this orioles/nationals game has had two catcher home runs, I assume for me personally

this is called "charlie mortoning" and pitchers only do it if they're in distress

pitchers are disintegrating at an alarming rate

Then how do you explain BDSM (Big Dominic Smith Moments) then?

then what the fuck is the point of all the models we've been building

Skill issue

DO you want to see some pictures of cats at a baseball game?

Every weekend is heated rivalry weekend if you try hard enough

So it’s not heated rivalry weekend it’s just regular rivalry weekend? Okay fine sure whatever

alright. it was probably inevitable I did this. here's a baseball newsletter, but for things that don't end up in stories that I'm working on otherwise. leftonbase.beehiiv.com/p/welcome-to...

He looks like he would say, “see, they control everything,” and when you clarify who “they“ are, you are incredibly relieved to find out he means space aliens

Almost all baseball player performance evaluation can be collapsed into two statements: Player bad? They are hurt Player less bad? They are now not hurt

the most relatable a baseball player will ever be is when they screw up and just lie down on the field about it*

spencer strider's wario (dylan cease) is pitching great wow

one of the most repulsive things about players is finding out they loathe the people who make up the cities they play in. like man, you got to live in a nice place and get cheered for by nice people, and you apparently hated the whole thing.

hockey romance hole

No, this was not supposed to curse a player I like 🧿

No no don’t like that no

The cubs now have four or so players with non-execrable politics in their system (please grade on a normal person curve and not a blueskian one) and frankly I didn’t think that was allowed

HE IS NOT SOME GUY TO ME HE IS THE GUY

Would anyone want a printed edition of unwritten rules for this? 😅

not gonna title a book "three-way player"

major league baseball has issued a warning: the san francisco giants are too sexy

In entirely unrelated news, go read Unwritten Rules by @kdcaseywrites.bsky.social

The WEEI broadcast did a tribute to Jason Collins during the Red Sox game, calling him a “pioneer” and a “brave soul” without specifying why. Massachusetts has a gay governor. It was the first state to have gay marriage. Who is the imagined audience for this kind of omission?

At his current pace of pitches per inning, Zach Wheeler could throw two CGSOs in a row tonight

An extremely courageous person who meant a lot to so many people.

Incredibly overdue but good. Also haven’t seen kershaw lose like this since 2019 NLDS game 5

Shitposting about baseball players does in fact sell books (where the baseball players kiss)

me, buying a book written by someone who I've never met but we sometimes like each other's posts on Bluesky: my friend wrote this

When people ask what genre I write in

As someone who wrote a book five years ago and is now revisiting it for Reasons and cannot find the map of the (completely ordinary in that version) house I made… Include the map

to quote @suesswassersee.bsky.social, he seems like the kind of cheerful extrovert Italian American on which our cities were built

shocked how quickly he went through these

Clearly, the DMV region stands for DC, Marinara, and Virginia

back on my bullshit (writing ghost stories)

paperback penalty box? it’s more likely than you’d think

gage tater workman??? kindle unlimited-ass name

this ain't a book it's a

There are so many Italians in this game (and commentating it) that it’s going to create a national vowel shortage

I don’t have much to contribute to the writing sex scenes discourse other than everything in a book should do some kind of work, but I think I can confidently say I have written the only catcher nail polish related bondage scene in literature

do you ever just think about ✨catchers✨

#BookstoreRomanceDay bookstore registrations have cracked 650 indie bookstores for the first time *ever* & there's still three+ months to go! Still looking for #Alaska & non-US Romance-loving stores to join the fun. bookstoreromanceday.org/participatin...

history will say that

The curse will not be lifted until Cal Raleigh makes an opposing batter fall in love with him.

lotsa people in the quotes not putting together why a jewish dude born in england in 1928 to a mother born in east end (basically, lower east side but for england) might be willing to stab fascists in the streets

I think this was about Fire Season, which is somehow ???? nearing its fourth publishing anniversary.

Happy 4 year anniversary to this banger by @kdcaseywrites.bsky.social

this is the actual plot of diamond ring

Just because Alek Manoah pitched against the Jays after being out of MLB for two years does not mean it's okay for you to text your ex.
