They say baseball is a game of patience, focus, and skill.
They clearly haven’t played Doodle Baseball, where your teammates are snacks, your opponents are desserts, and your emotions are an unpredictable rollercoaster.
If you’ve ever lost an hour of your life to this tiny game, you’ll recognize these seven emotional stages — guaranteed.
1. Curiosity – “What’s this cute little doodle?”
It starts innocently. You’re just checking your browser. You see a cute hot dog holding a bat.
You think, “Sure, why not?”
Five minutes later, you’re sweating like it’s Game 7 of the World Series.
2. Confidence – “I’ve got this. Easy.”
The first few pitches come in slow. You swing. You hit. You’re a legend.
You start thinking maybe you’ve got natural talent. Maybe you were born to lead a team of pretzels and corn dogs to glory.
Then the ice cream pitcher smirks. You don’t know it yet, but you’re about to be humbled.
3. Denial – “That pitch didn’t count.”
Swing. Miss.
Swing. Miss.
Swing again. Still miss.
You stare at the screen in disbelief. You whisper, “The timing’s off.” You convince yourself your mouse lagged. You blame gravity.
Everyone’s a professional athlete until the pickle throws a curveball.
4. Rage – “I will destroy you, snack pitcher!”
Now it’s personal. You’re not just playing for fun anymore. You’re avenging every embarrassing strikeout.
You start muttering things like, “Not today, ice cream. Not today.”
Your coworkers glance over. You don’t care. The corn dog depends on you.
5. Hope – “Wait, I might actually win this!”
Then it happens. That perfect swing.
The ball soars. Fireworks explode. The crowd of peanuts goes wild.
You lean back, grinning. “I’m unstoppable,” you whisper to yourself, even though you know deep down that another curveball is coming for your soul.
6. Despair – “Why do I do this to myself?”
The hot dog strikes out. The corn dog fumbles.
You sigh. You swear you’ll never play again.
You close the tab… only to reopen it thirty seconds later.
7. Acceptance – “This is who I am now.”
You’re not even mad anymore. You’ve found peace in the chaos.
You know you’ll never beat your high score, but that’s okay — you’re here for the joy, the laughs, and the goofy snacks who believe in you.
You’ve become one with Doodle Baseball.
Final Thoughts
It’s funny how something so small can bring so much happiness.
Doodle Baseball isn’t just a game — it’s a mood, a mindset, a lifestyle.
Sometimes, when life throws you curveballs, all you can do is grab your virtual bat… and swing like a hot dog who refuses to give up.
