Episodes
Hold Your Guffaws, It Gets Worse
July 02, 2024 16:00 - 58 minutes - 80.7 MBWe puzzle through giving benefit of the doubt, trusting one’s gut, and considering suspect timing, plus steaming nose emojis when evaluating the off the field actions of players. Jackson Chourio is hot and Pottymouth is here for it. OMG, José Iglesias! Patti’s new pitcher Gavin Stone nearly has a Maddux, We learn what auto body skills have to do with custom cleats – thanks to Bryson Stott. Our police blotter ensures that we will always be a little afraid of ballpark escalators, and ...
Oaky, With a Hint of Grimace
June 25, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 97.8 MBLike a fine single malt scotch, this super-sized episode is packed with sophisticated flavors. We honor the passing of Willie Mays by sharing his legacy through words and not numbers. We look at the first steps that are the Rickwood Field game with the first all-Black umpire team, through the eyes of Masyn Winn, one of the few Black players on the game’s roster, and how far we have to go. In our boyfriend segment we note numerous names on the IL, gigantic hits, and a tiny, adorable ...
Summer Pottymouth Mode
June 18, 2024 16:00 - 57 minutes - 79 MBJonah and José spend Father’s Day weekend shoring up their Dad power. Masyn and Joey have us rethinking our ROY predictions. More of Patti’s pitchers hit the IL, and Pottymouth admits to over-gloating. That’s a real thing. Well-respected umpire Pat Hoberg is the first official to run afoul of MLB’s sports betting rules but he does not think that’s the case. On the happy betting side, Toronto’s 50/50 raffle is changing lives. The Cards crosstrain with the NBA, and Curt Miller, head c...
That Spring and Boing and the Power
June 11, 2024 16:00 - 56 minutes - 77.9 MBJoin us as we math it out, suss it out, and legitimately incorporate the phrase “Tequila Shots” into a sports discussion. Pottymouth’s roster has an abundance of Ellys and a teaching moment about catching home runs in a full beer. Her recent history is dotted with Dodgers Hernandi, one for heroics, one for the dangers of being mic’d up while at work. Patti’s team has a pitcher getting booed in Yankee Stadium for all the right reasons, and a late roster add coming through big. Bf...
The New MVP of Record
June 04, 2024 16:00 - 50 minutes - 68.9 MBJosh Gibson finally gets his due as greatest hitter of all time, now let’s name the award after him. Stats from the Negro Leagues are finally integrated into the MLB stats and we see how opportunity affects counting stats vs rate stats. Winn and Volpe snap some streaks and in one case we end up with a DiMaggio sandwich. We lose more bfs to the IL – Grissom is back out, Means and Wells are season-ending out. Patti is grateful Yoshinobu is holding his own and her closer is back. Joey...
Tip Your Servers
May 28, 2024 16:00 - 53 minutes - 73.3 MBWe share important life lessons from the wide world of baseball, including, keep your popcorn close, watch the rebound, and tipping the bullpen cart driver is good karma. Patti risks killing streaks by bringing up CLE wins and Volpe hits. Former NCiB boyfriends give Pottymouth a chance to talk about her favorite play, stealing home. LaMonte Wade, Jr takes the upcoming Rickwood Field game honoring the Negro Leagues as a chance to talk representation right now. Are the Birmingham Sout...
Illegal, Therefore Against the Law
May 21, 2024 16:00 - 51 minutes - 70.1 MBIn which we pin down math around catching foul balls, our medical thoughts of pregnancy vs belly button rings (congrats to Cole Tucker and Vanessa Hudgens BTW), and our astute observation that betting with an illegal bookie is illegal whether it’s on baseball or not. It’s in the name. Elly continues to exceed expectations, Vaughn does not but maybe if he eats a sandwich things will kick in. Alan Rickman and Adley Rutchsman combine for Patti’s favorite homerun call. We learn that it ...
Very Fact-Adjacent
May 14, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 83.6 MBWelcome to West Coast Corresponded Deborah, filling in for Patti who is off celebrating our intern’s graduation. Deborah’s bfs are making up for lack of bats with all the steals. Elly continues to climb the all time steal boards, and Zack Short becomes Zack Short Stay. Willson Contreras’ injury leads to some choices about how to avoid catcher interference dangers – robo umps? Catcher’s box? How ‘bout that other Contreras, leading the Brewers? Paul Skenes debuts to comparisons to Str...
Catastrophic Seam Failure
May 07, 2024 16:00 - 51 minutes - 70.3 MBIt’s the Cinco de Mayo episode where the limes are organic and the salt is Kosher. Pottymouth’s Vaughn Grissom watch is rewarded, Luis lights it up, and Maysin makes her roster. For Patti, John Means business and Jack Suwinski can sure time a hit. Josés are in trouble and just when you think he can’t achieve any more firsts, Judge gets ejected. Did you see that Luis Arráez trade coming? We sure did not. The Police Blotter teaches us the difference between Community Labor and Commun...
Defense is Sexy: The Cocktail
April 30, 2024 16:00 - 47 minutes - 65.7 MBAs we lament the boyfriends we did not select for our fantasy teams, we observe Passover with mezcal. Should we have gone with Logan O’Hoppe and Joey Ortiz? Solid maybe. Mike Tauchman and the oppo Tauchos? Unrelated to the Mexico series tacos, of course. Patti’s guys Zach, Will, and Evan are crushing the multi-hit games, and Pottymouth favorite Elly is on track for a ridiculous number of stolen bases (Pottymouth’s math is SOLID.) LAD pitching is not just crazy good, it is death-defy...
Boosers, Closers, and the Yeet
April 23, 2024 16:00 - 46 minutes - 63.7 MBKenley Jansen and Craig Kimbrel are climbing to the top of the all time saves list so the takeaway is don’t yeet the ball from the last out. Looking at you, Colton “more cowbell” Cowser. Andrew hits homer #300, Adley hits grand slam #1, and Josh hits his head. On purpose. Neto can’t get a day off, Oswaldo can but Pottymouth says please don’t – or maybe yes? Elly remains good at baseball, and Patrick is finally off the IL. Patti loves the collaborative “people’s celly” of the BAL h...
Bullies, Bastards, and Boneheads
April 09, 2024 16:00 - 46 minutes - 64.4 MBWe workshop the LMB acronym to account for the Mexican League signing players of questionable character. We aren’t just yanking Verdugo’s chain, we are teaching you valuable vocabulary in multiple languages. We review your four options when you catch a home run ball during a game, starting with It Belongs To You. A little over a week in and our guys with slow starts are getting the bats in gear. We’ve got home runs bouncing off gloves and walls, we’ve got new nicknames (Turn and Bur...
Spikes
April 02, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 85.4 MBWelcome to Season 8 of No Crying in Baseball! Join us as we laugh, fight, make (probably) terrible predictions, and drink beer from the North (and the northeast). Pottymouth is team Jeff, and Patti is team Rhys and everything gets back to Dustin and Manny. We talk Opening Day – Did Patti write the talking points for the new Os ownership? She’s definitely shopping for a Maryland Tough Baltimore Strong tee shirt. Tyler is Pottymouth’s new best friend and she is feeling good about her ...
What Did Shohei Know and When Did He Know It?
March 26, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 88.7 MBAs we head to Opening Day, we bring you our fantasy lineups, walk you through the whole Ohtani kerfuffle, and Optimist Patti enjoys her new nickname. Blake Snell finds a team at last, while Francisco Lindor and Edwin Diaz make a video showing their love for Puerto Rico. Optimist Patti makes a pro/con list for Peter Angelos. There are no winners. Our Police Blotter, in addition to a primer on MLB gambling rules for players and staff, highlights TB’s (not Tampa Bay’s) alternate Spring...
Fresh Like Milk, Aged Like Wine
March 19, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBIn a weakened moment of falling for Pottymouth logic, Patti agrees to a change in our fantasy team rules and we select pitchers from two teams instead of just one. Pottymouth shares her picks from the Mariners and Phillies, and Patti goes Dodgers/Orioles. We don’t think Josh Winckowski’s excuse will get you out of jury duty but it worked for him, sort of. What’s a “brace procedure” and why are we just hearing of this? The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes allow Pottymouth to teach us more Sp...
Smooth as Mayo
March 12, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 92.5 MBIn our last week of profiling position players, or “Adley Day” in Patti’s world, we pick our guys from the Os and ATL. For BAL, Ryan O’Hearn gets the Pottymouth nod with an extra point for Bull Durham, while Patti sticks with her once and forever catcher. For The Hammers, Patti picks spring training standout Eli White and Pottymouth corrects a wrong while selecting Orlando Arcia. Joey finds a home at home, bad boy Josh retires, Mookie heads to short, and Lance gets tossed from the d...
C-Words and Sand Worms
March 05, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 90.7 MBKiké and Tony Clark dance around the idea of collusion, and let Fanatics take the lead on talking about pants. Robinson Canó heads to Mexico, Matt heads back to the Bay, and Brandon does what needs to be done. For Tampa Bay, Pottymouth completes her Lowe brothers set and Patti remembers the fun of the WBC and picks Paredes. Over at the Dodgers, Pottymouth goes with the flow and selects James Outman, while Patti chooses Diego Cartaya and his bodybuilder mom. Crosstraining Congratulat...
Marty Barrett, Ted Williams, and John Updike
February 27, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 91.6 MBNothing like an Adley HR against BOS the first day of spring training to spike co-host conflict, er, cause us to demonstrate how one should behave in civil society. Patti’s vocabulary lesson is “pillow contract” in the context of Belli and Tim. Hosmer retires leaving behind a range of feels. Tim Mayza’s fantasy league punishment may send our FBBL all sorts of questionable ways. It’s always a challenge to pick HOU bfs, but Pottymouth finds much to praise about Jake Meyer’s off-seaso...
Frivolous February
February 20, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 82.9 MBSpring training has begun, there are still key free agents out there, there’s some arbitration scorekeeping to do, and will it take all five years to get some women on the short list for the next commissioner of baseball? This week we talk boyfriends on the World Series champion Rangers – Jonah Heim for Pottymouth and Patti’s early claim on Evan Carter is confirmed. Over at the Phils, Pottymouth visits the Nick Castellanos school of buttons for her Johan Rojas selection, and Patti p...
Surprisingly Little NFL Crosstraining
February 13, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 95.2 MBThe Royals lock down Bobby Witt, Jr. for 11 years, and HOU says yes to Jose Altuve for another five. The arbitration scoreboard is currently tipped in the players’ direction at the halfway point, including a record-setting win for Vladdy. We wish Corey Kluber all the best in his retirement, Patti with much happier memories than those of Pottymouth. This week we look at Toronto, where Pottymouth selects Kevin Kiermaier with a really we haven’t picked him yet, and Patti highlights Dav...
Good Morning, Baltimore
February 06, 2024 17:00 - 56 minutes - 77.7 MBPatti is practically giddy with new ownership and a new Ace for the Os. Our new guys for Seattle are actually the newest guys for Seattle, Jorge Polanco and Samad Taylor. For Miami, Pottymouth selects Vidal Bruján and Patti makes it two consecutive De La Cruz weeks with her pick of Bryan. We cross train hard with hockey, from our cask-beer fueled hockey shoot out, to Joey Votto menacing mascots, to hug cellies gone bad. Lots of our favorites are playing in the Serie del Caribe, host...
Are you a M*A*S*H watcher or a MASH doer?
January 30, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 95.5 MBNot sure if it is our pride or our ages talking but we’ve reached the point where active players we’ve profiled on the show are now Hall of Famers. Congrats to Joe Mauer and Adrian Beltre, and also to Todd Helton even if he was before our (NCiB) time. The hot stove takes Philly favorite Rhys Hoskins to MIL, and brings Cookie Carrasco home to CLE. Joc Pederson tries out yet another NL West team, and the Nats bring Joey Gallo to a ballpark near us. Congrats on the retirement, Collin M...
Grimace Adjacent
January 23, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 97.8 MBSnow days are fun but they do not keep us from thinking about the boys of summer. It’s always tricky for us to pick our NYY bfs because of, well, general vitriol. But we persevere and end up disliking the team a little less. Pottymouth wants the team to give Oswaldo Cabrera a real shot, and Patti can’t help appreciating the deep fandom in Anthony Volpe’s family. For the Reds, Pottymouth goes for taller twin Elly de la Cruz, and Patti reads “DFA” and instead sees “Immaculate Grid” in...
Fly Like a Pigeon
January 16, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBSupersized weekend, supersized episode! Who do we want to have a beer with this week? Pottymouth plays her once and forever card and hangs on to Vaughn Grissom, now that he’s with the Red Sox. Patti selects Harper superfan Masataka Yoshida and his little dog too. For the Padres, Pottymouth gets to say Anzoátegui in reference to José Azócar and Patti picks home run trick shot hitter Matthew Batten. It’s arbitration time so we talk deals and holdouts. How can Stroman be a Yankee? Te...
A’s, B’s, and More AC/DC
January 09, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 83.1 MBCharacter counts, making Bs more valued than As in Oakland. Elsewhere in the Police Blotter the Wander Franco story is growing into a flat out horror show. In a much happier place, we profile guys from the Tigers and Giants. For DET, Pottymouth selects Heart and Hustle nominee Matt Vielring and Patti goes for his almost twin Gold Glove finalist Zach McKinstry. For San Francisco, it’s the Grandson of the Wind Jung Hoo Lee for Pottymouth, and West Coast Correspondent favorite Late N...
Rust Belt Boyfriend Week
January 02, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 88.7 MBWe kick off our own New Years Rockin’ Eve with boyfriends from the Guardians and Pirates. Pottymouth goes hopeful with CLE prospect Kyle Manzardo, and Patti selects Will Brennan, Tito’s pal from way back. For PIT, Liover Peguero plays right into Pottymouth’s English teacher heart while Patti looks to her roots with Jack Suwinski. The Red Sox bring on Giolito and trade away Sale and Pottymouth comes to terms with it all. Where’s Wander leads off the Police Blotter, followed by Fox...
LAD Out Yankeed the Yankees
December 26, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 91.2 MBThe Dodgers claim Yamamoto and Patti claims Dodgers pitching for FBBL, just that fast. Just when we thought Verdugo could not sink any lower, he goes after his former manager for holding him accountable for his actions, and forces us to agree, a little, with Papelbon. This week’s boyfriends represent LAA and NYM. Pottymouth selects LAA catcher Logan O’Hoppe, not just because it is fun to say his name, but it helps. Patti goes for SS Zach Neto, a little for the leg kick and a lot fo...
Moms, Dads, and Oh Yeah the Ohtani Thing
December 19, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 99.8 MBAshley Kelly is the real hero of the Shohei Ohtani deal but we break it down anyway because it lets Patti do math and reference the Disney Prince, Betts, Freeman, and Yamamoto, but not the dog. Pottymouth leans into the CWS history with Cuban player and selects Oscar Colás Leon, while Patti picks brand new teammate and exceptional dad, veteran catcher Max Stassi. Our STL bfs include Pottymouth’s choice of Masyn Blaze Winn for all the mom reasons, and Patti goes for her second Nolan...
Daddy Issues: So Many Juniors
December 12, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 92.3 MBJust when you thought the Soto trade was going to be the news of the week, Ohtani signed with LAD, pushing contract numbers so far into Monopoly money they may never come back. The rest of the league was busy playing “where’s Evan,” bringing Fedde back from the KBO, and moving around more Nicks. In our second week of profiling boyfriends, we look at the Royals and our hometown Nationals. Pottymouth collects some Garcias, including softball teammate of Acuña, Jr., Maikel Garcia of KC...
An Abundance of Nicks
December 05, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 91 MBBoyfriend season begins with Pottymouth checking in after an afternoon of visiting breweries in Tennessee (be warned). We lead off with Oakland and Colorado – Pottymouth choosing a pair of Diaz-es (what’s the plural of Diaz?), Jordan and Elias, and Patti selecting yet another Nick and also Nolan 2.0. Awards continue to trickle in, including a team philanthropic award to the Reds for an impressive, long term collaboration, Outstanding DH, and Relievers of the year. Oakland moves on f...
Season of Giving, Spoils of War, You Decide
November 28, 2023 17:00 - 56 minutes - 77.1 MBThis Thanksgiving weekend Patti and the Pottymouth cross-trained with hockey, Led Zeppelin, assembling IKEA furniture, beer farms, and unsuccessful mousing. MLB players, however, leaned into the giving with Andrew Vaughn working with Digs for DIgnity to assist a family emerging from homelessness, Hunter Greene outfitting hundreds of kids with brand new cleats, and Pablo López supporting pet rescue through pickleball. Playoff teams voted on how to divide their percentage of the posts...
So. Much. Unanimous.
November 21, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 85.7 MBWe couldn’t be more pleased with the unanimous votes for RoY and MVP. Not so thrilled with the owners voting unanimously to send Oakland’s team to Vegas. Props to Gunnar for his sexy defense and leading all rookies in HRs, and to Corbin for being the first Diamondback to win RoY, and the first ever to win with 25HRs and 50SBs. Shohei’s second MVP win was a surprise to no one and Miggy’s enthusiasm for Ronald’s title led us down a “we’re not sure he should say that in front of child...
Tommy John and Trombones
November 14, 2023 17:00 - 50 minutes - 69 MBIt was a “pretty fun day” for Stephen Vogt, named manager for the Guards, less so for David Ross in the surprise loss of his CHI gig, and downright polarizing in regards to Craig Counsell’s historic contract prompting another manager to muse about unionization. The Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards lead Mauricio Dubón for multiple Honduran firsts, Ha Seong Kim to a first for Asian-born MLB players, and a Pottymouth first as she finally remembered to vote for Platinum Glove. We po...
Cooling our Heels and Firing up the Stove
November 07, 2023 22:47 - 51 minutes - 70.4 MBAfter supporting the local adult-beverage economy in honor of Pottymouth’s birthday, we give a little love to the World Series, including the parade with dogs, flying beer, mic drops, and possibly chaps, and move on to Hot Stove Season. Patti previews what to expect when – options accepted and declined, qualifying offers, trades, and full-on free agent negotiations. We ponder big moves like Joey’s lifetime with CIN coming to a close, and Nelson’s lifetime in the sport winding down. ...
Pick Your Team, not your “Scabs”
October 31, 2023 16:00 - 52 minutes - 72.7 MBStill haven’t thrown in for a World Series team? We provide a helpful pro and con list featuring social justice fails, hockey, questionable music, and outstanding rookies. Merrill Kelly becomes an unlikely hero, Ketel Marte picks up where he left off in 2017, Tommy Pham keeps us scratching our heads, and the kids are making their marks. At Dusty’s request we say “see you later” instead of goodbye, and at Pottymouth’s recommendation (clearly), we say hello to Craig Breslow. Our resi...
Israel, Venezuela, and Bad Geography
October 24, 2023 16:00 - 58 minutes - 80.3 MBRecording right after Games 5 in the LDS, one would think we would be all postseason all the time. You haven’t met Pottymouth. Prepare to be schooled on how being pro-Israel is not the same as standing up against anti-semitism, and we’re not sure all the baseball players in that video understand that. Also that our supporting the right of athletes to speak out on issues that matter to them in no way extends to our agreeing with them. We also dip back into how immigration policy is preven...
Airline Bottles on a Train
October 17, 2023 16:00 - 53 minutes - 73.6 MBLiam is our favorite Castellanos but Nick is a close second. Pottymouth is rightfully preening over her pre-season pick of Corbin Carroll. Patti calls early dibs on Evan Carter for next season. There was so much more going on in that 15 pitch at bat between Nathaniel Lowe and Dean Kremer than met the eye. Every single team in the final four has players we love to watch, so we dug deeper for our picks. Respect for Dusty aside, we are over Houston. The Rangers have an edge there if ...
We Love Rock’n’Roll. Home field advantage? Notsomuch.
October 10, 2023 21:02 - 1 hour - 95.8 MBOne game into the Division Series, Patti and guest host Alexander Dacy remember some guys from the last time the Os and Rangers met in the playoffs, ponder if home field is really an advantage, and wonder if the expanded WC field is good for anyone but MLB’s bottom line. Jose Altuve sets a mark for first pitch homers in the first game of the postseason, as well as HR height differential between pitcher and batter. The Diamondbacks almost earn full team boyfriend status for the way t...
Way More Fun Than You're Supposed To
October 03, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 86 MBWe hit the sweet spot between the end of the regular season and the kick off of the postseason. Corbin makes history, Adley sells some jerseys, Miggy Ro buys the kids Jordans, Myles steals all the bases, and Pottymouth considers extending Juan. Jazz, Josh, and Kim take the Marlins back to the postseason and Cal has things to say about why the Mariners are not there. We say heartfelt goodbyes to Tim Wakefield, and Mr. Oriole, Brooks Robinson. Farewells to Tito, near and dear to both ...
You're Stuck With Us
September 26, 2023 16:00 - 50 minutes - 69.3 MBIt’s that part of the season where records are falling, injuries are career changing, and so many playoff berths are still in play. Corbin Carroll and Julio Rodriguez are knocking down milestones for the young folks, Freddie Freeman shows for the older crowd, and Ronald Acuña Jr. is in a category all his own. Joey Votto uses his French (or French accent? We don’t know!) for the Children’s Theater of Cincinnati. Mark Vientos is heating up for the Hapless Mets at the same time Tommy ...
You Don’t Get Capitalized Until Your First Hit
September 19, 2023 16:00 - 48 minutes - 67.1 MBWhile Patti spent the weekend in her happy place, it was locker clean-out day all over the league. The Rays have purged their clubhouse of all things Wander, and the Dodgers have literally painted Julio Urias right out of their history. Shohei cleaned out his own locker but may not be completely absent the rest of the season. Pottymouth checks in with some neglected boyfriend and finds that Thairo Estrada is having his second 20+ stolen base season and leads the Giants in steals, h...
"Sell" Shirts in Red
September 12, 2023 16:00 - 39 minutes - 54.9 MBThis snack-sized episode brought to you by the return of COVID. Was the media just stirring the pot or was it poking the bear making up conflict between Chas and Dusty? We are grateful for the banana pudding tidbit outcome, however. Ha-Seong Kim stole five bases last week and may be the first Korean-born MLB player to win a Gold Glove. Check out this profile in The Athletic. Oswald Peraza teaches us some dance steps while toe tapping his way to better plate appearances. Kyle Schwa...
Fast Guys Who Don't Quit
September 05, 2023 16:00 - 58 minutes - 80 MBDon’t you wish you had a week like Ronald Acuña Jr.? Most of it, anyway – probably not the part that requires the update of NCiB Stadium Rules.. Miggy passes more all-time milestones and Triston chips away at the Rookie marks. TJ Friedl has no walk-up song for a reason that makes us like him even more. New guys are coming up all over the place this time of year. BOS’s Wilyer Abreu debuts at Minute Maid, where he thought he’d be an Astro. NYY’s Jasson Dominguez debuts with a homer of...
I Could Be a Bro
August 29, 2023 16:00 - 58 minutes - 81 MBIn our back to school episode, we distract Pottymouth from work stress with conversation about inclusive condiment races and Fenway/Dodgers East reunions. Mookie, Kiké, and the gang never disappoint. Cal Raleigh is quietly racking up records and personal bests. Trea proves the power of fan support. Luke can run fast if he has to but it's not his first choice. José Iglesias takes a reggaeton star turn. So much pitcher churn with Stras retiring, Shohei out with the arm but in with the...
Christopher, Spencer, Bobby, and Julio
August 22, 2023 16:00 - 48 minutes - 66.3 MBChristopher Morel, Spencer Torkelson, and Patti, are all too sexy for their shirts. Even if he doesn’t want them, Max keeps racking up the personal accomplishments. Kyle continues to own Nats Park, Bobby and Julio are two of a kind, Luis is all about the slam, and the 1983 WS MVP is all about Adley. Our Police Blotter is all Wander, who has been firmly placed on the NCiB’s no-fly list, while we wait for the various investigations to decide on the rest of his future. Gunnar got to choose bet...
Can Fenway be a Boyfriend?
August 15, 2023 16:00 - 48 minutes - 67.1 MBWe were there to meet Luis Tiant *and* watch Kyle Isbel break the Green Monster, all while wearing Jerry Garcia jerseys. This is how we do baseball roadtrips. We missed Dominican night but it was a model for community outreach and service. Nicky Lopez rocks both the bat and the scoreless 9th now that he’s a Hammer. Miguel passes Tony, and Seiya teaches us that mental health days are an important tool. Phillies fans try something new by supporting a struggling player and it seems to ...
Breaking the Rules of Fight Club
August 08, 2023 16:00 - 56 minutes - 77.6 MBHow can we *not* talk about Fight Club when it features dueling BFs? Patti’s former CLE BF Jose Ramirez clocks Patti’s former CWS BF and Down Goes Anderson. Mayhem clears the way for unexpected debut circumstances and a wild time to hear the SpongeBob theme. Patti and Pottymouth’s excellent adventure takes us to Cooperstown where we spend a Sunday at the Church of Baseball. Loved the Hall of Fame, but surprising no one, we have notes. Luis Urias heads to the Red Sox, which seems li...
Middle Fingers and Father Time
August 01, 2023 16:00 - 56 minutes - 78.2 MBAs the trade deadline crashes down, Pottymouth kries for Kiké returning to the LAD, and Patti plots to wrangle Max away from The Kids’ fantasy team now that he’s a Ranger. The Mets fire sale may help Mark VIentos get regular playing time. Juan’s injured middle finger keeps going up and down, just like Pottymouth’s. Ha Seong Kim has sneaky WAR. We strongly suggest a broadcast future for Joey Votto when he’s ready for a career change. International baseball is coming to us! In Novembe...
If We Took a Holliday
July 25, 2023 16:00 - 44 minutes - 61.6 MBWe come away from a Bowie Baysox game with stars in our eyes for Jackson Holliday’s bat and water repellant gear in the form of giveaway Hawaiian shirts. Pottymouth catches us up with Nats BF CJ Abrams, and the surge of the other side of that trade, Juan Soto. Triston Casas homers twice off of Max and Cal Raleigh contributes to a SEA win rivaling the Taylor Swift concert across the street for excitement. Jarred kicks a water cooler and it ends exactly as badly as you’d think. We cro...
300, With Friends
July 18, 2023 16:00 - 48 minutes - 66.8 MBPatti and Pottymouth celebrate our 300th episode with a peanut gallery of friends of the pod. Manny celebrated the occasion with his 300th homer. And we hope you celebrate with a donation to Proud to Be in Baseball. Pottymouth has a whole old out, new in, new out, old in boyfriend situation with Oswald Peraza and Rodolfo Castro. Chas McCormick’s bat is ridiculously hot and his recent play in Seattle is ridiculously suspicious. Bobby Witt Jr and Drew Waters have magic in a blue bott...
