What’s new with me? Oh, just the usual. Rollin’ twine and Chasen Shreve

This one hurts. I got to see Montero play once, the night Betances and Brackman debuted. The Rays won in a blowout, but Montero and Betances gave us something to dream on. Montero got three hits. His future was limitless then. Nobody knew his time with NYY, MLB, and the world would be so brief 🖤

Crushed to see the news of Jesús Montero's death. Kind of can't believe it. September 2011 still feels like it was just yesterday.
All our best to Montero's friends and family. We live in a cruel world sometimes, but community will help you through.

Former Yankees catcher Jesús Montero passes away at 35

A one-time Baby Bomber standout is gone too soon.

Multiple screens are your friend. That’s how I handle the couple weeks of overlap between figure skating season and the baseball postseason

If my Grownup Baseball Crush Tony Vitello ends up managing the Giants, maybe I’ll actually go back to watching them more often

Thanks so much for the shoutout! I don’t know when you get back from DC but we can compare notes on why Little Selevko is dressing like the David S. Pumpkins backup dancers (I have no thesis for that)

If I don’t have time to do a “what to watch for” post before Friday, you should know there’s a guy who’s like Ohtani and Judge rolled into one amazing unicorn on skates. Nobody else on earth can do the quad axel, only Ilia Malinin. He’s the clear frontrunner for Olympic gold. Watch now, look smart

Reminder: baseball is ending soon, yuck. But you can join the fun off-season journey starting this Friday, and signing up for my newsletter to get you into it is free! Don’t you want to sound smart when the Olympics come around? That’s what you have me for patreon.com/figureskatin...

Sounds like a full-scale invasion. Like the whole group was escorted by Mounties across the border and all the way to Seattle

Shana Bartels @shanabartels.bsky.social · 3d

All of us, really. Still scarred from that series

Shana Bartels @shanabartels.bsky.social · 3d

The crowd noise on the TV broadcast sounds like half of British Columbia drove down for the game

Shana Bartels @shanabartels.bsky.social · 5d

Well at least that game got interesting

I feel like the ALCS starting in Toronto is going to suddenly blow a lot of non-Canadians’ minds when they find out tomorrow that Canada does Thanksgiving on a Monday in October because they’re fucking weird

Shana Bartels @shanabartels.bsky.social · 7d

And yet as stupid as plenty of folks can be on here, we all know the old place is a billion times worse 🫣

I would really prefer not to see so much of Scorebook Amy’s fake tits, or whatever her name is

See you guys, it’s just like baseball, except there’s no Terry Francona to refer to it as “intestinal turmoil” patreon.com/figureskatingforbaseballnerds

I thought maybe I would get some writing done today. Youthful optimism

Keith Law @keithlaw.bsky.social · 8d

I remember how, before this game started, I thought, it'll be done around 11, I'll finish the dishes then, take out the trash, get in bed and maybe read for an hour. I was so much younger then
