Join us for birthday cross training, swag fails, rule corollaries, and a guest appearance by West Coast Correspondent Deborah. Adolis > Aaron, Mark Vientos comes up and Yahoo won’t let Patti capitalize on that, Seiya is turning a corner, and Bryce Miller scores an emergency fantasy draft. Deborah and Jayson Stark do a deep dive into the state of the new rules, and if the A’s are bad, or Spider-bad. Liam Hendriks brings the love through food trucks. We take an upstream look at the Dodgers vs.The Sisters debacle. Zac Gallen channels Randy Johnson in the worst way, and we revisit Sticky vs. Ta ..read more

Nothing better for these moms than talking baseball on Mothers Day, plus a detour to the farmers market for bread and booze, to NYC for a show, and a little sitcom talk. The entire AL East remains above .500 which makes us proud and pissed at the same time. Cedric Mullins hit for the cycle during Patti’s book club and Triston Casas “regrets” his 442’ homer. If Mickey Moniak’s season debut including a homer and 2 stolen bases on his 25th birthday had happened for the NYY instead of the LAA, Harrison Bader would have gifted him a very nice bottle of wine. Pottymouth checks in on not-in-her lineu ..read more

We agree with Fernando Tatis, Jr. when he says, “who doesn’t love Ha-Seong Kim?” Max Muncy flexes his dad power. Pottymouth’s weekly Kiké mention is really about the ceremonial first pitch of his model cousin Sofía Jirau. Last Friday’s Hammers vs Os game, with Max Fried vs. Dean Kremer, was the 5th time in MLB history with two Jewish starting pitchers. The High A Hillsboro Hops (with manager Ronnie Gajownik) vs. Vancouver Canadians (Ashley Stephenson position coach) series brought us women in uniform on both sides of the field. Our Police Blotter features a conversation of when is a flub reall ..read more

Crosstraining with Games 7 provides the opportunity to revisit both grammar and the “gear algorithm.” Vocabulary lessons include “hamate excision,” “batter’s eye,” and “cheezstayk” (which Patti objects to on many  levels). Pottymouth’s trip to Philadelphia includes a great showing by Patti’s former bfs (Castellanos, Pache, and Marsh), an Aquaman sighting, and beer as souvenirs because it is always the right size. Yu Chang is about to obtain superpowers, Corbin Carroll has super speed, and LA has something super as there are a large number of Little Tiny Dodgers. Patti’s bfs Raleigh and Ra ..read more

The A’s buy land in Las Vegas so of course Patti and West Coast Correspondent Deborah talk anti-gentrification, environmental clean-up, affordable housing, and pitch a cross-training idea of an NHL expansion team at Howard Terminal. Max Scherzer takes over the Police Blotter with his ejection for hands “the stickiest it's been.” The case in point pigeon delay leads WCCD to express some compassion for umpires dealing with new rules with little guidance. Manny makes a kid’s day, Kiké expresses 100th homer joy in a fully Pottymouth way. Bryce is a medical miracle, Joey’s bat wakes up as soon as P ..read more

Jackie Robinson Day always teaches us something new. The 2013 Red Sox commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing, Pedro begins a mentoring program, and Pottymouth takes issue with the bleeping of David Ortiz. Yu Chang starts hitting, Jarred Kelenic hits it far, and Franchy is hitting big for the wrong team. Patti dives into the math around the uptick in stolen bases – will this year’s champ hit 60? 80? And Trea wants to make sure we’re stealing for the right reasons. Tatis finally gets a shot at AAA ball. We’re with Rocco in the Police Blotter where he takes issue with ump ..read more

The governor of Maryland shows that he postgames like we pregame, so he is our people. Our Brewer’s boyfriends get our attention this week as Brice Turang grand slams for his first HR, and Garrett and Haley Cruse Mitchell have some social media fun. Patti’s CLE bf Myles Straw leads the league in stolen bases and gives Patti her only lead in fantasy baseball. In a BF plus one crosstraining note, we wish Mallory Swanson a speedy recovery. We note that Corbin Carroll does not dig himself out of the ”parents dropped me off for the first day of school” issue by saying that they just needed the car ..read more

Join Patti and Pottymouth for a conversation with Bryan Ruby, ballplayer, country music artist, and founder of Proud to Be in Baseball. Come for the important conversation about creating a safe space for LGBTQ+ baseball players, learn about the life of a journeyman baseball player, and share some country music dreams.  Stay for the qHAR tips and the near miss of being named for Cal Ripken, Jr. Find Baseball Country, Left Field, and more of Bryan's music in "all  the places," and look for him at a ballpark near you this summer ..read more

In which we make likely terrible predictions for the upcoming season, celebrate the new CBA for Minor League players, and share a teaser of our upcoming interview with ballplayer, country music artist, and founder of Proud to be in Baseball, Bryan Ruby. Adley Rutschman sets an enormous number of firsts on his first Opening Day. Pottymouth heads to Boston to reassure Dad about some particular Red Sox. We look at the effect of MLB’s new rules on game time, stolen bases, and beer sales based on one day of data. Minor Leaguers ratified their first ever CBA, more than doubling their salaries and im ..read more

We kick off Season 7 (!) with a World Baseball Classic wrap-up, an Opening Day kick off, and an intro to our flocks of pitchers. The WBC left many happy results in its wake. Team Australia’s Mitch Neunborn was signed by the Phils, Nicaraguan closer Duque Hebbert signed on site by the Tigers, and Team Israel built new ballfields. There were so many more eyeballs on the games, fans in the seats, and merch in the shopping carts than ever before. Closing out our Fantasy Boyfriend Baseball League recruitment, Pottymouth claims the Blue Jays as her pitching flock, with a focus on Alek Manoah. Patti ..read more
