hiii i hope youre enjoying le mans rn! unrelated but id like to get into baseball and youre one of the only blogs i know that follows it, do you have any tips for where to start? :)

Hi hi hello dearest Anon! I had a great time at Le Mans, thank you, sorry for taking this long to answer your ask, hope you're still interested in checking baseball out!

I was drafting a writeup on how and where to start following the MLB, but @baiyunli beat me out to it with this primer that's better than anything I could ever put together—I'm a new fan myself, I'm sure I would've missed so many things. I used to watch it growing up, so getting back into it did feel 'easier' than if I'd gone in completely oblivious of the sport. I'm going to put a little addition to their wonderful post, some notes from my short career of being a baseball fan.

Under the cut: WHERE TO WATCH BLOGS TO FOLLOW NARRATIVES OF NARRATIVES: THE WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC 2023 RECOMMENDED FURTHER READING: BASEBALL, THE US FOREIGN POLICY, AND AMERICAN IMPERIALISM

WHERE TO WATCH

MLB.TV The official streaming service. A season pass for all team is now $60, blackouts and restrictions apply if you're located in the market. With a mlb.com account, you can watch a selected game for free each day. MLB66 (mlb66 [dot] ir) The layout is a bit unintuitive, but it's by far the best 🏴‍☠️ streaming site for MLB. Click on the Select Game button on the top right, and navigate to the game you want to watch. On the bottom right, there's an option to select the home or away broadcast. It can take a few seconds to a minute to load, but so far, it has worked well for me. FSL (mk [dot] freestreams-live1 [dot] top) My go-to for sports streaming. The domain changes regularly, it's worth joining the Discord server for updates.

THE TUMBLR FANDOM EXISTS, I PROMISE: BLOGS TO FOLLOW

There's a kind of nostalgic longing for a time I've never been a part of when I scoured Tumblr tags to find mid-late 2010s baseballblr posts: hundreds of notes, some reaching quadruple digits. Anything going double digits feel like breaching containment now, but there are still some blogs posting about baseball on Tumblr.

Here are some, sorted by their allegiance—by no means a complete list and it will be very biased, but it's a start...

GENERAL BASEBALL BLOGS (and those whose allegiance I can't quite place and I'm scared of offending by assuming but I love your blogs I'm so sorry guys) @ baiyunli, once again thank you for the wonderful primer! @ nacseo-scrawl, + Braves, also the go-to for Bananaball content @ greinkeephus, + Phillies and Red Sox @ pindergarten, + the A's @ hootball, for your Americacentric sportsball needs (NHL, MLB, NFL...) PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES @ soyouwinagain, my most beloved, and @ toyotagazoo, also my dearest, who dragged me down to this hell with them... @ kurchatovium, my original Philly sports brain rot enabler (GO BIRDS) @ jcamilov06, + for all your Philadelphia sports needs @ phillyphangirl @ janosglove TORONTO BLUE JAYS @ donttelltheelff @ byebyebichette @ danny-jansen @ 7th-inningstretch @ based--ball @ kevin-gausman LOS ANGELES ANGELS @ whatincornation, the most wonderful and delightful artist in all of sportsblr @ iichliwps @ auditers BOSTON RED SOX @ eovaldi @ barbiebobby PITTSBURGH PIRATES @ fryinreynolds ATLANTA BRAVES @ colonel-clucker @ emietook SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS @ everydaywynns MILWAUKEE BREWERS @ kimsparis NEW YORK YANKEES @ judgerizzo @ gleyby LOS ANGELES DODGERS @ miggys

(Please @ me if you want to be included in/excluded from this list!)

THE WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC OR HOW A SINGLE AT BAT PERMANENTLY ALTERED MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY AND MADE ME FALL DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH BASEBALL

Well, two at-bats, actually, but let's not talk about that one and instead talk about the storied matchup, the one now written in immortality and will be talked about for years to come.

Baseball is considered a slow-burner sport by many, even more so before the official introduction of the pitch clock, 'boring' even on the surface especially compared to sports with constant high-octane action like hockey or basketball. But as with sports in general, among the things that makes the game so exciting (or devastating) is the buildup to the matchup—the storylines and the narratives, as well as the ebb and flow of the clash itself with how the game is structured—it's not over until it's over, a comeback to tie the game and a walkoff win is always possible.

The final of the 2023 World Baseball Classic is one of the prime example of all the stars aligning to make a historic matchup between the best of the best.

Mike Trout is a three-time MVP in the MLB, and is considered as one of the best baseball players of all time. Ohtani Shohei is nicknamed 'The Unicorn' by fans and experts alike, being the first elite two-way player (a player who pitches and bats) and is regarded as the most talented baseball player of all time. They are both in their primes and are currently considered to be two of the best players in the MLB. The term 'generational talent' tends to be thrown around casually in sports—for Trout and Ohtani, it's more than a worthy title.

Ohtani and Trout both play for the Los Angeles Angels in the MLB, with Trout being one of the reasons why Ohtani chose to play for the Angels in the first place. They've been good friends since Ohtani signed with the Angels leading up to the 2018 season. Unfortunately the Angels haven't found success despite both players being extremely successful, breaking long-standing records left right and center. Many consider it to be a shame that Trout and Ohtani were 'wasting' the prime years of their careers not playing 'meaningful' games since the Angels have not made it to the playoffs since their last appearance in 2014.

So we have two of the best players in the game, who happen to be teammates and good friends, playing in the final of baseball's equivalent of the FIFA World Cup on opposite sides representing their respective countries. Added to that is of course the novelty of an elite and truly one of a kind two-way player in Ohtani, pitching to one of the best hitters of all time in Trout.

The matchup was pretty unlikely in the first place too because of how batting orders work, and yet everything aligned for them to be up against each other in the top of the 9th—final barring extra innings—with two outs.

Japan were leading 3–2: strike Trout out, and Ohtani would win it all for Japan.

Here's the link to the full game on YouTube.

The whole tournament was such a treat all throughout, with exciting pool games, upsets, and rallying comebacks in the knockout stage. Two standout games for me are the quarterfinals matchup between Venezuela and the USA and the semifinals clash between Mexico and Japan. Both games were rife with gutsy baserunning and hitting, back-and-forth offense and lead change, and topped off by clutch plays to lead the respective teams to victory.

RECOMMENDED FURTHER READING: BASEBALL, THE US FOREIGN POLICY, AND AMERICAN IMPERIALISM

As much as we can weave romantics about America's pastime, it's also inseparable from how the US projected itself abroad in its foreign and military policy. My dearest @outofbodyinjury's research project led me to look into the history of the sport and its role in USA's long history of war and foreign intervention.

Starting from the 19th and 20th century as the game was growing and all throughout the 21st century, for example in response to 9/11 and the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions, baseball has been omnipresent as a tool to promote and serve US interests. The book The Empire Strikes Out: How Baseball Sold U.S. Foreign Policy and Promoted the American Way Abroad by Robert Elias dives deep into this topic. I have yet to find a DRM-free .epub of the book, but I will try to rip it if there's interest. Here's an .m4b rip of the audiobook, and here's a condensed version of the book: an article by the same author published in The International Journal of the History of Sport.

Once again: @baiyunli is the MVP for their primer, it has pretty much everything you need to know to start getting into the sport, so check that out. Don't hesitate to send me asks or DMs if you have questions! And I fully believe sports teams pick you: it could be through a player that happens to compel you, or the mascot, or the colors of the unis, or just for no reason at all. You'll know and feel it when you're chosen. That being said: LET'S GO PHILS!

And I hope you'll fall in love with baseball as I did :]

tagged by @cjflint to post nine of my favorite album covers. thank you i love these <3

tagging @josefnewgayden @carossettetape @armored-core6 @percocet @maranello @toyotagazoo if you want to do this heh

songs by Adrianne Lenker / Preacher’s Daughter by Ethel Cain / Modus Vivendi by 070 Shake / I Need to Start a Garden by Haley Heynderickx / Black Holes and Revelations by Muse / The New Abnormal by The Strokes / Cavalcade by black midi / Caravana by WOS / Titanic Rising by Weyes Blood

[whitewolfcraft]

I’ve been tagged by @powerangersemo to list my favourite song from each album by an artist/band. I went with Muse cause I get to see them live this year! This is harder than I thought. I also went from newest to oldest album even though I listed it the other way around here.

Showbiz - Unintended Okay I barely listen to this album so this was a difficult one to pick. I think I like Unintended the most.

Origin of Symmetry - Space Dementia Space innit. Also more classical music influence. Classical music is very good!

Absolution - Time is Running Out I’m not that familiar with this album, but I can sing this one along so good enough for me.

Black Holes and Revelations - Supermassive Black Hole Look. Knights of Cydonia is a really good song. But some days I just have to put on Supermassive Black Hole and sing along as loud and as bad as I can cause I sure can’t hit those high notes.

The Resistance - Uprising This is maybe the most unoriginal choice but this is the first Muse song I heard and why I started listening to them so you know, gotta pick this one. I Belong to You (+Mon Coeur S’Ouvre a Ta Voix) is also very good. Also United States of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage) for the classical music influence and the ending.

The 2nd Law - The 2nd Law: Unsustainable This album has a lot of songs I really like, but I’m a bit of a sucker for their slightly weirder songs. Madness and Survival are both very good, but if I have to make a pick, it’s this one.

Drones - Drones I thought long and hard about this one but I have to go with Drones. The lyrics and the way their voices overlap and they way it sounds like a prayer in church and the way the album ends with this song.

Simulation Theory - Pressure This already was a really good song and then they did the version with the UCLA Bruin Marching Band and I was sold.

Will of the People - Ghosts (How Can I Move On) A gorgeous piano piece that makes me sad, what more can I say

I’ll tag @meova101 @toyotagazoo @jasonkelce @soyouwinagain @outofbodyinjury known lovers of music (if you wanna do this of course!)

Niclas Grönholm/Timmy Hansen - Storm

I think I might have accidentally emulated your writing style here, Noora. Oops...

⁎

“Hansen.”

Timmy has never heard his name so charged with meaning: a question, a reprimand, an offer.

Niclas has always been no bark, all bite. Candid and straightforward, nearly to a fault. The storm in his eyes matches the one brewing above, claps of thunder rumbling through the Ardennes growing more and more frequent as the darkening sky swallows the last traces of sunlight.

Timmy pulls his helmet off and nods.

–

Pain has a way of heightening one’s senses. 

It isn’t blows they’re trading—they’ve been racing too long to know better than to assume deliberate ill intent—but the violence feels like it might as well be.

The sharp ache from Niclas biting down on the flesh of Timmy’s shoulder blade makes him all the more aware of Niclas's fingers digging bruises into his hips, of the sting of his split-open lips. Tears bead hot in the corners of his eyes, and Timmy isn’t sure if it’s from the pain or the frustration and disappointment or something else entirely.

It does feel like all his efforts have been undone with perfect, malicious, surgical precision. Each domino stone toppling the next to crush his championship bid, taking Niclas as collateral. 

Motorsports can be so capricious and cruel.

Niclas leaves without a word. Outside, the heavens start to open.

F1 GIFMAKER ASK GAME. tagged by @ivettel and @leclerqued, tysm ♡

1. which drivers do you mainly make gifs for?  ok so. i've not made f1 gifs in a while, (am i still considered an f1 gifmaker?) but i guess mostly charles, lewis and mick. occasionally seb and other drivers. crazy to think i was one of the mick blogs™ a while back, but you know how that turned out.

2. out of the above (if more than 1), who’s your fav to make gifs for and why? i think charles? he has a very nice and expressive face to gif. he’s also my favorite driver so that’s that kdfj

3. link the favorite gifset you’ve made and tell me a little about it  just as a general rule, i’ve discovered that all of my greatest hits came from me wanting to gift something to my friends heh. from those, i think my favorites are the sebchal doodle edit, because i had to learn a bunch of shit for it to work, and also the eternal schulott linked lives edit, because i like the parallels a lot.

4. link your fav gifset from another creator it’s no secret that my favorite gifmakers will always be fir and ames (other besties are also immensely talented, specially when it comes to graphics), so my favorite works my them are: glory and gore gifset (ouch), arabella x charles gifset (for me!!! i still don’t know how this set doesn’t have 1k+ notes...) by @josefnewgayden, and seb’s tribute gifset (OUCH) and roc seb gifset (what the actual fuck how can a person do something like this) by @ivettel. for more incredible sets and graphics, i have my favorite posts tag, if you want to check it out!

5. off the top of your head, tell me about the most memorable tag you've received i don’t think i remember one in particular, but i love the “OP WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!!!!!” tags. my favorite heh.

6. which f1 media source (post race interviews, sf full accesses, no brakes, etc) is your fav to make gifs from? oof. again, not done f1 gifs in a while. but my favorite are from the actual races. a win/pole position, choosing nice shots to gif? yeah.. that’s my actual favorite. too bad it’s been long since i’ve got anything to celebrate dkjd. last thing i remember loving giffing was charles’ pole in italy, or charles’ win in austria. 

7. tag someone else! i have no idea who’s tagged already but if not, @josefnewgayden, @toyotagazoo, @h-f-k, @hockenheim, @finalgirlcharlesleclerc if you haven’t done this/you want to <3
