Not so fast…Democrats are still counting mail-in runs.

Josh Harrison on the Pirates is what peak baseball looks like.

Words cannot describe how cold this is. 🥶

Rep. Thomas Massie has been unseated by AIPAC’s Ed Gallrein in what is now the most expensive House primary in U.S. history. #KY04

After a 10-strikeout, no-walk performance tonight, Paul Skenes now has 40 strikeouts since his last walk on April 13th 🔥

That's the most strikeouts between walks by a Pirates pitcher since the mound was moved to its current distance in 1893 ⚾

An MLB player tosses a ball to a kid wearing his jersey.

The kid makes the catch… then hands it to his little sister and gives her a hug. How can you not love baseball

This and it’s not even close.

One of the clutchest HR in Pirates history.

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office.

Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known.

He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions.

Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?"

I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well."

The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year.

Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there.

But at game time, the tires were flat.

I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands.

Now it was time to reset.

"Shower well" means exactly this:
• Watch the frustration circle down the drain
• Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind
• Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest

Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight.

Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization.

I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball.

Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home.

You can carry all of that through your front door.

Or you can shower well.

I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them.

The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up.

Either we win. Or we learn.

The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day.

So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well.

Tomorrow is a new at-bat.

What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

[Platinum Key @PlatinumKey13]

I genuinely can't imagine being in the position to bring this back to Pittsburgh and concluding that risking a few million isn't worth it.

2 generational talents that haven't reached arbitration. Best rotation in the NL Central.

If not now, when?

Pat McAfee gets trolled with a "13-9" chant from Pitt fans after he tried to sneak in a singing of Country Roads. McAfee missed 2 FGs for second ranked West Virginia in the 2007 Backyard Brawl.

[Paul Zeise @PaulZeise]

Joey Porter Jr. gets a lot of penalties. But he makes up for it by getting hurt often.

[The Loyal Sons @TheLoyalSons]

Like this tweet if you’re a fan of a team in Pennsylvania who beat a ranked opponent and/or a P4 opponent so far this year.

[Christopher Carter @CarterCritiques]

It’s a good thing Penn State doesn’t schedule #Pitt. Panthers would blow them out with a true freshman quarterback this year.
