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.

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. (Gorgeous cover, too.) www.instagram.com/p/DPmL8eQEhXV/

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”).

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.

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).

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

Alex. Also I’m mostly sad I woke up before the inevitable Shohei/Charli XCX collab.

is2g I had a dream that Taylor Swift was having a feud with Shohei Ohtani. I’m fuzzy on the details, though I believe it was non-romantic in nature. Either way this is as clear a sign as my subconscious has given me that I need to spend less time online.

My mind was blown when I found out 1. there are different TMNT themes and the one most people know ("Heroes in a half shell, turtle power!") isn't the one I knew growing up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=epVb...
2. The original theme was written by Chuck Lorre?!

South Bay folks, close your windows and mask up. If you're driving, set air to recycle. The Chevron refinery in El Segundo just blew up.

My friend Keith Kahn-Harris wrote this prescient piece a decade ago. What he anticipated has now, unsurprisingly, happened in Manchester today. It calls for compassion and solidarity, not political point scoring: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I dread the cacophony from right and left on how we should react to antisemitism. What’s important is supporting our survival as a community in the UK

if your response to this - a basic statement of sympathy about an attack on a synagogue - is to bring up Israel, please delete your account

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 8d

I am sickened by today’s attack in Manchester. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and we must do all we can to stomp it out. I am grateful to first responders and congregants who showed incredible bravery, and I am praying for those who were killed.

My husband says the first one all the time.

“Go to bread” might also be my answer, but otherwise: “TRAMAMPOLINE! TROMBOPOLINE!!!” or “Potato man.” “Where the hell have you been??”

Willow @rockshrimp.bsky.social · 9d

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.
