The Angels-Mariners brawl turns out to be a treasure trove of boyfriend activity including suspensions, pizza deliveries, giant tips for drivers, and another Abigail Situation. We break down Freddie’s no good very bad week. Pottymouth un-dumps Jerran Duran and puts dibs on Jonathan Araúz as a possible future bp. We say farewell to Lo Cain, welcome our As bfs to the show, and appreciate Raimel Tapia’s dramatic qHar reveal.  Kyle Tucker runs on PitchCom. Good humans this week include David Price, Joe Ross, and Liam Hendriks for speaking out on reproductive rights, and Max Scherzer treats the Rumble Ponies to a feast to remember during his re-hab stint. Note to Stras, you can do better than Chipotle.

The Senate Judiciary Committee reached out to Advocates for Minor Leaguers which signals movement on MLB’s antitrust exemption, the reason minor league players are allowed poor wages and conditions. A vote decided Oakland’s Howard Terminal is not a port after all, which means the As are not yet going to Vegas. The Padres released their City Connect unis this week and we are ready for the beach! We say “smells like wine, tastes like beer,” extreme Yankees exposure, and “temper the passion, protect the skull.”
