I'm a crossword lover who wears glasses and plays catcher. I'm basically a female Danny Jansen. If you think I said something dumb, I was probably being sarcastic.

Mine is a BIG fan of bottle caps

I don't even feel sad or super mad at this point? Just like... deeply irritated

Nice try, Varsh. Sigh.

What if, hear me out, the blue jays hit a ball that didn't hit the ground before reaching the dirt

Just noticed the Mariners have holographic belts. No wonder they're winning

LOL I'm glad I'm not alone!

The main reason I remember this is a bit from this excellent, hilarious Grantland piece (the embedded pics are now broken but I found the relevant pic on Google)

Alfonso Marquez (left-field umpire): No one knew what to do, so I tried to take charge by grabbing the baseball and putting it in my mouth. Just stuck it up in there for safekeeping. I umped the rest of the inning with a baseball-size bulge in my cheek. Even when we weren’t sure about the score or the proper place to put runners, we never wondered where the baseball was. But cowhide tastes terrible. An MLB umpire talking to John Gibbons. It does indeed look like he might have a baseball in his cheek

I put an asterisk on the play and then write at the bottom of the inning "reviewed, OT" or "review UH"

Alfonso Marquez was involved in the umpiring crew when the ball went off Choo's bat in Game 5 in 2015....

If the hitter thinks he’s struck out that should be an auto strike three

Listen I don't like getting heated about balls and strikes so early in the game... but if the batter and pitcher AGREE?! You done fucked up, Doug

Kevin Gausman, self-critical after the #BlueJays' loss that I don't think can be tagged to him:

"I gave up a home run and a walk. Up to that point, I’d been throwing the ball really well and had the game right there. This one’s on me.”

Leroy has adjusted surprisingly well to being denied his bedtime snack routine (what I previously would've called his "entire reason for being")
He meows at the bedroom door for a bit when the other kitties are getting theirs, then after like 3 minutes he just settles into the bed and accepts it

They'd better find the white panel batting helmets by tomorrow

"Jeff Hoffman is up in the bullpen"
Is it possible to blow a save for the other team?

idk, looks like a normal-sized Polanco to me

I mean it's easier to ask your starter to get himself out of a situation if you have A MULTI-RUN LEAD

LIterally exactly how it got fucked up against the Mariners last time. Pull Gausman when you maybe shouldn't, put in a shit lefty.
