Hi, I’m Ian. I’ve been writing for 15-plus years at stops including Yahoo Sports and Sports Illustrated. I recently talked about my path on the “Media in Minutes” podcast, if you want to hear more.

I enjoy sports (Detroit teams, especially), movies, TV, comic books & politics (I’m a Democrat).

If you knew Dave Bickler from memory, that is just damn impressive

Man, that singer did not age well. No wonder Survivor replaced him

What was the No. 1 song on the Billboard charts when that game started?

I guess Flaherty has to stay in since this game is going right up to Big Noon Kickoff

Ian Casselberry @iancass.bsky.social · 6h

That's the last we'll see of Jack Flaherty tonight, right? Great Houdini act there, but THOSE WALKS

On the bright side, Josh Naylor stealing third base means he can't give away signs from second...

This has me feeling very mortal. Wow. I have affection towards players I watched a lot as my baseball fandom developed. Very sad to read this.

Red Sox @redsox.com · 1d

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Red Sox Hall of Famer Mike Greenwell.

“The Gator” spent his entire career in a Red Sox uniform & was a beloved fixture of Fenway and Fort Myers. He gave so much to this organization, Lee County, & Sox Nation.

We send our love to the Greenwell family.

Nice recovery from Zack McKinstry getting picked off first base!

Brent Maguire @bmags94.bsky.social · 2d

Wow. Javier Báez pads the Tigers lead with a two-run homer.

What a switch this game has seen since the fifth inning.

Ian Casselberry @iancass.bsky.social · 2d

Analysis: #Tigers do much better when they don't hit the ball to Josh Naylor.

Big Dingler?

Also, thanks to Randy Arozarena for the misplay in left field

Jason Beck @jasonbeck.bsky.social · 2d

Dingler Double doesn't have the same ring to it, but it gets the Tigers on the board, chases Bryce Miller and starts the chess match in earnest. 3-1 M's in 5th.
