Brandon and Phil celebrate another great week for the boys in teal, dunk on the Angels, predict how the roster will look on 9/1, decide how the Mariners got here, and prognosticate how the whole Shohei thing is going to go.

In our back to school episode, we distract Pottymouth from work stress with conversation about inclusive condiment races and Fenway/Dodgers East reunions. Mookie, Kiké, and the gang never disappoint. Cal Raleigh is quietly racking up records and personal bests. Trea proves the power of fan support. Luke can run fast if he has to but it's not his first choice. José Iglesias takes a reggaeton star turn. So much pitcher churn with Stras retiring, Shohei out with the arm but in with the bat, The Rock stepping in for The Mountain, and #1 draft pick Paul Skenes filling the stands in Altoona. The City of San Francisco shows how to celebrate and elevate girls baseball, and Stella Weaver sets records in the LLWS. Our Police Blotter covers mysterious gunshot wounds at the Chicago White Sox game, and an overwhelmingly concerning absence of consent rocking international women’s soccer.

Fresh off a wedding (not to each other), Phil and Brandon reunite to discuss baseball's hottest team. They recap an insane last three weeks, dive deep into Julio's blistering surge, put some respeck on Justin Topa's name, and answer a very important question: does this team have the juice?

In their most Creed-heavy episode to date, Phil and Brandon discuss "Country Roads" emergence into the season and other Mariners' news and notes. Then they get rate this season on a 1-10 scale, break down what's wrong with our large adult son Jarred, and check in on how well MLB's rule changes are working so far.
Notes:
Crosstraining with Games 7 provides the opportunity to revisit both grammar and the “gear algorithm.” Vocabulary lessons include “hamate excision,” “batter’s eye,” and “cheezstayk” (which Patti objects to on many levels). Pottymouth’s trip to Philadelphia includes a great showing by Patti’s former bfs (Castellanos, Pache, and Marsh), an Aquaman sighting, and beer as souvenirs because it is always the right size. Yu Chang is about to obtain superpowers, Corbin Carroll has super speed, and LA has something super as there are a large number of Little Tiny Dodgers. Patti’s bfs Raleigh and Raley are not only alliterative, but also repetitive with the homers. Our Police Blotter includes suspicious edits, a pottymouth but not in a good way, and an opportunity to say “run it out.” Pottymouth is all about the Mexico series, especially swag bags, and the Padres and Giants spending time out in the community, but MLB expansion there is not likely.
We say “I wish there were more Pucker,” “zombie apocalypse,” and “he only wears his shirt unbuttoned one button but it feels like more.” Get boosted, fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Phil and Brandon run through nine lists of nine topics to preview this Mariners season. The lists were: Mariners baseball storylines we're interested in, Mariners non-baseball storylines we're interested in, MLB storylines we're interested in, guys who might be Mariners by August, prospects set to enjoy a big year, statistics that will define this year, things we'll be frustrated by this year, reasons to be optimistic about Jarred Kelenic, and, most importantly, the best looking Mariners.
Notes:
Much ado about Manny Machado as he announces intent to opt out of his contract next year, has a cameo in Pottymouth’s bf conversation and a full on support role in Patti’s. Patti picked Ha-Seong Kim as her SD bf only partially to say nice things about Manny. Pottymouth goes all young, dynamic Dominican players this week by continuing with Juan Soto as her once and forever for SD, and selecting ROY Julio Rodriguez for SEA (which causes us to purchase tickets to a women’s soccer game because we cross-train). Patti seems to have a thing for switch-hitting catchers, evidenced by her selection of Cal Raleigh as her SEA bf. Most pitchers and catchers reported last week, with some notable exceptions, and arbitration concludes with teams winning over players 13-6. CWS minor leaguer Anderson Comas comes out via Instagram, in two languages. Mike Clevenger defends himself in Spring Training media interviews, to the extent he is allowed. Patti aces the pop quiz on WBC trivia, Waino and Yadi tease us with big competitive fun, and the Czech WBC team shows heart by sharing baseball skills with kids from local orphanages.

The Mariners are ALDS-bound and Phil and Brandon are reunited to rehash Saturday's epic comeback in Toronto. They use the McMahon Meme scale to demonstrate their excitement through the key moments of the game, look ahead to Houston (for as long as Brandon will let them), and think about who will throw the first pitch when the Mariners host their first playoff game since 2001.
Notes:
Fresh off the M's 4-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 1 of the ALWS, Brandon hops on to provide roughly 15 minutes of reaction commentary.
