Jesse Derry has been taken to hospital as a precaution following his first-half substitution during today’s #PL game against Nottingham Forest.
Jesse is conscious, talking and undergoing precautionary checks. We wish him a speedy recovery and thank the medical staff for their swift response.
I want you to understand the full picture. I want you to know about the whole person, and what’s important to me. About the things reporters never ask me about. Not just the baseball part.
This is my story. @PlayersTribune

Kinda just proved everyone else point here. People globally love different things & thats why they exist. Baseball countries love the WBC & thats why its been so popular. Different cultures have different passions. I bet India vs Pakistan is a massive deal to many & thats great!
1,000,000,000 people watched India and Pakistan play cricket. ONE BILLION. And none of you think cricket matters! I don’t see everyone tweeting about how awesome cricket is! You’re not talking about meaningful cricket!
Yes the adult in the room is running up the score on you losers talking about “the players like it!” and “it’s just like Game 7 of the World Series!” I seriously don’t know if the Rocket can ever cover baseball again after that comment
The entitlement of this guy is unreal. those two countries have the second and third best professional baseball leagues in the world. It’s where your mets’ Senga came from. Quit gate keeping the sport and let others enjoy it how they want to
You dont get to act like the WBC matters because 2 countries that don’t have Major League Baseball all watched their only opportunity to watch some semblance of high level baseball by compiling all of the ONLY good players nationwide. MLB fans watch 150,000,000 gms like that a yr
Rooting for injuries because he’s upset. Speaking for how fans and players of different backgrounds should approach the WBC bc their way of thinking doesn’t align with his interest in the sport. Calling people dumb for liking something he doesn’t.
Sings of a really good guy!
I literally hope every single one of these WBC losers has a player on their MLB team get injured tmrw. I hope there’s 29 injured stars and you all have to defend your stupid worthless fake takes about a tournament that’s fun for 5 seconds before it’s completely forgotten. Asinine

@BoiseDon@infieldflygrl Some baseball fans will never accept change and claim the game is ruined. The last decade of baseball has been the most mutated and dull version of itself. MLB is trying to remedy that and bring excitement back into the game, but they won’t admit it despite any proof or reason
ppl who insisted that players can easily adjust to beat the shift are the same ppl shidding themselves over players having to adjust to the pitch clock.
taking 99mph sinker oppo? childs play
both feet in the box when the giant timer strikes :08? not possible & also a hate crime
@infieldflygrl For a century games were played fast with lots of action. I encourage you to watch games from the 20th century & notice the pace. In the 2000s dead time in between pitches and plays increased notably. Really it’s reverting back to how baseball used to be but with more athleticism
@infieldflygrl Like I said it could use alterations. Maybe 15 seconds isn’t the right number. Maybe it is. But there is a large group of people who find the lack of movement and rarity of attention grabbing plays in baseball boring if you’re not already a fan. Growing the game is good.
From @TheAthletic: He's one of the most interesting men in baseball. So we asked Joey Votto to annotate his own oral history. And he agreed. https://t.co/Cuq5MNqwp1
