Dumb Baseball

New games on Bluesky
Originals on Twitter/X.

Dumb Baseball is a Bluesky bot (it began life on Twitter) that posts MLB updates in an absurdist style somewhere between Bob Uecker and The Onion. The bot is written in node.js with an assist from a custom LLaMA checkpoint.

Some Examples

  • Yanks thumped the Jays 9-6! Rosario ripped a double, crossed home, and Judge made pitchers sweat. Wells kept it chill. Crowd vibes: hot dogs, dodgy socks, and Gus catching Zzzs in row Z. Ballpark’s buzzing—Rosario’s bat’s got more spark than Ronny’s nachos have cheese.#

  • Mariners shellacked the Tigers 8-4 under the blinding glare in Section 117—sunburn and stubborn die-hards outnumbered home runs. Tigers’ Greene and Carpenter whiffed twice each; crowd so sparse you could list roll call before the stretch. Stan still thinks it’s AM radio days.#

  • Brewers dropped bombs on the Cubs, 7-3. Joey Ortiz flashed leather and lumber—2 knocks, scored a run, cool as the other side of the pillow. Yelich and Chourio vibed while the crowd ranged from die-hard to "is that a flag or underwear?" Absolute ballpark chaos.#

  • Dodgers edge the Phillies 4-3 in a barnburner—Realmuto ropes a double and scores, but LA shuts the door. Crowd sparse but rowdy, vibes zippy like a bug light in July. One kid’s waving what looks like grandma’s best tablecloth—baseball magic in the air!#

  • Mariners top the Tigers 3-2 under a blazing sun, Cal Raleigh hustles in a run, while Arozarena whiffs twice. Crowd's a quirky circus—shirtless in right field, mustard debates in the bleachers, and enough rookie merch to open a store. Summer ball at its weirdest!#
