So many awards, so many failed predictions. Pottymouth’s pre-season ROY pick of Julio Rodriquez was the exception, reminding us all that our observations are for entertainment purposes only. Patti thinks Brandon Hyde was robbed, just a little, but otherwise we can’t really complain about the winners. We review the hot stove vocabulary word “non-tender” and things teams and players cannot say about contracts and perceived value of free agents per the CBA. We cross-train with the shame of World Cup Soccer. In international baseball we learn that Astrubal Cabrera does not enjoy a bat flip, and you are now able to hone your fantasy baseball skills with the LVPB. World Baseball Classic’s Team Japan may be a new favorite as they pick up Ohtani, Kwan, and Nootbaar.  We say “doing collusion,” “that means you can’t be my boyfriend,” and “clutching Jack Daniels.”
