Andrew Bogush recaps a game where Mark Canha opened the scoring for the Mets with a solo home run but that's all they would get as their bats were stifled by a strong start from Mitch Keller who only allowed 2 hits over 7 innings of work as the Mets fall by a final score of 2-1.

While  Pottymouth takes in an As game with our west coast pals, Patti holds the fort with guest host, and avid softball fan, Avery. Avery recaps the glory that is the champion Oklahoma Sooners softball team, led by star coach Patty Glasso and reminds us of the joy of watching action-packed college softball. In boyfriend news we praise Adley’s bat but worry about his qHar, praise Mark Canha and Taijuan Walker for their support of Pride Night, and sneak in Junior Pottymouth’s praise for Manny Machado’s milestone while Pottymouth isn’t looking.

Maybelle Blair makes us happy, not so much the Brewers new City Connect unis. The Mets engage about minor league conditions, and the NYT comes down hard on The Athletic. We recap some off the joy that is summer collegiate baseball and WAIT! Pottymouth breaks in with a surprise interview with friend of the show  Braden, and Braden’s mom (!) from the Oakland Coliseum.

We say “toot her own boyfriend horn,” “If you’re going to put in all that effort…make it cute,” and “the unifying emotion is mortification.”

Pottymouth narrows the field to white guy bat flippers for her boyfriends this week.  For the As, she picks big league foodie Mark Cahna, and for the Padres, the man on the wrong end of our favorite play ever witnessed in person, Trent Grisham. Patti goes for utility and puns with her picks.  Chad Pinder wins her over for the As with his work with special needs kids, and “that Cronenworth guy”, Jake Cronenworth for the Padres.

COVID numbers look good around the league, some ballparks are planning on fans in the stands, and some former boyfriends make bad decisions. Eduardo Rodriguez, and his recovering heart, makes his first post-COVID start.  MLB designates June 2 as Lou Gehrig Day. Sam Dyson’s season-long suspension headlines our police blotter this week, but Mickey Calloway is now a regular there.

The University of Rochester welcomes catcher Beth Greenwood as the second woman to play NCAA Division 3 baseball.  Puerto Rico’s womens baseball league doubles in size -- follow Edwin Hernández to keep tabs on that. Opening Day approaches for our favorite breakfast baseball, the CPBL. Maybe Daniel Kim can help us watch KBO games this year. Patti works “gerrymandering” into the conversation.

Wash your hands, wear your masks, watch your distance, get your vaccine as soon as you can, and fight the man.

A's outfielder Mark Canha joins Ben to share his thoughts on this strange MLB season, Oakland's postseason chances, and his own development as a hitter. Canha also discusses his time in Berkeley as a member of the Cal Bears as well as his passion for food and cooking, and perhaps most importantly, his problem with duvets and duvet covers.
