Mother’s Day, Mimosas, and Monsoons
Patti and the Pottymouth get a little weepy over Mother’s Day. We start with laying out the rumored plan for bringing back MLB, and poke it full of holes like a biobubble over a spring training facility. Moving on the our current love, the CPBL, we discuss how Taiwan has earned getting baseball back. For the second and final rant of the episode, we review the probable repercussions of reducing the MLB draft from 40 to only 5 rounds.
Patti and the Pottymouth get a little weepy over Mother’s Day. Pottymouth over the CPBL mascot-themed card drawn by her artist daughter, and Patti for clean gutters, many mimosas, and Adley Rutschman.
We start with laying out the rumored plan for bringing back MLB, and poke it full of holes like a biobubble over a spring training facility. We wave some flags about the presumed demise of the minor leagues, and go just the way you would think about owners wanting to cut player salaries even more.
Moving on the our current love, the CPBL, we discuss how Taiwan has earned getting baseball back, and as of this week, players in the stands (under very strict guidelines). Monkeys continue to rule, but the Lions remain within reach. The mascots continue to show us their dance moves and their public health messages, and from commentators we’ve learned about the monsoon season break, nicknames like Dimple Cannon and Hollywood, and the fact that demands followup -- cheerleaders can be traded.
The KBO hasn’t grabbed us yet, and that sits squarely on the shoulders of ESPN. We prefer our commentators in the park and of the community, thank you very much. But ESPN did give us the gift of Eric Thames during the Opening Day rain delay, and the Trevor Bauer phone number debacle which @BauerOutage played perfectly. Pottymouth’s Dinos look great, Patti’s Wyverns can see them from a distance.
For the second and final rant of the episode, we review the probable repercussions of reducing the MLB draft from 40 to only 5 rounds. We told you. We warned you, Don’t look so shocked. It’s not a good time to be a young ballplayer, especially without independent means. The Turn a Pair podcast did excellent work showing what players we would have missed had there only been five rounds in their draft years
