A 1k followers intro post:

Hi! I'm Sarah. I'm a reporter/editor for MLB dot com based in Los Angeles. A lot of what I do is behind the scenes, but I fill in on Dodgers coverage from time to time/sometimes step in for visiting teams' beats in L.A. I also cover other baseball-related events.

I thought a shrimp for sure.

A walk-off single was honestly WAY too normal of a way for that game to end.

At some point you just have to declare the other AL slot vacant and hold some kind of conclave, right?

Another intriguing theory emerges. bsky.app/profile/mrru...

Mr. Rug @mrrug.bsky.social · 1d

Or maybe the Blue Jays Etsy witch is the one in control?

Sarah Wexler @sarahwexler.bsky.social · 1d

My current operating theory is that someone must’ve hired an Etsy witch on behalf of the Tigers and they and the Mariners’ Etsy witch are just doing dueling hexes on each other and therefore we are going to be watching this game until the heat death of the universe.

They’re doing a second seventh-inning stretch. In a winner-take-all game. Amazing.

It was going to be difficult to one-up last night's Phillies-Dodgers game, but Tigers-Mariners might just be doing it. My word.

Sam’s response.

Tom Petty’s IG (run by his estate) shared a vid of Sam Smith performing a deep cut Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers track, “It’ll All Work Out.” After the “Stay With Me”/“I Won’t Back Down” drama all those years back, I really liked seeing this.

Yamamoto and Glasnow have the exact same height difference (10 inches) as @jackbaer.bsky.social and me, lol.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto (5’10”) and Tyler Glasnow (6’8”).

The author (right, 5’9”) and her husband (6’7”).

Gee, no one still brings THAT one up nearly 40 years later, do they? 😬 Poor Orion.

An absolute pitchers' duel into the 11th inning ends with a dude at the plate who hasn't been able to buy a hit all October somehow playing the hero because the guy on the mound panicked. Nothing like it!

You think about all the huge, dramatic game-winning plays in baseball postseason history, and then you look at how Dodgers-Phillies NLDS Game 4 ended. God, what a sport.

MLB (Bot) @mlbbot.bsky.social · 3d

The @Dodgers are on their way back to the #NLCS 😱

I truly treasure every opportunity we get to see Sandy Koufax in the crowd at a Dodger game. What a special thing.

The AL's representative in the World Series will either be the Tigers (haven't been since 2012), Blue Jays (haven't been since 1993), or the Mariners (have never played in a World Series).

The fan with the dump 61/62 here shirt got to meet Cal after the game and get a bat and ball autographed by Cal.

Hey, the Dodgers' bullpen is 4-for-4 in not giving up a lead this postseason.

Earlier today Andrés Muñoz told the media that when they leave their apartment, he and his wife leave the TV on so that Matilda (their cat) can watch the game.

The Decoy fit is honestly fire. Shohei should wear that at the next ASG red carpet
