It’s that part of the season where records are falling, injuries are career changing, and so many playoff berths are still in play. Corbin Carroll and Julio Rodriguez are knocking down milestones for the young folks, Freddie Freeman shows for the older crowd, and Ronald Acuña Jr. is in a category all his own. Joey Votto uses his French (or French accent?  We don’t know!) for the Children’s Theater of Cincinnati. Mark Vientos is heating up for the Hapless Mets at the same time Tommy Pham slams the team for their work ethic. Non-lawyer Pottymouth provides an intro to Immigration Law 101 in the context of Brusdar Graterol’s mother finally able to travel from Venezuela to see her son pitch for the first time in seven years. Patron saint of the show, Sean Doolittle, announced his retirement and remains a role model for using his celebrity to support and give voice to marginalized and under-represented communities. The St. Pete Rays announced a not-quite-but-close  agreement to stay in St. Pete, incorporating “intentional equity initiatives” including affordable housing, minority/women-owned business hiring commitments and a boatload of public funding. TIckets are on sale for  Dominican baseball at Citifield in November and the Eurobaseball Championship is happening  now  in the Czech Republic.

Pat McCarthy spoke to Mets third baseman Mark Vientos after the Mets beat the Reds 8-4.

Pat McCarthy sits down with a Mets youngster in Mark Vientos to discuss how he feels he has developed during his time in the big leagues along with how his confidence has grown as he has played more games this season.

As the trade deadline crashes down, Pottymouth kries for Kiké returning to the LAD, and Patti plots to wrangle Max away from The Kids’ fantasy team now that he’s a Ranger. The Mets fire sale may help Mark VIentos get regular playing time. Juan’s injured middle finger keeps going up and down, just like Pottymouth’s. Ha Seong Kim has sneaky WAR. We strongly suggest a broadcast future for Joey Votto when he’s ready for a career change. International baseball is coming to us! In November, Citi Field will welcome LIDOM’s Aguilas Cibaeñas vs. Tigres de Licey for three games, and Miami will host the Serie del Caribe in February.  Plenty of time to request leave. Rob Manfred is never leaving – teams voted to extend his contract as commissioner until 2029. Bad for As, good for killing the blackout.  We are grateful for the lovely gifts sent to us by friends of the show, and those of you who donated to Proud to Be in Baseball in honor of our 300th episode. Congrats to Anna on your prize package!

Pottymouth convinces Patti that Jason Momoa is thematic because Samoan and because Jorge Alfaro. We’ve got boyfriends on the Guardians and the Mets. Max messes with the pitch clock rules, the Red Sox mess with shift rules, and the Os and Pirates don’t need no stinkin’ badges.

Cleveland girl Patti  is so happy to talk Guardian boyfriends, and of course she and Pottymouth pick gold glove outfield  pals – Pottymouth with breakout star Steven Kwan, and Patti with literally jumping  to Kwan’s  defense Myles Straw. Over at the Mets, Pottymouth bets on the sexy defense of Luis Guillorme, and Patti selects Escobar protege Mark Vientos. Former bf Kiké shares a most embarrassing moment, and Jayme Hoskins brings the plus  one to Patti’s former pick of  Rhys. Ronnie Gajownik gets a bench coach shot at Dbacks spring training, and the Red Sox bring Taylor Jackson on as a single A on-field coach. Vladdy has to back out of the WBC, still leaving a loaded line up behind on the DR team. Duran and Verdugo present a country report on Mexico, and the X-Man has us on the  hunt for honkballer swag. We crosstrain with the NHL, profiling some pride  nights done right, from the solid C of the Ottawa Senators and their T shirt rainbow of an arena, to the A+ of the Anaheim Ducks, from the jersey design involvement of long-time in-house organist, Lindsay Imber, incorporating community organizations, fundraising, thematic giveaways, and visible involvement of team  members.
