I've been getting a lot of comments about the Pitcher List glossary terms and how it's hard to keep track of them & don't understand why I do it.
Let me explain.
1) Having a quick term is faster than reading multiple sentences. Saying "He's a Toby" is instantly understandable. This is the #1 reason why I do it.
2) Seriously, it saves me so much time not having to describe the same thing five times in five different ways in the same article to satisfy my internal writing critiques. I only make terms like SWATCH when it happens all the time.
3) We added tooltips years ago for these terms. See a word in bold & dark red? Just hover (or tap on mobile) and it'll explain it quickly.
4) It's FUN. Part of the joy of what I do is challenging myself creatively and having an outlet for my silly humor.
5) I actively enjoy ideating with the community about new terms and nicknames.
6) We have a glossary on our site that houses all random terms we've had over the years, and it's entertaining to view the library of archived jokes.
7) It's important for me not to write like a textbook. This is fantasy baseball. It's fun. I need to have these little jokes to keep it from being a slog.
I hope this helps, y'all. I know it's not for everyone, and using the tooltips should get you up to speed quickly if it's confusing.
