No Crying In Baseball

Whatever it was, we got on it for this week’s snack-size episode. It may be short, but we still work in Big Sexy hitting a homerun in a celebrity softball game in Cancún. Yeah, Baseball United decamped to another sunny spot because of that pesky war situation closer to home. Anyway, we’ve got boyfriends current and past lighting up awards season – and we are especially happy with our current crop in this year’s Silver Slugger nominations. Patti is especially ticked to add “he’s such a good guy” Anthony Santander to the no-fly ex-boyfriend list for his post-election islamophobic social media posts. There’s a quick hot stove vocabulary reminder with Super 2s and qualifying offers this week. The League thinks pushing a salary cap until next year makes it more palatable to players in line to have their earnings limited – yeah, it’s not. But don’t worry, Pottymouth has all the details on how to watch winter ball in the long dark lock out months ahead. Follow along to get LVBP, LIDOM, and La Pro. And we crosstrain with hockey, at least as far as our show beers are concerned.

We say, “Frickin’ capitalism, I’m just saying,” “Didn’t we smash fascism last week?” and “I didn’t mean to say funny money, I’m just slurring.” Fight the man, go see some live sports, send your game balls to Meredith, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
