We profile boyfriends from Toronto and St. Louis, detail the shake up in the Os quality hair above replacement (qHAR), and share first day fun with the pitch clock. Alejandro “Captain” Kirk is still a Spring Training no-show for all the right reasons, and is Pottymouth’s TOR bf for this season.  Patti selects TOR trilingual utility player Otto Lopez because baseball is the universal language. On the Cards side of things, Pottymouth picks Pujols mentee Juan Yepez while Patti chooses the fast-tracked big bat of Alec “Burly” Burleson. Patti tries to bring the calm regarding the new pitch clock rules – it’s day one, friends, take a breath! In labor news, Tony Clark draws a line in the sand over salary caps while San Diego and Pittsburgh show opposite ends of small-market spending. Manny gets his extension, Bobby sends a home run right to the gut, and we enjoy MLB’s school picture day.
