Because, Midwest

Lovely humans. Yes it’s our first episode from the Epic Baseball Road Trip: CLE, DET, CHI edition. We give you the NCiB takes on Progressive Field, Comerica Park, and Wrigley Field. What are pierogi nachos, really? Yes we care that the bathrooms are just that good. No, in fact “good” beer is NOT available everywhere in the park. How far will Patti travel to execute a visual Hello Kitty/Detroit Tigers joke? Yes every single person in the entire midwest is pretty nice and the people working guest services are the people that should be working guest services. With the notable exception of JJ Wetherholt and Ivan Herrera, our current bfs were not playing or not playing well in front of your hosts. We were a day early for an historic CLE win, and a day late for Joshua Baez’s historic debut, but we were there for Bradgley Rodriguez’s first save.. And we apparently are a jinx (curse?) on the home teams. Wow Jake, 4 teams in 21 days? We recommend cross-training at LeBron James’ Buckets restaurant in Akron, and we can’t wait to get to Springfield this week to check on the HR race between Kelsie and Denae. Next week we’ll report back on MIL, the WPBL, and KC. Join our Patreon for the Daily Diary. We say, “ Pottymouth layered noise-cancelling things,” “the songs you know all the words to, therefore you can’t do math in your head,” and “2 for 2 on food we didn’t even know would come in helmets.” Fight the man, go see some live baseball, send your game balls to Meredith, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
