What a paragraph. 👏

[Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen]

The Milwaukee Brewers had people sharing a lot of sad stories over the past few days. A lot of happy ones, too. In a world of screens and silos, sports are one of our last bastions for connection.

On a World Series of life and death, grief and joy

Baseball is the best. Wow. What a ballgame.

WALK-OFF
RAYS SURVIVE!

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

With the Rays and Brewers facing off in the World Series, this means at least one member of the 2025 @LouisvilleBats will have played for a World Series winner in 2026.

Ryan Vilade spent the entire season with the Rays, while Lyon Richardson pitched in one game for the Brewers.

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

Congrats to all my friends in Rocket City.

Heck of a finish and that wide shot with the fireworks is immaculate.

Most of that front office has been there since the beginning in 2020, which is something you don’t see a ton of in MiLB today.

[Minor League Baseball @MiLB]

WON FOR JIMOTHY 🦝

The Rocket City Trash Pandas are Southern League champions!

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

Minor League Baseball has a funny way of coming full circle.

In 2016, Orlando Arcia was the #1 prospect on the Colorado Springs Sky Sox during my first job in baseball. I even wrote about him for our program.

Ten years later, he finished this season with me in Louisville.

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

I first met Jordyn with Rocket City in 2022. Great athlete who was a big part of the first Trash Pandas playoff team.

He was actually ranked higher than Ja'Marr Chase as a high school WR in the class of 2018.

After 38 MLB and 678 MiLB games, he's made it back to the gridiron.

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

Fun Bats/UofL opponent crossover today:

On May 6, Jordyn Adams was starting for Nasvhille against our @LouisvilleBats. ⚾️

Four months and a baseball retirement later, he’s back in town as a 26-year-old freshman WR for @SMUFB against @LouisvilleFB. 🏈

Has to be a first, right?

[Zack Raab @ZackRaab]

I loved this Playing for Something Greater piece from Aaron Cheris (@AaronHowie) for @israel_baseball.

Great perspective from @JonnyMoscot, @GlasserMitch, and @evanjkravetz.

Worth a quick read if you haven't done so already! 🇮🇱⚾️

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

Always exciting to take a trip up to Cincinnati to see the @Reds, especially with plenty of former Bats on the team.

First time ever in the Scouts Club. Highly recommend it!

Think I saw the Elly home run ball flying overhead on my drive back to Louisville! 💨

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

The @LouisvilleBats end the home schedule with a 6-4 win over Columbus, winning five of six games in a series for the first time all season.

Ben Wereski was sharp in his third win, and Hunter Parks wrapped it up for save number 10!

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

Connor Phillips secures the win with his third save to wrap up a series victory for the @LouisvilleBats, 7-4 over Columbus in front of an energetic crowd of 8,887 in the final Saturday night home game of the 2026 season!

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

As Rosh Hashanah begins, I’m excited to share a story I’ve been working on for @israel_baseball.

Jon Moscot, Evan Kravetz and Mitch Glasser took three different paths to Team Israel.

For each, playing for Israel was a deeply personal connection. 🇮🇱

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

For some context, the @LouisvilleBats had 5 hits in just 4 innings against Pannone in last Tuesday's series opener in Nashville...

[MLB Pipeline @MLBPipeline]

Thomas Pannone throws a perfect game!

The @Brewers southpaw strikes out eight for the Triple-A @nashvillesounds to log the Minors' first 9-inning single-pitcher perfecto since 2017.

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

Low quality selfie. High quality people. 👏

Honored to accept the Lead-Off Award as part of @ballparknation's annual Dottie Awards. The @MiLB community is truly a speical one.

Can't wait to see the full episode on the Bats!

[Jim Christopher - Ballpark Nation / Author @ballparknation]

With Orlando Arcia making his first Bats start tonight and Garrett Hampson back from the IL, the Bats' infield of Arcia, Hampson, and Michael Chavis have combined for over 20 years of MLB service time.

Kent Emanuel shut down one of the IL's best offenses in his Bats debut in his first Triple-A start in two years.

Less than two weeks after being signed by the Reds from the High Point Rockers in the Atlantic League, he makes his Reds debut. An incredible story.

[Louisville Bats @LouisvilleBats]

Now that's how you make a great first impression 👀

Kent Emanuel struck out eight and didn't walk a single batter in his team debut!

Clip of the Game x @GreatClips

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

The Bats also have 10 sets of back-to-back home runs, which includes a trio of back-to-back-to-back home runs on May 27 vs. St. Paul.

[Cincinnati Reds @Reds]

10th set of back-to-back home runs this season, the most in MLB‼️

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

I went into Terry Francona's office and asked him about compression socks.

Read the whole article below to find out more about two incredible baseball men.

[Louisville Bats @LouisvilleBats]

More than 30 years after first managing against each other, Pat Kelly and Terry Francona are still in the dugout, now on the same side.

We caught up with both in our latest feature for a story of two baseball lifers and a bond built over decades.

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

In an incredibly late day for everyone involved, the @LouisvilleBats pull out a 4-3 walk off win on Michael Chavis’ bases loaded walk to split a doubleheader with Toledo!

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

At the time of his promotion, Michael Toglia ranked among the International League leaders in:

-HR (4th, 22) 💪
-Total Bases (4th, 188) 🦇
-Extra-base hits (2nd, 49)
-Doubles (T-2nd, 26)
-SLG (6th, .547)
-RBI (T-9th, 65)

Looking forward to seeing first @Reds start!
