When I worked for @KnightsBaseball in 2019, José Contreras’ son Joseph sat in the press box catching typos in my work, so I took a selfie in case he came for my job one day.

Tonight he got Aaron Judge to ground into a double play.

Looks like my job is safe. The WBC is elite. 🇧🇷

Cool moment from a few weeks ago when Barry Larkin was in town.

He worked with Edwin Arroyo one-on-one. Now Larkin will be on the call as Arroyo makes his MLB debut.

An incredible story for Arroyo, who has been a breakout star for the @LouisvilleBats this year.

Rece Hinds ends his @LouisvilleBats tenure with 45 home runs, which ranks 6th in franchise history.

Last year, he posted the 2nd 20/20 season in Louisville franchise history and was named Team MVP.

Wishing him the best as he joins the Marlins!

The @LouisvilleBats move into a 1st place tie in the International League with a 4-2 win over Indianapolis.

Edwin Arroyo and Rece Hinds homered while Jose Franco threw the final 3 innings to earn his first professional save!

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

Big win for the @LouisvilleBats on education day!

Noelvi Marte comes through with the walk-off sacrifice fly to get the Bats even in the series with Indianapolis! 👏

Just over two full minutes of nothing night at Louisville Slugger Field.

Nothing but the crack of the bat and soft organ tunes in the background.

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

Since the @LouisvilleBats Nothing Night is blowing up right now...

We've done this for a few years, and last season we produced a behind-the-scenes story with organist Al Greener, who will be back for tonight's game to provide the sounds of Nothing Night.

Edwin Arroyo is having himself a week against the Sounds.

Through the first 5 games of this series, he's batting .591 (13-22) with 3 home runs, 9 RBI, 2 doubles, a .609 OBP, and a 1.182 slugging percentage.

We'll see if he's got another monster game in store on Mother's Day.

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

A beautiful day for a doubleheader at Louisville Slugger Field as the @LouisvilleBats host the Nashville Sounds for the first twin bill of the 2026 season.

JJ Bleday is on a heater right now. This 2-run single gives him 3 RBI through 3 innings tonight.

Including tonight, he has 7 RBI and 8 hits in his last 5 games.

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

A fun stat on Rece Hinds as he joins the @Reds today:

He's already recorded the two hardest-hit balls by a Bats player this season on singles of 115 mph and 114.1 mph. 💪

Those both exceed Louisville’s top exit velocity from 2025 (Sal Stewart, 113.7 mph). 💥

Non-baseball post…

Fun moment in Louisville tonight as the start of the @UFLKings game was delayed tonight for the @NASAArtemis splashdown.

P.J. Higgins will get the start for the Reds today 1,282 days after his most recent Major League appearance on 10/5/22.

Of note, he won 81% (41-49) of his challenges from behind the plate for the 2025 @LouisvilleBats. That was above and beyond the best success rate on the team.

[Cincinnati Reds @Reds]

Let's go win a series.

Rece Hinds is on another planet right now. 🔥

After a walk-off home run about 15 hours ago, he delivers a first-inning grand slam to put the @LouisvilleBats up 4-0 against the I-Cubs in the first inning today.

He is the first Bats player to reach multiple home runs in 2026.

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

Autograph day is always a fun one at the ballpark. Here we have:

1. Edwin Arroyo meeting fans for the first time with Hector Rodriguez.
2. Blake Dunn admiring Pat Kelly’s 1980 rookie card.
3. Andrew Chafin ⚾️✍️
4. CES signing his game worn batting helmet.

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

Rece Hinds is the hero today with a walk-off single in the 10th as the @LouisvilleBats improve to 2-0 with a 6-5 win over Omaha, the 3,000th win for the current Louisville franchise since returning to the Derby City in 1982.

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

Two runs is enough for the @LouisvilleBats to win on Opening Night! Chase Petty was brilliant and the bullpen did just enough to hold on with Zach Maxwell earning the save!

That’s 3 straight Opening Night wins for Louisville.

[Aaron Cheris @AaronHowie]

The @LouisvilleBats take the field for Opening Night introductions (featuring new reliever Andrew Chafin).
