hii im your resident sf giants, turned baseball, turned all bay area sports blog; who is very normal about them all.
i'm from the bay, born and raised, so that's mainly who i root for (and also guides who i root against <3) BUT i have some additions from bandwagoning, good experience, and vibes
i talk a LOT and if you follow me, i WILL spam your dashboard so pls be warned 😭 (i liveblog a lot of games so that’s a lot of the spam, the tags for what to block will be below)
i also am permanently in the giants dynasty era/early to mid 2010s so please be warned that i am forever there mentally. i know that might be annoying so keep that in mind
also rpf warning for this blog!! its mostly jokes but block #baseball rpf, #hockey rpf, and #basketball rpf if that makes you uncomfy :)
sports, teams, tags + other info/yap under the cut!!
|| baseball || other sports ||
||tag list || old intro ||
⇧ click above for info ⇧
i don't have a set dni, just the usual no bigots. and though i don't block most of the time, just in general don't be an asshole.
and for my byi:
⚾︎ i have some mental health stuff goin on so just general tw for jokes about that. i also seem to have a typing quirk where i have to repeat things in twos or threes so if i rb or post like that, thats why 👍
⚾︎ there will be some 18+ stuff here!! it will be marked with #unholy baseball or #unholy hockey (and i will update if i add any other) PLEASE block those tags if you don't wanna see that stuff!!
⚾︎ again, there will be RPF here! pls block the aforementioned tags above the cut if you don't like that. a lot of my rpf stuff are jokes (except the unholy tags) but i understand if ya don't wanna see that
⚾︎ i also very much dislike genuine speculation and exposing actual players to rpf and things that make them uncomfortable. they're real people with real lives and feelings. if you like them, you should respect them.
⚾︎ i can take things super literally and not understand hyperbole. i don’t need tone indicators so to speak but just know that’s an added component when talking to me. i don’t mean to be dumb :D i just am :D pls be clear when you’re lying to me/exaggerating im very stupid :D
⚾︎ i am a bay fan. i am going to be hater to all of my narratively written enemies. i will hate la forever. i will wish upon their downfall. fuck the dodgers. fuck the yankees. fuck the kings. fuck the knights. fuck anyone who has ever been mean to the giants.
⚾︎ HOWEVER, i recognize them as our rivals (except the cheaters) and i think that that is key to baseball. i am a baseball fan first and i love good baseball, and i love the storylines they create.
⚾︎ i respect all fans (who do not harrass people, including their own players) and i do hope everyone has fun rooting for who they root for (goes for all sports); however to safely maneuver this blog you might have to block tags or just not interact with me bc i get a little hateful sometimes<3
⚾︎ and also some of the d*dgers are... cutie pies im sorry but my traitorous eyes do wander. i can't help it that kike hernandez is the funniest guy on the planet and yamamoto is so fantastic to watch.
⚾︎ but fr fuck every player who is a homophobic, racist, sexist, zionist, trump dick sucker (also goes for all sports). idc how good a player is, if they are a shit human being.
also my gender is baseball. im a male dominated sport but i should be gender neutral (im probably nb but i have a job and school so im a man rn)

if you are still here, hiiiiii ily thank you for reading i wish you an amazing day and i hope you see your favourite flower/plant in the wild ❀
I finally gave in and read a “Baseball for Beginners” article today (ahead of my first opportunity to watch a whole WPBL game uninterrupted by medical appointments) and the article I stumbled across included the most incredible sentence I have ever read about sport, or possibly anything:
my psychiatrist is proud of me for getting back into other interests and not being obsessive about baseball.
what he doesn’t know is that the only reason im not watching baseball is bc my team loses every time i do. so in fact, the ocd has NOT improved and im still NOT normal about sports
