Sánchez’s scoreless streak ends at 50 and 2/3 IP, the fifth longest in MLB history.

Cleveland's Jose Ramirez is having some kind of series in the Bronx. Three doubles last night, a single, a steal and a homer tonight. What a player. Such a joy to watch.

@WTPDavid Fred Lynn Padres is a great one!

And a 1, and a 2…

Andrelton Simmons was one of the best defensive shortstops ever.

But at age 32, w/ a shoulder injury, his MLB career ended. He disappeared. No explanation. No rehab/return. Just gone.

“I don’t regret it. I needed a mental break.”

"It's a bit of a bummer that I didn't stay healthy enough that I could have just had this stretch of time in my career, where all I did was just try to hit HRs."

I asked Joey Votto if he ever dreams about baseball.

I wrote about the answer - & lots more

@_HaloLife @RealGlenMacnow Wow! I feel like I'm pretty good on Angels (covered them for the Riverside Press Enterprise Sept. 97 to Sept. 98), but I would never have gotten some of those guys.

[Tyler Kepner @TylerKepner]

@RealGlenMacnow Don't tell that to @TheReliefRoom! Hilgendorf is a God there.

@wenbickert Not much! Mostly Simpsons quotes.

@rcarver777 Ohhhh man I thought of Bob Heise but wasn’t totally sure of his position.

Why I wrote this story this story this morning for The Athletic about Gerrit Cole's prestart ritual, and why it'll be key to the Yankees' run and Cole continuing his Hall of Fame trajectory.
