One of the great general managers in MLB history was Pat Gillick, who moved from TOR to BAL to SEA to PHI, and won everywhere he went. He didn't believe in mass firings; rather, he would take a few key assistants into each job, and believed it was his responsibility, as leader, to help make the existing staff improve.

Better late than never...we had an unreal spring break at @WaltDisneyWorld with the boys, our niece Alora, nanny Brenda K and Hillary our guide. From the iconic castle to feeling like we were in Star Wars, we all had a trip we will never forget. 18k steps a day keeps the tombstones at the haunted mansion away! Thank you Most Magical Place on Earth!

@GMurphPhils Especially when working with 53 year old stat guys.

I’m a big fan of 54 year old broadcasters. But that’s likely to change around September 22nd.

Serious question: Is your enjoyment of an announce team ever based on age? Do you ever prefer a broadcast more because the announcers seem newer, fresher, etc? I ask because this is something I feel execs often get wrong or misprioritize.

Yet another @MattyCord elimination game. This is where Sixers do their best work.

Nick Castellanos anytime home run at +620, don't mind if I do.

Great day to start batting Bryce Harper leadoff and Trea Turner third every single game.

Masters Sunday for some, BUT…Happy Yack loudly next to your stranger seat mate before 8 am Flight Day to those who celebrate. Spoiler alert: many are celebrating this morning.

.@Dbacks vs. @Phillies. Drummin' up memories of that 7-game series in the NLCS a few years ago.
Excited to be with EK for this one. 1:00 PM ET on FS1.

Annual post:
Bill Raftery is 82 years old…
He won only 154 games in his college coaching career…
His last season was while Michael Jordan was in high school…
He really isn’t a good commentator…
Yet, he’s somehow, once again, announcing an NCAA championship game.
Unreal!

@MikeMonaco_ Old man take? I have socks older than you buddy, but agreed

Old Man Take: I don’t understand the appeal of hats with upside-down text. I’m not doing a handstand.

ITALY IS ELIMINATED FROM WORLD CUP CONTENTION 💔
The Italians will miss their THIRD straight World Cup and have not qualified since 2014 😱

@AmericanAir Daniel the FC FA from LAX to ATL just completely dominated. 5 star rating. Best service ever. THANK YOU!

You have to be incredibly obtuse to think he was serious, regardless of his delivery. Kevin has made an ass of himself in the past, but what are we doing here?
Dan Wolken@DanWolken
If your delivery is as bad as his, you probably should be more guarded.

I hate the news and the inconsistencies
Posts about long ass lines at security at PHL Airport
And then comments under posts saying it took 20-25 minutes w/o precheck
So which is it...
Cancun next Sunday... 6am flight... I do not want to get to the airport at 230am

You don’t have to like or agree with BP, but I missed the time @awfulannouncing tweeted that Jay Wright was still on Nova’s payroll working for CBS/Turner
Awful Announcing@awfulannouncing
Bruce Pearl still on Auburn payroll while employed at CBS, TNT, per public record dlvr.it/TRW1T2

23.4% of @VCU_Hoops points come from the foul line (37th most reliant). Only 16% of @SJUHawks_MBB's points allowed on D come from the line. Hawks have been great all year at not fouling.
English
This will be obvious to any @kenpomeroy heads out there but the foul line today is more important than any other game this season. @VCU_Hoops is 8th in D1 in FT rate (FT attempts as a percentage of FG attempts). @SJUHawks_MBB is 15th in defensive free throw rate.

The Minnesota Vikings just one next year's NFC North and at least one playoff game. #HailMurray

And he got clubbed in the head with 20 seconds left. But as expected, he stayed out there.
Nothing, NOTHING, keeps Roger Ayres off the floor.
Roger Ayers Ref Tracker@AyersRefTracker
Roger’s working the ACC Tournament quarterfinal game this afternoon between Louisville and Miami. Day 3 in a row at the ACC Tournament and game 110 of the season (now 1 game short of last year’s career-high total of 111 games).
