Welcome to the official baseball-focused column of Womansplaining, Scoring Position. As a noted baseball fan and frequent shitposter, I have a lot of thoughts about the baseball teams that my mental health depends on: the Dodgers and the Mariners. I’ve decided to make those thoughts everyone else’s problem.
Here’s what this column is not: stats-focused, intelligent baseball analysis, a forum to discuss prospects or trades or anything else like that. Instead, I wanted to make a space where I could write about all the weirdness of the game that I love: the fights, the walk-up music, the butts, the uniforms (ranked), the idiosyncrasies.
Baseball is a weird sport. It’s unpredictable. It defies all logic. You can create every advanced stat in the world to try and forecast the outcome – and many people have tried – but it’s impossible.
Let’s get into it. See you guys in Scoring Position.
