No Crying In Baseball
Hosted by Voxtopica · EN
When Patti and her potty-mouthed friend talk baseball, you'll know this is not a baseball podcast for lightweights. This is the real deal, from real fans. Because diamonds are a strong woman's best friend, and there's no crying in baseball.

A Labor of Love
Mar 2401:03:31Tap to summarizeWelcome to the 10th season of No Crying in Baseball! We appreciate those of you who have been with us since the beginning, those we’ve collected along the way, and we welcome you who are just joining in. It’s also the week of our favorite national holiday, Opening Day. That means it is time for our terrible predictions. You will see no bias for or against any particular teams as we give you our best guesses as to pennants and the post season, as well as the major awards. The prediction we do almost always get right is our pick for teams that are fun to watch. Pottymouth picked the As for the AL as “young kids in Sacramento who DGAF” while Patti says the Royals for Team Italy plus Bobby. We agree on SD for the NL fun team for WBC joy plus the addition of Nick Castellanos, or as we say, the guy with two buttons undone but it feels like more. Pottymouth celebrates her successful, not at all terrible, prediction of Venezuela taking the WBC, and provides a wrap on the tournament. Patti preps you for the new MLB season with a taste of the new rules being tested in the minors this season, with a side of geometry. The league gets further into bed with sports gambling, this time with an added layer of Facist in Chief, Jr. The WPBL visits Fenway South, the WNBA’s new CBA provides a major salary correction, and you too can own some WBC history. This episode was powered by the Day After Chachos, where tastes are actually shots and cause bad math to happen. Order yours here.We say, “I distracted you with facism again,” “This is actually a good pick based on research not just on Chachos,” and “It does just take a little while of having a rule to figure out the work-arounds.” 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.

Transcribe →Not Just the Espresso Boys
Mar 1701:01:28Tap to summarizeWe love the WBC so much and it’s not just for the espresso shot cellies or the hair that goes poof when a batting helmet comes off, but it could be. We are dismayed at the military overtones that Team USA embraces, and are pretty peeved about a specific Navy Seal brought in to the clubhouse to hype up the guys. On the other hand the young guys are fun to watch. We love the DR spirit – take a look at this Player’s Tribune piece by Tatis, Jr. After that Team Venezuela upset Patti is feeling good about that Wilyer Abreu pick. We are almost at Opening Day so we’ve got our fantasy starting lineups selected from weeks of boyfriend selections, plus our pitching flocks – BOS for Pottymouth and DET for Patti. Eugenio Suarez tells the Cincinnati Enquirer about some immigration realities and the Reds seem to be proactive in protecting their players. Anyone else? And there’s some World Cup cross training that raises more questions than it answers.We say, “there’s fun before bedtime,” “I keep saying the word ‘scrappy’ in my head,” and “We will be the first to say I told you so and f*(# off.” 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.

Transcribe →So Much Sportswatching
Mar 1001:05:11Tap to summarizeThe World Baseball Classic is testing the limits of our attention spans and our channel surfing. We are loving the father-son stories, the espresso shots, the real estate agents, the moms and high school kids, and all the Kims, and are wondering where the politics went. In our last boyfriend week, we bring you our picks for the Blue Jays and the Brewers. We found two more kids who wanted their dads to play for TOR, one wanting to stay and one picking them first among 30. For MIL, we look to a former Red Sox and a current Team Canada player. Our police blotter looks at how multiyear contracts may make PEDs worth the risk – is that what Jurickson Profar found? And we crosstrain with the Seattle Rugby Club as they join #rugbyforall to counter USA Rugby’s new transphobic policy.We say “She’s gonna pick a bird,” “the clickah circuit,” and “suck it, Draftkings.” 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.

Transcribe →A Little More Hubba Bubba
Mar 301:09:53Tap to summarizeIt’s our second to last boyfriend week of the off-season so we’ve got some Yankees and some Phillies to talk about. For NYY, All signs pointed to Jorbeet in Orbeet for Pottymouth, and how could Patti resist a big man who can fly and cook? Pottymouth dives into a next gen situation for the Phils and Patti follows an unusual, if dope, path to the Show. Harrison Bader signs a food truck and Brooke lobbies for her dad’s spot on the Jays. We crosstrain with some college hoops players to the rescue and a super-iffy World Cup environment. There’s just no way to untangle the politics from the World Baseball Classic so we’re just putting it all out there. And Patti’s Olympic hockey rant almost gets derailed by the dropping of literal bombs, but not quite. Don’t forget to let us know if you want in on the fantasy league or want to meet us in Kansas City!We say, “Who knew the rabbit hole was wide enough for the two of us,” “This is my third Venezuelan in a row,” and “4000% alcohol by volume.” “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.

Transcribe →Hey New Guy, I don’t Even Know What Team You’re On
Feb 2401:11:05Tap to summarizeThat’s right, spring training games have started and we’re getting alerts about players we don’t know. First though, we’ve got a legit scandal crossed with police blotter and wrapped in labor. Pottymouth is already a man down with her ARI boyfriend heading over to B’more. New boyfriends this week are from SEA and LAD. For the Mariners, Pottymouth picks the army brat who is always prepared, and Patti goes for the Cleveland kid with a shared love of Kenny Lofton. We dug deep for Dodgers, with Pottymouth selecting sexy defense with uncanny timing, and Patti picking the oldest of three brothers from the city of brotherly love. We’re keeping an eye on the barnstorming rumors for the WPBL. We’d like MLB to consider some equity measures in their umpire promotion system, please. Teams are warming up for the WBC as long as they can jump through the travel hoops. And we wrap up with some giveaway swag you might want to get in line for. Finally, your hosts make good on donations to counter the bad behavior of players on teams that matter to us. Pottymouth donated to Sojourner House and Rosie’s Place for Aroldis Chapman Red Sox saves, and Patti donated to Baltimore Safe Haven in order to root for a US Gold Medal Women’s Hockey team with Britta Curl-Salemme on the roster. You are welcome to join us in these donations if you are so moved.We say, “Forget Disneyworld, Drag Brunch is the happiest place on earth,” “It’s just too close to a severed finger,” and “C’mon, his name is Mayo, why is there not a condiment shirt?” 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.

Transcribe →Pierogis vs. Presidents
Dec 10, 2019Tap to summarizeIn which we get the episode number right but say Padres when we mean Pirates and George when we mean Gregory. Welcome to the off-season.Patti provides helpful career advice to Pottymouth by comparing job postings for favorite mascots. We profile our new Orioles boyfriends, Pedro Severino and Anthony Santander, who we hear is very big in the UK. Just to stir things up, Pottymouth gives up her volatile Pirates boyfriends of the past to select Bryan Reynolds, complete with a fishing with Dad story, while Patti takes a page from her book and chooses injury-laden, but so close to great Gregory “El Coffee” Polanco, but continually calls him “george” for no apparent reason. New Pirates manager, Derek Shelton, has arrived with universal approval and high hopes.Pottymouth notes that our former boyfriends Tommy Pham and Jurickson Profar are headed to San Diego, which may give us a new team to love. And yet we tarnish it with outside words. The way we do.Not that we’re keeping score, but Patti wins another point. This one for a boyfriend winning an award she didn’t know existed for a position she doesn’t believe in. Nelson Cruz is the 2019 winner of the Edgar Martinez Outstanding DH award.Addison Frickin’ Russell has been non-tendered. The People do not want him, we’ll see if front offices agree.A Bi-partisan congressional task force to “Save Minor League Baseball” formed to warn the MLB that they are watching the negotiations with MiLB and are ready to smack them down with legislative “solutions” if the plan to gut the Minors proceeds. Bernie Sanders tries to sell Rob Manfred on his plan for universal baseball. Sort of.Pottymouth is dismayed by the inappropriate and puzzling uses of “Woo” and Mr. Happy in the Red Sox farm system. But not so much that she can’t provide you with the following guide to watching Winter Baseball, including her picks for each league’s winning team:Australian Baseball League (ABL) https://theabl.com.au/schedule 7 teams, Regular season: 11/20-1/25LIDOM (Dominican Republic) (Liga Intervernal Domnicana) http://www.lidom.com Regular season: 10/12-12/17Pottymouth’s Pick: Leones del Escogido (Tigers BF WIlli Castro)Liga de Beisbol Profesional Roberto Clemente https://www.ligapr.com/ Regular season:11/15-12/29, Playoffs 1/3 -1/22Pottymouth’s Pick: Gigantes de Carolina (Marlins BF Isan Diaz)Liga Mexicana del Pacifico https://www.lmp.mx/ Regular season: 10/11-12/30Pottymouth’s Pick: Naranjeros De Hermosillo (host to Justine Siegal’s clinics)Liga Venezuela Beisbol Profesional https://www.lvbp.com/ Regular season: 11/4-12/29Pottymouth’s Pick: Cardinales De Lara (lost chance at hosting Serie del Caribe last year)Beísbol Cubano http://www.beisbolcubano.cu Second Phase: 10/27 - 12/24, Championship: Jan 6-8Pottymouth’s Pick: Cienfuegos (elephant mascot)LBPN - Nicaragua https://lbpn.com.ni/ Regular Season: 11/25-12/21Pottymouth’s Pick: Tigres de Chinandega (Ace - Atahualpa Severino)Probeis (Panama) https://www.tvmax-9.com/probeis/ Regular Season: 11/28 - 12/27?Pottymouth’s Pick: Astronautas de Chiriquí (great name)Serie del Caribe Feb 1-8, Puerto RicoPlease take a moment to subscribe to the show, and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to NCiB.
