  • We are taking a breath and figuring out how to start from where we are. We talk yet more nepo hires, remind you of what the heck a super 2 is, and cover the latest complication in how to just watch the home team play. The Roki Sasaki watch is the next big thing – we’ll help you with the international posting rules, the bonus pools, and why January 15th means big money. Rich Hill and a bunch more “remember some guys” guys have some fun in the Premier12, loanDepot park hosts another international baseball party that we can’t bring ourselves to attend, and Baseball United makes us say “I ain’t gonna play Sun City,” you know, as an example. The Girls Breakthrough Series gives us hope, and Maybell Blair.

    We say, “Florida, at this point, is a political cesspool,” “Could be a money grab, could be growing the game,” and “Baseball makes so much more sense than war.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on BlueSky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

  • It’s really happening, the Women’s Professional Baseball League is underway, looking for owners, broadcast deals, and prepping to draft a year from now. Sure, that World Series thing also happened, with Freddie doing all the things, the kid getting the special thing, the Hall of Fame getting the rest of the things, and the LAD flying to the parade on the Patriots AirKraft. Award season begins with the Gold Glove, and Salvy winning the Roberto Clemente honor. The Giants make a nepo hire but maybe that’s okay? We highlight some free agents to watch, and tell you why winter ball just got even more fun. Pottymouth follows the Queerfancystats model of how to still root for your team with that guy on it, and details her donation formula for Boston Alliance of LGBTQ Youth. Happy Birthday, Pottymouth!

  • We say we don’t care but we talk ourselves into rooting for LAD because of sandwiches, some boyfriend math, and general disdain for the NYY. The dads check in – putting Freddie’s last few months in perspective, remembering childhood dreams, and dancing with the other dads. We lost Fernando Valenzuela last week and Pottymouth gives us some context, some history, and some appreciation. And not for nothing, brings up housing policy. The MLBPA Players Choice Awards foreshadow the big ones. We consider the interpreter version of the Mendoza Line and are still working out if it is the Roberts or the Lasorda line. So many familiar faces in winter ball – baseball does not stop when the Series is over! And the Rays evaluate new sites for opening day.

  • As it turns out, the LAD vs NYY World Series is not *everyone’s* dream match up. Patti and Pottymouth are baseball sad, but yet we persevere. Kyle Manzardo and Tommy Edman show up big, the Temptations show up for Francisco Lindor, Pottymouth wants more chances for Oswaldo Cabrera to show up, and Patti wishes Mark Vientos showed up last year. Pottymouth directs your attention to International baseball in Taiwan, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic because 1) it’s fun, and 2) it’s not LAD vs NYY. And we return suspicious eyes to Baseball United again. Our police blotter looks at FanDuel making a deal for naming rights over the Bally Sports Network channels and MLB’s unclear intentions – do they not want sports gambling names on their “product” or are they just miffed they weren’t asked first? We are going to wallow, re-watch some classic Baltimore crime shows, maybe get some sleep, and probably end up watching the World Series anyway.

  • Join us as we check back in with Shalvah Lazarus, the DC Girls Baseball player who we last spoke with 300 episodes ago. What are the paths, the decisions, faced by young women who want to keep playing the game they love as they approach heading to college? RIP to Luis Tiant – so much more than just the wildest wind up ever. We sum up our playoff hopes with Patti’s hometown team and those guys that went from hapless to miracle. Dave Roberts proves to be manipulative and a disappointment. The Monkeys and Lions face off again in the CPBL playoffs. And the roof blows off the Trop. Special thanks to Mr. Pottymouth for stepping in as assistant producer this week.

  • We celebrate the last Jackson standing and lament that the good working people of the midwest cannot watch their teams play in the post season because they work for a living. Patti wants the LAD to be more NYY and get their fans in line. Kyle can’t stop breaking his own records and Bryson has a most excellent birthday even if the guys call him a cheap date. Pottymouth crosstrains with music and we are soto-shuffling and OMG remixing all over town. Buster and Tito get new gigs. Pete does not. What the actual hell with the dog whistle political ads during ballgames? And congrats to KarensKrew, winner of this year’s FBBL.

  • Oh friends, that’s it for the regular season! As we head into Wild(card) Week, Stone Garrett gets to have one great game, Elly messed with the early season math, and Phillies Daycare is immortalized on the wall of a bar. Nick goes all 162 on a dare, Kiké reminds Patti to get her eyes checked, and people are not showing their best selves over a historic home run ball. Tom Hanks and thousands of other As fans say goodbye to the Coliseum, many taking a piece with them. Some City Connects get retired, and so does Charlie Blackmon. Buckle up for the postseason! If the extra last-day is any indication, we’re in for a ride.

  • Elly breaks records, Bobby breaks records, and that Shohei guy says “hold my beer.” Jackson is not allowed to hold his beer until next year. We crosstrain with Caitlin Clark (and she cross-trains right back) and Green Day (Billy Joe uses his pottymouth powers for good). Teams are clinching their postseason berths and Patti reminds you why wildcard ranking matters. Pottymouth gets to welcome another Kyle into the fold and LaMonte has a homestand at an away series. Matt joins the dad strength club, while CJ gets sent down for too much time at a club. Barbara Gregorich is awarded 2024 Dorothy Seymour Mills Lifetime Achievement Award, and we learn the greatest acronym of all time.

  • Turns out, all the to-do about Kumar Rocker a few years back was worth the wait. Jackson Chourio gives us a 20-20-while-20 and Elly slams when we’re not watching. Non-zero chance of Shohei pitching in the off-season gets treated as a guarantee, while fans pay premiums for a chance to shag his HR #50. Evan Phillips gets a silver bobble and Yamamoto bring a silver lining. Justin Turner gets super powers from his child-decorated cleats in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness. Youngster Davis hits his 100th and talks slumps, and old guy Matt gets extended with a Buster-like contract. California treats Baseball for All right, there are turf wars in Sacramento, and Christopher Morel takes a day off for his high school graduation. Pottymouth honors Hispanic Heritage Month with a profile of Luis Miguel Castro, first Latin American player in MLB. Patti cross trains with the Washington Spirit and has the sunburn to prove it.

  • Patti and Pottymouth had the great joy of sitting down with Jean Fruth and Jeff Idelson, who are bringing their new film “See Her, Be Her,” to MLB Network between games two and three of this year’s World Series. “See Her, Be Her” profiles seven women baseball players in seven different parts of the world, and demonstrates the skill, perseverance, passion, and all-around badassery required to play the game they love. Jean and Jeff tell us about selecting the countries, the athletes, the stories to tell, and why film is the way to do it. We talk about “all these little channels of goodness happening” from Baseball for All to DC Girls Baseball, to Kelsie and Olivia, and being the first ones, to one day getting it all together to create a pipeline for girls and women to play at the highest levels. And how just maybe this film moves that process a little farther down the road. Follow up your listen with a visit to seeherbeher.com to watch the trailer and pre-order the companion book with Jean’s photos and essays by the players from the film and some others you may know.

  • Three out of nine Jacksons again get a mention, one for breaking the scoreboard, one for a moment with dad, and one for walking it off. Rich re-takes the hill, the Brewers have a Brewer and this stuff writes itself. We’ve got both a good Zach and an “infuriatingly good” Zach. Joe makes a deal, Michael makes a catch, and Liam makes friends at AAA. Junior and Manny have a moment, Edwin and Alexis wish they didn’t. Come back next week for a special interview with the producers and director of the new documentary, See Her, Be Her.

  • While we were sleeping, the Babe’s Called-shot jersey sold for $24million. Scott Servais? Fired. Jason Heyward? “Fired.” Joey Votto? Retired. Elly is better when we are not watching him, and Bobby is just good all the time. Salvy hangs with the neighborhood kids, and Shohei is his own kind of magic. Danny is scheduled to catch his own at-bat while the women tell the tale. And along with Orioles owner David Rubenstein, we cross train with the National Book Festival.

  • In this snack size episode, Maisie, our WAZE voice, co-hosts as we record while driving home after Patti and Pottymouth’s excellent adventure. We were billing our Great American Ballpark visit as a showdown between favorite shortstops, but alas Elly didn’t get the memo, nor did he get on base. Bobby did show his MVP chops however. PNC Park continues to be a thing of beauty although not so much the Pirates. We enjoyed two former Nats center fielders (Taylor and Robles) facing off for PIT and SEA. We rooted for the home teams, chatted with the locals, sampled some local beers, and narrowly escaped rainouts. As you might expect, we talk through the Duran apology and aftermath and Pottymouth provides a possible way to redemption. How about those Jacksons?

  • Sure there may be nine current MLB players named Jackson but we are only talking about two of them. Chourio takes a Henry Aaron stat, and every day is a homer Holliday anymore. Larry and Gavin Sheets share an unfortunate record but at least they have each other. Logan O’Hoppe celebrates his dad’s remission and helps many others in the process. Jack Flaherty and his mom come full circle. Mallory Swanson provides a spectacular opportunity for cross training. MLB has found the only way to get your hosts to a NASCAR track. And you will be deeply missed, Billy Bean.

  • Surprising no one, we talk about the unique stats of Kiké! And Bobby! We can’t help the exclamation points. We attempt to track the movements of our guys to new teams, to new positions in the batting order, and to the OBGYN. Jackson is doing Manny things, and we’re all over those Heart and Hustle winners. Here’s hoping Danny Jansen gets to play for both sides in the same game. Thanks, MLB for shining a light on the Women’s World Cup. Our Police Blotter is for real this time, and we cross train with the presidential campaign.

  • This snack-size episode talks Olympics – baseball next time, baseball-adjacent for now. Salvy has Bobby Junior’s back, and really, everyone else’s too. Manny sure looks good getting his 1000th RBI in Camden Yards, but for the other guys. The Police Blotter provides a teaching moment about what game balls to throw back – not THAT one. Trades are coming at us fast and furious as we approach the deadline, and there’s excitement at the Women’s World Cup. Dylan and Joe give us a fun fact.

  • Welcome to Junior Pottymouth, sitting in for Patti who is hiding out in the mountains for a week. Junior’s bf Gunnar (you may have heard of him) and Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball league legend Jordan Westberg combine for one of those stats you can’t believe people track. Pottymouth dazzles with Elly Math, and Bobby Witt just keeps hitting since the all star break. Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball league legend James Outman is Back, Man. Pottymouth’s former bf Jarren Duran brings home the ASG MVP. Welcome back to pissy Joe Kelly from the 60 day.

    Alec Burleson is now on Patti’s no-fly list due to Trump celly, and now many STL guys are suspect. Nick Castellanos list of home runs at auspicious times continues to grow. Listen for the list! Thom Brennaman may or may not have learned that slurs are bad, and maybe Moneyball doesn’t mean what you think it means. The Syracuse Mets La-Crosstrain with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and show how meaningful a “theme” night can really be. Hey, why is the ASG going back to ATL? NOTHING HAS CHANGED since it was taken away. Watch the Women’s World Cup!

  • Better late than never as we squeeze this episode in between the Derby and the ASG. Will, Andres, and Zach do Patti proud with defense that may be lucky but is definitely sexy. Jarren Duran has the f*ck ‘em shirt (and soon Pottymouth will too) but Vaughn has the f*ck ‘em attitude. Kiké is on the bump trash talking Kyle from Waltham, while Kevin and Whit are on the outs. Wander Franco solidifies his spot on the NCiB no-fly list and there’s no coming back. Do you want to own a baseball team? Keep your eye on the ball… er Ballers and it can happen. You’ll have to trust us on our Derby picks since we didn’t report out till after, but we keep each other honest.

  • West Coast Correspondent Deborah brings her field report from an Oakland Ballers game where it’s always Grateful Dead night, and has Patti wishing for a guest announcing gig. Even in Pottymouth’s absence we check in on Jarren Duran and his f*ck em shirt, and Elly getting all team-matey. MJ Melendez gets the Dynasty Card of his dreams from local fans, Jack Suwinski helps PNC Park run out of home run fireworks. Everything is Just Fine on Deborah’s fantasy team because of Max Fried, a welcome ASG nod to Jesse Chavez, and a late ASG add of Heliot Ramos. Patti shares the joy of a last minute decision to catch James Woods’ debut with Pottymouth. He is Very Tall. We cross train by welcoming Jessica Campbell as the first woman to coach in the NHL, and checking in on multiple opportunities for Bay Area women’s soccer. Just in time for the Home Run Derby, we walk you through the new rules.

  • We puzzle through giving benefit of the doubt, trusting one’s gut, and considering suspect timing, plus steaming nose emojis when evaluating the off the field actions of players. Jackson Chourio is hot and Pottymouth is here for it. OMG, José Iglesias! Patti’s new pitcher Gavin Stone nearly has a Maddux, We learn what auto body skills have to do with custom cleats – thanks to Bryson Stott. Our police blotter ensures that we will always be a little afraid of ballpark escalators, and amused by the sliding scale of sticky stuff. Things are hopping in the CPBL with the Lions winning the first half, Yu Chang with the other Guardians, and a potential international baseball partnership among leagues. We question the sponsorship partnership between the Lake County Captains and Roto Rooter resulting in thrones of a different kind behind the plate. And Ashton goes bananas.
