Today’s episode features a surprising number of references to Roberto Clemente, awkward puns, and post-production inserts. Pottymouth goes full Criollos for this week’s boyfriend picks – Vimael Machín for Oakland and no-no catcher Victor Caratini for the Padres. Patti’s A’s guy is Skye Bolt for many reasons that are not his name, and exercises her once a year forever boyfriend option on Padre Jake Cronenworth. Pottymouth and Big Papi both give Boston writer Dan Shaughnessy crap for his HoF snub. The Police Blotter features Angel Hernandez and a Petco Park tragedy. Winter ball championships are winding up in time for the Serie del Caribe, starting January 28th. Tampreal was never going to happen. We say “omicrony,” “did you just squirt the cat?” and “I can’t believe I didn’t say Schwah-bah.”
