Junior sets a record for under-22s. Woody sets a record for no more than 22s, and PCA (at 23) just sets the pace. Kids today! Kody with a K finds a home with MIN, and we sort out all the Victors.

COL and Pottymouth welcome the return of Ezequiel Tovar, and there's just so much Soto to discuss. Liam Hendriks says the kind of death threats experienced by Lance McCullers are horrifyingly common and absolutely fed by sports betting. Underage drinking is now a part of the incident resulting in serious injuries to a fan falling from the stands in PNC park. COL may have set a record for losses in 50 games and have a fan suing them for being bad, but at least their security staff is trying to keep opposing players out of the ballpark. Previously McCullered Tim McGraw is headlining the Speedway Classic featuring CIN vs ATL in August. We crosstrain with ice dancing and encourage you to read this piece about gender “complexities” in that sport.

We let Sally Jenkins and Jake Mintz take the lead on the “permanent ends when you're dead” rant re Pete and the other formerly permanently ineligibles. Will Andy Pages be the player that gets Pottymouth to manage her fantasy team more closely? Maybe! Patti's team is again short a 3rd baseman but the math is working out. PCA's newest stats are rivaling those of the new Pope for Chicago-based excitement. We thought the BOS gag was going to be Who's On First but it turned out to be who is in the outfield because the new City Connects are Fenway camo for the guys near the wall. Kudos to the second place finisher in a Maine high school track event for calling out Rep. Laurel Libby as a bully for “maligning” the trans-identified athlete who won the event.

We've got some nods to Mothers Day – badass Veronica Alvarez is gifted maternity baseball pants, Jace and Josh's mom gets to wear a split jersey to watch them face off on a major league field, and Pottymouth gets a hat. That Patti gets to wear. Jasson Dominguez overtakes a record previously held by Joe DiMaggio. Jackson Merrill says “daddy ball” and something mysterious that we can only guess at, and Andy Pages takes the real job. Some Houston fans overstep into dangerous and hateful territory over Lance McCullers. PIT can't catch a break anywhere, from fans, stadium staff, or managers. Rafael Devers is in need of some Crash Davis to get himself together. And Ayami Sato pitches for the Maple Leafs (the baseball ones, not the hockey ones). Pottymouth invites local friends of the show to Patti's birthday party.

    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.

    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.
