It’s good to be a 10 year old baseball fan right now, if you are near Joey Votto, Yu Darvish, or Melanie Newman. We've got BFs chasing history, a pairing of fine whiskey and Soto Shuffles, Hunter stirring the pot, crosstraining with the Premier Hockey Federation, and donuts. We say “Old and in the gutter,” “maple bar with bacon,” “ratio of happy to sh**ty,” and “Happy Birthday” to Pottymouth’s dad.
Show Notes
Continental treasure
Joey Votto, Yu Darvish, and
Melanie Newman show us how to grow the game by focusing on the kids. It’s good to be a 10 year old baseball fan right now. Patti gifts Pottymouth a link to supercuts of the
Soto Shuffle, because it goes well with whiskey and she deserves it.
Ryan Mountcastle,
Marcus Semien, and
Wander Franco chase some history.
Hunter Renfroe’s sexy defense gets overshadowed by his assertions that MLB told the Red Sox to stop COVID testing, which the league denies, redundantly, and the team does not, particularly. MLB lags behind other professional sports leagues in vaccination rates, surprising really no one.
Our police blotter has a lot of
Ozuna and just a little
Bauer. Oracle Park workers are signing up for picket duty in case conditions don’t improve at this Giants home stand. MLB’s Grit program is seeking out the
best girl baseball players for participation in elite trainings and tournaments at the same time SABR’s Women in Baseball Conference is awarding the annual “Dorothy” to acclaimed sports journalist
Claire Smith, the first woman MLB beat writer. We crosstrain with the sport formerly known as women’s hockey, now the
Premier Hockey Federation -- no labels, no limits.
We say “Old and in the gutter,” “
maple bar with bacon,” “ratio of happy to shitty,” and “Happy Birthday” to Pottymouth’s dad.
