Baseball players once again step up for disaster relief, this time for earthquakes in Puerto Rico, where ballparks are serving as shelters. Our favorite World Series first pitch, Chef Jose Andres, is feeding thousands through his World Central Kitchen, a good destination for your relief dollars or volunteer time, if you are so inclined.

Patti explains Arbitration, and runs through NCIB boyfriends past and present heading down the file and trial road. Mookie and Cody set records for deals.

Pottymouth chooses Albert Pujols as her Angels boyfriend because of the shirt on her back and the shirt off of his. Patti makes the painful decision to cut loose once and forever boyfriend Anthony Rendon (while wearing his shirt on her back) for non-baseball reasons, which frees her up to select Shohei Ohtani in his DH role, which is not a real thing. From the Phillies, Pottymouth calls on Scott Kingery, he of the inside-the-park home runs and puppapalooza. Patti picks the best catcher in the league, JT Realmuto, who shares quite the All-Star game routine with his wife.

We run down the latest news in electronic sign stealing, 12 hours before all the Astros news breaks, and review the state of Winter Baseball. We cross-train with the Olympics, where athletes will be banned from political and religious demonstrations on the field, the podium, and the Village.
