@t0nyyates Yes please if you’ve one spare. Thanks

I have 20 tickets to the good place. No Nazis, no pseudonymous accounts.

@mike_petriello I'm excited too! But do you know the thinking behind taking OPS off the MLB app box score? Much more useful than AVG (and I don't get why anyone would care about LOB). Thanks

Today's free game on MLB.tv is Boston/Baltimore. Pretty excited to see how Masataka Yoshida ends up looking in the bigs: mlb.com/news/gunnar-he…

@MatthewHLeach @onsloowband Thanks for this recommendation - I love this album... Always enjoy your end of year list - like the variety, but I have a similar sweet spot!

Speaking of my musical sweet spot (I was, just a couple of tweets back): @onsloowband basically sound like they make music just for me. Huge hooks, big guitars, this is basically what it would sound like if Velocity Girl still existed. S/T rocks and is worth your time.

OK, finally time for #AlbumAudit2022. As with last year, going to start with a few EPs that I really liked. Feel free to mute this thread, won't hurt my feelings. Though at this point, my feed is more this stuff than work stuff.

@mrdavidwelsh We saw in a couple of months ago… I thought it was terrific! We were listening to the songs in the car today…

@JBISP95 @RoundhouseLDN I do

@mweeple @RoundhouseLDN hi - have you still got this?

Tonight's the night! Scottish cult rockers, @TheMaryChain will soo be on stage and we simply can not wait! 🤩 To all of you lucky enough to have tickets, have a good one!

Absolutely gutted to hear of Jerry Remy's passing. He made all those late nights watching the Red Sox a whole lot of fun. An amazing player, commentator and man. He'll be greatly missed. Thoughts with his family and friends.

@mattymatty2000 Also, twice hitting their worst hitter...

Thinking back on this game, there are many things to regret, but giving up three hits to Chas McCormick is right the hell up there

@jtomase Baseball Savant has Kike with the best outfielder jumps in MLB

Kike doesn't get anywhere near the same jumps as JBJ (who does?), but he makes up for it with fearless closing speed.

@mrdavidwelsh @TeenageFanclub Didn't like to mention the Gerry issue...

@mrdavidwelsh @TeenageFanclub The new normal, same as the old normal...! hope it was a good one

Lou Macari runs a homeless shelter in Stoke-on-Trent, but when Covid-19 came along the former footballer was forced to shut it down. With 46 residents with nowhere to go, he came up with this solution. Read more from his interview with @StephenNolan bbc.in/37kJVOR

@mattymatty2000 Just wanted to let you know that I'm really enjoying the newsletter... Really good stuff, and perfect for a slow offseason, thanks

Hey friends, a quick personal thing: I'm starting a Red Sox newsletter/website! I'm genuinely excited to write regularly on the Sox. The first posts (on the site and the Red Sox second base situation) are up now. Check it out and subscribe! (it's free) soxoutsider.substack.com

@derekscobie @mrdavidwelsh Not sure we get the balance quite right

@mrdavidwelsh @mweeple The bad ones make the good ones better. At least I keep telling myself that.

@derekscobie @mrdavidwelsh But outstanding tonight

@derekscobie @mrdavidwelsh I remember a horrid experience watching us get humped by Morocco in sivells

This is what it means 🥰 #EURO2020
