Bobby as a catcher in a baseball au fits so well because they’re kind of the ring leaders of sorts because they can see the entire field. It’s all akin to rowing in that everyone on the field is facing one way whereas, much like a coxswain, the catcher is facing the opposite direction. I understand it’s not the case in baseball, but in softball if the catcher gets a hit and ends up on base, they can put in a courtesy runner to take their place so that the catcher can have extra time to put on their gear before the next inning. This would definitely benefit Bobby who had severe asthma so the less running he has to do the better.

I can literally picture Ulbrickson signaling what pitch to throw to Bobby who is then to signal that to Don, but Bobby does what Bobby does best and just signals Don to throw something else entirely. Not like totally random, I mean I’ll bet he studied the opposing team’s line up and knows each batters strengths and weaknesses as far as hitting pitches goes.

Maybe Bobby got kicked off the team initially because he had the varsity pitcher to throw a particular pitch, but the pitcher didn’t hit his spot (ie told to throw low inside but ended up throwing the ball right down the middle either on accident or purpose) and the batter hit a home run.

EDIT TO ADD THIS: again softball related but Bobby is such a shoe in for hitting no. 2 like he’s so slapper/push bunter coded it’s insane

Here's a detective Mothman character of mine- his name is Detective Locke Santiano, I just call him Locke. He works with Homicide and missing persons and winds up bumping into a handful of @crypticpuzzlebox 's characters. I initially made him quickly for a little spin-off thing where he would pop into a scene with his Bigfoot partner in crime who works with him to ask questions about a missing person and leave the scene but I kinda fell in love with him and now heavily ship him with my friend's silly Conspiracy theorist character Harlo.

Roughly once every four years I ponder the alternate timeline where I didn't get scared and quit college rugby after a single practice

cw: emetophobia (I think that's the word for it)

Ever gotten into a situation so stressful that it made you have a fever, cry, vomit, and be so nauseous that if you even think about it it takes you back to that state, so you can't post about what happened in particular on Tumblr? No? Well I- I kinda did-

liz you are so valid for your sports opinion, i prefer basketball too. my main grievance with football is that it's an hour game dragged out to four 💀

oof maybe that's why I couldn't get into it when I was little because it was soooooooo slow. like why would I watch it when I have my books and polly pockets and barbie pc games???

Alto U: Yes! OMG, Alto N, this is exciting!

Alto N: yeah… *looks like Alto L and Alto H killed their pet*

my very first internet handle was CINCISLUGGER1990 because my mother had to make something up and she panicked

yes I was born in Cincinnati, though at the time we no longer lived there.

I played softball for like... a year, maybe two TOPS when I was in elementary school. I enjoyed this activity solely because we got to go to The Cone when we inevitably lost our games. I was the player with the best on-base record on the team because I simply never swung the bat and the other small children couldn't throw the ball for shit so I always got walked.

mama why did you let the entire internet know that I was like 7-8? seems like a bad call.

My leg fucking hurts my god

[louisapennyfeather2021]

Born to be a professional softball player, forced to be the 12 year old who almost shattered her dad's kneecap with a line drive that would've hit him in a much worse spot if he hadn't pulled up his leg high enough😔
