, the way we do, not only will the NWHL season be officiated by an all-female crew, the season will be played at Lake Placid’s historic Herb Brooks Arena and NBCSN will

In Which Patti Breaks a Boyfriend Rule

No Crying In Baseball ·

2020/12/29

In a purely mercenary move, Patti declares that Ryan Mountcastle will be AL Rookie of the year this season so claims him for her Orioles boyfriend, even though she finds him Mike Troutish. Pottymouth is more true to form with her second hair-based boyfriend selection of the season, the Os Rio Ruiz. She exercises her keeper option for the season and extends the boyfriend tenure of National’s star Juan Soto. Patti happily selects Andrew “CW” Stevenson for reasons beyond, but not excluding,

Games Seven, Attorneys General, and Hunters Renfroe/w?

2020/12/22

This past week Major League Baseball acknowledged the Negro Leagues with the unfortunate word choice “elevate.” Timing and vocabulary, and a history of discrimination aside, voices we trust see this as righting a wrong and therefore ultimately good. Let the fun of combining stats and declaring some new record-holders begin! The Cleveland Baseball Team announced it will have a new team nickname in place for 2022 even though Patti is sure they’ve already got it selected and the logo designed

The State of the Minors: It’s Just a Flesh Wound

No Crying In Baseball ·

2020/12/15

Pottymouth is looking for a good lawyer willing to defend the Minors from the MLB power grab. Owners of the 120 teams “invited” to remain or become affiliated with an MLB team are ticked about the process, the timing, and the sketchy details of what will be a ten-year contract. The teams that were cut are ticked about being jettisoned, and by learning the news via social media. It’s bad all around.Patti goes for a good parenting and big-name trade theme for this week’s baseball boyfriend,

Pottymouth Has Never Seen High School Musical

2020/12/08

The return of our baseball boyfriend segment leads to the discovery of an unfortunate vacuum in Pottymouth’s pop culture experience. She’s never seen High School Musical, and it shows. “Hair guy” Cole Tucker, her choice for Pirates BF, is also Vanessa Hudgens choice for BF, and we are all in this together. Patti goes for Anthony Alford based heavily on his work with the Player’s Alliance and other social justice issues. Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Leody Taveras are our Ranger pics for the

Theo Epstein departs the Cubs, leading to lots of speculation about his next steps. Team ownership? The Commissioner's office? Shake things up? Or focus on his Foundation to be Named Later and the Player’s Alliance? NCiB votes for revolution. Also in CubsWorld, Wrigley Field is designated a National Historical Landmark, which seems overdue as well as a windfall in tax credits.The Washington Nationals find a new Triple A home with the Rochester Red Wings, which Patti and the Pottymouth

Put Your Shoes On, There’s Glass Everywhere

2020/11/17

Kim Ng, the new GM of the Miami Marlins, has blazed a trail of firsts in her 30-year career in baseball: youngest person and first woman to win an arbitration case, youngest assistant GM, first Asian-American GM, and more. Her overqualification for the job is par for the course of women working in sports, as Pottymouth says, backwards and in heels. Ng, along with the first woman play by play announcer and a burst of new women coaches, gave us a welcome bright spot in an otherwise crappy

Danny Shih spent months building community with English-speaking fans of the CPBL, running the league’s Twitter feed, creating hype videos and excellent game wraps. He joins Patti and the Pottymouth to relive the excitement of the Taiwan Series, and highlight what makes this league so special.Danny rightly notes that Taiwan was the only place on Earth with sold-out ballparks for a championship, which made the Series a statement and a symbol in this time of COVID-19: This can be cured.

They must, right? Or else why would a team full of talented, enthusiastic, exciting, and outspoken players hire Tony “unwritten rules” LaRussa? The 76 year old white guy called out Tatis Jrs’ grand slam, allowed that protests against racial injustice are okay as long as they are “sincere,” and claims not to have a racist bone in his body. Yeah, we rant again. And really, are there only three candidates qualified in the whole world of baseball for the three open managerial positions? Way
