I love how different this fic was to the usual sports fic. It wasn't about turning a mediocre team around into an amazing one, or anything like that. Jared was making a comeback, but it wasn't in a dramatic fashion either. But I'm not disappointed! In fact, it made the fic feel more like how things are in real life.

The real story was in Jared and Jensen's relationship, and I love how quietly that evolved. Actually, I love how subtle and engrossing the fic was. I HAD to read it all the way without stopping, because I was so bemused by how everything was unfolding. The domesticy at the end was utterly charming and funny. :-P

I am resisting the urge to make a baseball analogy about this fic... my brain wants to say knocked it out of the park, etc.... but I won't do it! I won't!

Because this fic is way too good for cliches. It was smart, and funny, and real. It showed an affection and understanding of the game of baseball, and affection and understanding for the two lead characters. I appreciated that you didn't have Jensen go all drama queen when he found out about Jared's deal - you took the high road, and made the character more interesting in the process.

I enjoyed the hell out of this Big Bang - wonderful, wonderful work!

This was a pleasure to read, especially enjoyed the portrayal of Ackles competence and Jared's responsiveness to that and acknowledgement.

Awesome! If I love something it's sports fiction!
I liked the idea of Jensen being a grumpy, moody asshole. What I loved best was that Jared didn't change that really, just took the frustrated irrational aggression off a little. So Jensen is not a bright smiles and petting kittens person, okay. That really was what made me love this fic best.
... and the thought of J2 in those reeeeally tight pants *ROFL*

Thanks for sharing! *hugs* B
