New rules are coming and we’ve got the details and so many opinions. The new minor league union is coming, and we’ve got details and entirely predictable opinions. Pottymouth cheers on Edmundo Sosa’s turnaround, an historic battery, and as always, Kiké. Patti’s bf Lars Nootbaar makes the police blotter a happy place, and Adley continues to make baseball a happy place.  It’s time to vote for your choice of our past baseball boyfriends for the Roberto Clemente award. Someone please send Pottymouth a Sababoy plushie. We say “five hole,” “the pepper grinder was unsanctioned,” and “yay, old guys!”  And Terry Francona says “lift and separate.”

Forced to find the good in the Yankees, Pottymouth is clearly won over by new BF Estevan Florial. Patti gives the nod to impeccably groomed Giancarlo Stanton and his “fricking forearms.” For the Cardinals, Pottymouth flies like an eagle with Edmundo “Mundito” Sosa and Patti cheers Noots-not-boos for Lars Nootbaar. We note that it is the lockout, not CBA negotiations, forcing a delay in spring training games and we catch you up on the latest proposals. We ponder the sheer size of the deal Juan Soto turned down, and wish Mr. Walk-off well. In our Police Blotter, the testimony of Matt Harvey and other players blows open the story of widespread drug use in major league baseball, while Eric Kay is found guilty of supplying the pills resulting in the death of Tyler Skaggs. We share a fashion moment from the minors and take a stand for televising women’s sports. We say Haitian/Dominican political situation, trans flag, and deep down I'm Ironman.
