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.

Músico, cantautor, poeta, animal de la vida bohemia y emprendedor de la noche subterránea, Gabriel Moreno también planea convertirse, muy pronto, en escritor de prosa autobiográfica, con la publicación de su primera novela.

Londres le debe a Gabriel la versión Inglesa de Poetry Brothel, y un número interesante de otras alternativas en las que la que, sin solemnidad alguna pero con un interesante dejo de cándida rebeldía, la noctámbula periferia urbana se encuentra con su lado más lírico y existencialista. Se encuentran. Se dan la mano. Se besan.

Gabriel nació y creció en Gibraltar – un trozo de mundo con una identidad divinamente sincrética – y Carla no dejó pasar la oportunidad de hurgar en las polaridades de su propia herencia familiar. Todo con la finalidad de intentar comprender como todas estas circunstancias pudieron haber sido el perfecto caldo de cultivo en la formación de un artista único, encantador, y en constante debate con el estatus quo.

Descubre en esta entrevista porque Londres le ama, por que la de Gabriel es una poesía con causa, y cómo Leonard Cohen, García Lorca, Jacques Cousteau y Fabrizio De André coexisten en su muy personal menú de referencias estilísticas y políticas.

Y ahora, disfruten la entrevista (y el tema acústico que Gabriel nos regaló!)
