Welcome back to another episode of Bourbon and Baseball, folks! I'm your host, Suzy, joined by my co-host Kelsey, and we've got a jam-packed show for you today.
We kicked things off with a bit of a missed opportunity for an April Fool's joke, but quickly moved on to some baseball trivia involving the #PittsburghPirates , #MilwaukeeBrewers , #DetroitTigers , and #NewYorkYankees .
Kelsey's hot take? None of these teams, who are currently undefeated, will make it to the World Series this year.
Just a heads up, this is a Rated R podcast. We're not about nudity here, but we do bring the adult humor and there will be some cussing. So, listener discretion is advised.
We covered a lot of ground with news from around the league. Here are some highlights:

J.D. Martinez chose the #Mets over the #Giants because his swing plays better in New York, and he didn't want to look washed up in San Francisco.

#ShoheiOhtani 's presser raised more questions than answers, with some curious comments from Dave Roberts about the "buffer" being removed now that Ohtani's former interpreter is gone.

The #Guardians made a surprising move by DFA'ing #MylesStraw, and we're intrigued to see how their new outfield will shape up.

#TonyKemp signed with the #Orioles, which is fantastic news for their clubhouse vibe.

#JordanMontgomery 's signing with the #Diamondbacks was a shocker, but it's a great move for Arizona's rotation.


We also discussed the bench-clearing brawls that have already happened this season. The Mets and Brewers had a couple of incidents, with Rhys Hoskins at the center of the drama. Then there was the #Rays and #Jays scuffle involving #GenesisCabrera and #JoseCaballero.
The #DBacks had an explosive start to the season, putting up 14 runs in one inning against the #Rockies. We also celebrated rookie #BlazeAlexander's first major league hit, which was a heartwarming moment.
We wrapped up with a reminder to our listeners to drop comments or reach out to us on Twitter with their thoughts on the topics we discussed. And as always, we're keeping an eye on all the teams, not just the Astros, so stay tuned for more all-encompassing baseball talk.
