Forced to find the good in the Yankees, Pottymouth is clearly won over by new BF Estevan Florial. Patti gives the nod to impeccably groomed Giancarlo Stanton and his “fricking forearms.” For the Cardinals, Pottymouth flies like an eagle with Edmundo “Mundito” Sosa and Patti cheers Noots-not-boos for Lars Nootbaar. We note that it is the lockout, not CBA negotiations, forcing a delay in spring training games and we catch you up on the latest proposals. We ponder the sheer size of the deal Juan Soto turned down, and wish Mr. Walk-off well. In our Police Blotter, the testimony of Matt Harvey and other players blows open the story of widespread drug use in major league baseball, while Eric Kay is found guilty of supplying the pills resulting in the death of Tyler Skaggs. We share a fashion moment from the minors and take a stand for televising women’s sports. We say Haitian/Dominican political situation, trans flag, and deep down I'm Ironman.
