[Long-ish comment incoming, but it's because this game is good.]
Me and my friends did not get to partake in the cultural event of Blaseball as it was happening, and are currently patching together a understanding of it post humorously. This collides perfectly with the fact we are also a group who plays many TTRPGs together. Naturally, I noodled around and found B.L.A.S.E, which I hadn't even realized I already owned.
Cue the frantic discord message to our server-- YOU GUYS WANNA PLAY BALL? 'YES YES YES'
We haven't even gotten into narrative yet, just a test game to play with the mechanics and a few extra imposed rules (these relate to the campaign plot I'm cooking), and we are having a BLAST-- as of posting this comment, we're in the 6th inning and the Dallas Catboys (the PCs' team) are clobbering the away team.
This game is amazing. I hope you're still developing it; even if not, it's already given my group a wonderful time and I anticipate even more excitement and fun once we can start our campaign properly.
I've done a quick test of the mechanics by rolling up a pitcher and having them pitch half an inning- They sucked at every pitching stat except for violence, which they had maxed out, and proceeded to pitch a shutout that left 4 injured, reducing their morale so much that every single roll became a success by the end. This was one eighteenth of a whole game, and the character I rolled didn't even have good stats, yet it was unimaginably hype. Highly recommended.

TLDR: 11/10, will blase again.
