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.

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!

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

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!

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

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.
