    Disco, but in a Good Way

    It's the episode you didn’t know you needed.  Patti and the Pottymouth review all eight new City Connect uniforms at one time. A+ for Baltimore and San Diego, who are both two for two (if we round up). The Os design leans hard into what makes Camden Yards great and an understanding of the importance of neighborhood. The Pads celebrate their bi-national city by embracing multiple cultures as well as the history of the team and the city, and inviting you to do the same. Many of the new looks have their charms but we’re not sold – with the caveat that if we were *from* those places we might feel differently. Cincinnati went with the thought that folks might wear 1.0 and 2.0 in the same Christmas card photo so they should go together.  Pottymouth points out that if they are going to call back to the vests, just give us the vests. The Atlanta blue is a terrific throwback but they lost us with honoring a cable station. Patti likes the MIL grill logo cap and Pottymouth likes the colors, but tell us the truth, is “Wisco” a thing? We are thumbs up on the Royals whether you call the colors bi-pride or fuschia, and the white and throwback R are working for us. We are mixed on the wavy crown. We like that PIT went pirate-y, but did they go Pittsburgh-y? TEX gets the fail by basically incorporating All Lives Matter into jersey form.  We’re all the same!  In boyfriend news, the C’s are both raking and staying awake. Ronny walks it off, Drake is raking, and Cam gets called up to Patti’s team. Miggy Ro and the Lowes are playing through loss. Ichiro’s record and his bat were broken in the same week. The PWHL sells out another Garden, and Boston is embracing the Fleet in all the best ways. We say, “Bring back the biceps,” “less catching of the aforementioned f&*ing ball,” and “I love sportsing.” Fight the man, go see some live baseball, send your game balls to Meredith,, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

    Maybelle Blair Brought Out the Sun

    Drake Baldwin got mentioned in the same sentence as Henry Aaron, and Pottymouth invited Justin Crawford’s mom for vegan cheesesteaks. Carter overslept, Matt got salty, and Chase got the singalong started. We didn’t call it Police Blotter, but Jo robbed three home runs in one game. There’s a Boston Archdiocese smackdown over corned beef and Fenway Franks, while in New York the PWHL is selling out the Garden. We check in on the ABS challenge system and look forward to next year’s Women’s Baseball World Cup. And we keep adding tabs to the Epic Road Trip Google Sheet. We say, “We’re out of opening days,” “Obama’s basketball court,” and “It tastes as smokey as I sound.” Fight the man, go see some live baseball, send your game balls to Meredith,, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

    Bad at Math, Good at Superstition

    Join us as we try not to overreact to the small sample size that is Opening Weekend. The kids are definitely alright – rookie BFs Sal, Justin, Chase, and JJ are doing us proud. Dom hits a grand slam that hits especially hard, and Freddie hugs it out. The police blotter features LAD making a bad decision in fan relations, mom and dad making some allegedly bad decisions in money management, the CWS deciding not to consult with Frank, and the mayor of Cincinnati deciding to skip town on Opening Day and turn an overcrowding situation into ammunition. There are more Opening Days world-wide, and international baseball features some former bfs. The Fun Cup is back and we’re all for the Worms. We’re making plans for ballpark food for the epic road trip. Send us your recommendations! We say, “We get you, Mom Wetherholt,” “Whatever you order, get two,” and “I like that you round up on Seder.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

    A Labor of Love

    Welcome to the 10th season of No Crying in Baseball! We appreciate those of you who have been with us since the beginning, those we’ve collected along the way, and we welcome you who are just joining in. It’s also the week of our favorite national holiday, Opening Day.  That means it is time for our terrible predictions. You will see no bias for or against any particular teams as we give you our best guesses as to pennants and the post season, as well as the major awards. The prediction we do almost always get right is our pick for teams that are fun to watch. Pottymouth picked the As for the AL as “young kids in Sacramento who DGAF” while Patti says the Royals for Team Italy plus Bobby.  We agree on SD for the NL fun team for WBC joy plus the addition of Nick Castellanos, or as we say, the guy with two buttons undone but it feels like more. Pottymouth celebrates her successful, not at all terrible, prediction of Venezuela taking the WBC, and provides a wrap on the tournament. Patti preps you for the new MLB season with a taste of the new rules being tested in the minors this season, with a side of geometry. The league gets further into bed with sports gambling, this time with an added layer of Facist in Chief, Jr. The WPBL visits Fenway South, the WNBA’s new CBA provides a major salary correction, and you too can own some WBC history. This episode was powered by the Day After Chachos, where tastes are actually shots and cause bad math to happen.  Order yours here. We say, “I distracted you with facism again,” “This is actually a good pick based on research not just on Chachos,” and “It does just take a little while of having a rule to figure out the work-arounds.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

    Not Just the Espresso Boys

    We love the WBC so much and it’s not just for the espresso shot cellies or the hair that goes poof when a batting helmet comes off, but it could be. We are dismayed at the military overtones that Team USA embraces, and are pretty peeved about a specific Navy Seal brought in to the clubhouse to hype up the guys. On the other hand the young guys are fun to watch. We love the DR spirit – take a look at this Player’s Tribune piece by Tatis, Jr. After that Team Venezuela upset Patti is feeling good about that Wilyer Abreu pick. We are almost at Opening Day so we’ve got our fantasy starting lineups selected from weeks of boyfriend selections, plus our pitching flocks – BOS for Pottymouth and DET for Patti. Eugenio Suarez tells the Cincinnati Enquirer about some immigration realities and the Reds seem to be proactive in protecting their players.  Anyone else?  And there’s some World Cup cross training that raises more questions than it answers. We say, “there’s fun before bedtime,” “I keep saying the word ‘scrappy’ in my head,” and “We will be the first to say I told you so and f*(# off.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

    So Much Sportswatching

    The World Baseball Classic is testing the limits of our attention spans and our channel surfing. We are loving the father-son stories, the espresso shots, the real estate agents, the moms and high school kids, and all the Kims, and are wondering where the politics went. In our last boyfriend week, we bring you our picks for the Blue Jays and the Brewers. We found two more kids who wanted their dads to play for TOR, one wanting to stay and one picking them first among 30. For MIL, we look to a former Red Sox and a current Team Canada player. Our police blotter looks at how multiyear contracts may make PEDs worth the risk – is that what Jurickson Profar found? And we crosstrain with the Seattle Rugby Club as they join #rugbyforall to counter USA Rugby’s new transphobic policy. We say “She’s gonna pick a bird,” “the clickah circuit,” and “suck it, Draftkings.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

    A Little More Hubba Bubba

    It’s our second to last boyfriend week of the off-season so we’ve got some Yankees and some Phillies to talk about. For NYY, All signs pointed to Jorbeet in Orbeet for Pottymouth, and how could Patti resist a big man who can fly and cook? Pottymouth dives into a next gen situation for the Phils and Patti follows an unusual, if dope, path to the Show. Harrison Bader signs a food truck and Brooke lobbies for her dad’s spot on the Jays. We crosstrain with some college hoops players to the rescue and a super-iffy World Cup environment. There’s just no way to untangle the politics from the World Baseball Classic so we’re just putting it all out there. And Patti’s Olympic hockey rant almost gets derailed by the dropping of literal bombs, but not quite. Don’t forget to let us know if you want in on the fantasy league or want to meet us in Kansas City! We say, “Who knew the rabbit hole was wide enough for the two of us,” “This is my third Venezuelan in a row,” and “4000% alcohol by volume.” “Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

    Hey New Guy, I don’t Even Know What Team You’re On

    That’s right, spring training games have started and we’re getting alerts about players we don’t know. First though, we’ve got a legit scandal crossed with police blotter and wrapped in labor. Pottymouth is already a man down with her ARI boyfriend heading over to B’more. New boyfriends this week are from SEA and LAD. For the Mariners, Pottymouth picks the army brat who is always prepared, and Patti goes for the Cleveland kid with a shared love of Kenny Lofton. We dug deep for Dodgers, with Pottymouth selecting sexy defense with uncanny timing, and Patti picking the oldest of three brothers from the city of brotherly love. We’re keeping an eye on the barnstorming rumors for the WPBL. We’d like MLB to consider some equity measures in their umpire promotion system, please. Teams are warming up for the WBC as long as they can jump through the travel hoops. And we wrap up with some giveaway swag you might want to get in line for. Finally, your hosts make good on donations to counter the bad behavior of players on teams that matter to us.  Pottymouth donated to Sojourner House and Rosie’s Place for Aroldis Chapman Red Sox saves, and Patti donated to Baltimore Safe Haven in order to root for a US Gold Medal Women’s Hockey team with Britta Curl-Salemme on the roster. You are welcome to join us in these donations if you are so moved. We say, “Forget Disneyworld, Drag Brunch is the happiest place on earth,” “It’s just too close to a severed finger,” and “C’mon, his name is Mayo, why is there not a condiment shirt?” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
