No Crying In Baseball

Patti 0:18
Hi, welcome to episode 462 of No Crying in Baseball, the Heck of a Lot of Fun episode. My name is Patti. Here with my friend Pottymouth. Hey, Pottymouth.

Pottymouth 0:26
I'm so glad we're gonna have a heck of a lot of fun, because it's Monday, and, man, it's been a Monday.

Patti 0:31
Can I tell you a fun thing?

Pottymouth 0:32
Oh, please.

Patti 0:33
So, every other week, my department has - we could just call it a coffee in the morning, but it's kind of like what's going on in your life and what's happening work-wise that's important, like this week, and you know, but it's a little personal, it's a little, you know, so it kind of like little work-life balance, but that way everybody knows what's going on, and so they asked about like summer plans, and so I talked about our baseball road trip. Multiple people asked me, either there or separately, are you getting an RV, are you taking a fan,

Pottymouth 1:00
and I'm like, teeny tiny Subaru. Is

Patti 1:03
this a missed opportunity? Or no, we're making good choices. Airbnbs with two bedrooms, we're doing okay.

Pottymouth 1:09
And also, much more economical on the gasoline, like an RV would would cost us a fucking fortune.

Patti 1:16
It's more economical, it's like saving the world, it's saving our Patreon dollars. Yeah, yeah, all the things. Why did the first thing that you hear a two-week trip, and you all immediately go to, oh, you're getting an RV? That sounds like hell.

Pottymouth 1:28
I had not considered that. I definitely considered. Did

Patti 1:31
not cross our minds,

Pottymouth 1:32
but we have some good places to stay.

Patti 1:34
I know, and they're like, oh, how long have you guys been planning this? And I'm like, always a long time since forever. Anyway, hey, it's Pride Month.

Pottymouth 1:42
Yay, happy Pride here in Takoma Park. We had a very family-friendly - that's what I loved about our parade, a family-friendly parade yesterday. And it was more than friendly friendly, it was composed of families and so many, some little people, you know, the junior contingent of the of the city, and there was like the elementary rainbow club and the middle school group, and everybody was just happy and celebrating and colorful, and it was joyous, and it's a good thing,

Patti 2:11
and I like the people that I recognized were folks that work in non-profit community groups that are unrelated to, you know, do Pride month specifically, right, they're doing food insecurity stuff, they're doing like workforce stuff, I got all kinds of things all in the parade, multiple elected officials in the parade. My favorite, my personal favorite, drag queen in the parade, who I was talking to later.

Pottymouth 2:33
Oh, wow, which

Patti 2:34
was very funny. A couple of friends of mine and I were talking to Terah Hoot, and this mom and this little tiny girl started walking up, and they were kind of edging up, and like this tiny little girl, I swear her eyes were shaped like hearts.

Pottymouth 2:46
You are so beautiful,

Patti 2:48
and I kind of gave, like, Tara, like little hedge, a cape, look down way down there, and she like squatted down immediately, and make friends like she's a public school teacher,

Pottymouth 2:57
and she has story time, story

Patti 2:59
time, she got right down there, and was just chatting away with this little girl who couldn't have been happier. It was a thing of beauty.

Pottymouth 3:05
That's so nice.

Patti 3:06
I love Pride Day in Takoma Park. Yeah, yeah. On today's show, our boyfriends feature Not a Cycle, some slumps, some IL comings and goings, some country music, and a full bingo card. We've got Pride or No Pride. We've got Base Path becoming an exceedingly popular Google search term. We're cross-training with the World Cup, and maybe those leagues have a salary cap because their union is not so great. Cheers!

Pottymouth 3:31
Whoa, there's a bunch of stuff. There's a

Patti 3:32
bunch of stuff. So, it's good stuff. So, we're going to start with our boyfriends. These are the guys that we pick in the off season. Each of us picks one guy per team because they've got something we like about them. They're good at baseball. We like what they do, you know, philanthropically. They're funny, whatever it is. Bottom line, guys, we want to have a beer with. We also get to carry over one guy per year. And so, my, my first guy, I'm talking, my Ali Richmond, has been my once and forever boyfriend for a couple years now. He's the catcher for the Baltimore Orioles. One of the things I like to do is look at the, like, the seven day stats every time I'm doing prep for the show, how did my guys do these seven day stats, and so I'm telling you about the guys who have the highest ops for seven days. So Adley comes in at 1.059 because on Friday versus Toronto, he had a four for four night with five RBI, and I really, really enjoy this because he was a triple short of the cycle. He goes up for his last at bat in the ninth inning. He hit the ball to right center, it like rolled to the wall to do all the things to slow down.

Pottymouth 4:32
Oh, wow, he

Patti 4:33
ends up with a stand-up double, a two RBI double, and he just kind of stops, and he looks over the dugout, and every guy in the duck house, they're all like shucking, like, what the hell, dude, couldn't you just like keep going, and he's like, I'm fine, I mean, he knocked in two runs, it's like, I'm good, and they were also like, wow, he said I didn't have a chance to go three, but I thought it was pretty funny, because they were all hounding. Me, the four hits was his season high for a single game, and the five RBI was his most since April. So, that was pretty fun. So, yay for that. The opposing team has Okamoto, my Toronto guy, 1.0254

Pottymouth 5:15
wow, for the

Patti 5:16
week, not just quesadillas anymore. Apparently, he's got a new good luck thing, so my former boyfriend, actually from the Guardians days, Miles Straw on the Blue Jays with Caz, he suggested that Cass add Ella Langley's Choose in Texas as a walk-up song to alternate with his usual walk-up, which is by a Japanese band, right, and

Pottymouth 5:40
combo,

Patti 5:40
right, since they started doing that, he's had multiple hits in each of the three games. That's excellent since he added this country song, like every other walk-up. And Miles said, I just brought it next to a big fan of the song, and I thought fans would enjoy it. He said he actually likes it. We're gonna give it a shot here. So far, he's probably hitting 600 with it, so you know. And, of course, you know, I'm thinking about them being in Baltimore, so I had to add the thank God he's a country boy.

Pottymouth 6:04
That's great. I'm thinking, like, that's the Tex-Mex thing, right? The quesadilla, there's a concert. You're so good,

Patti 6:09
you're so good. All right, one of my espresso boys, Dominic Cansonia, from Seattle, 1.497 ops for seven days,

Pottymouth 6:20
so much espresso,

Patti 6:21
so his second inning on Saturday versus Detroit. They're in Detroit, he hit a ball 417 feet, which bounced off the wall, was not a home run, because we're in Detroit, and they're there straight away. Center field is really far out there. It would have been a home run in 24 other ballparks, including his home ballpark, you end up in RBI double. So, fifth inning hits the ball the exact same direction. This time it goes over the wall 452 feet, which is far into the shrubbery in the center field fountain, which is the longest home run of his career. It's longest hit by anybody on the Mariners this season, he, his average for the week was 524 including two doubles and three home runs. He's only got nine home runs for the season so far, which means three of them were in the past week. Four of his career home runs have been over 440 feet, so his home runs are far.

Pottymouth 7:18
That is crazy. I just keep thinking there's got to be like a Monty Python skit if they've got shrubbery in the sun. Yeah, of course. Bring

Patti 7:25
me a shrubbery. My missing starter from Detroit, Derek Scoubel, had his first rehab start on Sunday. That's a good thing. One month after his elbow surgery, if you remember, it was for a loose body. They had to remove a loose body from his elbow, he pitched five scoreless innings, 6k for high A Western Michigan. Why was he rehabbing in high A Western Michigan, as opposed to say Triple A? Because the AAA team, which is in Iowa, was going to have bad weather, they wanted to make sure that he was able to pitch smart. So I'm not sure if, like, you know, the stats would have been quite the same with the highlight, but still we're good there. They're suggesting that he may be back in the rotation for next weekend already,

Pottymouth 8:09
really. So, month after surgery,

Patti 8:11
Detroit's pretty excited about that. I don't know how school was feeling about that. My, my, my very sad little fantasy team is pretty excited about that. So, here's cross all fingers,

Pottymouth 8:22
that's modern medicine, man. Like, I can't.. I've heard we do some good

Patti 8:26
things,

Pottymouth 8:26
that is so crazy. So, before I start talking, I notice, talk about the beer that I just finished, which was from Lo No Brewery. It was a Mexican lager, El something.. I don't remember the whole title, and we brought another beer in with us that I'm sure we'll be drinking by the time I finish speaking. You got a while before you have to open it, but it is.

Patti 8:46
Oh, it's another Partridge Family beer, yeah,

Pottymouth 8:48
and it's rainbowy, so we're in Pride month. I love the rainbow thing,

Patti 8:51
dragon fruit sour, yeah,

Pottymouth 8:53
colorful,

Patti 8:54
yay.

Pottymouth 8:55
So my guys on my fantasy league are not nearly as eventful. Well, they're eventful in the wrong way. Not, it's not doing nearly as well as yours. I've got guys on the 60 day guy with a minor stay and a guy with slumping ways, and that's that's my poem for today. I'm gonna start out with my 60 day guys. So, 60 days is not a good thing. This means that they're on the IL for 60 days, which is a really long time. Ramon Laureano from the Padres, he's probably going to be his 60 days are going to probably last four or five months, which, you know, 60 days is a kind of an estimate after his surgery that he had just a couple days ago on june 5 to repair his labrum. I feel like I am improving with my medical knowledge, because I start looking these things up, so you know, I see it in the article, and I think, how many people really know what a labrum is? And apparently, in case you didn't know, like, I don't know, labrum is a ring of cartilage around a socket, and you can have a hip labrum or a shoulder labrum, and for this guy, it's his hip, and like other guys who have been around, sometimes those hip. Injuries that you had a few years ago just kind of like are a nagging thing, and come back, he was injured in 2021 He got treated with that old injection, and those injections wear off for a while. And you know what, this is the season where it's really worn off. He started off like gangbusters, he was great with the O's last year before that trade, right, mid-season trade, when him and Ryan O'Hearn went to the with the Padres, and he started off with the Padres this year really well, 1043 ops in those four March games, and then slid a little bit in April, but still respectable for OPS with the 714 and the 24 April games, May 524 OPS in 25 games in May, and he finally fessed up that he was in a lot of pain. He fessed up when he was at the Nats and surgery a couple days later. He's a free agent after this season, so it's a rough time for him to be out for so long. Another guy that's going to make a really bad impact on my fantasy team for being out for so long is Garrett Crochet, who you know, I always feel like I've been duped when it's like that. Oh, he's just out for a couple days, day to day, and oh, it's the 15 day, and now it's the fucking 60 day, and I'm like, why was I misled, and I had hope. He has a low-grade lat strain, and a lat is the back of your shoulder, sort of like below shoulder blade area, and I was confused because when I first heard about his injury, it was more like a top shoulder inflammation. I was thinking rotator cuff, maybe he had that crazy fucked up game in April against Minnesota, where he gave up 11 runs in one and two thirds inning, and I at that point was like, something's wrong, he's broken. He bounced back against Baltimore, which, you know, sorry about that. A few days later, and pitched six scoreless innings and went against them, and then went on the 15 day IO really soon after that. So that was the 25th of April that he had that great outing. 29th of April, he's on the 15 day, and they retroactively, you know, put it back to right after that game, yay, beer with left shoulder inflammation. So I was like, okay, it's just gonna fix it a little bit.

Pottymouth 12:14
He was throwing off the mound may 14 and feeling optimistic about it, and had some problems, but had live BP may 26 and that's when he first felt the lat tightness, and the next BP was canceled. So, the press went on it right away, and Crochet said it feels like a very minor setback. It stinks to even call it a setback. It doesn't even feel like it deserves that title. So, Potty Mouth Hope is like through the roof. He's gonna be back any moment yet, gets the MRI, low grade strain, 3060 day, they're thinking maybe after the all-star break he could come back.

Patti 12:47
It's like actual 60, as opposed to

Pottymouth 12:49
exactly he on this season, he has a 630 era, three and three, three wins, three losses on the system, which is not crochet. Like last year, he was like Cy Young caliber when he had an 18 and five record with Boston 259 ERA, so this is not his usual self. I hope that this all works and that he can actually come back. I mean, because there's nothing that's that's called surgery at this point, he has a strain, so that makes me nervous. Is it going to be okay? We like, you know, try to rehab the strain, and oh shit, we actually need surgery. I don't know, one

Patti 13:29
of those things that's going to just keep creeping is, well, you know, yeah, they are trying the least invasive things,

Pottymouth 13:33
right,

Patti 13:33
which, you know, if that works, that's great, because then he's back sooner, but then it doesn't work, you just kicking the can down the road until you get to

Pottymouth 13:38
it. Yeah, I just want more, less invasive stuff to work, to work, to work, so that's that's my pitching, and you talked about it, like we were supposed to have this palette, like high caliber pitching both of our fantasy league teams this year, and not only Crochet is having issues, but Brian Bayo, which, honestly, in my preseason analysis of the Red Sox pitching, and we have to pick a whole flock of pitchers because of the way our fantasy league works. I was least confident, Brian Baio. I feel bad because Pedro Martinez had so much hope in him, and he does like look like a young Pedro. He said, "I see myself in it, and he has just not lived up to that. He started doing measurably better with an opener, they put in a guy for the first inning, bring Baio in, so much better, thanks to May. Actually, his May stats look pretty decent when he played against Cleveland on may 29 for example, zero runs on seven innings because of the opener. Then they announced that he is starting against Baltimore, right? So I think that was last week, was that last week?

Patti 14:46
Yeah,

Pottymouth 14:47
so they announced that he's the starting pitcher, and you know everybody in Red Sox land before the fucking game was like, what do you mean starting? He had had the last three with openers, what's going on? He gave up eight runs in five innings, so everybody. Harshing on the management for making this decision, and then mr. Potty Mouth pointed me to an interview with Bayo, where he was, he gave off serious Devers vibes. It was serious, serious, like I'm not gonna play for space, kind of vibes. It was, you know, this is a porqueria that's like, kind of, kind of like a embarrassment, talking about me coming from the bullpen, I'm a starter, and I'm not going to rehab in the minors. I'm going to fix this here. I'm a big league starting pitcher, and I'm going to make my adjustments. Well,

Patti 15:31
you don't get to pick,

Pottymouth 15:32
yeah. And that's pretty much what Chad Tracy said, right? Oh,

Patti 15:36
Chad Tracy is

Pottymouth 15:37
that manager of the Red Sox. I remembered, I'm glad I remembered the manager's name, even though I kind of squeaked it. So, in eight starts, where he started the game, he made it through 35 and two thirds innings pitched, and his ERA was 10.35 In the four games where he was quote a bulk reliever, which means somebody else did the first inning, he had a 071 ERA into almost as many like 10 fewer innings, 25 and one thirds innings pitched. His first inning era, if you look at just his first inning, 16.88 the worst in the league. So

Patti 16:14
hard it is the

Pottymouth 16:15
problem for the Red Sox, though, is they didn't fucking win those games with the opener because they put in an opener who gave up a shit ton of runs, so he came in with a deficit. At least he didn't make it worse, but Tracy, again, I remember the guy's name, I'm proud of that. Also, said he's our starting pitcher, he needs to act like a starting pitcher, which I get, but I don't know. Do you think he could train somebody, be an opener. I just don't know, but so they sent him down to Worcester. They sent him down to AAA to work it out, and he must be freaking the fuck out about that. The quote I saw from Tracy was, 'He's taking it very professionally. I was like, 'Oh, I doubt it. Bullshit, I want to see that interview. All right, so those are my struggling pitchers. One of my struggling outfielders is Justin Crawford, who has had a big slump at the plate in May. He is another one who started off like gangbusters. I was so excited for this kid, you know, rookie with the Phillies, Kyle Crawford's son, 333 in those four games in March, and then had, like, you know, a reasonable sort of rookie getting used to things in April with a 256 average down to 195 in May, so the outfield coach Paco Figueroa figures if he's not doing it at the plate he's got to make up for it defensively, because he had been doing very poorly defensively in center field, he was second to last in outs above average behind Julio Rodriguez. I was surprised by that. Yeah, I don't, don't think of him as a struggling center fielder, but Paco told him, I told him, if you want to play center field, stop the timid. Well, he stopped the timid this week, and he crashed into the wall twice, one at the Padres and one at the Dodgers. Luckily, they pad those walls these days, and he kind of bounced off. He did okay, and you know, did okay enough after the first one that he did the second one, made two really good plays, and he improved in the rankings from bad to average. He's also trying to stop the timid on the base paths. He's a, he's a fast guy, that's why he's in center field. He is known for, he should be stealing bases. He had only stolen two bases before May in April, but he stole five in May and then one in June. So April was slow, and didn't get any in those March games. April was slow. He's speeding up. So I'm hoping Stop the Timid is his new catchphrase. Maybe it should be my new catchphrase. I'm so timid

Patti 18:42
in no way whatsoever.

Pottymouth 18:44
I'm gonna stop the timid, that's my retirement goal. And I'm gonna drink this, this beer. So delicious,

Patti 18:52
you know what? I'm happy I get to say Lars Noot Bar. I haven't said Lars Noot Bar in a long time. Lars was my St. Louis boyfriend, a while back, and again, so we're talking about our former boyfriends. These are guys who know we've picked before. We can't keep them from year to year, except for the one, but we like to follow them. We pick them for good reasons, and we like to see them do well. So, Lars Newport, Friday comes back from the aisle, he had surgery on both of his heels in October,

Pottymouth 19:20
heels,

Patti 19:20
both heels to remove something called Hagelin's deformities. We're

Pottymouth 19:24
learning so much medical terminology today. Can I tell you what these are? Yes, please. These are

Patti 19:28
bumps on the back of your heel that are made up of bone, so like it's a whole big, like, looks like it's a ball under the skin, and it's irritating. Yeah, it's bad. It's like it's hard, like on your shoes, it's on comforters, bad in a lot of ways. So those were removed. It took him a while to kind of come back from that. So finally, right, you know, we're in June. Finally comes back this past Friday. He said, I felt like opening day first. So these guys have been playing for 60 games. It's my opening day. So his first day back, he has. Two hit game, including an RBI double, that's great. Saturday, he doesn't start, he comes off the bench in the bottom of the eighth as a pinch hitter, hits a go-ahead two-run home run, his first home run of the season, which is crazy. That's in June, it was opening weekend, right? He, it went 433 feet, the whole crowd is yelling newt again, which they hadn't had a chance to do it so much very long time, so that was pretty fun. Cheers everywhere. His manager said it was good to be able to use him off the bench, dude. Can hit man, so that was heck of a lot of fun for a lot of reasons. So, welcome back, Laura's Noot Bar.

Pottymouth 20:33
Can we on Newt when we're in St. Louis?

Patti 20:35
I intend to,

Pottymouth 20:36
yay.

Patti 20:37
So it's gonna be tricky for me, because I can throw a play at the Orioles. So, I mean, I do have my.. I just hope Laura's a Noot Bar Has Fun T-shirt, but I'm gonna.. oh, need to wrap my.. that's

Pottymouth 20:46
yeah..

Patti 20:46
but maybe I'll wear it around town.

Pottymouth 20:48
That's perfect, I think. Right,

Patti 20:50
Matt Chapman was my 2020 boyfriend back when he played for Oakland, back when the team was Oakland. So, he just completed a bingo card. So, Friday you play for San Francisco. Now, Friday, they were playing at Wrigley. They were playing the Cubs. He had a Grand Slam and a three run home run in the end game, and a sac fly in the same game. He had eight RBI in the same game. So, that, of course, is, you know, not the biggest record in the world, but it's what's way up. So, that's a good.. it's pretty cool. It's a

Pottymouth 21:19
good day. The farther down

Patti 21:20
in the story, I got to the part that I really liked that completed his set of hitting a home run in every major league baseball park, every ballpark. He

Pottymouth 21:30
said

Patti 21:31
I got Sacramento and AAA, so we'll count it, but this was my last one, so that's cool.

Pottymouth 21:36
That's excellent. I

Patti 21:37
was amused,

Pottymouth 21:38
and I'm guessing that he must have hit some in Oakland, when,

Patti 21:41
yeah, it's one of those things. Well, you know, I can check Oakland off my list, because I was there a couple of times, but I haven't been to the Sacramento one. Does it count as where the athletics play, or no? Because it's not an active ballpark. It see, the math is weird to try to knock off ballparks,

Pottymouth 21:56
and there's only a little time to get Sacramento in, actually, before they moved to, well, who knows how construction was going, but

Patti 22:03
anyway.

Pottymouth 22:03
All right, I have a former boyfriend to talk about this week, Josh Rojas, who I picked in 2022 when he was with the D-backs. He is now with the Royals, but barely. He signed a minor league contract with the Royals this year, and he was playing with AAA Omaha Storm. He had his hard time last year, got that minor league contract this year, not too old, but he's been around for a bit. On june 4, he played an 1105 Eastern Standard Time game in Columbus, Ohio, with the Storm, and he went one for three with a double. He was pulled out of the game in the fifth inning because he got called up. He got called up for a game that was happening that night, 6:40pm central time, at the Twins. The Royals were at the Twins, so he actually gets this extra hour of travel time because of the time zones, because he's going from Eastern time to Central time. So, I don't know, do the math, it should work out, but he missed his flight, it was like that close, so he had to hang out in the airport for four hours, which is always a good thing to do before you're about to play another game. He got on an 8o'clock pm Eastern Standard Time flight, which is 7o'clock Central Time. Meanwhile, so after the game was supposed to start, he got on the flight exactly, exactly, but there was a one hour seven minute rain delay in the middle of the sixth inning in Minnesota, so we have a time change and a rain delay working in his favor, plus an extended game that was tied up in the

Patti 23:32
SAT question,

Pottymouth 23:33
is totally should be right if you're traveling in a plane however many miles an hour, it really should be, and I think people would appreciate that. In the middle of a long mass testimony interrupted you. Okay, so Ray LA, yeah, Ty game the top of the ninth, he gets there in time, pinch hits with the bases loaded in the top of the ninth, and ends up getting the game winning. There was an article in the Kansas City, right. So he started that day in Columbus, Ohio, in a minor league ballpark with a hit, and ended that night in Minnesota, winning the game for the Royals. There's a great article in the Kansas City Star where it's unclear, and I don't know if anyone's done more research, but they couldn't find anyone who had had a minor league and a major league hit in the same day for the same organization, that's a lot of stats,

Patti 24:30
I think, probably no before you even get to that for the same organization.

Pottymouth 24:35
Yeah, so there were people who had played in a game, both minor and major, in the same day, but not hit in both,

Patti 24:41
right? That's wow, that's a fun one. I would never miss figure that out. Yeah, all right. So, Sunday had a great time. I had the Pride in the morning, I was in a good mood. I go home, I start watching the Orioles Toronto game. The Orioles have a nice lead, everybody's. Playing well, pitcher is doing great. It's a beautiful thing. And then this thing happens. Did you see the thing?

Pottymouth 25:06
I didn't see the thing. I have no idea what this thing

Patti 25:09
is. The thing is the reason why the word base path blew up Google on Sunday.

Pottymouth 25:15
Wow,

Patti 25:15
so Ernie Clement is running

Pottymouth 25:18
one of my favorite hockey players.

Patti 25:19
I love Ernie Clements, and on all the sports, I love him. He plays for Toronto. He's running from first to second. Gunner Henderson gets the ball, stretches his arm out to tag Ernie. Ernie runs way the hell around him, like in, outside of the

Pottymouth 25:37
base bag.

Patti 25:37
Oh, way the hell outside, like Gunner Henderson is over six feet tall, his wingspan, right, yeah, like one arm is like three feet long, right. And so, yes, so we'll get to definitions in a second. That's what Ernie went all the way around, and so Gunner then ignores him and throws to first to get the run around at first, because it's a double play, because when you go out of the base path, you're out, yeah, right, double play. We know the second base umpire said no, he's fine, he's safe. The

Pottymouth 26:03
umpire did. The

Patti 26:04
umpire, second base umpire said it's fine.

Pottymouth 26:07
Was he wearing his glasses?

Patti 26:08
Was he taking bribes? I, I don't know.

Pottymouth 26:12
Did could they do the no.

Patti 26:13
See, here's, here's the biggest problem, as far as I'm concerned, is for some reason these base path calls are not reviewable. Why not? How do you decide it's not reviewable? Because here's the thing, if a runner gets out of the way to clear the way for the defense to field the ball, they've basically created their new base path, so they're not out of the base path, that's a new base path, that way they're not in the way of somebody fielding the ball,

Pottymouth 26:42
but he had the ball, is what you're saying.

Patti 26:44
Yes, and on a review, they would have seen that Gunner was already fielding the ball and had actively tried to chase Ernie, and has said since, what was I supposed to do, chase him into center field or right field, or whatever it was, right? You know, so here are the things

Pottymouth 27:01
did it end up making them lose the game.

Patti 27:03
Everything went wrong, everything went wrong, everything went wrong. So Sean Bass, Shawn Bass was the pitcher, and he was so livid he couldn't concentrate. Albie left him in. They scored four runs.

Pottymouth 27:19
Yeah,

Patti 27:20
like it would have been an ending, an inning-ending double play,

Pottymouth 27:23
that's the key, right? The Orioles would have ended

Patti 27:25
the inning with a four one lead.

Pottymouth 27:27
Yeah,

Patti 27:27
they ended it behind five four, and the other thing that happened was Sam Will Basilio is playing catcher, Andre Simena's also somebody who I love, yeah, go sliding into home base completely unintentionally, besides arm is out, oh, his arm gets twisted badly, and he gets taken out of the game. Haven't heard a report late, like he actually finished the inning, and then when he was in the batter's box on deck, he was like, I can't swing the bat, and they pulled him out, so they had, like, Sam Hoff, like the third string catcher, so it all went to hell, right now. Granted, a different pitcher, or if Bass had a shit together, maybe those other guys wouldn't have gone on base and score, so there's that. But you cannot deny that that call

Pottymouth 28:16
right

Patti 28:17
had an effect on the game. At the end of the game,

Pottymouth 28:20
that sucks. At

Patti 28:20
the end of the game, at the top of the ninth, Jackson Holiday hits the ball. He's running to first base, and first baseman Vladdy is going to try to tag him out, so Jackson runs around him, because clearly there are no right, and he gets on base, and he's called out immediately by the by the don't play umpire, and Albie's like, "Nope, you can't say that's not allowed if you allow that. Like, he's pointing, he's like, "If that's okay, this is okay. We're like, "No, no, it's not. Yeah, and you know, Holiday was legitimately out, but there's the equity thing, it's like that was okay,

Pottymouth 28:57
right?

Patti 28:57
And we've all seen it, so I really had a good time reading all the different write-ups on this. Yeah,

Pottymouth 29:03
I can imagine.

Patti 29:04
And it's absolutely.. where do you live? Who wrote this? Like the Canadian, the Canadian Sports Network.

Pottymouth 29:11
Yeah,

Patti 29:11
their write-up was absolutely.. oh, it was absolutely the right call. It was perfect. It was a tough thing to make, but absolutely. He, you know, he was just getting out of the way. It's all good. And Baltimore's like Clark is bullshit, and those people in between, and honestly, like on the replay, it's like, okay, Gunner has the ball, he's already feel is fielding the ball before Clement is running around him. The home plate umpire, the crew chief is saying earning Clement was being gentlemanly by getting no, he's getting away with what he can get away with. How

Pottymouth 29:39
Canadian of you to get out of the way, gentlemanly. How

Patti 29:42
did this not clear the benches towards the umpire?

Pottymouth 29:46
Yeah, I'm

Patti 29:48
not mad at any of the players. I am livid at the second base umpire. Anyway, that's my rant. But the bottom line is, how is this not reviewable, and how do you decide what plays can. Be reviewed, and not what, why, because on like, if they could have reviewed that, it would have been overturned.

Pottymouth 30:05
Shit,

Patti 30:05
that's my story. I'm sticking with it. I

Pottymouth 30:07
get, you know, I had a cranky thing from the weekend. The Red Sox played the Yankees, and each team won one game, because the Saturday game was rained out. Saturday game was rained out, you would think that they would do a double header on Sunday.

Patti 30:20
I was looking for that, actually. So, saw that had been rained out.

Pottymouth 30:22
Yeah, so they decided to have the double header at the end of August. You know why? Why, Aaron Judge is my guess, is mr. Potty Mouse guess, actually. Yeah, so they would rather have the double header because it was played in New York, so New York gets to schedule. So New

Patti 30:35
York schedules the league, doesn't. I

Pottymouth 30:36
don't know, it's just somebody either, but it's very suspect. It's so, but you know, right now I'm gonna, I'm going to harsh on a team that's not the Yankees for a change. Well, actually, this, you know, it's Pride month, we're celebrating Pride, so it's the time to harsh on the Rangers, because they're still, and every fucking year that we've done this podcast, we've had to say this. Actually, there were a while where the Yankees weren't doing Pride month because of their like, we don't do any special stuff, and now they've started doing special stuff, including Pride, which they kind of creeped into, but the Rangers are just, you know, putting in their heels, and they are the only team without a pride night, to make matters worse, they decided to move their quote faith and family night, which they had last year in September, to June. So their faith and family night is going to be on June 18 with personal testimonies from Rangers players Wyatt Langford, Josh Young, Cody Bradford, Jacob Lats, Jalen Beeks, and others sharing how faith impacts their lives both on and off the field. I have a lot of questions. There are a lot of teams. This faith and family thing seems to be getting more popular, and I know there are different cultural celebration nights, so if there's, you know, a Jewish heritage night, there should be a Christian heritage night. That makes sense.

Patti 32:08
They're calling it faith and family, right? Christian,

Pottymouth 32:11
right? Exactly. And the testament, the personal testimony part is the part where I'm wondering, are we crossing some sort of line here where the actual team is sort of like proselytizing a certain, and if you look, well, actually, I'm going to talk about the Tigers in a second, but their statements, I'm not sure if that belongs on the ball, so here after, I don't know,

Patti 32:35
right, that you know, we, that I would love someone to find out, for me, yeah, one is, what does faith include?

Pottymouth 32:41
Yes, is it

Patti 32:41
in fact Christian Heritage Night?

Pottymouth 32:44
Right,

Patti 32:44
I mean, there is Jewish Heritage Night. Sure, there are other things, but is it really is it faith or is it Christian faith? What I've noticed in the past, I mean, it makes me itchy, generally itchy, but it's been separated from the games, right? They've been doing things like after the games, it's not like we're showing the guys as Star Wars characters, yeah, it's not like integrated into the game play. So I feel better about that. I really don't like moving it to June. That was clearly a political decision.

Pottymouth 33:14
Absolutely, I

Patti 33:15
am not okay with that. So you know, my bias is I'd rather, you know, keep out of baseball, but if it's inclusive and it's separate from the game, if it's inclusive, sure.

Pottymouth 33:26
And you know, as a Jewish person, I'm honestly not so keen on Jewish Heritage Night. I don't think that religion.. I think we're getting very murky here. Does anybody have a Muslim Heritage Night? I don't think so. And if they did, God, the backlash would be horrific, so why don't we just stay away for that, or have Faith Night really be all faith? Yes,

Patti 33:47
that's it, right? Yeah, Faith Night is inclusive. I have many fewer problems with this. Yeah,

Pottymouth 33:51
so at least 15 teams, including the Houston Astros, in the same state as the Rangers, have both a Pride Night and a version of a faith and family night. The only other team that has it in June is the Tigers, and we're going to add a link here, because theirs is really interesting. It seems to be promoted by this organization. It has former and present Tigers who are doing the same thing as the Rangers are doing, and giving their personal testimonies very religiously, religiously, and I just, especially in June, I just don't think it belongs there. And then, so, here's, here's the absolute kicker. So, not happy with the Rangers having this in June, not happy with the Tigers having this in June, not happy with specific faiths in general, this is me speaking. If you go to mob.com because I looked up, like, Texas Pride, the Rangers have pride merch on mob.com

Patti 34:51
They're doing the rainbow capitalism, but not actually doing this out loud.

Pottymouth 34:56
Horrible. Yeah, and I like double-checked, I mean. You're gonna have to check the link, but I was like, what the fuck, they've got a

Patti 35:05
profit off of this if they're gonna be, oh

Pottymouth 35:09
right,

Patti 35:09
oh no.

Pottymouth 35:10
So, you know who's not wearing a rainbow hat is Blake Trinin for the Dodgers. So, Dodgers had their Pride night on Friday, Blake Trinin came in, and all, and what I love and appreciate about them is that players were all wearing the pride hats, the rainbow hats. Blake Trinin came in for the last out of ninth, no pride hat last year. Clayton Kershaw wore his, but and we talked about this last year, he added a Bible verse emphasizing that the rainbow belongs to God, like it's not a pride thing,

Patti 35:38
we're just renting

Pottymouth 35:39
it, I guess. So, notably, in 2023 both Blake Trying and Clayton Kershaw spoke out against the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, who did the Pride thing, and these are nuns, drag nuns, basically, right, who were part of the celebration, you know, happily being part of Pride Night, and they had issues with that. There were some reports that referred to Alex Call during the same thing, but I couldn't verify it. But yay for the Dodgers overall, like this Blake Trinin issue is a problem. Clayton Kershaw is not there anymore, but the Dodgers honored Glenn Burke and Billy Bean with a permanent, permanent display that was unveiled before the game, so Pride is going to be a year-round thing in Dodger Stadium, where they're honoring some heroes who broke barriers and are important for both Dodgers and MLB history,

Patti 36:32
and their families were there for the unveiling. It was, they did a whole ceremony for it, they made it a real thing. It's very cool.

Pottymouth 36:37
That is a really cool thing.

Patti 36:39
All right, I'm gonna just dabble in labor this week. There's a lot to read the economic proposals that were made last week. We've talked about them already a little bit. The things that are new are one of the things that I read about, well, you know, salary caps. All the other major leagues have salary caps, and it was pointed out, it's like, well, you know what, the, the, the MLB PA, the baseball union is really much stronger

Pottymouth 37:09
than the

Patti 37:09
other major sports leagues, so maybe that's the reason that they all have salary caps and baseball does not, that is a lead in to be, guess who, guess who, the fascist in chief has weighed in on salary caps, because there's

Pottymouth 37:23
nothing better to do, right? He's on

Patti 37:25
Air Force One, he has a captive audience, but apparently he needs to, he needed to have it explained to him what a salary cap is. But then he was the expert. Yeah, I want to give you this quote because I just makes me scratch my head and wonder, how is this still happening? So after he was explaining to him what a salary cap is, he said, "If you don't have a salary cap, you don't have a sport, because they can't help themselves in sports, they can't help themselves. Football has a salary cap, they should have done it a long time ago. I know so much about sports, they should have done it a long time ago. End quote. What the heck does any of that mean I don't know, I don't know, but why not stir the pot, because you can, and you're building a frickin' cage on those South Lawn.

Pottymouth 38:06
Yeah, I mean, he rarely makes any sense, at least those seem to be complete sentences, even though they're nonsensical complete sentences. But holy fuck, like, you know, I'm there's so many things wrong with everything he says. That

Patti 38:17
yeah, later tonight we're recording on Monday, game three of the NBA finals, the President has announced he's going to the Knicks game, and everyone has said you need to stay away, but we're just going to boo you, and here are things that are happening. Okay, already ticket prices are through the fricking roof, even at the frickin roof, in the rafters, in the nosebleeds, there's still 1000s of dollar tickets, and because the president is going, everyone's got to wait for two hours to get through security, so he's like ruined it for everybody, so it's going to be ugly, it's going to be a mess. Yeah, there's

Pottymouth 38:52
no bags whatsoever.

Patti 38:53
Oh, I didn't even see that it's going to be like inconvenient and bad for everybody. I hope they boo him. Also, our hero Mondani has purchased his $1,000 nose bleed ticket. Actually, no, no, it's a standing room only ticket.

Pottymouth 39:07
Wow, he's like, yeah, I'm

Patti 39:08
standing the whole game because that's that's the ticket that I bought, pay my own, pay my own way. I'm going to the game, you know, support the team. I would be standing,

Pottymouth 39:16
love to see the reaction of the crowd if each one of them gets put on the Jumbotron, or whatever, big screen trademark, something like, yeah, I would love to see the dichotomy there, because I have a feeling that one way over the other is going to be more popular. I can't

Patti 39:29
remember who did it now, but someone did a breakdown based on surveys and registrations, public records on what sports lean the most blue or the most red.

Pottymouth 39:39
Basketball,

Patti 39:40
basketball definitely leaves very blue, although there's predictions that because ticket prices are so high that may skew who's in the audience for game three. Guess what, the top blue sport is. I would have lost so much money on this if I believe in sports betting.

Pottymouth 39:56
The top blue sport and. It's not basketball. I would have guessed basketball,

Patti 40:03
tennis.

Pottymouth 40:05
No money, sport,

Patti 40:09
and I don't think they didn't break out like among the leagues. I don't think they broke out like women's leagues and men's leagues. I got lots of bones to pick, but I was very amused. That's bizarre. Baseball is only, it's like the low, it's like on the red side, but just barely. I thought it would be much farther, so I'm quite interested. I will try to find this in a link too, just because it's just hilarious to look at. Anyway, can't wait to see what happens later tonight at game three.

Pottymouth 40:36
Absolutely, you know, with this segue, I should have picked soccer, because I'm going into FIFA. Those of you from Massachusetts will appreciate this joke more than anybody else, but I'm going to call it a FIFA nutter. You know what? If fluff, yeah, so that's only math hung out with you in a mess. If you haven't had a fluff and nutta, you got to try it. You know, marshmallow fluff made in summer, Massachusetts. I can, so no, no, really. So, fluff is actually vegetarian, the stuff. So, the marshmallow, if you're going to roast a marshmallow, you have to be careful if you're vegetarian, because most of it has gelatin in it. The gelatin holds the marshmallow together, so if you just have a vat of fluff, spreadable marshmallow, it doesn't need to hold it, doesn't need to hold together. So, it is actually vegan, and I am happily eating fluff and utters. Wow, the things you learn on this podcast, folks. So, FIFA has become a FIFA nutter. If you remember, I think it was just last week I was talking about the teachers striking and protesting around the FIFA games in Mexico because they want their pensions. I feel you, teachers, because I'm about to get my pension, and it is a big deal. I feel much more at peace because I have one, so I don't blame these teachers. They have gotten serious, though. The big plaza, where they're having the fan fest, had these massive statues that the teachers have toppled over and spray painted on in protest. I can't imagine my local union doing anything to that level, but power to you, Mexican teachers. My

Patti 42:07
question is, how do, like, school teachers have that upper body strength to be able to do that?

Pottymouth 42:12
You know, it's all that writing on the board. There you go, like, yeah, that's gotta.. oh, you're flexing. Yeah, there you go. I've been practicing for 30 years. It turns out, though, that there's more people than just the teachers who are taking this opportunity to protest, because you know where now all eyes are on us and Mexico and Canada for this huge tournament. The families of the disappeared are also protesting, so for those of you who don't clearly follow Mexican politics, and I'm guessing that's a lot of folks, 130,178 Mexicans have disappeared since 2006 disappeared, according to the Mexican newspaper La Jornada. This 130,000 breaks up into three fairly equal size groups, each is 40,000 something. There's one group where the records are incomplete, so maybe they have a name, but not the town of birth or something like that. So, there's a little bit of question about those records. There's another group that there are errors, so the name was entered in the National Registry of the Disappeared, which has occurred because of the massive amount of people who have disappeared, but they've popped up later somewhere, like a marriage certificate or something like that. So that's another 40,000 that maybe aren't actually gone, and then there's at least 40,000 who are just missing, just missing. Who's to blame? Mainly organized crime and drug cartels, and a lot of that get they get away with that because of corruption, especially in local police and local governments that let the drugs flow if there's enough money involved. So the families of the disappeared, and you might remember the this in the 1970s in Argentina, very similar sort of public display of posters and faces of the people who have disappeared for the World Cup. They have created an album of trading cards in the style of the Mexican national team with Mexican team uniforms, but the faces of the disappear. Wow, and they're posting some of these in the area around the fan fest, and they're saying it's to connect all of the football fans, and to give a message that the World Cup isn't bad. It's not bad to celebrate. What's bad is to not name those who are missing, and to stop looking for them. And their big protest is the government's lack of putting enough resources into finding the disappeared, the President Shine Ban says that they're working with the United Nations Human Rights Commission, that they are making moves, but it's clearly not enough. So, because of the World Cup, we get to shine a light on some atrocities that maybe people. Haven't been paying enough attention to, and maybe a little bit more pressure is going to be on the Mexican government to do something to find the people who have disappeared, and of course to clamp down on the horrific drug gang violence that's going on for us situation. We had briefly talked about what's going to happen because of the travel ban, and fans from a lot of countries who aren't going to be allowed into this country. Well, I saw the first report of a problem today. There was a Somali referee who is not allowed entry, so details will probably be coming next week, but this is somebody who is supposed to be reffing games in all three countries, starting to enter in the US now, because you got to get ready for the games that are coming, and wasn't allowed entry, so I'm not quite sure how that is going to trickle down, or how many other referees are from countries under the travel ban, and how much more of this is going to happen,

Patti 45:54
and also I mean, I can't imagine trying to track what the rules are, because as part of the travel ban, they were talking about, well, there'll be like, you know, opportunities for like important sporting events where this won't apply, there'll be exceptions. This seems to be a kind of important sporting event. Yeah, and

Pottymouth 46:16
I believe that the exceptions, the way that it was worded, was really on the teams and the players, because it was that loophole that made them not let Cuban coaches come in for the world baseball class. So I'm guessing that referees aren't covered by that exemption, but who would have thunk it until you get to the fucking airport and you're not allowed, you're not allowed in. So we'll see what's going to happen? I mean, the whole World Cup situation in the US is gotten very depressing, you know, just horribly loss of an opportunity to do something good for the world, and especially so many people who love soccer and can't afford to go, and we talked about how Mamdani, our hero, has made it affordable. Actually, he has a great Instagram thing. If you're not following on Instagram, go there right away. Where he actually called the folks who won that lottery to get cheaper tickets to the World Cup, and there are folks like a sanitation worker and a teacher, and people who are just thrilled who have never been to a World Cup game, and now they have the opportunity because of Mamdani's lottery. Mamdani also is saving everybody's hydration because a week before the World Cup, just a couple days ago, week before the start, FIFA announced a ban on refillable water bottles. Now you know when you go to the stadiums, most major league ballparks and other stadiums, there are those great refillable stations. We bring our little followed up water bottles. It saves the environment. You don't have to pay five bucks or more for each bottle of water, but FIFA announced a ban on refillable waters for quote safety issues. Bullshit. So, there was a huge, like, uproar about it, including Mamdani, who said he was going to talk to them directly? The Toronto Mayor, Olivia Chow, said similar things. The United, the United Kingdom Prime Minister expressed concern, and they reversed course, sort of. It's now vague, so we'll see what happens. Their latest statement is that people can bring in one soft plastic 20 ounce factory sealed disposable water bottle for all US and Canada games. Unclear about Mexico, unclear about just bringing in, like, we have your own refillable plastic bottle. Like, what's the difference there? Yeah, so all of this to be determined, but yay for Zora Mandani, who's saying, I'm going to talk to these folks and explain that we need this hot in here in July, like it's crazy hot, and people can't afford to be spending all that money on water, and you know what happens when you go to the to the concession and you're paying almost as much for water as beers, you're gonna keep drinking beer, and then all hell breaks loose, so I mean, the one sealed bottle, I don't know if it's still the rule, but I think I think that's what ballparks allow you to do, and I get that you can't bring in a refillable metal bottle, absolutely, but they could say you could again, like the roll up plastic bottles, they could give you some leeway, yeah,

Patti 49:22
and even this is, I'm kind of okay with this, like bring in a sealed one, sealed bottle, you can do, then you can, then you exactly, and at least you can buy

Pottymouth 49:29
it for two bucks at Giant, as opposed to, yeah, and it's not

Patti 49:32
like we're not already doing that at ballparks and stadiums, at least here in this country, I don't know what the rules are in other places, but the other thing that we talked about around the World Cup is the New Jersey Transit, the train,

Pottymouth 49:44
oh right,

Patti 49:45
tickets, right? Remember, for at one point they were going to be like $150 and then they went down, like they would kept going back and forth, so they settled at $98 round trip to get you to back basically where the Mets play, it's

Pottymouth 49:57
like 12 or something, like

Patti 49:59
yeah. Yes, $12.90 usually right, to get to MetLife Stadium, right? So they had predicted 40,000 fans per game would be using the trains. Well, they wanted to tell these tickets in advance again, so you don't have all these lines of people, so they, they have like 320,000 tickets available, fewer than 18,000 have been sold,

Pottymouth 50:24
right?

Patti 50:24
Because people are like, well, what the fuck,

Pottymouth 50:26
right?

Patti 50:26
I'll find another way. So New York is trying to create other ways, and the host committee actually has organized shuttle busses to bring people back and forth, and when they're not in use for schools, even school busses, wow, are going to be like part of this, you know, this this method of getting people back and forth to the games for $20 for $20 excellent. They have sold 32,000 of those so far, which is, you know, almost not quite twice what they've sold of the super expensive train tickets,

Pottymouth 51:00
that's crazy, because you know you want to keep people off the roads, like the train keeps people off the roads,

Patti 51:08
people on the trains, but they want to like turn them upside down and shake all the money in their pockets, and then put them on the train, yeah, so they can't afford the water, yeah,

Pottymouth 51:14
sure, if you can pay $1,000 for a ticket to get into the stadium, what's another 100 bucks?

Patti 51:18
It's just,

Pottymouth 51:20
yeah,

Patti 51:20
it's just so wrong.

Pottymouth 51:22
Oh boy, capitalism at its finest. Oh,

Patti 51:24
wait, the other thing, which reminded me, speaking of capitalism at its finest, the Knicks game, because the president is there, you know how usually, if there's a big deal game, the venue will put screens outside, so the people who can't afford $10,000 for a seat can watch outside. No, because that's not safe. So, no screens, no crowds outside of Madison Square Garden, because there's fricking fascist in chief. This has to go sit inside and watch. I just hope he

Pottymouth 51:50
gets booed so badly that Fox News can't edit it out.

Patti 51:53
That would be awesome. Hey, we have this fantasy TV.

Pottymouth 51:55
Thank you, guys.

Patti 51:56
That's really fun, and things just keep happening. Okay, so this week..

Pottymouth 52:01
Oh, I don't know, this week

Patti 52:02
All-Cobout 112 jumped two places from fourth to second. Wow, so try it in some tap rooms to still hold on number one, but All Star Cobalt's right on their heels. Push down Bono's Boyfriends and Karen's crew to three and four, Wicked Awesome hanging in there at five. Can I just say, so Slitty Slammers is still ahead of me, six, I'm now down to seven.

Pottymouth 52:22
Look where I am. McLean

Patti 52:23
mean pitching machine has jumped over potty mouth, and there I am. And then there you are in the basement, all by myself in the basement in my

Pottymouth 52:31
Red Sox pictures. It's

Patti 52:33
yeah, well, I mean pitching. I think I think both of us would be doing so much better if we had pictures. There we go. Maybe I

Pottymouth 52:40
need to look at my lineup every day, too. I don't know,

Patti 52:42
it's yes, we have nothing, nothing. It is, but you have fun things coming up, and I have fun things coming up.

Pottymouth 52:49
Oh, right. So, what's coming up this week? Actually, I'm going into Geezer graduation tomorrow night, which I'm amused by. So, because I'm retiring, we, they have a ceremony tomorrow night for us retirees, and some friends of mine who went to it last year said it's like geezer graduation, because, like, your name gets called and you cross the stage and you get your little diploma, and I guess we don't get gowns, but that made me realize, fuck, I have nothing to wear, so I just put in laundry, and I'm gonna hang that up right letter about that. Thank you

Patti 53:16
for sharing that news.

Pottymouth 53:17
Yeah, but then after Geezer graduation, I'm going to New York City on Friday. I'm taking half a day off my four and a half hours left of personal leave that I have in all of my stock, and I'm going to Pride Night at the Cyclones with my kid and a bunch of their buddies, and then one of their buddies' parents, and it better not rain, and hopefully it'll be lots of rainbow and lots of fun.
