No Crying In Baseball

Patti 0:00
Oh, hi and welcome to episode 412 of no crying in baseball. The it's always good when the dugouts jump in Episode, my name is Patti. I'm here with my friend, Pottymouth. Hey, Pottymouth.

Pottymouth 0:26
Hey, there. I like jumping dugout. So I'm behind this. I can get behind this. Yeah,

Patti 0:31
I think you'll like that. I think you'll like that. You were just at the ballpark. I

Pottymouth 0:36
was so as I was reflecting on what happened this past week, this past week, man, you know, so last, so many things as we started off the episode by saying it's been a week, and now it's been another fucking week. And by the time you guys hear this, who the fuck knows what's going on, but we're gonna try to provide a good distraction with enough socio political context to, you know, just keep the juices flowing there. But my sociopolitical context this past week was at nats park where they celebrated Negro Leagues night on Juneteenth. Eve is what I like. So it was, it was on Wednesday night, and Juneteenth was Thursday. So that's Eve. Sure, you know, if you want to do in the in the Jewish way, it would be Arab, Arab Juneteenth. And I'm sure that's a common phrase, but the NATs were honoring the Negro League, and they said that they had been planning this for like years, that they've been trying to do this. And what I also, and I'm embarrassed to say, didn't realize that around nats Park, they include Josh Gibson and the Homestead Grays in like their, you know, players of history around and so it when the Negro Leagues stats. You know, got, got admitted to MLB, or whatever, however you're gonna put it, I I'm glad to say, see that it's not just the stats, right? That it's it's also some evidence and some important history from the Negro Leagues. That's their storytelling. And, yeah, that's important, right? To get some context, yep. And so there was a really great panel, and it was packed. It was totally packed. And the great grandson of Josh Gibson, Sean Gibson, was there, Dr Damian Thomas from the Smithsonian African American History Museum. And he does especially the sports part,

Patti 2:18
which is incredible. If you are in DC, you could spend just such a long time in just that one section of the museum. And the whole museum was great, but you can get lost in anyone but the sports one just

Pottymouth 2:27
blew me away. Yeah, and the man's just fucking brilliant. He had really great things to say. And the moderator, Dr Daniel Nathan, was a shit I didn't write down the university I said it last week. Go back to last week's episode, but also did a really good job with pointed questions, and I recorded some of it. I have not checked the quality of the recording, but I'm going to be putting it on Patreon. So I tried to do that from the ballpark, but then there were rain delays and all sorts of distractions, and so that was a little bit of a bummer, but the panel itself was wonderful. The outlook that I like the new framing, I think, when they were talking about, sort of the the bringing the stats together, and the the backlash that that they got about, you know, how this is whatever, you know, it's Jane Now Josh Gibson is leading, instead of Babe Ruth. And Is that valid? And what they said is it's not only that the Negro Leagues got these the players got these accolades without having to face, say, Babe Ruth, but also that Babe Ruth got those stats without having to face Josh. Josh Gibson, so it sort of goes both ways. So what they're saying is that there's no way to completely make this better. We have to acknowledge the history and basically do the best we can. But there's a lot of evidence that the the accomplishments of the Negro Leagues were under much more difficult circumstances, because they were being put up at pretty shitty hotels, and they were playing like double headers two days in a row in two different cities and riding busses. And so what they went through to achieve the kind of stats that they got is above and beyond. So it was, it was really good. Check out our patreon for those of you who are on it. And then they kept going. And so the game Sean Gibson did the first pitch, and they recognized a couple of Negro League former players who were there, and they were there during the panel as well. But then they also recognized CJ Abrams, James Wood, Josh Bell and Dalen Lyle, four players in the Nationals starting lineup who are all African American. And I thought, can any other team? And so US born African Americans, not you know, a lot of Dominican players of African descent, but for us, born in one lineup, I thought was really exemplary and

Patti 4:50
very rare right now, yeah, because percentages numbers are going way down. So that's just the starting lineup. So that's, that's not bad. Yeah, it was not

Pottymouth 4:59
really nice. Nice way to start the game. Sadly, they lost one to three to the Rockies, so that was a little bit of Ouch. But the rain delay, really, I think that nats Park really fucked with the rain delay. They could have started on time. There was no lightning. It like came on and off a little bit, and it was delayed by over an hour. So yeah. Anyway, any other exciting things this week?

Patti 5:21
Yes, and it's just tangentially baseball related. It's the 50th anniversary of the movie Jaws. Oh, yeah, which is a scary movie,

Pottymouth 5:29
yeah. How related to baseball? Well, okay, the

Patti 5:33
Yankees have a Jaws milkshake, oh, to commemorate this. And they also had a big ad for the movie behind the batter. So the pitcher is pitching basically to a giant shark right behind the batter. But the milkshake has vanilla ice cream, raspberry sauce, which I think might be blood in the water. I don't know, whipped cream, blue gummy sharks and lifesavers gummies. So they have a whole theme going. I don't know that I require one, but it's nice to see, you know, a little cross training with a movie that was rated PG because PG 13 did not yet exist.

Pottymouth 6:09
Yeah, it's interesting that the Yankees are doing that. I just have to put in the little plug that Martha, that Jaws, was actually filmed on Martha's Vineyard, which is math part of Massachusetts. So sure, really, that shark should be a Red Sox fan. I

Patti 6:23
cannot speak to that, because maybe that shark tried, and no one was friendly to that shark because it was mess holes. That's true. I'm just saying.

Pottymouth 6:30
But you know this, that shark ate a lot of tasty mass holes, for sure,

Patti 6:35
perhaps they were in cahoots with Yankees fans. Oh, my God, I on today's show, it's really hot out. Our boyfriends feature really scary and scary good. Our police blotter features Ellie Dodgers coming around and standing up a little bit and multiple types of vomit. We have the College World Series, and it's really hot out. Cheers,

Pottymouth 7:03
cheers, it is. It is fucking hot out. So we're recording Sunday, June 22 it's only gonna get hotter, like a bunch of the country curse of climate change. The next three days are going to be really hellish, like they Yeah, yeah.

Patti 7:19
We've been warned to stay in air conditioning, which is, you know, only possible to some extent. Yeah, hey. So I'm gonna start with boyfriends this time, just to mix things up a little bit. Boyfriends are the guys that we pick in the off season, one guy per team, because something special about them. Ideally, they're really good at baseball. They are either a lot of fun, have a good backstory, are philanthropic in a way we'd like, but basically, they're a guy that we like to sit down have a beer with. So we're going to talk about our current boyfriends, and then maybe a little boyfriends of the past. I have been starting every boyfriend report with the PCA report, the Pete crow Armstrong report, because every freaking week, oh my god, he does something momentous. So Thursday, Thursday, he hit a home run in the first inning versus Milwaukee game they lost, but that home run made him the fastest player to a 2020 season in Chicago Cubs history. So he was 2020, home runs and 23 stolen bases in 73 games. He was also the youngest to to get there in in cubs history. He's the fourth fastest in all of MLB history. So Sammy Sosa had the previous record for a Cubs player, 96 games in 1994 Let me repeat that. Pete did it in 73 games, more than 20 fewer games than Sammy freaking Sosa. Sosa is the only cub player ever with a 3030, season. I am not saying that current stats continue, that the rates continue through the season. I'm just pointing out that Pete Carroll Armstrong is at 2020, and it's not even the all star break yet. That's crazy. So um James would was James Wood recognized at the Yeah, okay. He was

Pottymouth 8:58
one of the four good, good boy, like guy from Yeah, Rockville, yeah, or only, depending on

Patti 9:04
so the NATs have not been doing well. They've had an 11 game losing streak. I think you were at the end of that losing streak. You were at game 11, yeah, that losing streak. So on Thursday they had, James Wood had a two run walk off Homer versus Colorado, which is like, Yay, which broke their 11 game losing streak. And then on Saturday, versus the Dodgers, he hit a 451 home run. That may sound familiar, because last week, 51 foot right foot home run. And yes, thank you. And last week I told you that he hit a 451 foot home run. Yeah. So last week, that was his farthest home run ever. This time, he tied his longest home run ever. But the important thing was this, when he hit in Dodger Stadium, right? And it was his first time visiting Dodger Stadium, so hello for that. It was his 12th home run at 110 miles per hour or more, which leads, leads MLB currently. Two. It was one of five homers hit by Washington versus the Dodgers during that game. So that was pretty exciting. It was the longest home run at Dodger Stadium this season. Beating you may remember the name Shohei Ohtani. He had the record of 448 now, James Wood owns Dodger Stadium at 451 for this particular season. He says, it's just fun. It's always good. When the dugouts jumping like that, the more the merrier.

Pottymouth 10:24
Yeah, so be careful when he jumps, because he'll hit his head

Patti 10:27
on right. He's a very, very tall man, very tall man. So my Red Sox guy, sit down. Rafael. I'm so happy with this guy. I know he just now hit a home run. My phone just said, Hey, sit down. Rafael. Just hit a home Oh, that's awesome. But he had his, what so far is his best game of the season, on Friday versus the Giants, where he went three for four out of home run and a double A was a triple shy of the cycle. The important thing about that game is was the first time the Red Sox faced the Giants, with Devers playing for the Giants. So that was kind of important. So Rafaela had been only two for 15 in the previous six games, so going three for four that night was a big deal. So the thing about Devers is, apparently he was Raphael's best friend on the Red Sox. And he says it Oh, so that this came up during, like, the post game stuff, because he also made a big diving catch to kind of steal a hit from Devers, right? So he's like, right. So he was asked about that, and he said he's like my big brother. I really looked up to him when I was coming up. So it's always a pleasure for me to watch him play, watch him perform. I think, yeah, it was fun. So he had a good time with that. So yay. Yay for that. One of my few infielders who's actually, you know, doing a thing, Aaron Nola, not doing a thing. He had arenola with the Phillies. I might my pitching flock has been, you know, on the IL because of a sprained ankle. He was just transferred by the Phillies from the 15 day list to the 60 day injure list because he injured his rib cage, his rib cage while rehabbing his sprained ankle. I know the face you're making, yes, exactly. Um, so it's his first il stint since 2017 so they're looking at him coming back in August, but they're not gonna rush it because they want him to be healthy. I mean, your rib cage is gonna really screw with your throwing

Pottymouth 12:14
arm. Any info on how he did that? It was,

Patti 12:17
yeah, I don't it was the thing he was sort of basically he was, you know, as he was throwing, and he screwed up, but so one of the reasons they moved him to the 60 day was so they could free up a roster spot. So they brought up a pitcher named Buddy Kennedy, who have to check out, because I clearly need somebody on my roster. And I just feel like buddy Kennedy sounds like a presidential dog name,

Pottymouth 12:36
yeah. But, you know, at this stage of the game, you really need a buddy. You do, right? You need a pal. So it sounds all

Patti 12:43
right. So my best pal, um, Ali, Richmond, my once and forever boyfriend had a week. Oh, my God, so and so.

Pottymouth 12:50
Yeah, up and down, huh? So, yeah. So the the

Patti 12:55
Orioles split with the rays, which was huge, yeah, which was really great. Thank you. But on Thursday, Adley was a bat. He had 105 mile an hour foul ball into the raised dugout, and the camera stayed on his face, and immediately he looked horrified and everybody but quiet. What happened was his 105 mile per hour foul ball hit relief pitcher, Hunter, Biggie, in the face. He was on a bench near the dugout rail, not behind any of the netting. He fell off that bench. He apparently did not lose consciousness. There was a 10 Minute stoppage when there was you could hurt a pin drop in that stadium, every face on every player was just in shock and concern, no matter what team they were on, every fan, everybody was just silent and like sitting on their hands, or, you know, biting their nails, trying to figure what's going on. And it took a while until, you know, they they showed who it was. And so this relief pitcher, Hunter, Biggie, was already on the aisle, so that's, which is why he was in the dugout, right? And they brought him up, you know, they had, they brought the EMTs out with the cart and the backboard, and put on the backboard and brought him out. And he never lost consciousness. And he was doing the thumbs up thing, which got him that's when the crowd, you know, kicked back in and was cheering for him, because he was able to do that. So that was really important. So Brian Roberts, former OS player, was is a frequent commentator on the local broadcast, and he was on that day, and he said, speaking of experience, that this is a time when it's hard to get back to playing baseball. It's a family baseball as a family, and they did have to get back to the game. And worse than just getting back to the game. Adley had to finish his at bat. Yeah, he was at a three two count. He just got up and just watched a pitch go by, and it happened to be a ball, and he walked. I don't think he was going to swing, no matter what the hell it was, right? He was just just destroyed, right? And he said, Yeah, I saw it off my bat. It's really, really scary. Um. After the game, Tony mancellino, who's the Orioles interim manager, was asked about, you know, was it hard to continue play after seeing that happen? He said, I'd be concerned if it wasn't difficult, sure. So everybody acknowledged it. Everybody acknowledges so big. He was hospitalized. Apparently, he's coherent going through a test. He's interacting with people, so all of that is good. It missed his eye, so it hit like the side of his face. So I think if you're going to get hit in the face, he was lucky about the placement, from what I understand, there's not a lot of info yet. So this was Thursday night on Friday, I don't think was a late scratch, versus the Yankees. And I swear to you, I thought it was good. It was mental health day, yeah, because I would not have faulted him for taking a freaking day off, but it wasn't they said abdominal tightness, and I figured that's a euphemism, right? But it wasn't, because on Saturday morning, he went for an MRI and he was diagnosed with an oblique strain, and he's on the IL is a 10 day. 10 day IL. It's the first time he's been on the injured list, isn't it for his whole career. That's wild, right? So that means that Gary Sanchez is going to be the primary catcher. And they called Maverick Hanley back up. He'd been playing a little bit. They called him back up. Today's game, he was the catcher versus the the the Yankees, jazz Chisholm took him out. He what, I don't, you know, I don't think it was on purpose. It was one of those things where Hanley was one of those things where Hanley was, like, running up the third baseline to try to catch the ball. Chisholm, like, looked like he was trying to avoid him. I don't think that was like, one of those, I'm blocking you, or I'm running into you. I don't think it was it, but hit him so hard he caught air and spun around in the freaking air. Second inning. So the backup catcher, the backup to the backup catcher is probably out. Well, he was out for the game, so Gary, Gary Sanchez came back in. I don't know now, what did they do? That's exactly, I don't know. Did he just get shaken up, maybe. But like the other other guy, they've got pasolino, they said he's not ready yet. We don't want to bring up the kid, right? He's gonna be great one day, but he's not there yet, so I don't know what's gonna happen. So it was just this whole, whole mess of things everybody is worried about, you know, Hunter big and you just, you know, it was a complete accident. It was a weird situation. And 105 miles an hour, you can't duck. You don't have time to freaking duck.

Pottymouth 17:18
Who would expect anything into the dugout, let alone, yeah, rocket.

Patti 17:22
So it was a whole thing and yep. So those, those are my current guys that are doing things we're talking about right now. Yikes,

Pottymouth 17:28
yikes. Well, I guess I can change the mood to a little bit of up. I actually have some good news for once on my guys this week, I talked about three in particular, starting with junior commonero has been one of my favorites, although those fucking rays, fucking rays I know, like, here we are in the Al east, and I just saw that the Red Sox are behind in game three against the Giants, so I am not happy about that. But you know, it's not over. It's not over. Who knows, but the rays, damn it, are 22 and eight over the last 30 games. That was after yesterday, Saturday's game I didn't check in on today, but I don't really want to. Junior came and arrow is a big part of that. So again, like I would love my individual baseball boyfriends to do well and like the team to somehow not last week, Junior's average was 455, with a 1.329 ops, hitting two homers and seven RBI, he's 13 homers on the season. And so there's a little bit of chatter. Is, wouldn't it be fun to have this young guy, 22 years old? Actually, he's going to be turning 22 on July 5, so he'll turn 22 in time for the derby. Wouldn't he be a fun addition to the Home Run Derby? And I am very in favor of that.

Patti 18:41
I think maybe we should start new new categories, new brackets, like we have, like the 24 and under category, or something with 23 and under category. Can you imagine James Wood and junior Camaro and Pete crow Armstrong would all be in that category, right? They could all do that. I mean, yeah, it would be a good time.

Pottymouth 19:02
Yeah, and remember, Junior caminaro is known for celebrating his bombs because he hit the home run to win game seven of the lead on championship the Dominican winter League, and did a stellar bat flip that, you know, took a while for the bat to come back down. So I think he would be styling and kind of the perfect person to do Home Run Derby. The first 45 games of the season, he was batting 230 and he took two days off to work with a Dominican hitting coach, Jorge Mejia, and then since then, he's batting 323, he's got 262 on the season with an 861 ops. So Junior will continue to do good things, but, you know, damn it, raise. Damn it, raise. I was excited to see that I have another player that right as soon as I fucking can, before this podcast drops, and anybody else can take him, I'm going to be putting Ezekiel Duran from the Texas Rangers on my fantasy Ross. Faster because he was not up at the beginning of the season, or maybe I just didn't feel like he had a place on the team at the beginning of the season. He was on another person's team in our fantasy league pandemonium. Had it on at the beginning of the season, and she dropped him at the end of March. And I'm that's why I'm like thinking I really got to get this back on before this podcast drops, because somebody else might pick him up. He's been up and down three times, but he's getting play time now because Jake burger is on the aisle, so he's playing first but he is Mr. Flexibility. He is listed on Yahoo for first base, third base, shortstop and outfield. Right now, last week, he averaged 333, with a 1067 ops. He is not great on the season, but I'm thinking he's hot now, so I got to get him on my team. I also missed the exciting pitching debut. Well, actually, not even debut. He pitched on June 12, hitless ninth inning, seven pitches on a 16 to three win over the twins, so they were so far ahead. Didn't want to waste any pictures. Put in Ezekiel Duran, and did it in seven pitches. And you sort of think, well, maybe we should do that more often. He actually had also pitched earlier in the season versus the Reds on March 31 and that was the other side of the blowout, they were losing 14 to one. So might as well put the guy in. He got also no hits in six pitches. So that means, on the season, Ezekiel Duran, as a pitcher, has a zero era, nine strikeouts on 13 pitches. That's like that reliever caliber. That really is. I mean, I'm not gonna say anything about the 48 mile an hour curveball, but you know, if it works, it works also. This season, along with pitching, he has played first, second, third, short and left field. So unfortunately, Yahoo is not giving credit yet for second base, although this season, he's been at second and left field one time each. So I'm wondering if they go back to 24 where he played a shit ton of outfield, but five times at second base. So at this point, between last year and this year, he's played all positions except for catcher, so let Ezekiel catch heck. Yeah, yeah. I like it. I like

Patti 22:16
it. Before we tell people what we just what beer we switched to. We never said what beer we started with?

Pottymouth 22:21
Sure. So I was at the beach this weekend, and we went to a brewery in Berlin, Maryland called Burley oaks, and we drank the shepherd, which was a New Zealand very nice, Hoppy, hoppy Pilsner.

Patti 22:35
It was delicious. Yeah. And then we just switched to our second beer of the day, which, again, we're back to checker spot, which is our little pre Orioles game Baltimore brewery favorite. We're drinking hillbilly gold Pilsner,

Pottymouth 22:47
which is a very different flavor, even though they're both pilsners, like the last one was much Poppy, sharp, bitter. This is really tasty, just a little gentler, but I like it. This

Patti 22:58
is more of a it's really hot out, kind of a beer. It's all beer. The problem with this one is we're gonna drink it quickly. Yes, in the future, or a bug, I can never

Pottymouth 23:08
tell. Good thing, there's tech support, the last guy I'm going to talk about, but there's a little bit to say about him. Is Andy PAC has from the Dodgers, is doing incredibly well, and I'm totally bowled over by this. I had zero expectations for him at the beginning of the season, did not have him on my lineup to begin with, learned the errors of my ways not too long ago, and I am so glad I have him on now. My team still sucks, but it's not Andy's fault. This past Monday, he was hit by a pitch by Dylan cease, and this was, yes, he's on the Padres now. So this is the first of the Padres series. They had a four game series, and he thought it was intentional. There's some like, there was some hubbub about the Padres thinking that pajs had been checking signs from the catcher the previous inning, or at least that's his excuse for getting pissed off, for getting hit by a pitch. So nothing horrible happened. He got hit by the pitch He stared down cease took like a minute at the plate before stomping his way to first base. And then the Padres manager, Mike Schilt, apparently, lip readers could very much figure out that he was yelling at paquets for his apparent stomp to first or whatever, his stare down whatever he did that offended show and said, Who the fuck do you think you are? Oh, dear, right, so that's basically saying like you're acting like a big guy and you're not one of the big Dodgers. And then Manny Machado, my favorite person to insult, and this, you know, endears me even less. I'm not sure if you have to say something about Kike. Now, I do know, but, but Manny said that the Padres wouldn't hit page Padres pockets. Oh, man second beer intentionally, because LA has other big dogs to hit. So basically saying that this guy isn't worth our while because they're showing. Otani and Freddie Freeman. So apparently Andy PAC has took a little bit of Umbridge. Is that the right word is exactly the word Dolores fact. And the next day he went four for four with two homers and three RBI. So

Patti 25:12
you're a fan then of Manny Machado talking up your guy? Well,

Pottymouth 25:16
I'm fan of my guy telling Manny Machado to, like, stay in his place, right?

Patti 25:19
But it wouldn't done that without many speaking. Yeah. So I'm saying Manny is I'm saying Manny is just raising him to greatness. Yeah,

Pottymouth 25:26
I don't buy that. I think man who's been a dick, an absolute dick. So you never, don't think that this, yeah, that's true. But actually, this does lead into a shopping opportunity, because now, of course, and it wasn't breaking tea, but some Dodgers nation is where I saw it first. I'm not sure what company put it out, but now there's a pocket Big Dog t shirt, and now he has a new nickname, big dog. Very nice. Yes, we can give Manny credit there. Yeah, I suppose there you go. This was kind of the byline, or sort of the least of offenses that happened during this series, because there were two games where both Fernando tatis Jr, former baseball boyfriend of mine, and Shohei Ohtani, former baseball boyfriend of yours, were hit by pitches. So the first game of that, I believe, was the game was Tuesday night's game, and Pa his commented that he didn't think either one of those was intentional. Actually, after the ball game where paques went four for four, which was that same game, the first they time that they got hit, said he had a nice ball game. Hats off to him. Give me a little little little bit of credit, I guess, um, then Thursday was a super ugly day where they both got hit again, and Fernando tatis got hit on the wrist, and they, you know, did a big exam about that. Luckily, he's okay. But both Dave Roberts and silk like had a fucking cow and went out and yelled at each other, and I'm not sure if they actually pushed each other, but they were almost in a actual fight between the managers. They both got ejected and suspended a game. Robert Suarez was the last pitcher to hit, he was suspended three games, and He's appealing because there were a lot of hit batters. So why should he be the only pitcher who's being suspended for it? Because they've been warned, and his was after the warning. That's exactly the answer, right? So we'll see what the judges say. I don't know. So pockets is doing really well, despite the fact, so he's just, he's in this seat. You know, it's the Dodgers, right? And I talk more about them as a as in company, I guess, in the near future. But there are all those names. However, for the National League outfield, Andy paques is second in batting average. He's tied for third in RBI. This is all of in no fourth in homers and slugging sixth and no. PS, he's 292, average, with 847, ops on the season, with 16 home runs this past week, maybe fueled by insults from Manny Machado. He batted 417, with a 1429,

Patti 28:00
ops. Nice. That sounds great. So we we pick new boyfriends every year, but we do keep an eye on the guys. We've had his boyfriends in the past. They are former boyfriends. They have to do bad things to be ex boyfriends. Former boyfriends are guys. Aren't we part as friends. That's great. We had a great time. Cal Raleigh was my Seattle boyfriend for a while. He's catcher. He is having the season of his freaking life right now, right? Yeah, he's just passed, he just passed Mickey Mantle, Jose Ramirez Berkman for the most homers by a switch hitter before the all star break and the day before he did that, he passed Johnny Bench for the most hits most by a primary catcher, right for the same criteria. So Johnny Bench when he hit his like 28th and 29th homers when his 30th, he passed Mickey and Jose and Lance. So he again plays the mariners. Ken Griffey Jr is the only other Seattle player ever to hit 30 home runs before the all star break. So, wow, wow. So Cal is in rarefied air right now. The single season record for the whole season for a primary catcher is Sally Perez with 48 home runs. 48 in 2021 again, Cal Rowley currently leads MLB with 31 and it's not the all star break yet, and he leads MLB. That means he's ahead of Aaron judge, he's ahead of Shohei, he's ahead of Pete, he's ahead of everybody else. With 31 who saw this coming, nobody saw this coming, he's having a heck of a season. So hooray for you.

Pottymouth 29:32
Cal Raleigh, yeah, you know, it's made me feel a little bit better. There was some article by MLB this week where they looked at all these leaders in different categories and their predictions before the season, they were all different, sure they hadn't predicted anything. So, you know, we're just as accurate, if not better. I would say, really sure. I think, I think there's a little trade this week that I'm going to try to talk about really briefly. The Red Sox acquired three pitchers and an outfield prospect, and I just. Checked in on one of the pitchers, Jordan Hicks, relief pitcher, but I think they were trying to make him a starter. They sent two of the pitchers to Worcester to start out. Hicks and Kyle Harrison Hicks started today, and on one out, he led up two runs. So his era is now 27 that doesn't vote. That's a lot of era, but yes, so much. Kyle Harrison, maybe he'll do better. Jose Bayu, I think he's probably starting in single A and then there's James Tibbs, the third outfield prospect. And so the Red Sox acquired all four of these players from the Giants in exchange for Rafael Devers. And it happened right after we recorded last week. And I'm kind of glad it didn't happen right before we recorded, because it was just days of endless angles on it and so much gossip. And, you know, I look at especially the the New England press, and they had so many things to say, a lot

Patti 30:58
to say. So this is good that you had a whole week to sort of process all of this, and so did

Pottymouth 31:02
everybody else digest it. And I just want to tell everybody, just calm the fuck down. Here. You just calm the fuck down. This is not the end of the world. It's another trade. The Red Sox have had some bad like Mega trades before. This might be another one, or it might work out okay, right now, it's not looking very pretty, but you know, he's a D, H, and I, although at this point he said he's willing to play anywhere for the Giants Red Sox fans were like weeping after this. And I right away, I was thinking, you know, very shortly ago, like not very long ago, I was saying, trade them. And I think I said it out loud on this podcast repeated times when he had a really struggling beginning of the season. And that's kind of hypocritical of me to say I'm, I would be upset by the trade now, because he's been doing well, because a lot of the reasons I gave to trade him weren't just his bat, but also his character. And I There are a lot of things about him that were problematic, and a lot of his attitude about, you know, I'm not going to play third, and I'm not gonna play first, and his chewing tobacco drives me fucking crazy, like he's just got, you know, kids are watching people. It's not a nice look. And he's just not a clubhouse guy,

Patti 32:12
I will say. So I, you know, I was watching the O's rays game, so we're all here in the same, you know, in same conference, and the the commentators were talking about this. I don't even know how it came up, because we weren't playing the Red Sox, but there you go. It just happened, right? Everybody's talking about it, and they their take on it was very much. It wasn't his play. It was his attitude. Yeah, it was exactly what you're saying right now. That was the reason behind it. And the other thing that they said that was interesting was they their thought was that the Red Sox moved too quickly to signed Evers to begin. Well, yeah, because they were reeling from, oh, we fucked up with Mookie Betts. Yeah, we shouldn't let him go. We got to get a guy. We need a guy. And they got a guy, and they signed him, and they paid him too much, and they in all this, and now they're regretting it. And so they had, wow, this is an interesting take from, from, you know, a team, you know, it's a commentators for a team in the same, you know, we're, you know, overall, Al East here, but not that invested, yeah, right.

Pottymouth 33:13
No, absolutely. I mean, then they super fucked up, because they put so much money into Devers, then, then they couldn't do anything for Bogart, and they let him go. Yeah? So we were all like, you know, it would have been better spent. Bogart was so much more of a leader, and Devers just wasn't the kind of guy who got the other guys excited or to do stuff. Like, it's interesting what you said that about Rafaela, because the rest of the clubhouse has been sort of radio silent on this, and I don't know the other thing that they're doing is offloading a shit ton of money on his contract, two $50 million so that frees up a lot of flexibility. So yes, they might have maybe not gotten the stellar players that they wanted, but they have flexibility now to make another deal at the trade deadline. I think part of the reeling has been the influence of Dominican culture on the Red Sox and our idols, which would be David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez and Pedro Martinez. And so they have all been talking a lot about it, and it's really interesting, because it's come down as Ortiz against Manny and Pedro. Now they're all buddies, and so I don't think anybody's losing any friendship about this. They have different opinions. They have different opinions. Ortiz is very much like Devers. He's the one who blew it with his attitude. And Ortiz said, there's so much that he said, I'm going to link some articles because I can't do it justice. But basically he said that he reached out to Devers multiple times, and Devers was not responsive to his outreach.

Patti 34:40
Oh, dude, when Big Papi calls you, answer, yeah,

Pottymouth 34:43
absolutely. Manny and Pedro, however, were both sort of saying that it's he's in a difficult position, and that the Red Sox, you know, asking him to change positions maybe wasn't the right thing to do. And. So sort of, you know, just defending the Devers side of the article, of the argument. It's interesting, though, when you frame it this way, that Ortiz was the one that the Red Sox stuck by. So he he did well, so it wasn't hard, but he had some up, and he did have some struggles, and he stayed on the Red Sox and retired as a Red Sox, whereas Manny was traded to the Dodgers, in no way. And Pedro Martinez, they let go after oh four, after the Big World Series, they let him get signed by the Mets, which he really resents in a lot of ways. And you know now he's been sort of adopted back into Red Sox Nation, but that was a really ugly moment. So I can understand why they would be more resentful toward the organization than David Ortiz. So, you know, fan reaction is just super mixed. I'm not upset. I think, you know, he's a very good player, and he's already doing great things for the Giants, and I think the giants are going to get the series, but, you know, who knows? At least the Red Sox got the first game so they didn't get swept. And, you know, it's a good team. We're turning the page. We'll see what happens. We need Bregman back, that's for fucking sure. All right, we're gonna talk about puke now, yes, but two kinds, okay, oh boy, yeah. So please spot her. Involves I drink my beer,

Patti 36:15
involves vomit into two different ways, but both the Cincinnati and St Louis series, right? My favorite headline that I saw was that Ellie de la Cruz vomits on the field and then hits the home run, which sort of encompasses a lot of things. So what happened was Cincinnati is playing in St Louis during extreme heat. Remember, I said it's hot out, it's hot out. It's dangerous out there for a lot of players. Seattle also had a couple of guys go down because of the heat. But here's what happened in St Louis with Ali de la Cruz, who plays for the reds. So he in the third inning, he tripled, he got thrown out at home after head first slide. So lots of running, lots of running, and he was very slow getting up right. So he had exerted himself quite a bit in a game where the starting air temperature was 92 it went up to like 96 but then the whole fact it was like 100 and something, I felt like it was bad, right? It was bad. So in like a top of the fourth, he drank a ton of water, right? A ton of water. So what's the crime? Why is this on police plot? Or the crime? Is that okay? So he goes back on the field in the fourth and he throws it. And i My heart goes out to the landscaping crew,

Pottymouth 37:27
yeah? Who has to go out with a shovel? He's so tall, right from that level?

Patti 37:32
Yeah, so. But it doesn't actually really stop it. And there is actually video of it, which I don't care to see. But the real crime is Terry Francona response to this, to his vomiting on the field in the fourth, he said he drank a bunch of water. I mean, a bunch. He went right out and got rid of it. Probably could have made some money. That's game use. It's probably worth something. So Terry Francona wins the prize and the crime for what the Hell Buddy. And then Ellie did, in fact, stay in the game and he homered in the seventh Oh, the other kind of vomit in that same series is word vomit. Say it with me. There's a letter L in the word Flag. Flag Cincinnati Reds is weirdly like the homophobic slur capital, apparently, anymore. So this, however, was a St Louis announcer, but during the game with Cincinnati, Chip Carey, yes, Carrie, as in Harry Carey's grandson. Oh, right, he misread. It's clearly a mistake. It's clearly a mistake. He misread a Cardinals Disability Pride night ad, he leaving the L out of flag, he clearly caught himself immediately. There was like 30 seconds of dead air, you know, in the old shit moment, and then the commentators kind of went on with it. He's not going to get punished for it. It was clearly an accident. He has got to be just horrified and mortified and all the FIDE right now? So yeah, thankfully. I'm honestly glad it was a St Louis commentator, not a Cincinnati commentator, because there's a whole, you know, though, the Marty Breneman whole thing from a couple years ago. There's a lot going on there, but just please, please repeat with me, there is an L in the word flag, right? Pittsburgh, the pirates continue to have anger management issues. Is it more puke? No, not more puke. Okay, not more people just gonna make you want to puke. It's, well, yeah, it's just like it makes you want to scratch your head. Because what happened was the relief pitcher Dennis Santana while Pittsburgh is in Detroit, right there in the visit he's in the visitors bullpen America Park. He took a swing and a fan,

Pottymouth 39:44
oh, my God, I saw this video. Fucked up. Like, what are you thinking? So fans were obnoxious. Yeah,

Patti 39:51
we don't know specifically what the fan said, But Dennis Santana says, I'm a calm person. They just crossed the line a few times. Times, I would like to leave it at that he already had security with him. He was pointing out the fan that was trouble while he had security with him, and he still climbed the frick up the wall to take a swing at a fan. So he's been suspended for four games. He, of course, is appealing this. I don't know how you can win that appeal, because you clearly took a swing at a fan. I don't think it matters what they said, Yeah, you took a swing at the fan. I mean, the fan should have consequences if they were abusing a player, for sure, but it doesn't take back the fact that he took a swing at a fan. Anger Management running rampant in

Pottymouth 40:37
Pittsburgh, right? People have said all sorts of stupid stuff in our, you know, presence, and we haven't swung in anybody. So that is not the way to solve the and No, no projectiles, no fists, yeah, especially no projectile vomiting,

Patti 40:51
all right, brought that full circle. Nicely done.

Pottymouth 40:55
Tie a bow on that. Um,

Patti 40:57
that's what the landscaper did with the shovel and put back. And then I tied a bow on that, and then, and then Homers.

Pottymouth 41:03
You know, that's why I was thinking, I was like, he homered after puking. Is this gonna be a thing

Patti 41:07
like hamate bones and stuff, right? It gives you superpowers, right? Right? I hope not, because I really don't want, I don't want, because the layers, because the vomiting was caused by being out in unsafe temperatures, which we're probably gonna be facing ourselves on Wednesday. Yeah, not okay, but you know, if it works for you,

Pottymouth 41:25
yeah? Well, to cool things down, I had talked about ice, but not that kind of ice, the bad kind of ice, and more sense of ice, some make you puke, yeah? This one definitely makes you puke. More police blotter, Los Angeles, that's, you know, I didn't put this in the notes, but, like, the fucking name of the city is Los Angeles. It's in Spanish. So all of this stuff about, you know, protecting the people of Los Angeles against immigrants. But folks, you know, they were there first. It used to be Mexico, California, Los Angeles. They didn't, you know, they didn't move. We took over or not we, I'm not taking blame of that, the evil government, folks, those wars and stuff anyway, dodgers, Los Angeles, ice so much shit. That's just my head hurts from everything that's happening. We have, we have a secret police in this country that's kidnapping people and shipping them off to who the fuck knows where. And because our the fascist in chief, I really like the title that you've bestowed on him, pardoned 1500 felons. Who the fuck knows if these aren't the guys? I mean, they're not wearing uniforms, they're covering their faces. These could be the guys who are out there, faces covered, wearing black, just grabbing people off the street. Things are fucked up. So a lot of this was has been going down, you know, with a lot of notice in LA and and last week's episode, we talked about how people are waiting for the Dodgers to say something. And we talked about how the soccer teams are doing something really clear, and the Dodgers had this plan to announce on Thursday that something was gonna happen. Well, something happened on Thursday to delay it until Friday. So first, what they said on Friday, they finally announced on Friday that they're donating at a million dollars. Is that a lot of money? I mean, it is, to me, it

Patti 43:16
depends what it's for. Does it stop people from getting kidnapped and thrown out of the country? So

Pottymouth 43:21
I think it's kind of interesting that they didn't even talk about that. They said that they're donating a million dollars to immigrant causes for immigrants who are, quote, impacted by recent events in the region. I feel like that is so like sanitized recent events. People are being fucking pulled off the streets and thrown into vehicles and disappeared recent events.

Patti 43:41
I mean, if what it means is we are funding immigrant rights organizations who will provide like, legal services and all of that kind of stuff that maybe, but they're not saying it's very freaking fuzzy,

Pottymouth 43:55
yeah, and they're and they're postponing it even more. They said that they're going to be announcing more stuff in the near future, related to supporting local community and labor organizations dealing with food issues, which is important, and mental health services, you it's very important. Both of those are very important things. But also legal defense is really important. It is.

Patti 44:15
I will say I'm all for the food things, even locally. You know, I work with community organizations who do food insecurity reduction, and they say we have a lot of immigrant population here where we live, and people are afraid to come to food distributions. They're afraid they're going to get picked up. So they're trying to find other ways to get the food needed by the people who need the food, and make them safe, keep them safe while they're also being fed. So if that means that what you just said, I'm okay with that absolutely. I want legal defense for sure, but I'm okay feeding people if they are afraid to get food right now,

Pottymouth 44:52
right? And I but I think they need to say out loud, these people need food because the food with the food earner of the family. Has been disappeared. You know, these people need food, because whoever was working in that family is now in jail somewhere with under whatever conditions that we don't know. And these people need help,

Patti 45:11
and they are afraid to get help, because they're afraid that they too will then get Yeah, disappeared, exactly, yeah. They need to say more words.

Pottymouth 45:17
So there are a bunch of other events this week, so last Saturday. So this happened before we recorded, but hadn't heard about it then. Neza, whose real name is Vanessa Hernandez, she's a singer of Colombian Dominican descent. She is one Colombian parent, one Dominican parent. She is US born, but grew up bilingual. Last Saturday, she sang the Star Spangled Banner at Dodger Stadium, and she sang it in Spanish, el pendon Estrella. New Words from Well, I knew it was starred Estrella, but I didn't know pendon, and she was told not to. So she is really strong woman, and she posted the video of the Dodgers employee. She the video is on her so she didn't out the identity of the person, but of the person telling her, actually, no, we don't want you to say this in Spanish. You're singing this in English. And she went out and she said, I did it anyway. And so the first backlash, she said that they got a call from somebody, again, she didn't identify that person, basically saying she's no longer welcome there, although, after a lot of support came out in favor of what she did, the Dodger said, Oh no, we never said that. There's no hard feeling. She can come back anytime. She's basically saying, I don't feel welcome. I'm not going to go back. She pointed out that this version, it wasn't like something she made up. It was an official version of the Star Spangled Banner in Spanish, written in 1945 as part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Good Neighbor Policy, which is, you know, not such a good neighbor, but you know better than previous at any rate. And she just said I was going to do it anyway. And also, after all that support, she sang it again that Wednesday night at the LA City Council meeting, invited to do so. So la government is doing the right thing. And a lot of ways, the mayor has been really positive, really outspoken, and ice maybe, or maybe not, came to the Dodgers on Thursday before the Padres game. So this is sort of like a who said, what happened? There's a lot of stuff out there, and we'll link to some of the things, but it seems like a little bit of the fall back fallout after this kerfuffle with her and all of the stuff that's going on somebody and because, like, as I said before, the folks don't wear any fucking identifying information. Somebody was staging something at the parking lots of Dodger Stadium. And so this was importantly, on Thursday, the day that the Dodgers said that they were going to be announcing whatever they were going to announce to support immigrant causes. And they didn't quite have a chance to, because the news was diverted by some government, I don't know, government, adjacent adjacent organization, basically staging there, saying that, you know, they're getting ready to go after intimidating people coming in. And so the Dodgers kicked them out. They wouldn't let them into the parking lot. So one yay, good thing for Dodgers. The Dodgers were the first who said that it was ice, and then ice came back and said, No, actually, it wasn't us. It could

Patti 48:19
because they're so freaking trustworthy. I believe everything absolutely,

Pottymouth 48:23
it could have been Customs and Border Control, but really that all you know, whatever it's it's, none

Patti 48:28
of that should be happening in a baseball park, parking lot, exactly, no matter what, during a

Pottymouth 48:33
game, exactly, exactly. And customs said that their vehicles were there just briefly. It was unrelated to actual enforcement. But who the fuck knows? The LAPD also, which is like, this is weird combination of, hey, this is La dealing with its own problems. So we don't need the federal government you stay away. But also, LAPD is doing all sorts of shitty stuff themselves. So it's like, this really weird. I don't know mix of feelings about them, but they also chase them away. Gavin Newsom staff pointed out that the real goal behind this is just making people afraid. Sure, right? Sure, sure, that's what they're doing, yep. Also, I am super disappointed that at the time of recording. So this is Sunday night. It's been over a week since all this stuff has happened or the this stuff started. Still only, yeah, definitely. Way. Over a week since the LA issues have started, still only Kiki Hernandez is the only one who's made an official statement as a player. I listen to Mookie Betts his podcast on the regular, and I have been super disappointed for at least the last three weeks. The ads at the beginning of the podcast are Trumpy. There was one with Trump's actual voice, but a lot of them are by like, I don't know, Americans for prosperity.com or something, some bullshit like that, talking about needing to lower taxes, and all sorts of very conservative causes and a lot of like dog whistly kind. Of words, and so I need to get my shit together and write to Mookie. Because what the fuck like he hosted a Juneteenth event? Like, yeah, what is he thinking? He's compartmentalizing for sure, or somebody is controlling this and he doesn't know. I can't believe nobody else listening has said anything about this. So What the actual fuck all? Right, I've been talking long enough last part of the police blood utter is wander Franco. I talked about that last week that I was gonna have an update this week. Luckily, I don't, because I don't have much time for it, they postponed the decision again to tomorrow, so you might know about this more than us, and we'll talk about it next week. Whatever comes down, We

Patti 50:37
sure will. And now we're on to the College World Series. Oh shit, I have

Pottymouth 50:41
two things in a row. College World Series just ended. Hey, Go Tigers. LSU took it in two games. Game Two today, I believe. Shit. I didn't write the final score. I think it was like five to three. Coastal Carolina had a little bit of a little bit of an explosion there. They have actually really nice uniforms, just side note, but their coach, Kevin Schnell, who's apparently a first, first year coach, plus the first base coach, were ejected in the bottom of the first inning for arguing balls and strikes. So he I could see the video of him yelling from the dugout to the ump, you had three bad calls. Apparently, the UMP didn't like that at all. Sure, they were ejected, plus for two more games. But those aren't happening. I don't know if those go over to next year or not. LSU won. I don't know if that's why, but I you know, I think that LSU won on their own. Regards anyway, so sad for Coast to Carolina, but yay tigers. And if you look at our Instagram story, you'll see that Patty is proudly holding the LSU koozie you got from our friend Brian. So congrats, Brian, who also gave me the tip that even before the game today, LSU had won something when that was something that we talked about last year, which is Rocco's pizza and Cantina. This bar in Omaha has the annual jell o shot challenge, sure and so of the final eight, which team can have the most people buying jell o shots in their honor and L, S U dominated. Now they didn't hit the record of 2023, when the last time they won with 68,888 jell o jell o shots. This year there were over 30,000 although, according to Brian, there are a lot of famous people in there, maybe buying rounds of jell o shots for the bar, like, say, Paul Skeens and Libby Dunn buying, but also Todd graves, the canes chicken. Finger Mac finger magnate, canes, canes chicken, right? That's it. I don't know. I think it's one of the raising canes. I think it's like a chicken. I

Patti 52:40
don't know all the car names

Pottymouth 52:43
anyway, there were, like, a bunch of rich people, apparently. But

Patti 52:46
I'm just saying this sounds a little bit like very gentle

Pottymouth 52:49
voter fraud. Yes, gentle. But you know, when it's done with jell o shots, is it really fraud? It's

Patti 52:56
it's still fraud, but no one cares deeply, because the jell o shots, and once you have the jell o shots, you really don't care about the outcome.

Pottymouth 53:03
Coastal Carolina, just for reference, had 7500 ish, probably more by now, before before game time, sure. Jell o shots, this challenge has been going on since 2019 and it's for a good cause. A portion of the proceeds go to local food banks. So one of our favorite

Patti 53:19
things so you know, very gentle voter fraud pays off to, you know, organizations who really

Pottymouth 53:24
need it. I just have to point out that most jell o shots are not, in fact, vegetarian, because jell O is made with gelatin, you know, which is horses

Patti 53:32
hooves. You are really harsh.

Pottymouth 53:36
I'm so sorry.

Patti 53:37
Wow. And you looked at me like, like, I shouldn't talk about vomit. You just rude. You just ruined jell o shots for everyone

Pottymouth 53:44
I did, there are vegetarian alternatives. We just have to get them popularized,

Patti 53:49
and they're probably going to be more expensive, so you really need pulse gains and living down to buy your jell o shots then.

Pottymouth 53:53
But then you know more for the food banks, if you double, but I don't know Anyway, all right, wow. Big, big, big news. I

Patti 54:02
have such big news. So we have this crazy fantasy, fantasy baseball league,

Pottymouth 54:06
this crazy fantasy we have this crazy fantasy that someday, I don't know, so

Patti 54:11
yeah, right, we'll talk about that more Sure, sure, but the fantasy league that we have, remember last week I was saying nothing ever changes, right? I think someone at Yahoo took all the teams, they put them, like, in a bucket and shook it and like, like, tossed it all out, and things were different this week, very, very different. So big congratulations to pandemonium, who jumped seven freaking points in a week and two spots

Pottymouth 54:42
to take over first place. That is indeed pandemonium.

Patti 54:46
That is That is indeed pandemonium. Bo um, bonus boyfriends and wicked awesome are now tied for second. Karen's crew. The for the top five have been the same top five in whatever order. For a long time. Karen's crew knocked dingers, dinos out of the top. Five, right? You dropped a couple points. The kids gained some. So you guys are tied for 10th. So let me read you the whole list. Okay, today, because it's very different, and I'm still in 10. Number one, pandemonium. You're tied, though. Number two, bonus boyfriends. Number three, wicked awesome team. Again, those two are tied for number two. So number four, left is field. Number five, Karen's crew, welcome to the top five. Number six, we've got dingers, dinos. Well, then number seven, bring back renell. I'm number eight. Can I just say I was number seven all week long, until it was time to take this this little it easy, go, easy, go. So I'm number eight. The rant is number nine. Potty Mills Posse is number 10. Tied with the kids who came out of the basement to tie with you, right? And then that puts the Canadians in the basement. But we still love you. Yes, absolutely. So many things happened. That's so see, and we're not even at the All Star break and things

Pottymouth 55:51
get shook. Yeah, I think Bo probably got like this, you know? I mean, LSU has nothing to do with it, except for this inspiration. Yeah, sure. It's

Patti 55:57
like, like, it's like, it's like, it's like, Manny Machado, like, insult for them, or something, any race to greatness, I don't know. Yeah. And meanwhile, I did get to say Kiki too. So, so you said both, yeah, you took it for the team. Yep, I love that about you. That really makes things easier for me. We are going to a super hot game this week. It's, it's Orioles pride game on Wednesday. We're very excited to go. We're going to see the Rangers, which I think is going to be a lot of fun. I hope that, yeah, that Langford is,

Pottymouth 56:27
is, is off the is kind of like day to day right now, yeah, well, and it's very important. I really appreciate the O's for doing this. I don't know if they did. Yeah, you talked about this pride with the Rangers. Who don't are the only team without pride, yeah, the only team without pride. That's

Patti 56:42
a sad, yeah, without a pride night. So again, I will say, I think it's it would be more valuable to bring pride to to the Rangers ballpark. But this is good. This is good better. So I'm happy about that. We're going to be very, very warm. I'm afraid that we're going to try to make up for it with beer, because you know us, yes. So there will be photos. We may be sloppy. I'm just saying also, hopefully, if we're there in time, we'll be very, very good jerseys.

Pottymouth 57:07
Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's true. And they all have destinations. They all

Patti 57:11
do. So what else are we telling people, reminding people about? So

Pottymouth 57:14
it is time to vote for your all stars. I keep forgetting, so don't you forget. Go there right now you can vote. What is it? Five times? Five times a day, five times a day. So do that now, because there's a lot of people who deserve your vote. We've talked about a bunch of them. You know, go back and get Junior commonero to that home run derby by getting him an all star first. And James Wood, I think it would be so much fun. And Pete, clearly, Pete crow Armstrong deserves a lot of votes, so do that. I'm going to bananaball Friday night, so that'll be an interesting thing. That's the savannah bananas, right? Yep, they're gonna be here at NAT stadium, hoping that the weather breaks just a teeny, teeny bit before Friday. Yeah? 110

Patti 57:58
degrees. It seems like too many. Yeah, it seems like at least 20 or 30, too many degrees, too many. I hope you're cooler. Where you are. We believe you're totally cool, because listening to this podcast. So thanks for that. So we want to make sure that you get boosted, that you fight the man, because it's the right thing to do. You send your game balls to Meredith. Oh, wait a minute. We didn't talk about social media. We didn't talk about where you can find us. So you can tell us how you're beating the heat.
