Tigers' young players flashed exceptional potential at MLB level in '23. The latest podcast by Pat Caputo with Evan Jankens. 

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.

We say, “We’re at that point in the season where we say ‘We’re at that point in the season,” “toe to row, hoe to row, row to hoe,” and “Why not use your Mets ticket to see Shohei Ohtani?” 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.

Say goodnight, Pottymouth.

Pottymouth goes full teacher and provides an apology teaching moment with both the Brockton Rox and Alex Cora. Patti goes teacher wannabe trying to get Pottymouth to say “uniform” and not “outfit.” We review the ASG uniforms, selections, and how All Star rosters get there. There are a lot of brothers facing off in MLB, including some boyfriends and guest appearances by significant others and a cat. Spencer listens to Miggy but not Dad, and TEX does not listen to us regarding RP acquisitions. Please help Patti get a commemorative “I Drank From the World’s Largest Old Fashioned” glass from the Madison Mallards. Crosstraining this week is with the NHL as they and the NHLPA announce their Player Inclusion Commision. Help us celebrate our upcoming 300th episode by donating to Proud To Be In Baseball, and we may reward you with a prize.

Tigers' farm system is making progress, as well. The latest podcast on drafts, prospects and the future from Pat Caputo with Evan Jankens.

Our third annual season finale awards show, The Sportys. We award "Golden Peaches" to the winning "Legendees" in a record-breaking eight unique categories this year. Who do you think won Jabroni of the Year in 2022?

As you might expect, Patti and the Pottymouth spend Christmas night talking baseball, fact-checking “The Chanukah song,” and drinking gin and tonickas. We cannot avoid the Carlos Correa kerfuffle, but we off-set it with other players on the move and Aaron Judge’s Rolex. We introduce our Tigers and Reds boyfriends: Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson, Tyler Stephenson and Jose Barrero. It’s Christmas so why the heck not bring up disappointing Trevor Bauer news? And we get to the AirBnB part of the “should we go see World Baseball Classic games in Miami?” conversation.

We say “If I’m gonna be injured, they are too,” “Vine lives with MySpace and the extra socks you lose in the dryer,” and “If you open the beer, I’ll stop talking.” Get boosted, 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.

This week the boys start their headlines by talking about the ongoing Fire Tony! chants in Chicago as well as Riley Greene's debut week, Ohtani's monster game and the unfortunate Mookie Betts injury. Afterwards, they welcome the return of the Forgotten Series! In this season's first episode they cover a player that was once labeled "The Can't Miss Kid" when he was coming up: Rick Ankiel. What happened to this once promising pitcher turned outfielder? The boys round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner.

This week the boys start the show with talking about the Yankees winning streak. Don't hate us... They look to be the best team in the league. Is it for real? Home Runs are down so far. Is this good for baseball or bad? Why is the league doctoring the ball? The boys dive in. News came down this week about Trevor Bauer's two-year suspension. This is likely a death sentence for his career. After, the boys discuss manager Dusty Baker getting his 2,000th win. This asks the question: is he a top-10 manager of all-time now? We are now a little over a month into the season, which brings overreactions galore. Is Mike Trout going to win his 4th MVP? Is Eric Hosmer going to have a career year? Are the White Sox's and Tigers' rebuilds in trouble? The boys answer this and more. They round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner.

In this episode, I am joined by New Orleans Pelicans head coach Stan Van Gundy. He's passionate about his young team but he's also not afraid to speak out on many other hot-button issues.
