A Practical Thing to Knock on When the Knocking Gets Tough
Yeah, well, our teams killed each other’s streaks so we’re moving on to the trade deadline.While the Mead/Early trade got things kicked off, the big target is Skubal. Grady and the Rays set a record for a HS draft pick, but sometimes a water gun will do. Salvy sets a Royals franchise record, Kaz sets a Japanese rookie record, and Drake does his job. Pottymouth talks about Caleb like Patti talked PCA last year. José goes to Broadway, Pookie and Kiké did not go to the White House. Johan Sandoval talks about his very real ICE arrest because of paperwork. The US Women roll through the Women’s Baseball World Cup group round. And Tori Penso, one of six women referees in the just-concluded Men’s World Cup reminds girls and women to “‘Put your shoulders up. Take up space. Own the moment.’”
We say, “He put his face on a can of beer and now I’m going to drink that can of beer.” “It’s already a little f*c&ed an then it’ll be a lot f*c&ed,” and, “Nick Kurtz, Nick hurts, Nick not hurts?” Fight the man, go see some live baseball, send your game balls to Meredith, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
