@NorthShoreNine This is what Skenes is talking about when he calls the offense selfish. Let my man go out and get some outs.

Foreshadowing.
The shadow of downtown KC casts on to high level clouds above the K. One of the coolest pictures I think I’ve gotten lucky enough to take at the K. Especially with where we will be moving to. So cool.

@AlexJStumpf Oneil stuck his left arm out right before that pitch came in and Esmerlyn sat on it. Looks like Wicks was tipping.

@colin_beazley Looks like it was Ashcraft who called for it. Seemed frustrated Davis didn’t challenge the 1-0 pitch.

I kept this story in my pocket for a long time....

In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day.

Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys.

My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on.
We didn't win.

19 consecutive losing seasons.

2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive.

After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over.

"My mom wants to talk to you."

We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons.

She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up.

Roberto Jr. translated.

"My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy."

She was staring right at me.

Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth:
"I promise you, Vera. That won't happen."

Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it."

I said, "I hope I can keep it too."

I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it.

The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20.

On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field.

And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life.

The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug.

Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them.

[Josh @joshorris6]

@CAStoinev hindsight’s 20/20 and who knows if the Dodgers would’ve thrown down, but at that point Barger represented the winning run, so they likely would’ve been pretty considerate of him getting into scoring position. hope all is well, Christian!

[Hannah Mears @mearshannah_]

In case you were wondering what Paul Skenes has been up to the day after finishing up his Cy Young worthy season!

He really does it all folks! 😂👏

@know_tru @DanZangrilli ok but what does that have to do with what Dan just said? Paul Skenes throwing 150 pitches wouldn’t have bought them a run today.
