Sorry I recorded into a potato this week. I discovered just as we were about to start our session that the cable for my microphone was broken, and it uses a mini USB port, which was once omnipresent as a means to charge cell phones, handheld game consoles, etc., but has been almost entirely subsumed by micro USB and USB-C. Luckily I've procured a replacement and by next week, I should sound regular once more.

Having decided that Jazz was invented in 1917, we take the opportunity to discuss backup catcher and Cuban baseball legend Mike Gonzalez. 2010's Tater Tot is the temperamental Carlos Zambrano or "Big Z." We also hypothesize about the now-erstwhile trade deadline.
