- Personal news: I took the MLB.com buyout after 9 years. I was proud to be part of a team that does an extraordinary job covering the sport. I made friends for life and will miss them greatly. I had a helluva good time.
- Freddie Freeman should be the NL MVP. You heard it here first. Pass it on. mlb.com/news/freddie-f… via @MLB @Braves
- "The best decision I’ve ever made in my entire life was to be a part of this team."--Brian McCann on @astros
- Al Pedrique is coaching first base for the @Athletics this season. Eleven years ago, he was the guy who convinced the @astros to sign a 16-year-old Venezuelan named @JoseAltuve27. Pretty solid recommendation, huh? atmlb.com/2Hypgff via @MLB
- Astros have MLB’s best record (298-185) since AJ Hinch made an unconventional choice to be his leadoff hitter on May 24, 2016: George Springer. Twenty-nine HR and a World Series MVP later, Springer is the new prototype for what teams want in a leadoff hitter. @astros
- The Cardinals have drawn 3 million fans 19 of the last 20 seasons and been to the postseason 12 times. No better baseball city on this planet. No better organization.
- Sometimes it’s okay to ask a team to rally around a city instead of the other way around. That’s what @astros did in 2017. atmlb.com/2DzUg8c via @MLB
- Jose Altuve is hitting .579 in the postseason. He's 11 for 19. He batted .533 in ALDS.
- Ken Rosenthal, a friend for three decades, is a great reporter and a wonderful husband, father and man. He cares about facts and accuracy. No one I’ve ever known has more credibility or is more highly regarded by both his peers and those he covers. @Ken_Rosenthal
- Gerrit Cole v Trevor Bauer on Sunday in Cleveland. Get your popcorn.
- Roy Halladay 2001-2011: Second in @MLB in wins, ERA and WHIP, fourth in innings, fifth in strikeouts. His 64 complete games were 30 more than any other pitcher.
- If you’ve never played catch on a C-17, Adam Eaton and Aaron Barrett are way in front of you. @Nationals
