MLB is just printing money now, with deals for bad hats, alter-egos for minor league teams, and gold patches that will turn into collectibles and replica jerseys.  We really do buy all the things. It’s time to pick our pitching squads (flocks?) and weirdly we leave LAD alone. Pottymouth finds her ideal law firm, and inner 12 year old, in ARI and Patti says PHI is the place to be. The Dodgers and Cubs visit Japan for exhibition games and the official start to the season, while the kids enjoy the Spring Breakout. Anyone want to buy the Rays? Because they are burning some bridges in Tampa. And Devers eats some humble pi.

We say, “Oh dear, Tampa? It’s usually Oh hell, Florida,” “Vento-mocha-cream-whatever the f*#k it is,” and, “We will get in a car and drive for Hooch Pooches.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
