Hey Fridays! Went ahead and combined these into a proposed Fridays section, edited for wiki voice. Let me know what you think!

On Day 56 of Season 12, Hotdogfingers opened the game pitching for the Yellowstone Magic against the Hawai'i Fridays. James "Jimmy" Mora, a rotation pitcher for the Fridays since Season 1, found himself contemplating her time in the league as well as hir own as he watched her take the mound. Mora was later quoted in an interview as saying:

So, I've been here since the beginning, right? And I've been through a lot, but I’ve found this great sense of peace with the rest of the team. I’m content. But—maybe a little too content, y'know? And lately I've been feeling this sort of… this itch to explore, to see more of what Blaseball has to offer.
So this game I look across the field, and I see Jaylen Hotdogfingers, right? And she's been through a lot, too. And she's clearly better than, you know, she has been… But in her eyes, I can see, there's still turmoil. And so, just for one moment, I think, 'I wish Jaylen could feel as at peace as I have with the Fridays.' And when I thought that, well, Our Lady—that's Our Lady of Perpetual Friday—appeared to me and said "Granted," and nudged me toward the mound.

Some have theorized that Mora's wish was amplified by the Feedback weather, as well as potentially by the unexplained time-altering phenomena occurring in the Sovereign Nation of Hawai'i, rumored to be caused by the mysterious Our Lady of Perpetual Friday. Whatever the cause may have been, Mora and Hotdogfingers switched teams within a minute of play commencing. Though sad to see their longtime pitcher depart, the Fridays sent hir off with their best wishes and offered Hotdogfingers a warm welcome to the team, inviting her to "c'mere and vibe".

During her time with the Fridays, Hotdogfingers formed an unlikely bond with Stevenson Heat, who had lost one of his closest companions in Mora to Hotdogfingers's feedback swap. Hotdogfingers was drawn to Heat's quiet nature, as he never forced small talk or asked many questions, preferring instead to nap in his hammock. The two were frequently seen eating some of Stevenson's famous beans together, often without speaking a single word.

With Hotdogfingers's help, the Fridays placed atop the Mild Low in Season 12, earning a postseason birth. With the Fridays on the verge of elimination after Heat pitched a Game 2 loss, Hotdogfingers stepped up to the mound against her former team, the Seattle Garages. She held off a comeback in the bottom of the 9th to keep the Fridays alive and earn them their second ever postseason win, following Heat's win in the Season 9 Wild Card Series. This was Hotdogfingers's first ever postseason win against the Garages.
