Show Notes
Stop touching your face. It would be irresponsible not to discuss the intersection of the coronavirus and baseball, so we do. Games have not yet been affected, but some teams are requiring players at
Spring Training to pre-sign baseballs and cards under controlled conditions in the clubhouse, to be distributed to fans, rather than sharing pens and passing objects back and forth. Clean club houses and chartered planes will protect
young, healthy players, but good luck finding 6’ of space between fans on Opening Day. As a
public service we share CDC information about how facial hair affects one’s ability to safely wear a respirator. Hint: The Yankees, like cockroaches, will live on, while Dallas Keuchel and Justin Turner will have to adapt to survive.
After some soul-searching, Patti and the Pottymouth go ahead with Houston Asterisk boyfriends, but limit themselves to guys who did not play on the 2017 team. Patti selects
Abraham Toro, he of the three languages and hero of the Verlander no-no. Pottymouth introduces
Jeremy Joan Peña, who is so distanced from he scandal he may not even get to the show this year. The Angels loss is Patti’s gain as
Joc Pederson stays a Dodger and makes Patti’s list. Pottymouth doth protest too much with her
Max Muncy pick, but she can go get that out of the ocean.
