No Crying In Baseball

Voxtopica

When Patti and her potty-mouthed friend talk baseball, you'll know this is not a baseball podcast for lightweights. This is the real deal, from real fans. Because diamonds are a strong woman's best friend, and there's no crying in baseball.

    Stay True to your Superhero Lore

    We’re pretty sure Batman doesn’t mean what Nathan Lukes thinks it means. The Password is up for PIT and the Username is in Maine. Nick surpasses Rickey’s streak. Other Nick debuts in front of home town crowd. James Frickin Wood scores a real inside the park GS (sorry, JJ). Everybody loves Salvy, and Chris is retiring for real this time. It doesn’t matter if your home run hits the top of the foul pole or the base, it counts the same and both are pretty notable. The Johnson’s, if that’s their real name, home run ball luck inspires us to greatness. Pottymouth encourages Mexico and Canada as alternate World Cup viewing sites if you are not a lucky New Yorker benefitting from a Mayor who gets it. And we embrace solidarity with a Mexican teacher’s union with an excellent plan for visibility. We channel a little Brenda Vaccaro because we don’t know the sultry, gravelly voice of kids today. Please help. We say, “Tommy Phams says hold my beer,” “Chuchaqui sounds like what being hungover feels like,” and “I don’t have really great aspirations but I’d like to do a teeny bit better.” 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.

    62 or 12, You Make the Call

    Welcome to the episode where we embrace retirement age and a respect for poetry at the same time our inner 12 year olds attempt to discuss cockfighting with the seriousness it deserves. That’s right, in the same hour we reference NPR and the National Baseball Poetry Festival, and Edwin Diaz and his 150 c**k photos on Facebook. Not that kind. We tell you about Thor dabbling with slander, Yasiel Puig’s perceived lack of remorse, and the wrong kind of banner day at Nat’s Park. Pottymouth’s boyfriends battle it out – Will Blaze be the new Westy? How will the Jorbit/Nasim contest end? Patti’s guys have the big bats this week, and she finally has a starting pitcher back in the flock. Gavin is locked in for the clutch hits. And Tommy Pham becomes the Free Space. CBA negotiations have finally begun and this piece on ESPN can help you get up to speed. We say, “I can’t explain Tommy Pham,” “our favorite bat-licker,” and “the only sport where you should have knives on your feet is ice hockey.” 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.

    Loose and Crackly

    Tarik may have had loose bodies removed from his elbow but Patti’s pitching flock remains in shambles. Our boyfriends are getting beaned, sometimes by the aforementioned flock member. We don’t care for it, and yet what happened to warnings? Pottymouth catches us up on her overabundance of catchers. Shea has Dad Power. JJ hits an inside the park grand slam and laments the running. Patti relates. It turns out, at the one-quarter season mark, that we are terrible about predicting where teams will be in the standings but not so bad about identifying individual stand-out players. Pottymouth digs deeper around the self-deportation of Humberto Federico Cruz-Guajardo. Patti wants you to read this article in Andscape putting the importance of the new owners of the Padres into the context of who has power and what that means. We invite you into WPBL player Brittany Apgar's public conversation about DIY solutions to protecting the nub. And finally, we crosstrain with souvenir beverage delivery systems.  Beer skates, anyone? We say, “left hip inflammation screams ‘old guy’,” “a dunkel in the fridge,” and “it doesn’t seem like a cap someone who likes baseball would wear.” 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.

    Super Helpful for the Mental

    We have streaks, and streaks that have been struck, and hello new guy, and some monster home runs fueled by quesadillas. Patti preps you for collective bargaining which should start Any Day Now. And she wants you to do some homework by reading this piece in the Athletic if you want to get all caught up. Pottymouth gets all Alice in Wonderland with the Phils firing their manager and is Mattingly 110 yet? We cross train with national anthems and the NHL and a pretty meaningful O Canada moment. The Women’s Baseball World Cup qualifiers were great for Canada and not so much for Puerto Rico – next stop Rockford. Congrats to some DC Girls Baseball stars heading to the Maria Pepe series in Williamsport. Lastly, the Miami Grand Prix tells the Brooklyn Cyclones I see your hot dog jog and raise you caviar and gold flakes. Patti cheated on NCiB with another podcast. Check her out on the Daily Deuce. Video and everything. We say, “He talks like Cody Bellinger looks,” “Let’s hope that all works out with the purple coat,” and, “more ridiculous hot dog news.” 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.

    Pope-a-Palooza

    In which we consider the logistics of the CWS-branded pope hat giveaway. Are they inappropriate?  Are they too tall to see over?  What are the optics if pope hat-wearing fans brawl? Alas, it’s not for us to determine first hand, but we do get in an inadvertent “holy crap.” In the boyfriend report we find both bombs and f-bombs where Sal is concerned, We celebrate the turnaround of slow starts by Nick, Connor, and Josh. The former boyfriend word of the way is “Pokikémon.” You’re welcome. It’s a low bar when we celebrate flipping off fans over homophobic slurs but here we are. Alby takes it on the chin and still goes to work. We ponder the barrier- and record-breaking sale of the Padres and its implications for collective bargaining. We help you feel better about having done your taxes – at least you’re not filing 20 state returns and factoring in those 8 days you worked in Canada. We say, “De-escalate and then you can have a block party,” “Exas-pergasted,” and “everything is coming up Pottymouth.” 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.

    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.
