We're halfway through Spring Training and Spring sure is in the air! The clocks have rolled forward, the birds are chirping, Gunnar is smacking 4 base hits in meaningful games! And, the Orioles sure are baseballin' down there in Sarasota! Aside from the Jordan Westburg and Jackson Holliday news to start camp, it's been a quiet ST to this point, and with a new manager, new star power, and a last place finish still letting off fumes, that's probably exactly how the Orioles want it. The Axe-Man, Dillon Atkinson, fills in for Zach to talk all things baseball on The Bat Around!

Paul & Zach discuss the impact Westburg's injury will have, and what it means for Coby Mayo. Plus, the Polar Bear has played two games and has hit two HRs. So far, so good? And does Heston Kjerstad have a chance to make this roster? Find out that and more on The Bat Around!

Our boyfriends this week are from BAL, where Patti leans into the once and forever boyfriend and Pottymouth goes Westy, and the Hammers, where Pottymouth picks a player with a wacky Tennessee claim to fame and Patti goes right to ROY. The Police Blotter features the return of Wander Franco's case to the courts, and the end of the Tyler Skagg's courtroom drama. The International Baseball update includes almost baffling chaos around the Serie del Caribe and the Serie de las Americas but the takeaway is absolutely please stop blowing up Venezuelan boats. We're both on yet more road trips and we wish you safe travels if you are too, and happy holidays if you celebrate. See you a day late again next week!We say, “A glass half full of Santa's Butt,” “There was some hockey, there was some smarts,” and “Donny was the youngest Osmond that had any juice.” 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.
