Today’s episode features a surprising number of references to Roberto Clemente, awkward puns, and post-production inserts. Pottymouth goes full Criollos for this week’s boyfriend picks – Vimael Machín for Oakland and no-no catcher Victor Caratini for the Padres. Patti’s A’s guy is Skye Bolt for many reasons that are not his name, and exercises her once a year forever boyfriend option on Padre Jake Cronenworth. Pottymouth and Big Papi both give Boston writer Dan Shaughnessy crap for his HoF snub. The Police Blotter features Angel Hernandez and a Petco Park tragedy. Winter ball championships are winding up in time for the Serie del Caribe, starting January 28th. Tampreal was never going to happen. We say “omicrony,” “did you just squirt the cat?” and “I can’t believe I didn’t say Schwah-bah.”

Your over-stimmed hosts have been to a ballpark and you can hear it in our scratchy voices. Charlie Blackmon helps us explain why Coors Field is a pretty good choice for the All Star Game. Joe Musgrove finally earns the Padres their first no-hitter, and we learn he, like us, enjoys a nice IPA but also a disturbing amount of chewing gum. Victor Caratini gets some well-deserved love too. The Cleveland pitchers are hot right now too, and Patti gives little brother Logan Allen a promotion to top bf on the squad. Pottymouth appreciates Kiké’s hip swivel, or is it a wiggle? Patti cheers Ian Happ’s blackout rant. It turns out some of our boyfriends are criminals, but not in a bad way. In Dodger news, Will Smith is no longer the Fresh Prince, the World Series rings came with tiny movies, and David Price donates his ring to the Player’s Alliance. Conversations around COVID vaccines expose a whole new group of wingnuts in the baseball community, and we learn fun facts about the COVID IL.

Our Police Blotter features the Mets walk-off that shouldn’t have been, Grizzly taco tragedy, Bauer’s balls, and Domingo Germán. Justine Siegal gets colleges to commit to women playing baseball, the UniLions bring up a hot prospect, and baseball starts soon in Spain. Hotmess Baseball Mom leads the Fantasy Boyfriend Baseball League this week. We try to rationalize Denizen’s Georgia Avenue Sour and margaritas counting as fruits, and say neener-neener a surprising amount. 

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