Patti and the Pottymouth welcome Marla from the Mansplain Baseball Elsewhere podcast to talk Atlanta baseball. We share some Freddie love, talk changing problematic team names, and feel tremendously old as our Jethro Tull jokes fall flat. 

Playoffs are a week away so we get you prepped with the layout of the rounds, seeding, and quarantine rules.  They aren’t bubbles, they are neutral sites with protocols. Will there be fans in the stands for the World Series? It’s Texas, so who knows?  What are the pros and cons of the expanded playoffs? Big Papi gives a personal COVID-19 PSA, and now even dangerous air quality from wildfires is creating public health havoc for baseball.  We balance the disappointing Verlander Tommy John news with the happy of Rippkin Penn Holt joining the Brockstar family.  It’s the last week of the regular season, can we please let Brock Holt catch?

Pottymouth’s former bad boy BF Josh Donaldson is ejected after hitting a tater, because kicking dirt on home plate is the only way umpires suffer consequences for bad calls.  Patti tries not to take it personally that a slew of former boyfriends, who slumped during their relationship, are having banner seasons now, like Jose Ramirez and the string of multihomer games.  The CPBL standings are still too close to call, but the important thing is Pottymouth is rocking a new Lions jersey.
