@brianmctaggart Pitching is just horrendous

Disaster for the Astros. The inning should have ended, but Javier's night ends instead.

Good Friday reminds us of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. May this day further deepen the values of harmony, compassion and forgiveness. May brotherhood and hope guide us all.

I've had a lifetime of ups, downs, and sideways. Baseball. Failure. Faith. Rock bottom. Redemption. And the one lesson that ties all of it together? You don't become better by avoiding hard. You become better by embracing it... I'm a broken, flawed man and I've made mistakes I'm not proud of. I've let people down...not by choice, but I let them down. But how I reacted to those moments? That's where the growth lived. Here's what a lifetime of hard actually taught me. Lesson #1: Life is going to be hard. That's not a warning, that's a promise. People are going to be messy. You're going to make mistakes. The speed of life doesn't slow down for any of us. What you control: • Whether you embrace hard or run from it • Whether you get better or just get bitter • What your first thought is when your feet hit the floor in the morning There's so much more value in pushing through hard times and coming out the other side. Lesson #2: You can't outrun what you're supposed to grow through. I numbed failure instead of walking through it. I told myself it was working. It wasn't. Eventually, the hard you've been running from catches up. And when it does you either let it break you or let it build you. I've walked through all the challenges, all the ups, all the downs, all the sideways. And I think every single one of them put me in a position I was handpicked for. Hard doesn't disqualify you. It prepares you for what's next. Lesson #3: Be Steadfast. Be Persistent. Be Resilient. Those aren't traits you're born with. They're what's left after hard things do their work on you. They didn't come from the easy stretches They came from character that wasn't there before Empathy I couldn't have had without the hard Today is the only one we're promised. Don't waste it running from hard. Embrace it.

@80s_channel Get on my bike and ride to the fort in the woods.

U-S-A! U-S-A!! Moon bound baby!!! #nasa #artemis

@TexLex @CravenMike @RichOToole I agree.

@CravenMike @RichOToole Lupe Tortillas is better IMHO

Say what you want about El Tiempo but the fajitas are undeniable.

@PeterMcCormack @CleansedTweets Absolutely

@CleansedTweets Mixed feelings. Grateful to have had it. Sad for those who came too late for it.

How do people who lived through the 80s and 90s stomach today. I can’t fathom it. Surely you must be depressed?

@coachzblair10 Yes! Relegation!

Umpires should have a Minor League and a Major League. All their games are tracked, reviewed, and graded. If you're a stud, you get called up. If you suck, you get sent down. Thoughts? 🤷🏼‍♂️

@mrddmia @Mark60480727 Wouldn’t matter if you did. The people with the power to stop it, won’t. @GOP

Serious question: At what point do we just tell activist judges to fuck off?

idk why Japanese twitter is trending right now but here’s the funniest baseball player of all time. Japan’s Munenori Kawasaki who played for the Toronto Blue Jays and was determined to learn English. The best 5 minutes you’ll watch all day. 🤣🇯🇵

@MousePad05 @RedSox lol with your temu Altuve bro 😂😂😂😂

FINAL: Astros 8, #RedSox 1

@BattleByrd I’m a fan of umpire relegation. Send the worst performing down to the minors and the highest performing in the minors to the bigs.

Not a great start for female umpires in the Major Leagues...

@SenateGOP Senate Republicans want illegal aliens to vote in our elections. Even for Republicans, it’s truly shocking.

Democrats are risking the security of our homeland to protect illegal aliens who have committed crimes against Americans. Even for Democrats, it’s truly shocking.

@RepBaumgartner What a selfish asshole this guy is. He’s worried about missing a youth basketball while @DHSgov personnel are missing their house payments. Another Self-servant not public servant.

I’m fully aware that this job requires tons of travel and crazy hours, but it does indeed bug me that I’m here in DC at 11:30pm voting (for the 4th time!) to fully fund the Homeland budget and missing my kids hoops game tomorrow morning back in Washington because the Senate pulled their BS stunt last night. 🇺🇸

@SenateGOP I can’t with you A-holes. Blaming everyone but yourselves

During the past 41 days, Senate Democrats showed America who they’re fighting for. 480+ TSA agents quit, the U.S. suffered over $2.5 billion in losses, and there were four-hour-long lines at our busiest airports. All to protect criminal illegal aliens from deportation.

@astros Other things the @astros missed tonight: - offense - strikes down the middle - curveballs - a strong bullpen - accurate ABS challenges

We missed this. #ChaseTheFight

Tough couple days in Houston Sports: Astros Game 1 - L Coogs Sweet 16 - L Astros Game 2 - L Coogs Baseball - L Rockets - W 1-4

@astros First pitch…. ….yard.

Welcome to The Show, Ryan! #ChaseTheFight

Is Mark DeRosa managing the @astros?

Immense baseball IQ play here from three of the best HWA(How to win awareness) guys in baseball) Very subtle play. 1) With 2 outs & a runner on 1B Hoerner keeps the ball in the infield & makes 180 spin throw to 3B. 2) Bregman realizes that there is no play at 3B & comes out to get the ball & redirects it to 2B. 3) Swanson fake cuts the throw to 3B & slows the runner(Wiemer) down enough to have a play at 2B. 4) After the fake cut Swanson retreats to 2B in time to get Bregman’s redirected throw for the 3rd out of the inning. BE SURE TO EXPAND & SLOW THIS VID TO EXPERIENCE THE FULL AFFECT OF THIS PLAY
