No Crying In Baseball

We had the great honor of talking with Bob Kendrick, President of the National Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, which, in his words, “is one of the nation’s most preeminent social justice civil rights institutions – it’s just seen through the lens of baseball.” We share a few of Bob’s stories in this episode, and the full interview will be released as a bonus episode later this week. We’ve got boyfriends from TEX and ARI this week. For TEX, Pottymouth picks the only guy to play for both teams in one game while Patti completes a set of brothers. We battle for shortstop with ARI, with Pottymouth going sunshine and Patti leaning into the mom thing. We continue to keep an eye on MLB players in Venezuela, and we crosstrain with reality TV and fictional hockey, while women’s basketball crosstrains with women’s hockey.

We say, “Another retirement plan is coming to fruition,” “He can’t sing very well, but he tried,” and “Now that is a momma’s story right there.” 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.

We All Wanted to Be Henry Aaron

We did not plan to go all Florida in this episode but you can’t fight the rankings. For the Rays, Pottymouth picks Jonathan Aranda of the excellent qHAR and Kirk friendship, and Patti goes sexy defense and trustworthy babysitter Carson Williams. For MIA, Pottymouth selects Jakob Marsee and his good luck travelling pack, and Patti picks former Oriole Connor Norby, maybe just to tell a call up story. You knew it was coming, buckle up for the Venezuela rant. MLB had no plan and team statements are few and far between. Pottymouth has shared this googlesheet of Venezuelan players so you are able to track their statements as they happen. There’s not enough police blotter in the world to contain Lenny Dykstra. And we crosstrain with basketball, salsa, and Olympic hockey.

We say,”I did a deep dive, because, salsa lessons,” “does he not know how to spell OnlyFans?” and “how do you do that without stretching?” 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 Florida Confusing

In which our boyfriend profiles reference the chicken dance, churning butter, ballers, and something nice to look at. Welcome to (not the Sacramento) Athletics and Cardinals week. The long strange trip of Anthony Rendon is finally over. He may have been why we changed the rules on forever boyfriends… the multi-talented Katia Reguero Lindor joins the Mamdani transition team and we are here for it. Is that why they are using Mets colors? We crosstrain with the ECHL’s brief but effective strike and share the ridiculously low expectations of minor league hockey. There's a series of series in the international baseball segment and we are no less confused. Happy New Year, friends!

We say, “Tragic in a disappointing sort of way,” “either I have another accident-prone guy or there’s hope,” and “maybe the answer is more colonization.” 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.

Kinda Fun, Kinda Cute, or Cultural Appropriation?

The road trip season has pushed us back a day but here we are squeezing in a show between Chanukah and Christmas. Vocabulary lessons this week include Competitive Balance Tax, because the Luxury Tax isn’t just for Monopoly anymore, and Prospect Promotion Incentive (PPI). Just because it's the holidays it doesn’t mean you can slack on learning. Our boyfriends this week are from BAL, where Patti leans into the once and forever boyfriend and Pottymouth goes Westy, and the Hammers, where Pottymouth picks a player with a wacky Tennessee claim to fame and Patti goes right to ROY. The Police Blotter features the return of Wander Franco’s case to the courts, and the end of the Tyler Skagg’s courtroom drama. The International Baseball update includes almost baffling chaos around the Serie del Caribe and the Serie de las Americas but the takeaway is absolutely please stop blowing up Venezuelan boats. We’re both on yet more road trips and we wish you safe travels if you are too, and happy holidays if you celebrate. See you a day late again next week!

We say, “A glass half full of Santa’s Butt,” “There was some hockey, there was some smarts,” and “Donny was the youngest Osmond that had any juice.” 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 Sliding Scale of Villany

Brittany Apgar, professional baseball player, newly drafted to the WPBL’s LA team, joins us to talk heroes and villains, origin stories, and finding your true self in the face of others telling you who you should be. Patti may have just found an LA baseball team to get behind. Another LA baseball team shows up in our boyfriend report The The Angels Angels, and the Pirates, get their turn in today’s show. For LAA, Pottymouth picks the guy with So Much Winter Ball, and Patti goes family trash talk. For PIT, we meet the Password and that nice local hockey player. Happy Chanukah! And may your house smell like oil for eight days. We mean that in the best latke way possible.

We say, “There was a little mezcal, a little bourbon,” “Yoga in the outfield with cows,” and “God I love the weird girls.” 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.

I Can Feel Everybody’s Dreams, Everybody’s Hopes

On this week’s show we crosstrain with the NBA, the PWHL, the WNBA, and cats. We tell you exactly what you need to win for a share of the pre-arbitration bonus pool and Pottymouth makes a case for a similar pay equity system for public servants. As both of your hosts are public servants, we support this idea. We cannot share the top secret formula, however, because, well, top secret. Our boyfriends this week are from the Twins and the Nats. Pottymouth was swayed by love at first sight, and Patti took inspiration from last week’s interview guest, Clara Rice. We bring you one of the Rodrigi, a wrestler with a boxer walk-up, a young man giving back and “doing something cool,” and a playable character offered a full ride in 8th grade. WBC Rosters are out and its already stubhub time if you want to see any games in PR. Venezuela is still the host of the Serie del Caribe, but lets all keep an eye on current events. MLB workshops its economic priorities for the next CBA with the Fan Council, the MLBPA eboard is all pitchers and former Patti BFs, which sounds right, and Dave Roberts makes some poor language choices.

We say,”I’m more of the fricking type because I’m a lady,” “I went to a basketball game in the live,” and “Where is our Tortuga?” 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.

Wake up, Sit up, and Pay Attention

Clara Rice “technically” played eight sports in high school and “also baseball” outside of school so how could she not be part of the WPBL’s first draft class? She’s been crosstraining her whole life for this. Don’t worry though, she’s down to just two sports in her junior year of college, and “also baseball.” We hope you enjoy listening to our interview with Clara even half as much as we enjoyed talking with her. Just don’t try to pin her down on a hometown, there’s too many of them. It’s also the first of our new season of boyfriends. For CWS picks, Pottymouth goes for the infectious personality and Patti goes for the guy who takes mom to the hardware store. In COL, Pottymouth chooses a podcaster and Patti says yes to sexy defense. Some quick hits on winter ball: check out Saucegiving, and the LVBP HR derby.

We say, “I like that you check with me on a bible situation,” “It broke up the boy band,” and, “fishes, loaves, whatever, there were a lot of Tidings.” 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.

Every Single Sport That Exists

It’s rare you can watch a dream come true in real time. We’ve been following Paloma Benach’s career as part of DC Girls Baseball, captaining her high school varsity team, and more along the way. And now we had the pleasure of speaking with her as a professional baseball player – making history in the inaugural draft of the Women’s Pro Baseball League. Give a listen as Paloma shares what it was like standing on the mound at Nat’s Park, what it took to get there, and what’s next. We also talk about some MLB and winter ball news, so there’s some clubhouse dogs, bat dogs, and wolves using tools, some hot stove vocabulary, yet more sports betting. Don’t worry, the Commissioner has that handled. But mainly, we’re all Paloma, all the time.

We say, “chicken and egging,” “Prioritize and itemize,” and “that’s why I haven’t had a heart attack yet today.” 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.

What the Air Feels Like, What the Ground Feels Like

And we thought they were only connected by wearing LAD caps. But no, Kiké Hernandez apologies to all of Puerto Rico from his hospital bed for having to miss the WBC due to shoulder surgery. Just last week his twin, Prince Harry, was apologizing to all of Canada. PCA and Corbs join Team USA and dear young Pete makes Mr. Judge feel his age. Welcome to little outlaw super athlete child, Josie James Swanson. Turns out our terrible predictions were only a little terrible – we aced Cy Young and the NL! The movement to keep LAD from visiting the White House gains traction, and the aerial tramway to the stadium loses some. The Trop is back and we want to know if the ceiling will still be “where the hell is the ball white.”

Baseball United is back, including Barry Larkin Field outside of Dubai, more home grown talent, and some questionable rule changes. The Police Blotter is all sports betting because it is really hitting a new level and we don’t miss the irony of the GMs meeting in a casino last week. Preliminary labor talks give Patti her second favorite quote of the week. We crosstrain with the fascist in chief’s visit to the Commanders vs Lions game last week and more happily with the PWHL’s Takeover Tour. Stay tuned – the WPBL’s draft is coming up!

Kiké and Harry, Separated at Birth?

Here we go into hot stove! And the one of us who is not a teacher by trade provides the vocabulary lesson. Stick with us and qualifying offers, arbitration, and super 2s will not confuse you. Congrats to Patti’s center fielders, PCA and Cedanne, for their Gold Glove wins, and to Pottymouth’s catcher Patrick Bailey for his. Pottymouth is accountable with her accounting – she came through with donations to excellent organizations doing good work to balance out guys who have done horrible things off the field helping her favorite team win on the field. Other good works in baseball? Dodgers fans supporting a Toronto children’s hospital, inspired by Toronto fans supporting a Seattle hospital. Maybe the LAD supporting the California Community Foundation’s LA Neighbors Fund? Maybe not? And the folks urging LAD to take an intentional walk right on past the White House instead of stopping by for a World Series visit. Sign their petition. 

The police blotter is long, covering Clase and Ortiz’s gambling/fixing pitches indictments, Prince Harry’s completely unnecessary apology to Canada (no kings, anybody?), the Fascist-in-Chief’s pardoning of Daryl Strawberry for things he himself embraces so how can they be wrong, and Harper not actually sleeping with the fishes. Winter ball news includes Javy not only playing for LBPRC but also buying a AA semi-pro team, and the league rebranding in a way that makes Patti think she knows more Spanish than she actually does (El rebranding,” “La Pro”). And how about that Little Machete? More white guys got manager gigs, but one is on his way to being bilingual as Albernaz adds some Baltimore-ese to his native Mass. Your hosts urge you to take some hyper local action if you are comfortable – patronize your local immigrant-owned businesses, support your community foundation, write some postcards to policy makers.

We say, “perhaps the whole king thing is a bigger problem than the baseball cap,” “mafia-level juicy gossip,” and “I’m going to keep talking until you tell me to stop.” “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.

Starts Nice, then Trash Talk

Join us for birthday cross training, swag fails, rule corollaries, and a guest appearance by West Coast Correspondent Deborah. Adolis > Aaron, Mark Vientos comes up and Yahoo won’t let Patti capitalize on that, Seiya is turning a corner, and Bryce Miller scores an emergency fantasy draft. Deborah and Jayson Stark do a deep dive into the state of the new rules, and if the A’s are bad, or Spider-bad. Liam Hendriks brings the love through food trucks. We take an upstream look at the Dodgers vs.The Sisters debacle. Zac Gallen channels Randy Johnson in the worst way, and we revisit Sticky vs. Tacky on the occasion of Domingo Germán’s suspension. Deborah is going to buy this shirt, you might want to, too. Congratulations, Pottymouth, Jr.
