The Royals lock down
Bobby Witt, Jr. for 11 years, and HOU says yes to Jose Altuve for another five. The
arbitration scoreboard is currently tipped in the players’ direction at the halfway point, including a record-setting win for Vladdy. We wish
Corey Kluber all the best in his retirement, Patti with much happier memories than those of Pottymouth. This week we look at Toronto, where Pottymouth selects
Kevin Kiermaier with a really we haven’t picked him yet, and Patti highlights
Davis Schnieder partly for getting to say “dirtbags” but mostly for the glove story. Happy birthday to ARI catcher and new Pottymouth pick
Gabriel Moreno, and Patti’s aiming for the clouds outfielder,
Alek Thomas. We discuss the comedy/tragedy possibilities with the new
Netflix series following the Red Sox. Our police blotter features no work for
Billy Eppler this year for playing fast and loose with the IL, and
teachers keep on poking at the public funding for the A’s Vegas ballpark.
Mayors of both Oakland and Las Vegas gang up on A’s ownership. The Serie de Caribe set more attendance records, featured a
no-hitter, lots of pod favorites on the field and in the stands, and a championship to Venezuela.
