Jackie Robinson Day came and went with Kareem calling out the President’s attack on DEI (although we don’t think it is a ruse for segregation, we think it *is* segregation), Mookie saying some hard truths about the LAD at the White House, and the commissioner saying some weak things and making questionable visits. Pottymouth got the Puk out of there and told us of fast boys, Patti’s flock is making with the Ks and she tells us how math works. Miranda has a bad day set to good tunes. Jazz stars in the police blotter (kids, put away the phones when you are supposed to put away the phones). Someone is crocheting for Crochet and weirdly it’s not Patti. MIN sponsors a Queer Women in Sports panel! PIT makes sure all those folks standing around for hours for a Skenes bobblehead go home happy, and the captain is the captain.

We say, “You wanted the Puk, yeah!! But you got the Puk, no!” “Church of Baseball,” and “Maybe this is a lesson that you should get a filter and save the environment.” 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.

So many catchers in this snack size episode. We’ve got pinky injuries, rolled ankles, welcome back dingers with glasses, and only dingers against Toronto. The Orioles help build an outdoor classroom at Harlem Park Elementary with a donated playoff share, and players fill its library with their own favorite books. Pottymouth is well aware that she should roster her NYY bf but you can’t take the Boston out of the fantasy team manager. What happened to Mike Trout is NOT what happened to Mookie Betts, it’s not against the rules, but please stop doing it anyway. Duran is missing a huge opportunity to atone for past mistakes and change lives, but nope. Please read this piece by Kevin Blackstone in the Washington Post about the team of Jackie Robinson visiting the Trump White House. We would have just ranted, but he just lays it all out there, calm, cool, and cutting. Pottymouth walks us through all the connections between the tragic roof collapse of the Dominican nightclub and so many MLB players. Patti picks “person in front of whom all ideas for alternate team identities must be run before selection” as her next career. The River Cats/Gold Diggers really put her over. Puerto Rico looks like the only place we can stand to visit for WBC games – want to join us?

We say, “Rivaling this on the classy scale…” “Honorable mention to a non-croucher,” and “That’s so much more concise for all those words I just said…” 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.

The reason torpedo bats are a thing is because they are not called bowling pin bats. Patti catches you up on all things torpedo. It seems like all the cool kids are getting contact extensions and we float a few more contenders. Pottymouth wants to complete her Walker set and Patti just wants a complete infield. Profar is a deep disappointment, and Ian Happ is still making us coffee 1000 games later. It’s that episode where we make our terrible predictions but we can’t not. Once again one of your hosts goes with heart and the other one wants to not lose. The WooSox give us Women in Sports Day proving we should never need to hear “Ladies Night” at a ballpark again. Kelsie goes for another first, and you’ve got an Eastern Womens Baseball Conference reading assignment. Pottymouth models how to constructively deal when terrible humans end up on your favorite team. Also, sell your Tesla.

We say, “he kept losing his patron saint of travel,” “You tell me you don’t have any tattoos but I don’t believe you,” and, “Some of our best friends are Canadians with basements.” 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.
