In which we get the episode number right but say Padres when we mean Pirates and George when we mean Gregory. Welcome to the off-season.

Patti provides helpful career advice to Pottymouth by comparing job postings for favorite mascots. 

We profile our new Orioles boyfriends, Pedro Severino and Anthony Santander, who we hear is very big in the UK. Just to stir things up, Pottymouth gives up her volatile Pirates boyfriends of the past to select Bryan Reynolds, complete with a fishing with Dad story, while Patti takes a page from her book and chooses injury-laden, but so close to great Gregory “El Coffee” Polanco, but continually calls him “george” for no apparent reason. New Pirates manager, Derek Shelton, has arrived with universal approval and high hopes.

Pottymouth notes that our former boyfriends Tommy Pham and Jurickson Profar are headed to San Diego, which may give us a new team to love. And yet we tarnish it with outside words. The way we do.

Not that we’re keeping score, but Patti wins another point. This one for a boyfriend winning an award she didn’t know existed for a position she doesn’t believe in. Nelson Cruz is the 2019 winner of the Edgar Martinez Outstanding DH award.

Addison Frickin’ Russell has been non-tendered. The People do not want him, we’ll see if front offices agree.

A Bi-partisan congressional task force to “Save Minor League Baseball” formed to warn the MLB that they are watching the negotiations with MiLB and are ready to smack them down with legislative “solutions” if the plan to gut the Minors proceeds. Bernie Sanders tries to sell Rob Manfred on his plan for universal baseball. Sort of.

Pottymouth is dismayed by the inappropriate and puzzling uses of “Woo” and Mr. Happy in the Red Sox farm system. But not so much that she can’t provide you with the following guide to watching Winter Baseball, including her picks for each league’s winning team:
