From everyone I’m seeing on here it’s a great time to do some networking!
I’m a Mathematics Undergraduate at Durham University with a hobby for creating baseball content.

I currently blend articles and podcasts as my main content, with a mix between the Giants and general MLB content.
This was a fantastic read from a fantastic collection of contributors. Go and give my review and read and if you like the sound of it, go and grab a copy yourself!
From our British friend @alexwilliamsonmlb.bsky.social at Batflipsandnerds.com: (thank you Alex)

"If you’re a nerd like myself, I can’t recommend this enough"

"[T]hey can get their point and ideas across to your average person"

"insightful read"

"impressive"

Don’t like to moan about umpires, but wow this is poor. Zone has been significantly bigger for the Giants today…

Nice to be on a hot streak going into the first home stand, especially with it being an early game I can watch… Hope everyone enjoys there Friday night watching a HOF pitcher deal

I love stories like Koss, and I felt it was best to wait till after his debut to write about him. Seeing his wife and daughter supporting him was absolutely the highlight of that game for me!

Enjoyed writing this one a lot, big thank you to @blandalytics.pitcherlist.com, this really is an ode to Process+ and it’s brilliance!

WILMER FLORES. Some really impressive at bats this innings, long may they continue
March 27, 2025 at 10:26 PM
Wow what an at bat by Ramos, I’ve missed seeing him do his thing the past few months that’s for sure

GB baseball have released their advertisement to hire a new head coach.

Just submitted my application along with my 30 year OOTP save, wish me luck!

Perhaps forgot it’s not opening day today… but on the plus side I have two articles out today!

Roupp vs Birdsong for spot 5 now. Sad to see Harrison struggle but was definitely the right call

I’m a little late to the news but wanted to thank Drew Spencer for everything he has done for British baseball. Whilst it sucks to see him leave, every Brit hopes he can continue to thrive in pinstripes and keep making a name for himself. There is no one more deserving than him.

Hi all, I don't like to be political on here. I'm English and have never been to America so why should I talk about it? I like to focus on baseball and baseball only.

It has now reached a point where politics has interfered with baseball in a devastating way. This is my take on it from the outside
March 19, 2025 at 2:56 PM
A question for a @batflipsandnerds.bsky.social article I’m writing, I promise it’s related to baseball…

Would you employ person 1 or 2? Please like the one you would and if you have time comment on why, particularly if you’ve been involved in hiring processes!

Eldridge and Jordan being scratched is really unfortunate. Particularly was excited to get a look at Jordan. Should be fun none the less!
March 15, 2025 at 5:08 PM
Another article from me, this time of Doval and why last year was not anything to be too worried about.

Giants All-Star Reliever Looking For Bounce Back Year
Camilo Doval began last year as the Giants closer for years to come. Now he's fighting to remain in the bullpen.

Jung Hoo Lee mentioned! Darius is a big Giants fan so like all of us he knows how good Lee is.

It's been a really fun spring training so far. Not just because we keep winning, but the competitions going on. Love to know your opinions on all the competitions in camp so far!

Rising Competition for Spots on Giants’ Opening Day Lineup
The Giants have the best record in all of baseball this spring. With so many players having something to fight for, it is easy to see why.

Yaz is a good baseball player but an even better person. This is my take on those that feel he’s not good enough. Plus a celebration of the great work he does outside of baseball.

It is finally time I try and find a way to visit Oracle Park. Any tips from people on getting to San Francisco from England. Plus, on the other side what places to stay at and things I gotta do! Cost is unsurprisingly the main issue so any money saving tips are equally as helpful! Thank you all :)

What a fantastic interview that was with Ramos!

Loved his honesty and he’s just a great story of persistence. So many wrote him off at 22, 23 years old
March 8, 2025 at 9:54 PM
Don’t think it should be with the Giants, but I do hope Villar gets a shot somewhere this year.

It will be interesting to see if he gets through waivers or not at the start of the year…

Happy international women’s day to everyone. I’d like to take a second to talk about the incredible sport of cricket and the success it continues to have for women.

‘The Hundred’ has been highly controversial for its radical format but has been amazing for the women’s game.
March 8, 2025 at 9:06 PM
Wade and Lee setting it up for a Chapman bomb makes me very happy.

Love pre-season, so much optimism and excitement
March 8, 2025 at 8:54 PM
Congratulations to Lawrence Butler for his extension, really like him as a player so nice to see the Athletics appreciating his talent! Gotta keep hold of players like him as long as possible.
