If you told the 12-year-old doing his 'best' RJ impression at a
@BuffaloSabres
Carnival that he'd receive a congratulatory text from Rick about 20 years later on getting the Bisons pxp job I would tell you that you are crazy. Looking forward to RJ night tonight!

Adrian Hernandez's screwball is nearly unhittable. Last night he might have thrown his best one yet to record the final out against LHV with the winning run on base and the tying run in scoring position. Here's a compilation...

Pretty neat that a handful of

players are in the stands and were along the glass as Jack Quinn took his hot lap for warmups. A pair of the guys have Quinn Amerks jerseys on as well.

Just as the news was being delivered in Toronto, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was letting teammates know about his promotion to The Show. Hugs and handshakes all around for the game’s top prospect.

Did not expect the be the

PA Announcer this summer. Hopefully we will once again be hearing Jerry Reo and Tom Burns at Sahlen Field next year, and Tim Langton back in Rogers Centre come next spring. Just kept the seat warm for them all for the last few weeks
Today is a lifelong dream come true. Thank you to everyone that has reached out so far, I am reading each and every tweet. Thank you also to the Rich family, Jonathan A. Dandes,

Today hurts. Does not matter that we saw it coming, the official cancellation of the MiLB season hurts. But the sun will come up tomorrow and bring us one day closer to 2021. I hope the
#Bisons
and Sahlen Field can bring us back to what feels normal next season.
Nathan Lukes just hit an inside the park grand slam (!) home run for the
#Bisons

Nothing about my 20th year in baseball has been normal. So, I guess the final game of the season being canceled makes sense. Thanks for all that tuned in and checked in along the way. Now it is time for the off-season!
#Bisons
Thank you fans for listening and checking in all
#Bisons
season long! This has been a great ride, hope you can all join us on April 4, 2019 to start it all over again.
Another year with many different twists and turns comes to a close. Thanks to all who tuned in or chimed in throughout the course of the 2022 season! Now, the off-season begins!
“If it’s a dream don’t wake me.” Thanks to all who followed along this season, on Twitter and over the air as well. Year Two was a blast! April 9, 2020 will be here soon enough.

Cannot tell you how much
@pham1717
has taught me over nearly the last 15 years. I am grateful that he has taken the time to help me and push me as a journalist. More importantly, I am thankful to call him a friend. Whatever is next for Paul, it will be great!
The Bisons have added a sticker on the back of the team helmets to honor the victims of Saturday’s shooting. There will also be a moment of silence prior to tonight’s first pitch.
A fan in the seats holding up a sign in honor of Tom Connolly, who passed away from cancer. Tom ran overnights on WBEN, among many other things. Very nice.

Interesting from Don Granato that Samuelsson was going to be paired with Ristolainen after what the coaches saw from Risto "mentoring" Bryson as a pair recently. I like it.

John Clayton, a first-class NFL insider and our beloved longtime ESPN colleague, died today.
He also starred in the greatest This Is SportsCenter commercial of all time.

Payton Henry stopped by the clubhouse earlier today to see his teammates, a welcomed sight after last night. He has been placed on the

Ernie Clement heads to the

This year marks the 35th anniversary of Triple-A baseball's return to Buffalo, and the

media guide was going to honor that. Here is the Front Office tab with a famous photo from 1988. Seems like as good of a time as any to share.
