Wanted to share this moment of my dad yesterday. He moved us to Bloomington when I was 8. We sat through years of IU football misery as a family. He teaches sports history at Indiana University. And yesterday, after decades of waiting, he got to witness it.

🤝When you make a promise to Salvador Pérez — you keep it. Even if it is terrifying. This is the exact moment relief hit when my first ever interview in Spanish ended ✅ A month ago I promised Perez I’d do our next interview in Spanish, after I told him I was learning Spanish. It was as terrifying as it sounds but Perez could not have been more kind & helpful. Tune into the Apple TV pregame show at 7ET to watch!

😳 In case anyone was wondering — Adley Rutschman’s exit velo is still elite. My forearm is proof. Found out what it feels like to be the injury update instead of reporting it ☠️ 10-day IL, forearm discomfort. (PS I’m fine 😂 thanks to the Oriole’s medical staff for the wrapping of my arm and ice all game! 🧡)

Thanks for the shower Salvy. 😂 What a fun night in KC. Jac Caglianone’s reaction might be the best part. We were both almost laughing too hard to finish the interview. Salvador Perez strikes again.

Junior Caminero, the lone player left in the DR dugout after they fall to the U.S. He was an absolute stud & star during the WBC. So many great things ahead for Junior. ⭐️

The good news is that the Apple headphones are in fact water proof. The bad news is that my Gatorade dodging skills from Willson Contreras were non-existent tonight. Direct hit. 😂💦

Yes. We are collectively losing our minds. Including my mom who has never cared about football in her life but here is seen joyfully exclaiming that she “called the play” moments before the touchdown. And she did. (Will post before video in thread) My dad hyping her up in jubilation. It’s giving me life 🥹

Me: *calmly making pasta at home* Also me: *sees five missed calls from my dad and immediately assumes someone has died* I call him back. “TRISH!!! Kevin Burkhardt , PAT MURPHY, DEREK JETER, DAVID ORTIZ AND A-ROD JUST TALKED ABOUT YOU AND PAT’S POCKET PANCAKES ON FOX!!!” The man was so excited he filmed his television to make sure I didn’t miss it. No hype man quite like a dad.

In all my years doing this, I can only remember two players doing what the Cincinnati Reds Sal Stewart did before our interview on Friday. Salvador Perez, and now Sal. Before our interview, Sal walked up and introduced himself to every single person on our crew. He shook our cameraman’s hand. Our lighting director’s. Our audio engineer’s. Everyone behind the scenes. Might sound like a small thing but I promise it isn’t. Those are the people working incredibly hard to make the game, the broadcast and all of us on camera look good, and most people don’t think twice about who’s standing behind the camera. Sal did. For a 22-year-old with as much attention and hype surrounding him as Sal right now, that impressed the heck out of me and I didn’t want that story to slip through the cracks of a tough season for the Reds.

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.

50 applications. 5 callbacks. 1 yes. Tonight on the IU vs Northwestern game you’ll hear Connor Onion voice on FOX College Football But before this, he made $600 a month calling minor league baseball and lived in his boss’s basement… with termites, in Iowa. Fast forward to today: he’s calling college football for FOX alongside Robert Griffin III Robert Griffin III. Connor told us that when he stops to think about that journey, it still gives him chills. Loved this conversation on Sideline Stories 🎙️❤️ YouTube: Spotify:

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.

“This win was for Venezuela. I love them. Forgive me for not being there. My chest had a message on it asking God to not abandon us.” On a night with a heavy heart, speaking out all day, begging for help after the devastation in Venezuela, William Contreras hit a 2 run HR, wearing his Venezuelan WBC gear & a prayer for Venezuela on his chest. Baseball. You can’t script this. A meaningful, meaningful moment for him ❤️

This Astros bobble head for Yordan Alvarez is a mic drop 🔥🎤 Alvarez is standing on the tweet the Astros sent out 10 years ago when they acquired him from the Dodgers…One of the most lopsided trades we’ve ever seen, and also came with negative reaction at the time. Now, he’s in the middle of a MVP caliber season. And on the bobblehead, he is standing on the tweet, with the World Series trophy in hand and the Cuban flag draped around his shoulders. There are only 150 of them.

😅 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!

“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.

🇻🇪 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.

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.

🫂 Friday, after Vladimir Guerrero Jr. laced a RBI double and then came around to score, I noticed George Springer gave him an extra long hug in the dugout. Knowing Vlad hasn’t quite looked like himself this season, I asked Springer ‘why the extra embrace?’ His answer 🥹👏🏼 “Because Vlad cares. He so badly wants to do well for us. I hope he was able to breathe a little tonight.” No better time for Toronto to complete a sweep of the Mariners, with September around the corner, and a strong month desperately needed to stay in the Wild Card race.

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 🫠
