Christopher Morel, Spencer Torkelson, and Patti, are all too sexy for their shirts. Even if he doesn’t want them, Max keeps racking up the personal accomplishments. Kyle continues to own Nats Park, Bobby and Julio are two of a kind, Luis is all about the slam, and the 1983 WS MVP is all about Adley. Our Police Blotter is all Wander, who has been firmly placed on the NCiB’s no-fly list, while we wait for the various investigations to decide on the rest of his future. Gunnar got to choose between the cycle and his first four extra-base hit game, and he chose the team. Who then threw up their hands in disbelief that he ignored the cycle. The follow up on the cameraman Gunnar beaned hard with an errant throw is all good, even after he shared his prostate cancer diagnosis on top of the orbital bone fracture.  Lessons to be learned on what’s important in life. We crosstrain with Women’s World Cup soccer and Pottymouth decides England’s keeper is a keeper.

How can we *not* talk about Fight Club when it features dueling BFs? Patti’s former CLE BF Jose Ramirez clocks Patti’s former CWS BF and Down Goes Anderson. Mayhem clears the way for unexpected debut circumstances and a wild time to hear the SpongeBob theme. Patti and Pottymouth’s excellent adventure takes us to Cooperstown where we spend a Sunday at the Church of Baseball.  Loved the Hall of Fame, but surprising no one, we have notes. Luis Urias heads to the Red Sox, which seems like a good fit, freeing up #2 on the Brewers for Brice Turang who hits a 3 run homer his first game with the new number that honors his dad. The Heart and Hustle (NCiB Boyfriend Awards) nominees are announced, and include current picks Corbin Carroll and Ha Seuong Kim, and ironically, Jose Ramirez and Tim Anderson. Harrison Bader makes a guest appearance in our girls in  baseball segment, congratulating Alexa Cardona on her velocity and accuracy beaning her County Executive on the back of the head during the 4th of July parade from 100 feet away. Curtis Mead became the 34th Australian to play in MLB when he was called up to the Rays on Friday. Domingo Germán leads our Police Blotter by going on the restricted list while he attends inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse after clubhouse belligerence. Thank you A’s fans for your 5th inning Sell the Team chant. The Women’s Baseball World Cup Group A games begin and you can stream them! We share ballpark rules that we never thought we’d have to talk about.  Please remember that ballplayers are on the job when they are at the game, and don't owe you anything besides playing their best game.

We say “Our travel tips are totally worth the admission price to this podcast,” “ How many hahas do you need to finish your Brou?” and, “I would like a team nap room.”  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.

Now is the time, Atlanta. Honor Hank Aaron and eliminate your problematic baseball team name in one fell swoop. Hammerin’ Hank deserves it.  Kiké Hernandez and George Springer highlight the hot stove this week. The Mets fire Jared Porter for his abusive treatment of a female sports journalist (dick pics and out of control unsolicited texting). Good on ya, Steve Cohen, but next time include some women in your vetting and you can avoid the bad hire to begin with. Jessica Mendoza gives excellent context. We crosstrain with professional hockey in which the women act to end racism and the men just can’t follow health protocols.

We tiptoe back to the Astros in our boyfriend segment where Pottymouth selects Winter Ball favorite Jose Siri and Patti hopes for a comeback for 2019 Rookie of the Year Yordan Alvarez. Over in Milwaukee (dammit, Packers) Pottymouth chooses Luis Urías as her Brewers boyfriend, watching for the moment when his hamate-surgery induced superpowers kick in.  Patti hopes for a comeback for 2018 MVP and her current once and forever boyfriend, Christian Yelich.  There’s a boyfriend-laden Venezuelan home run derby and so much more in Winter Baseball. Also, there is delicious Silver Branch beer in a variety of Wicked Weed barware.
