Sandy Sr was one of my coaches @Padres and was an amazing baseball man. He was such an inspiration to many. He was beloved in his native country along with his family. Being a young Padres player w coach Sandy and sons Sandy jr and Robbie, looked up to their family w admiration.…

RIP Sandy Alomar Sr, the father of Sandy and Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar who played 14 years in the big leagues before his coaching career. Truly, one of the beloved legends of baseball.



Happy Coaches Day to my Favorites: @TonyLaRussa @Cardinals @CoachBrownlee6 @UEBaseball @wescarroll22 Hope you all have a blessed day. You all have had and continue to have an amazing impact on your players, much more than you’ll ever know!!


Cheo was a stud. Great utility player w immense knowledge of the game. He has passed that wisdom on to so many in the Cards org selflessly. What an amazing baseball man and a great human being. Blessed to have partnered with him for years. @Cardinals

#OTD 1988 - Jose Oquendo puts on the catchers gear in the 7th inning in a game against the Mets. With that, “The Secret Weapon” became the first NL player in 70 years to play all 9 positions in a single season. #STLCards

Closest I got to no no. I actually quit warming up that day bc it was not good. But got between the lines and got into a rhythm. Good reminder that the warm up is just a warmup and doesn’t determine outcome. @TheMayorsOffice always took great AB’s and was a tough out.

9/13/98 - In their inaugural season @AndyBenes40 (8.1inn., 1H, 5BB, 6K, 138np) came 2 outs away from Arizona's first no-hitter, but on a 3-2 count to rookie @TheMayorsOffice, missed his spot and Casey lined Cincinnati's only hit to RF. The #DBacks came out on top, 5-0.



An unforgettable day in the life of our country. Changed the course of history. So very sad for the loss of life, but so proud and grateful for the many that answered the bell that day as Americans. #NeverForget

Wasn’t particularly a fan of those “futuristic” unis, but was a fan of the result @Dbacks

9/11/99 - On "Turn Ahead the Clock Night" in which the #DBacks' uniforms & in-house sounds were both "futuristic" while the PA announcer sounded like a robot, AZ shut out Philly 4-0 behind @AndyBenes40's dominant start: 8inn., 5H, 0ER, 1BB, 3K. Williams/Bell: 1HR each.



Absolutely heart breaking! I just don’t understand.

PresidentTrump has announced Charlie Kirk has passed away. This is hard to fathom and accept 🙏🙏🙏



They have incredible talent and depth. They need to decide what core they’ll build around and who they’ll use to go get some bats. Hard to attract FA hitting in that market so must happen via trade.

Now the flip side. There isn't an organization better positioned than #Pirates w young, high-end starting pitching: SP1: Skenes SP2: Keller SP3: Chandler SP4: Oviedo SP5: Burrows/Ashcraft SP Depth: Mlodzinski, Barco, Harrington, FA Lefty, Jared Jones Closer: Santana Setup:…
