The return of the Joe Kelly Fight Club puts Pottymouth in the excellent company of Dusty Baker. Dave Roberts thinks we’ve got that whole Astros cheating thing out of our system now so Alex Bregman’s head should be safe from here on out.  Patti believes Joe laid the groundwork for his defense with his video of a wild pitch breaking a window in his home.

There’s actual good news to report this week with BabyTrout and a swath of young baseball boyfriends making their presence known. Luis Robert and Eloy Jiminez are lighting up the White Sox. Evan White makes a defensive difference immediately on the Mariners, Carter Kieboom is named player of the game last week, and Os BFs Santander and Severino hit back to back homers.  Please call up Joey Bart.

The league still hasn’t shut down despite COVID-19 outbreaks on both the Marlins and the Cardinals, and 18 postponed games so far. Patti tries to make “Capital Jays” stick.  LoCain and Isan Díaz opt out and Nick Markakis opts back in. WTF? And Cespedes may or may not have opted out just by skipping town. Rob Manfred announces he is not a quitter, which should make us all feel better continuing the season, but all teams aren’t as responsible as the Cubs seem to be.

The start of hockey and basketball gives us plenty of opportunity to see both symbols and protests, and some poking of holes.  Yes, you can kneel in skates on the ice. That’s not a thing. Pottymouth recommends some crosstraining with the WNBA with an article by Sue Bird and Nneka Ogwumike, and also a closer examination of MLB’s attempts at unity by Bradford William Davis. On a lighter crosstraining note, TJ Oshie, the Washington Capital loved by all moms everywhere, interacts with invisible fans to not mess with a ritual.As always, international baseball.  Get up and watch.
