Wild Boars, WAR, and A*&hole of the Year Award
In the first episode of the new year, we bestow our very first A*&hole of the year award to Domingo Germán, who earned the league’s longest suspension for violation of the domestic abuse policy for a player not formally charged. The Yankees clean house in training and conditioning and Pottymouth introduces us to Jazzmine Rivera, the first Hispanic woman to play collegiate baseball. Patti explains WAR, and what it is good for (absolutely something). All this, and Patti tries to roll a few Rs, and Pottymouth goads her into swearing.
In the first episode of the new year, we bestow our very first A*&hole of the year award to Domingo Germán, who earned the league’s longest suspension for violation of the domestic abuse policy for a player not formally charged. The Yankees clean house in training and conditioning and make us wonder just how good the 103 game-winning team will be without a record number of player injuries. On a related note, wild boars have joined suitcases and drones on the list of causes of preventable player injuries. Our White Sox boyfriends include this year’s Eloy Jimenez, Luis Robert, as well as last year’s Eloy Jimenez, Eloy Jimenez. For the Giants, Pottymouth could not choose anyone other than Mike Yaztrzemski, and Patti predictably selects the next Buster Posey, Joey Bart. Pottymouth introduces us to Jazzmine Rivera, the first Hispanic woman to play collegiate baseball. Patti explains WAR, and what it is good for (absolutely something). There’s still time to catch Winter ball. All this, and Patti tries to roll a few Rs, and Pottymouth goads her into swearing.
