So many catchers in this snack size episode.  We’ve got pinky injuries, rolled ankles, welcome back dingers with glasses, and only dingers against Toronto. The Orioles help build an outdoor classroom at Harlem Park Elementary with a donated playoff share, and players fill its library with their own favorite books.  Pottymouth is well aware that she should roster her NYY bf but you can’t take the Boston out of the fantasy team manager. What happened to Mike Trout is NOT what happened to Mookie Betts, it’s not against the rules, but please stop doing it anyway. Duran is missing a huge opportunity to atone for past mistakes and change lives, but nope. Please read this piece by Kevin Blackstone in the Washington Post about the team of Jackie Robinson visiting the Trump White House.  We would have just ranted, but he just lays it all out there, calm, cool, and cutting. Pottymouth walks us through all the connections between the tragic roof collapse of the Dominican nightclub and so many MLB players. Patti picks “person in front of whom all ideas for alternate team identities must be run before selection” as her next career.  The River Cats/Gold Diggers really put her over. Puerto Rico looks like the only place we can stand to visit for WBC games – want to join us?
