West Coast Correspondent Deborah joins Patti to talk Max, mud, and Manfred while Pottymouth is on the road. Another eat the rich rant emerges from Rob Manfred’s letter regarding the anti-trust exemption, which merely proves that the Commissioner is completely detached from the gig economy and a sense of right and wrong in addition to the math of a living wage. The expanded playoff plan seems to be working for your hosts as they are already quoting games behind in the Wildcard for teams that last year would be out of it. Austin Hays creates a scholarship and checks off a future boyfriend box. Max shows his old guy traits. Deborah gets a lead on the secret location of the mud. Is Walltimore catching on in the AL East? The Rogers Centre plans say maybe so!  The International Draft proposal dies with a whimper. Why is there a trashcan of baseball pants on Patti’s deck?

We say “science-ify,” “The double-bird is not how I greet *my* friends, but okay,” and “I just turned into Norma Rae.”
