The Reclamation Tour

We’ve got a supersized Police Blotter this week, what with the Dodgers doing the right thing at the very last minute. We ponder why it took so long to DFA Trevor Bauer, and what may happen if another MLB team has the poor judgment to pick him up, ranging from T shirt purges to vandalism. We explore the relationship of adult beverages to crime as 1) the man who whipped two cans of White Claw at Ted Cruz during the Astros parade gets a pass, and 2) the man charged with a September break-in of the Brewer’s clubhouse blames it on consuming 10 beers at the ballgame which clearly means he is independently wealthy and does not need to break in to anything. Pottymouth selects one of the newest Angels, Brandon Drury, as her boyfriend this year, and Patti goes for recent Philly Mickey Moniak because she is so fond of that crew. For the Marlins, Pottymouth selects “family over everything” Nick Fortes and Patti selects secret concert pianist and Van Halen fan JJ Bleday. Pottymouth’s dad is happy about Devers but really wants more arms. Look for this week’s winter ball report on Patreon.
