Just Flinch More

Pottymouth gives the rundown on all the pitcher drama, from Alek Manoah getting sent so very far down, Anthony Bass burning his opportunity for redemption and getting both DFA’d and booed, and the questionable conversation around Matt Dermody. Patti reassures Pottymouth’s dad that Triston Casas will be just fine, and Michael Harris reassures Patti that he will be just fine. Brothers Ramon (Os) and Luis (Brewers) Urias faced off for the very first time. Our police blotter focuses on the pitch clock at the Bank, where 15 seconds seems to go way faster than at other ballparks. Patti points out that Justin Turner fouling a ball off the forehead of Yankees’ radio broadcaster John Sterling makes her regular flinching at inside pitches and fouls coming for the pressbox (behind netting, but still) completely reasonable so please stop teasing her. Leonel Messi comes to the MLS, which is solidly related to baseball because of the welcome from Marlins players, and the possible side hustle for Pottymouth who offers her services as a teacher of English. We say “Are you saying Fenway is a scam?” “Tweet of Matt’s, it’s like Book of Mormon,” and “Dear Mr. Beckham, I’d like to help your newest acquisition.” 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.
