I would allow 'stomach ache'

I think if you’re a fully grown adult and you use the words ‘tummy ache’ for yourself, I should be allowed to punish you.

Hi everyone. I'm currently working on one of our offseason baseball books, and I have some freelance hours available for someone to help place copy/tables onto pages in InDesign and help edit the book.

If you have InDesign/editing skills and baseball knowledge, my DMs are open.

Thank you 🙏

I’m not super into extreme cringe comedy so I will see how I do with the first episode.

I found Friendship agonizing.

Maybe I will save this show for when the weather gets bad in that case 🙏

On a scale of 1-10 how much will this show stress me out?

My nitpicky pet peeve: when the announcers call someone a professional hitter.

All MLB position players are professional hitters. All of them!

Ruth Kapelus @ruthkapelus.bsky.social · 1d

Technically. They’re still getting paid for it

Niko’s dog adding more fuel to my theory that all corgi mixes look like corgis wearing a costume of the other breed.

For reference, here's Bowie, our dog who found a ball in a parking lot and immediately punctured it and also him sitting to prove he's a good boy.

a dog with short little legs standing on concrete. He's brown with black on the ridge and sides, like a German Sheppard. He also has corgi proportions. He's holding a blue ball in his mouth that's clearly deflated. He's very proud of himself despite the ball being functionally useless now.

a brown and black dog sitting on the grass in a park, with his ears standing at attention. He's held in place by a black leash.

I love finding out about these random people living these unique lives.

The angle makes Josh’s feet look enormous OR maybe that’s how he’s so good at stealing bases.

Omg no way

I love how Josh Naylor answers the question: what if Cecil Fielder was also Rickey Henderson.

Wildly so

Ruth Kapelus @ruthkapelus.bsky.social · 1d

It's so annoying and way way way TOO MUCH

Ruth Kapelus @ruthkapelus.bsky.social · 1d

It's relentless and adds nothing to the experience, but can detract enough from it - to your point - to make people stay home.
