No Crying In Baseball Voxtopica

Welcome to Junior Pottymouth, sitting in for Patti who is hiding out in the mountains for a week. Junior’s bf Gunnar (you may have heard of him) and Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball league legend Jordan Westberg combine for one of those stats you can’t believe people track. Pottymouth dazzles with Elly Math, and Bobby Witt just keeps hitting since the all star break. Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball league legend James Outman is Back, Man. Pottymouth’s former bf Jarren Duran brings home the ASG MVP. Welcome back to pissy Joe Kelly from the 60 day.
Alec Burleson is now on Patti’s no-fly list due to Trump celly, and now many STL guys are suspect. Nick Castellanos list of home runs at auspicious times continues to grow. Listen for the list! Thom Brennaman may or may not have learned that slurs are bad, and maybe Moneyball doesn’t mean what you think it means. The Syracuse Mets La-Crosstrain with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and show how meaningful a “theme” night can really be. Hey, why is the ASG going back to ATL?  NOTHING HAS CHANGED since it was taken away. Watch the Women’s World Cup!
We say, ”So much cool math out there – I wish I knew how to do it,” “Is this hopeless? I’m never gonna be jacked,” and “Very Ripkenesque, shall we say?” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Better late than never as we squeeze this episode in between the Derby and the ASG. Will, Andres, and Zach do Patti proud with defense that may be lucky but is definitely sexy. Jarren Duran has the f*ck ‘em shirt (and soon Pottymouth will too) but Vaughn has the f*ck ‘em attitude. Kiké is on the bump trash talking Kyle from Waltham, while Kevin and Whit are on the outs. Wander Franco solidifies his spot on the NCiB no-fly list and there’s no coming back. Do you want to own a baseball team?  Keep your eye on the ball… er Ballers and it can happen. You’ll have to trust us on our Derby picks since we didn’t report out till after, but we keep each other honest.

West Coast Correspondent Deborah brings her field report from an Oakland Ballers game where it’s always Grateful Dead night, and has Patti wishing for a guest announcing gig. Even in Pottymouth’s absence we check in on Jarren Duran and his f*ck em shirt, and Elly getting all team-matey. MJ Melendez gets the Dynasty Card of his dreams from local fans, Jack Suwinski helps PNC Park run out of home run fireworks. Everything is Just Fine on Deborah’s fantasy team because of Max Fried, a welcome ASG nod to Jesse Chavez, and a late ASG add of Heliot Ramos. Patti shares the joy of a last minute decision to catch James Woods’ debut with Pottymouth. He is Very Tall. We cross train by welcoming Jessica Campbell as the first woman to coach in the NHL, and checking in on multiple opportunities for Bay Area women’s soccer. Just in time for the Home Run Derby, we walk you through the new rules.
We say “Are you more of a Lisa Simpson or more of a Hermione,” “If you’re in your 20’s, there’s a good chance you’re a Spencer,” and “I did spend some taxpayer dollars explaining baseball.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

We puzzle through giving benefit of the doubt, trusting one’s gut, and considering suspect timing, plus steaming nose emojis when evaluating the off the field actions of players. Jackson Chourio is hot and Pottymouth is here for it. OMG, José Iglesias! Patti’s new pitcher Gavin Stone nearly has a Maddux, We learn what auto body skills have to do with custom cleats – thanks to Bryson Stott. Our police blotter ensures that we will always be a little afraid of ballpark escalators, and amused by the sliding scale of sticky stuff. Things are hopping in the CPBL with the Lions winning the first half, Yu Chang with the other Guardians, and a potential international baseball partnership among leagues. We question the sponsorship partnership between the Lake County Captains and Roto Rooter resulting in thrones of a different kind behind the plate. And Ashton goes bananas.
We say “Maybe he should not have done the touching and just hit the home run,” “We’re wearing reading glasses – you can hear it in our voices,” and “I’m not paying to sit on a toilet, you can’t make me.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Like a fine single malt scotch, this super-sized episode is packed with sophisticated flavors. We honor the passing of Willie Mays by sharing his legacy through words and not numbers. We look at the first steps that are the Rickwood Field game with the first all-Black umpire team, through the eyes of Masyn Winn, one of the few Black players on the game’s roster, and how far we have to go. In our boyfriend segment we note numerous names on the IL, gigantic hits, and a tiny, adorable (cheers!) first pitch. We may have kicked off our Dylan Crews Watch. Our Police Blotter features the first game won on a pitch clock violation walk off. And Pottymouth leads a deep dive into the cultural significance of Grimace.
We say, “Boom! F*&k! Boom! F*&k!,” “WebMD doesn’t have Craig Counsell saying ‘walk it off!’,” and “Willie Mays would have totally been a boyfriend.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Jonah and José spend Father’s Day weekend shoring up their Dad power. Masyn and Joey have us rethinking our ROY predictions. More of Patti’s pitchers hit the IL, and Pottymouth admits to over-gloating. That’s a real thing. Well-respected umpire Pat Hoberg is the first official to run afoul of MLB’s sports betting rules but he does not think that’s the case. On the happy betting side, Toronto’s 50/50 raffle is changing lives. The Cards crosstrain with the NBA, and Curt Miller, head coach of the Sparks, talks Pride Month visibility. If it’s Bull Durham: A New Musical, does that mean we missed the old musical?
We say, “Here I am on summer break talking about splitting infinitives,” “Less adorable, more adult beverage,” and “I have like 1,000 follow up questions and you haven’t even told me the story yet.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
