Existing quietly (sometimes) at the intersection of sports & a few dialects of nerdery. I constitute a fraction of @numbersmlb.bsky.social.

Cookie Monster is in the booth with Boog at Wrigley, will be singing Take Me Out (to the ballgame, not the Franz Ferdinand song, unfortunately) in the 7th

One of my favorite funny baseball quotes is when a guy on a bad team turns down a trade to a good team because "[he] want[s] to win here." Bubula I respect you exercising your no-trade clause as is your right but the only way your current team is going to the playoffs is with a group ticket package

I know this has been brought up to death, but fuck do I hate how much Cinema Sins has ruined the discourse of and also how people watch movies Viral pedantry and the desperation to be "technically right" is one of less talked about bad consequences of social media

I have two weeks left in my summer and while I do not lament that too heavily, I will miss the freedom to ask myself “do I really need to get up off the couch yet?”

I don’t think you should be allowed to report on a trade if it’s not done. Like I believe it should be illegal if not societally frowned upon heavily. It reflects poorly on the reporter and far more importantly than that, it upsets me deeply.

Hey everyone. I just talked to management. Unfortunately there’s no money left in the budget for “pencils down” or “stay in line!” posts at the deadline today. Yeah, I know. Uh huh. I get it. Yeah no yeah. Totally. Maybe next year.

A correct challenge on the first pitch of the game is good practice. Set the tone with the home plate umpire immediately. “You’re shit at your job and I have the means to correct you.”

"Glad we got rid of that Bailey Falter guy, his name was really bring down the organizational vibes." "Good call. Who's the replacement?" "Aaron Bummer."

Rosenthal LOVES writing the column that reads “aw shucks, you just can’t hate these folksy Dodgers for doing their thing!” Complicit in laundering their bullshit.

at some point you have to stop giving up home runs to the dregs of the opposing lineup. It’s August 1 and no one on the Cubs’ pitching staff has figured it out yet.

If you’ve scratched your starting pitcher for tonight but have not traded him yet you are breaking the law and you will go to jail. I take no pleasure in reporting this.

Hoping the Cubs do better work against this 5.00 road ERA chump the second time through the lineup, especially with difficult SP matchups sneering in the wings tomorrow and Sunday.
