No Crying In Baseball

The race is on for the first player to a 20-20 season.  Will it be Mike Trout? Mookie Betts? Tim Anderson? Andrew Benintendi?

Patti welcomes Jays BF Aledmys Diaz back from the DL, and DBacks BF Paul Goldschmidt back from his slump. Pottymouth brings the adorable with little brothers of Alex Bregman and Carlos Correa drafted by the StrosBros.

Surprisingly, the best play uniting Baseball and Beer this week is NOT the woman chugging her beer full of foul ball. But it could be.

Mookie Betts is back on the DL but never fear, Andrew Benintendi is here! The Detroit Tigers’ season, however, may depend on fowl balls as they pin their hopes on a Rally Goose.

This week’s boyfriend updates include Francisco Lindor, Scooter Gennett, and Max Scherzer, but finding replacement boyfriends is really, really hard. We have a little early Father's’ Day celebration for Dereck Rodriguez (son of Pudge), Kody Clemens (son of Roger), Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. (son of Vlad, Sr.), and Luke Farrell (son of John). It makes us feel so, so old.

More celebrating: It’s Pride month! Lots of LGBT Pride events throughout MLB, and Billy Bean and Daniel Murphy demonstrate that conversation and common ground can change minds.

Finally, this weekend’s Breakthrough Series shows MLB’s commitment to women in baseball is for real.

All that and Patti & Pottymouth volunteering for the All-Star Game, this week in No Crying In Baseball!

Patti and the Pottymouth discuss the healing powers of pee and successfully predict the epic-ness of the Trevor Bauer / Gerrit Cole duel. Ohtani, Trout, yada yada but have you seen this guy Scooter Gennett? Rookies hit it out of so many parks in debuts this week (Is it too early to order our Soto jerseys?)

There’s some talk therapy to help Pottymouth through her extreme boyfriend flux (Oh, Hanley.). Those crazy Rays may be on to something with their closers as “openers.” Patti gets to say, “Juiced balls,” “Cowboy Joe West,” and work multiple hockey references into the conversation.

All this plus women’s baseball, international softball, and the Shred Hate Initiative.

We were touched to see the compassionate reactions from local sports teams after the tragic shooting at Sante Fe High in Texas. Sports help us come together as a community and heal.

Robinson Cano gets an 80-game suspension for use of a PED masking agent. He says it was accidental but was it, really?

Astros pitching tops the charts for ERAs but Cory Kluber and Max Scherzer have much to celebrate, too.

Finally, Pottymouth talks nice about the Yankees (to everyone's amazement) but Patti brings her back to herself with some hate for Derek "no press is good press" Jeter.

Special Mother's Day shout-out to all the baseball and softball mothers out there! Thanks for all you do!

This week, updates on Trevor Bauer, Wilson Ramos, Francisco Lindor, Sean Rodriguez, and Scooter Gennett. The Mets make a little league error and the humidor at Chase Field dampens even the Diamondback's Paul Goldschmidt.

Did you know that April is the first month in MLB history to record More strikeouts than hits? Patti tells us all about it and Pottymouth has a thing or two to say.

All that and pretty shoes, too!

MLB outlaws the use of "any foreign substance" by pitchers but Patti reports on Trevor Bauer's call to allow pine tar and other substances. Listen to find out why!

The Seattle Mariners leave Patti & Pottymouth scratching their heads over their announcement that Ichiro Suzuki is not retiring, but won't be playing. Could it all be part of a long-term plan?

What happens when Pottymouth's father learns she curses for the very first time? Disappointment and confusion, perhaps, but maybe moms can curse vicariously.

Player highlights: Wilson Ramos homers again, Tommy Pham hits himself in the head with a bat and a "contraption", and Bryce Harper can't get a pitch.

All that and questions about a shorter MLB season in this week's episode!

This week we review the Twins-Indians series in Puerto Rico, where hometown stars José Berríos, Francisco Lindor, and Eddie Rosario all shone on the island still recovering from Hurricane Maria, along with a power outage that nearly shut down the series.

Patti introduces a new stat! SPRINT SPEED. You'll have to listen to find out what that means and who has more boyfriends in the top ten.

Bryan Price is out at the Reds. Could John Farrell step in? What about Dusty Baker?

All that and a Minor League shout-out in this week's episode!

Jackie Robinson Day celebration! Wait, is that...Wahoo? With the #42? Seriously, wft?

Pottymouth has a word or two for Torey Lovullo after he said some unkind things about her Cardinals boyfriend Yadier Molina. Not okay, Torey!

MLB at the UFC! Play-by-play for the Rockies-Padres and Red Sox-Yankees brawls and the "three stages of the brawl".

Big shout out to MLB for their Trailblazer Series, bringing 100 baseball-playing girls ages 11 to 13 to California for the MLB Youth Academy! 

Patti takes the lead in the Boyfriend Fantasy League as Pottymouth moves into second place and Patti's second string moves into third. There's a long way to go yet, so keep listening.

Chuck Nazty signs for 6 more years at $108-$116 million (the oldest player to get over $100 mil at 32). Could it be the Altuve effect? And what are the implications for possibly next year’s free agents like Machado and Harper, both 25?

Turns out the Buster Posey rule against blocking home plate only applies to catchers. Who knew? Maybe Mychal Givens, and all Didi Gregorius got was an out and a bloody mouth.

Pottymouth keeps her lead in the Boyfriend Fantasy League as Patti moves into second place. There's a long way to go yet, so keep listening.
