Mookie Betts is back on the DL but never fear, Andrew Benintendi is here! The Detroit Tigers’ season, however, may depend on fowl balls as they pin their hopes on a Rally Goose.

This week’s boyfriend updates include Francisco Lindor, Scooter Gennett, and Max Scherzer, but finding replacement boyfriends is really, really hard. We have a little early Father's’ Day celebration for Dereck Rodriguez (son of Pudge), Kody Clemens (son of Roger), Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. (son of Vlad, Sr.), and Luke Farrell (son of John). It makes us feel so, so old.

More celebrating: It’s Pride month! Lots of LGBT Pride events throughout MLB, and Billy Bean and Daniel Murphy demonstrate that conversation and common ground can change minds.

Finally, this weekend’s Breakthrough Series shows MLB’s commitment to women in baseball is for real.

All that and Patti & Pottymouth volunteering for the All-Star Game, this week in No Crying In Baseball!
