No Crying In Baseball

Here’s to believing that Pottymouth’s picks for LAA and MIA are men from Florida and not Florida Man. Patti avoids the potential pitfall by concentrating on California instead and exploring the ongoing Taylor vs Tyler naming conventions. We are flabbergasted that Aroldis F’n Chapman can still get a job and this Maura McGurk piece explains it better than we can. We workshop some approaches for a confrontation between Pottymouth and AF’nC such as, “I’m a schoolteacher. How do you explain yourself to my students?” There’s a new MLBPA Executive Committee in place and it is just as pitcher-y and boyfriend-y as always. Plus bonus potential kerfuffle. Patti takes a moment to put public funding for Vegas and St. Pete ballparks into perspective. Japanese pitching legend Ayami Sato becomes the first woman to play baseball professionally in Canada. Our police blotter touches on the civil suit around Tyler Skagg’s death, Shohei’s baseball cards, and the ridiculous Golden At Bat rule that was just floated for the heck of it. Check out our bonus content on the Jonrón Derby over on Patreon.

We say, “Catholics know this word,” “It’s all a scene down in the basement,” and “You don’t want loose bodies.” 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.

You Know What They Say About Florida Men

A 26 year old is a forever Met and is $765 Million richer. A 10 year old is a forever Freddie fan and his parents can send him to college. CHI is making some moves with Kyle and Carson, and TOR is just getting started wth Andres. We introduce our guys from the no-City-designation Athletics and our Washington Nationals, including some goofy, some hot start, some local boy makes good, and some of the best kind of scandal. Winter ball brings us cherry blossom pink, home run derbies in paradise, and celebratory cartwheels. It’s not strictly legal but you too can own part of the Trop. And congrats to Tom Hamilton, and here’s hoping he’s “underway at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario!" for years to come.

We say, “We both had cocktails and it was not going to go anywhere useful,” “he did a lot of putting his mouth before where his money was for a while,” and “that is what always happened to me with that f’in curse jar.” 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.

Bonus Episode: The Sports Appraiser

Pottymouth and Patti (but not Patti’s voice), take you into a holiday week with boyfriends from Toronto and Pittsburgh. While Pottymouth finds those MA connections, Patti looks at the cooks. Cody Bellinger goes to the Yankees, just like dear old dad, but we are more interested in his girlfriend as a serial MVP dater. MLB releases their report on pitcher injuries – the bottom line is, fault is everywhere except at the pitch clock. There are no more Guarantees at the CWS ballpark, and the public funding for the Rays park keeps rolling.

Sultry for Christmas

Happy New Year, Friends! We’ve got Mookie going full Pottymouth, Carlos with extremely bad but a little funny real estate issues, and Shohei letting us cross train with Babe Didrikson. Our TEX boyfriends include a Duran upgrade and a small town boy making good, and CIN brings us a viking and an NBA smackdown. The umpires’ union says sure to the electronic strike zone, and Dave Kaval cuts and runs from the Athletics. Yadi is rocking that LIDOM manager gig, Rougie is player of the week, and there’s still time to book your travel for the Serie del Caribe.

We say LeBron James more than once, “I’m already on my second Ezequiel of the season,” and “bring your half-dog, half-human mythical mash-ups.” 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.

Nothing Says the New Year Like Pineapple Rum

Not the opening line to a joke, but an intro to our Rays boyfriends. In addition to our TB infielders, we introduce you to our SF guys, where we find sexy defense and too many puns. The hot stove is pretty pitcher-centric with the Subject of our Sentence going to BAL for a year and the long term solution to ARI. Roki Sasaki is enjoying his film festival while evaluating offers from possibly 20 teams. LIDOM is full of winter ball star power and the Cardinales are rocking the LVBP. We cross train with the Presidential Medal of Freedom which brings us a billionaire baseball owner, an NBA legend, and the most decorated soccer player, in addition to our favorite chef and everyone’s favorite Science Guy. Thanks to our generous Patreon friends, we are able to make transcripts available. They are at the Patreon site, but available for free without membership fees (but we do appreciate your support!).

A Gentleman and a Walker

Justin, Freddie, and Chris are putting their money where their hearts are to support those fighting the LA wildfires, and those who have lost their homes. You can help too, through the LA Strong collaboration. We lay out all things arbitration deadline for you — who came out on top, and who has the biggest gap remaining. Boyfriends this week are from the Red Sox, where Pottymouth makes good on a promise, and the Cubs, where Patti gets to cross-train with hockey. Juan Soto comes to town to meet young Dominican fan Leonardo Santana, whose video of his living conditions, and his love for Soto, was amplified by Jompéame and became the focus for fundraising in cases of extreme poverty. The family of late Padres owner Peter Seidler looks at the O’s Angelo family and says hold my beer. MLB bans the NYY fans who interfered with Mookie during a World Series game from all things major league baseball, forever.

We say, “The Doogie Houser of baseball,” “Your offense is really talking like a pirate,” and, “buckle the f*&K up.” 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.

Cross-training That Metaphor

It’s how the Dodgers signed Sasaki -- well, that and acing their homework assignment. Patti invented a fennel-clementine-gin cocktail in the comfort of her own home, and Pottymouth enjoyed local brews in the great state of MA, and yet we still found the time to tell you stories of boyfriends on the Twins and the Cards. LA Strong continues to happen with wildfire relief actions at Dodger stadium, and the generous donations of Ohtani and others. Jake makes his new jersey number matter and Matt shows why should never challenge an elite athlete to, well, anything really. Pottymouth is killing it in Winter Ball with her picks going to the finals in both the Dominican and Venezuelan leagues. And RIP to Mr. Baseball.

We say, “we saw those tight pants in action,” “What’s an unshady way of saying in cahoots?” and, “He chugged with the style of someone on the video board at a hockey game.” 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.

Wining, DIning, Sushi-fying

It was a helluva week. We do get to the baseball but we take a moment to remind you every day is a good day to join the resistance, and do what you can from where you are. Congrats to the new Hall of Fame class, but is Ichiro rewarding the wrong voter with a drink and a chat? Max and Christian provide an unforgettable afternoon for Little League families in fire-plagued Encino, and Jurickson, Anthony, and Charlie get new gigs. Meet our boyfriends on the Mariners and D’backs. Ippei Mizuhara’s crime gets even nuttier, and yet another young baseball fan turns a special baseball memento into a solid college fund. Winter ball winds up at the country level as we move into Caribbean Series mode. And there’s just a little crosstraining from the Ohio girl/hockey fan.

We say, “I’ve seen the Sound of Music, I know what fascism looks like,” “be a human billboard,” and, “A daily reminder that I have some power, and it's not just the power of cayenne.” 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 Packet of Resist

We’re in the middle of the arbitration window and of course we are keeping score. Find your way to honor Black History Month – maybe with a visit to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum while the Royals are picking up the tab. Meet our boyfriends with the Tigers and the Hammers, including superheroes, little brothers, and donuts. Pottymouth rides the success of her Winter Ball teams and bf picks right on in to the Serie del Caribe. The Padres do not disappoint with the continuing soap opera, and we get a closer peek at the lucky 11 year old who drew the Paul Skenes debut patch card. Heart of gold and so very eleven.

We say, “bocce is my new coping mechanism,” “we haven’t had a Cuban defection story in a while,” and “That sounds like a lacrosse player.” 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.

Arbitration is Not an Affectionate Process

Oliveras has a 50-year history in baseball as a player, coach, and manager. He has worked with teams in Puerto Rico, Mexico, and MLB. He shares stories of the early days of Alex Cora, Dave Martinez, and Daniel Murphy.
