Welp…….The Brewers now have a pet turtle. A pocket turtle. 🐢 Backstory: I caused Pat Murphy chaos with pocket pancakes… So this time during our interview, Murph handed me a……live turtle and said, “Good luck getting it through TSA.” The turtle, will be staying with the team for now, as American Airlines apparently draws the line at reptiles.

Curt Cignetti is sitting courtside for the IU vs Purdue game. When I tell you this man has not turned a single person away who has walked up to him for a picture, autograph or hug…. Here’s 47 seconds during the timeout of evidence. A man of the people. Could not be more proud to call him our head coach.

One of the coolest parts of my job is getting to meet new teams and players every weekend. But let me tell you … I’ve never had someone beat me to an interview quite like 19-year-old Konnor Griffin 😄 He was not only on time for the interview but he was early (and as many sideline reporters know, that’s rare for players) and so prepared. And beyond that, just so impressed with how he carries himself. At 19, I was barely stringing sentences together on camera… he’s already doing full interviews like a complete pro. Pittsburgh, you’ve got a good one.

🇻🇪 When Salvador Perez talked with me tonight pregame before the win about a potential title for his country, you could hear the weight of its significance in his voice. “I’m playing for my family…it’s hard for them to get a Visa to come see. I’m playing for the 30 million people back home. Even the ones who don’t like me.” It’s far bigger than baseball. Congrats Team Venezuela. Unreal.

😅 First interview in Spanish ✅ Terrifying, humbling, and a whole new respect for every player who does interviews in a second language. HUGE thank you to Salvador Pérez for his patience and walking me through the whole thing. He was incredibly kind & encouraging. I made him a promise 6 weeks ago I’d do this — promise kept ✔️ It wasn’t perfect but continuing to learn will be on my off-season to do list!

“I do not view down syndrome as a disability, my wife doesn’t view it as a disability & neither will Penelope. She wakes up with a smile on her face everyday. And we should all live life that way.” 💙💛 🥹 If you do nothing else today, listen to this answer from Texas Rangers Jake Burger about his daughter, Penelope, who has Down syndrome. This weekend he is honoring her with his bat & shoes.

A lot of you watched the video of my dad at the Rose Bowl, so here’s a little follow-up moment. He’s been a pastor in Bloomington for over two decades. And this is how he opened his sermon this morning—before diving into the book of Matthew. Faith. Family. Football. 😂 🔴⚪️

“Looking at it, it’s a last-place team against a team that’s in contention. They’re just trying to ignite something over there… Not worth our time at this moment. We’re focused on bigger things right now…” Brandon Lowe with a big picture perspective about the two dugout clearing scuffles between the Rays and Yankees today.

📣 Hey Braves fans…you had a hand in this one. Michael Harris II was dealing with quad tightness last night but came in off the bench for one AB and that’s all he needed. He delivered a 2-run pinch-hit double to give the Braves the lead. The key? “The crowd. They were so into it. It really helped me.”

“I feel her with me everyday.” 🪽 This one hit home ❤️ Just weeks after losing his mom to brain cancer, Josh Lowe hit a three-run home run — his first as an Angel. He pointed to the sky… then to his heart. During my time with the Rays, I got to know the Lowe family well. I watched Josh and Nathaniel walk through their mom Wendy’s battle with brain cancer with grace and unconditional support for their mom. Wendy was one of the most encouraging people I met in this game. One of the last texts she sent me was a song: “One Day” by Cochren & Co. Now one of my favorite songs. Some moments are bigger than baseball. 🤍

“I’m going to get a little choked up here. Given everything over the past year, this turned into a special day. I felt at peace on the mound today.” - An emotional Pete Fairbanks after closing out the game and with a strikeout, for Ellis. Pete & his wife Lydia hosted the Turner Syndrome Foundation. He lost his baby girl Ellis to Turner Syndrome this offseason. For every strikeout he donates to the foundation. Butterfly is the symbol for Turner Syndrome. He has seen so many butterflies recently. Here is a link to their live auction for the foundation:

Don’t know why I’m tweeting such an embarrassing clip, unsure what my necklace choice is in first clip, as well as the un-ironed scarf choice in second clip, but yes it’s true. 22 years old fresh out of college covering the Packers (and Brewers) at WBAY-TV 2. God bless legendary sports director there Chris Roth, Pat Mayo and Dave Schroeder for teaching me everything because I knew nothing, but thought I knew everything 🫠
