Me: “Aaron, why’d you do a curtain call after that?” Judge: “Boone told me to. I didn’t want to but he wanted me to. It was electric tonight. A playoff atmosphere.” What. A. Night. A go-ahead grand slam for Aaron Judge in the Bronx on @AppleTV to break his 16-game homer-less

Brett Phillips gifted Liam Hendriks his “baseball is fun” T-shirt. Said he’s going to do that with guys around the league who he feels have fun with the game. So Liam did the airplane & Brett did Liam’s signature save move for a photo op.

🥹 Cannot believe it’s the final home game of the regular season. A shout out to the MVP of the home regular season broadcasts. My wingman, friend, often times my therapist & one hell of a camerman. This job would be so difficult if not for someone to shoot interviews & video

All is well in the world because the tradition is back. Jose Siri, stealing my phone and taking a winning selfie. Siri + Morel — and this time, he recruited Junior Caminero. Doesn’t get any better than this.

I present to you a new tradition. Isaac Paredes and Jose Siri stealing my phone for a selfie victory after every win while I am obliviously doing my postgame interview. This is going to be a fun tradition.

When you leave your phone sitting unlocked by the dugout, these are the selfies you find in your camera roll upon the game ending. Shout out Jose Siri & Isaac Paredes for the postgame laugh.

Quote of the night, from O’s new owner, David Rubenstein, who was “Mr. Splash” in the Orioles splash zone tonight. “Is this why you paid a good chunk of change to buy this team, to be Mr. splash?” Rubenstein: “It cost me 1.6 billion dollars to be able to be Mr. Splash.”

A message from Kevin Cash for Janie Morales, who saved a man’s life last night at the Trop: “You were the most special person at the park last night. And there was a rumor you were trying to get Randy Land tickets. I think I know someone who can help you out…let’s set it up.”

If you’re wondering what type of manager Kevin Cash is, he said he babysat David Robertson’s kid last night so David and his wife could go to dinner. (For those who don’t know, Robertson is a relief pitcher for the Rays)

I love this. The players requested to wear the City Connect jerseys again today, even though it was not originally on the schedule. That’s what going 3-0 does 😂♥️

And here’s Taylor Walls signing a bat for the fan who flagged him down in the parking lot last night just to give him his first major league walk-off ball back. Love these kind of moments in baseball.

Today the Rays honored the late Dave Wills. Before the game, Dave’s wife, Liz, threw out the first pitch in honor of Dave. After she threw out the pitch, she did the @RandyArozarena signature pose. And guess who hit the walk off & then struck the pose? Bigger than baseball🫶🏼
