"It was bedlam in our house."
Wrote during the game about Jake Mangum's gesture ... but more the family it impacted. Fun story to chase down: https://t.co/JFTwbqXDmo
Mitch Keller should drill Chandler Simpson for his takeout slide of Konnor Griffin. You gotta stick up for your teenage face of the franchise shortstop.
One of the coolest parts of my job is getting to meet new teams and players every weekend.
But let me tell you β¦ Iβve never had someone beat me to an interview quite like 19-year-old Konnor Griffin π
He was not only on time for the interview but he was early (and as many sideline reporters know, thatβs rare for players) and so prepared.
And beyond that, just so impressed with how he carries himself.
At 19, I was barely stringing sentences together on cameraβ¦ heβs already doing full interviews like a complete pro.
Pittsburgh, youβve got a good one.
