We have streaks, and streaks that have been struck, and hello new guy, and some monster home runs fueled by quesadillas. Patti preps you for collective bargaining which should start Any Day Now. And she wants you to do some homework by reading this piece in the Athletic if you want to get all caught up. Pottymouth gets all Alice in Wonderland with the Phils firing their manager and is Mattingly 110 yet? We cross train with national anthems and the NHL and a pretty meaningful O Canada moment. The Women’s Baseball World Cup qualifiers were great for Canada and not so much for Puerto Rico – next stop Rockford. Congrats to some DC Girls Baseball stars heading to the Maria Pepe series in Williamsport. Lastly, the Miami Grand Prix tells the Brooklyn Cyclones I see your hot dog jog and raise you caviar and gold flakes. Patti cheated on NCiB with another podcast. Check her out on the Daily Deuce. Video and everything.

We say, “He talks like Cody Bellinger looks,” “Let’s hope that all works out with the purple coat,” and, “more ridiculous hot dog news.” Fight the man, go see some live baseball, send your game balls to Meredith,, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
