@sippinmitten Congratulations!

The original voice of the ⁦@greatlakesloons⁩ at #DowDiamond could use our support. Please see the article for information about a benefit dinner and a GoFundMe, and consider helping out if you can. https://t.co/6DCmYYisOt

I’m proud to share that my son has launched his first business, Morphite Boards, to market a collapsible longboard he invented. You can check out his story below, or see more at https://t.co/BdtmCnB3ip

@MWLtraveler @greatlakesloons Do you play board games? If so, the birder in you might want to check out Wingspan, if you haven’t already. The artwork is impressive, and you can learn a lot, too. The Loon is included in the birds you can “collect”. Something fun for the offseason.

Cool #BaseballSkies at #DowDiamond tonight! #DiveIn

[Doug Pelletier @dpelletiermi]

#Baseball skies with the ⁦@greatlakesloons⁩ visiting the ⁦@TinCaps⁩ tonight. Good times had by all!

#BaseballSky with baseball pie, at #DowDiamond. 😋

@ESPN1009 , the commercials are much louder than the @greatlakesloons broadcast tonight. First time I’ve ever noticed that, at least this much. Can any adjustments be made?

[Doug Pelletier @dpelletiermi]

Wasn’t that the 2nd close call foul ball on @brad_tunney in recent weeks? Might have to put in for hazard pay, or maybe a hard hat.

[Doug Pelletier @dpelletiermi]

Beware the outfield drinking fountain at #DowDiamond tonight. It’s set on Extra Refreshing. #DiveIn #Surprise!

[Doug Pelletier @dpelletiermi]

#LoonsDJ was that a snippet from Mars by Holst you were just playing for the @greatlakesloons game? We’ve been having fun trying to figure out the obscure connections you’ve been making.

[Doug Pelletier @dpelletiermi]

@MWLtraveler I’ll be there too to see the Loons play a couple with the Tincaps in early August. We’ll be back at the end of August, too, for the Taste of the Arts festival we stumbled upon on a previous baseball trip. As you said, always a good time there.

[Doug Pelletier @dpelletiermi]

#BaseballSkies at #DowDiamond. Hoping the @greatlakesloons can hold on to a win to put the icing on this beautiful night. #DiveIn

This looks totally awesome! What a great way to get your programmers started before you have a chassis available! Looking forward to putting this to use.

Hey @greatlakesloons, any thoughts about a viewing party at #DowDiamond for the first game of the playoff series? Stream the game (assuming it’s not at Lake County) onto the scoreboard, @brad_tunney ‘s call on the PA, sell some concessions, maybe some tix to the home game(s)?

[Doug Pelletier @dpelletiermi]

@brad_tunney @ESPN1009 @nchaunceywolf Thanks for the shoutout, and @nchaunceywolf thanks for the answer. I’ll be checking Cory Wong’s stuff out, starting with Golden.

[Doug Pelletier @dpelletiermi]

@ESPN1009, what was that cool brass lick you played when returning to @brad_tunney at the bottom of the 4th? That grooved!

[Doug Pelletier @dpelletiermi]

I’m wondering if @brad_tunney is going to have a chance to address the between-inning puppy peanut butter predicament they showed on https://t.co/bJU7IMtj8l. It looked like things did not go as expected.

[Doug Pelletier @dpelletiermi]

I can very much relate to this as my son and baseball buddy, who took us on a youth sports journey including baseball, X-country, and finally pole vaulting is also off to college this fall, #BoilerUp. It’s bittersweet to see one end, but the next journey is just beginning.

[Mike Nutter @minorleaguenutt]

An open letter to my son @NutterCarson…THANK YOU for allowing me to go on the youth sports journey w/ you! Thank you for always playing hard. Thanks for the hundreds of hours we hit fly balls & played catch! Mom, @KATELYNNNUTTER, & I always loved watching you play from T-ball…
