O Canada

We love a good anthem kerfuffle, especially when we get to cross-train with it. The big news is Bregs to Beantown and Pottymouth and her dad couldn’t be happier. The boys are back – from injuries and to Spring Training. We check in with Christian’s actual back, Freddie’s ankle, Shohei’s throwing arm, and Tito’s triggers. We’ve got new boyfriends with HOU and MIL, so you’ll hear about an addition to the Walker collection, Ohio and Mass boys, and a new forever boyfriend. Qualifiers start for the World Baseball Classic, and Pete’s got stars in his hair. And we try to work out what constitutes drinking for the cycle. We say, “If we made them the 51st state we couldn’t have a ‘world’ series,” “An Ohio boy and a Massachusetts boy so they are just like us, except we are not boys,” and, “The chances of that are two in a Brazilian.” 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.
