/looks at Yankees lineup, clears throat Soooooo you’re telling me a Ben Fried this Rice?

in my j-ist jonah jameson voice: i want pictures of wet ballplayers on my desk tomorrow

I remain correct

I have a pretty thorough mental backlist of this subgenre and some of these were new to me. absolute bangers all around.

If you are looking for a nice high holidays gay romance.... (aren't we all??) bsky.app/profile/rose...

really read this in the tone of Who By Fire, Who by Water?

Was self soothing (buying a bunch of books) and A Lady Awakened is currently on sale for $3.99 www.amazon.com/Lady-Awakene...

Had a conversation with someone about the Phillies in the context of the postseason, and while the offense is fuckin cooking these days I did have to use the phrase "load-bearing Harrison Bader"

me: wait, that's my book also me: WAIT that's my book (go read mine, Kelly Cain's, and Andie Burke's please. and all the others)

I am being told it's been a week since I published a book that someone called "yearning on main." mm, baseball, fake dating, not so much grumpy sunshine as chaos4spreadsheet. available on a bunch of e-retail platforms and in print www.kdcaseywrites.com/breakout-year

me when a mid reliever is pulled in favor of another mid reliever, but this one has a different arm slot

everybody who played baseball up to a certain point remembers the first time they saw a curveball. as seth galina once said: we had to grow up right then and there in the batters box

I see max fried has bested kirkland brand max fried (cade povich)

for reasons I had to look up a map of regions in New Jersey and I am howling over this (official) state map that is somehow having an argument with itself

having fun is in fact never hard when you have a library card

i’m sorry but i do actually think it’s bad to handwave away the entire sport by saying “everyone in baseball is right wing so therefore holding anyone accountable is a pointless exercise” not least of which because it is fucking bad to surrender entire portions of culture

Porting this over from IG because it’s genius from @kdcaseywrites.bsky.social: submariner pitcher implies the existence of dom-mariner pitcher (very high arm slot, duh).

breakout year chapter 29

Update I absolutely love this book, I read the first half after the game Sunday and then spent all day Monday at work impatient to go home and read more Also I do not want to spoil anything but there is something in the ending that feels like a beautiful gift to me personally, thank you KD

I just finished Unwritten Rules, my first @kdcaseywrites.bsky.social book and it was amazing (and free plug: she has a new book out now, see below) But the book is just so well written. Good characters, good sex, good prose, good baseball ... It was exactly the book I needed to read on a vacation

what is romance but a mutual option or a ~tendered~ contract

LRT — I think there's an essay to be written (perhaps many essays to be written) on the nature of repair and public infraction and on quietly changing your behavior not for plaudits but because you couldn't live with yourself otherwise

“josh hader got the clemente award nomination in part for the charity work he did with an organization that helps unhoused lgbt youth” is perhaps the only combination of words that could’ve soothed my soul this morning and here we are

by coincidence I'm reading Black Silk and also absolutely subscribe to Felicia's "Two Freaks Fuck It Up Bigtime" school of what I want in a book (the whole essay is great, check it out)

this reminds me I have a short story about a team that resorts to magic to break a curse. it's free, here it is thetwinbill.com/the-wise-men...

a fun fact is that I put events from breakout year in my google calendar to plot them out time-wise (on a tip from rachel reid) and now I'm getting calendar alerts for the events whoops.

when people ask me what genre I write in

harrison bader is baseball's first maximalist player, in this essay I will—

fire season, if I had had the courage

if you saved breakout year on goodreads, did goodreads send you an email about it?

this remains my best pitching analysis to date

the fact that there's a baltimore band with a song called "holiday," and jackson holliday isn't walking up to it, remains a mystery to me
