Hey babes!

No recap this week - still working in Europe and managing time zones. But I think this episode will be a fun one! ~

Baseball is a sport built on rituals, superstitions, strange traditions, and stories that sound completely made up.

In this episode, we’re diving into some of baseball’s weirdest quirks, from lucky bats and no-hitter superstitions to racing sausages, rally cats, live bear mascots, and the unwritten rules that somehow everyone follows (except for the Yankees, because obviously).

But underneath all the weirdness is something deeper: the reason baseball becomes so meaningful to the people who love it.

Whether you’re brand new to the game or you’ve been watching for years, this episode is a reminder that baseball isn’t just a sport. It’s a collection of stories, traditions, and tiny moments that connect generations of fans.

• Baseball superstitions
• Unwritten rules
• Stadium traditions
• Weird baseball history
• Why baseball feels so human

Hey babes!

Welcome back to another episode of Baseball for Girls - the first episode of the new Tiny Baseball Lessons series! No recap this week, I've been living my southern France dream

Baseball stats can feel like learning an entirely new language ~ 

In this Tiny Baseball Lessons episode, we’re breaking down some of the most common baseball stats you hear during games, without making it overly complicated. These are key terms every beginner needs to know to understand what the heck those baseball broadcasters are talking about!

We cover:

• batting average
• ERA
• RBIs
• strikeouts
• home runs
• pitcher wins and losses
• OPS

and what these stats actually tell you about a player.

Whether you’re brand new to baseball or just tired of pretending you know what OPS means (like I have for the past few years!)… this episode is for you!

Hey babes!

This week’s recap is coming to you from the south of France — jet lag, late-night baseball, and all.

In this episode, we talk about why mid-May is the point in the season where teams start revealing who they really are. The Dodgers and Braves are starting to feel inevitable, the Padres continue to hold steady, and struggling teams like the Rockies are beginning to show how mindset can impact performance over a 162-game season.

I also cover:
- why the Phillies suddenly feel alive again
- the Mets quietly turning things around
- the Yankees cooling off??
- Kyle Schwarber’s ridiculous home run pace
- dominant pitching performances from the Phillies
- why division games matter so much
- and the upcoming series I’m most excited to watch this week

Plus, this week’s soft take:
~confidence is contagious, but so is self-doubt~

Hey babes!

In this episode of Baseball for Girls, I’m talking about one of my favorite things about baseball: how slow it is.

From Baseball Zen and broadcaster storytelling to 162-game seasons and learning how to fail publicly without losing your sense of self, baseball has become one of the biggest nervous system regulators in my life.

This episode is less about stats and more about the emotional side of the game:

• delayed gratification 
• patience 
• resilience 
• belonging 
• learning to try again after a bad game, bad week, or bad season

Whether you’re already a baseball fan or have never watched a game in your life, I hope this episode helps you see why baseball feels so comforting, human, and beautiful to so many people.

In this episode of Baseball for Girls, I’m talking about all the things that completely confused me when I first started watching baseball.

From trying to understand the count and why pitchers shake their heads before every pitch, to figuring out what “0-for-3” means and how it affects batting averages. Baseball felt wildly complicated when I first fell in love with it back in 2022! But now, I understand the game so much better, and you will too!

I talk about:

• How I accidentally became obsessed with baseball 
• Why the Orioles made me fall in love with the sport 
• The weird beauty of baseball’s slow pace and sudden chaos 
• Counts, walks, plate appearances, and pitcher strategy 
• What a PitchCom is and why pitchers nod before pitches 
• How I learned to keep score 
• And why I created Baseball for Girls in the first place

If you’ve ever tried to watch baseball and felt completely lost, this episode is for you! You are not “bad” at baseball. You’re just learning a sport that has a million tiny moving pieces and an entire language of its own.

Hey babes! 

Welcome back to another weekly recap of everything you need to know from around the league, without having to watch every single game.

This week (April 13–19), we’re breaking down a surprisingly dominant NL Central, where every single team is above .500 (yes, really!), plus all the sweeps, streaks, and standout moments you might’ve missed.

We get into:

• Why the NL Central is the hottest division in baseball right now
• A full rundown of this week’s sweeps (and who should be nervous…)
• The Mets’ 11-game losing streak + other teams cooling down
• Sneaky teams to watch like the Angels (hello, Mike Trout comeback era?)
• Shohei Ohtani’s insane 51-game on-base streak
• Current home run leaders and why the race is just getting started

Plus, we do a little temperature check on who’s heating up vs. cooling down, and end with a soft reminder that baseball (and life) is all about showing up, even when things aren’t going your way 

And of course, we preview some of the most interesting matchups for the week ahead so you know what to keep an eye on.

Whether you watched every game or none at all… I got you.
