I grew up going to Japanese school, and studied in HS/college to feel closer to my culture. I’ve hardly spoken since, though, so it’s very broken. But for Shohei’s special night, I wanted him and 🇯🇵 media to feel welcomed/seen. Def wasn’t perfect😬but I’ll keep shaking rust off!
Congratulations to Shohei Ohtani on another incredible accolade! Shohei is just the 16th recipient of the Commissioner’s Historic Achievement Award since its inception in 1998.

A fun surprise for us on 'The Association' to have Steph Curry hop on after the Warriors' win on @NBATV. Discussed the Dubs' 6-game win streak, 'Deacon Chris Haynes' 😂, Curry's "luminescence," facing Klay Thompson again, and the Valkyries WNBA title run youtu.be/R761tac6C1M?si=jJ62…

their answers were basically "watch film and ask steph and dray" lol but i love that he asked them this. the best thing an nba player can be to have a long career is curious. students of the game go far, health permitting
Yaxel Lendeborg asked T-Mac, Vince, and Melo for advice on his game: “Do you guys have any advice like, just for me in general just to try to keep going, things I got to work on, anything that you guys see that I don’t see?” 👏

I cannot believe that Eric Bauza has passed away, at age 46. We’d just talked about his life and his voices and his son. A shattering loss

Posts during WBC/LIDOM/Winter Leagues: “Need this energy all the time! The emotion! Epic! Posts during the MLB season/postseason: “look at how slow he ran the bases can you believe this guy?!”
Junior Caminero took 38.66 seconds to round the bases. Second-slowest time in the Statcast era on an undisputed homer/uninterrupted trot, per @SlangsOnSports. (Via: @MLB)

To the friends and teammates who drove this show from behind the camera 16 years—I’m so sorry. And thank you. So many hard-working and CREATIVE people, with Uncle Kevin and Rosie’s energy and chemistry, built something significant. Forever honored to be part of I.T.’s history.
After 16 seasons, the final episode of Intentional Talk will air November 4th, 2026. @SieraSantos, @Dempster46 & @KMillar15 reflect on the show's run and their last four years together.

Seeing Marina Viking Jake Bauers win NLCS MVP, and knowing Chapman Panther @JLevering4 will call a World Series. Congrats to JB & Levo! Two absolute studs 🤙💙

My sister grew up with Jake & his amazing wife, Lauren. The Bauers/Carr families are salt of the earth. … Levo is Chaptown’s broadcast North Star—he’s the standard. From calling RC Quakes games in ‘09 to calling a pennant in ‘26 Outstanding people & journeys. Deserve all the 💐

The Brewers are a wagon. If it's not one guy executing for Milwaukee, it's the next. Conversely, if it's not one guy struggling to execute for LA, it's the next.

In 2024, long-time @Dodgers announcer Charley Steiner had his broadcasting dream disrupted by a single word: cancer. Tom Rinaldi tells the story of Steiner’s fight to return to the job he loves.

Hey, Matt! Broadcasters hear this sentiment often. Again, IMO my job is to call the game. If there's a big play, especially in postseason, it will called as a big play. I certainly have more excitement for home highlights. I also won't act personally offended by the opponent.
Hey @StephenNelson how about less excitement when the OTHER team does well? Save raised voice & excitement for @Dodgers — you did same things against Braves. C’mon, friend.

think the original post was after Turang's home run. Local kid hits a Tarik Skubal fastball on the inner third for a left-on-left, opposite-field, game-tying HR in the LCS. That just shouldn't get the "somebody stole my lunch money" treatment on a call.
