Plesac, Clevenger, Cintrón, we’ve got ‘em all going on. Turns out breaking your team’s code of conduct, disparaging someone’s mother, defending said mother, and pouting all have consequences.  The Cardinals are back after 19 days off, just in time for the Reds to have an active player test positive putting a few games on ice. We will enjoy any opportunity to set Trevor Bauer off on a righteous rant, however.

Oh, hey, the Orioles are still above .500 and Austin Hays hit the league’s very first two-run lead-off homer.  Let those words sink in and hurray for starting a runner on second. So far two Nationals pitchers have been ejected from games that they were watching from the stands. The White Sox commentators have Broadway game.

We got some boyfriends on the IL, including Jeff McNeil with a scary wall collision, 5-5 Bo Bichette with a knee sprain, and our old friend the hamate rearing its ugly hook but likely giving Tommy Pham superpowers in about a month. Pottymouth is sad for Jose Altuve, and regrets not choosing Jonathan Arauz as her Red Sox boyfriend, but at least she’s got Juan Soto. Patti goes all in on Oakland A’s bandwagon-ing as Matty Moustache can only hit homers (until he hit three singles instead).

Korea shuts down fans in the stands to curb a coronavirus outbreak that the US wouldn’t even blink at. Pottymouth and NCiB best friend Clive Hsu get all Vegas on the second half of the CPBL season, and for this episode’s dose of adorable, here’s the Taiwan Bomber’s tiny son throwing out a first pitch to celebrate his dad’s 1000th hit.
