Dear hitters: If you hit a 3-0 homer off me, I will not consider it a crime.
Dear people who are still mad about a hitter hitting: kindly get out of the game.
Can’t believe we’re still talking about 3-0 swings. If you don’t like it, managers or pitchers, just be better.
Hey
@tatis_jr
listen up:
1) Keep swinging 3-0 if you want to, no matter what the game situation is
2) Keep hitting homers, no matter what the situation is
3) Keep bringing energy and flash to baseball and making it fun
4) The only thing you did wrong was apologize. Stop that.
To the fans in my mentions right now:
@Reds
fans: I love you all. Thanks for an amazing season! Wish you could’ve been at the ballpark!
Braves fans: Seems like y’all hate me and I wouldn’t be embraced here! What a shame... 😕
Astros fans: LOL, why are y’all here? Stay mad.
For everyone wondering why I didn’t wear the cleats tonight,
@MLB
threatened to eject me and suspend me and levy unprecedented fines against me if I did. I couldn’t put my teammates at risk like that. Earlier this year, MLB said players could put whatever they wanted on their
No idea who made this new playoff format proposal, but Rob is responsible for releasing it, so I’ll direct this to you, Rob Manfred. Your proposal is absurd for too many reasons to type on twitter and proves you have absolutely no clue about baseball. You’re a joke.
If
@ronaldacunajr24
hits an oppo homer off you that hits the second deck, he can bat flip all he wants and you just have to wear it. I mean, he could Contreras that thing to the moon for all I care. Good lord. That was a tank. If you don’t like it, get him out and strut on him 😂
cheating your way to a World Series = no ejection/suspension/fine...y’all really know how to pick your battles...🙄 learned my lesson though. Fun is bad, cheating is good. Won’t make the same mistake twice, can promise you that 👊🏻👊🏻
Regardless of the results tonight, please don’t harm others, riot, loot, smash, burn or otherwise destroy businesses, attack people online, etc. We can all act like adults, even even we don’t get our way.
I’ve been publicly critical of Rob Manfred before, but I have to give him props. He said he’d meet with any players who had further questions and he was a man of his word this morning. We had a very productive meeting about a wide range of topics.
@MLB
So, Rob, explain to us how you can be 100% sure that there’s going to be baseball but not confident there will be baseball at the same time? hmmm. What changed between those statements 🤔🤔 Players told you to set the season, but it’s too early to set the season right now,
So
@espn
has just leaked my number to truly the entire world lol in honor of this...shall we call it...massive screw up...I’m doing a giveaway! I’ll be giving away a pair of signed cleats and an autographed baseball over the next 48 hours. Rules are in my voicemail! Good luck!
Though it came in a loss, important to give
@GerritCole45
props for that performance tonight. Anyone who is willing to come out on short rest to put his team on his back and try and win a must win playoff game has my respect. Great performance tonight.
If that’s the last pitch we see you throw in a big league game

thank you for all the years and memories. From the dominance with the

...cheers to you. One of the best to ever do it.
And the moment you've all been waiting for.....here's a look at my cleats for tonight's start. FREE JOE KELLY! If you want to be eligible for a chance to win these, see next tweet for details.
This year’s
@Padres
team is scary. Imagine what that offense, defense, and attitude could look like next year with a stable of elite starting pitchers 😉
It’s absolute death for this industry to keep acting as it has been. Both sides. We’re driving the bus straight off a cliff. How is this good for anyone involved? Covid 19 already presented a lose lose lose situation and we’ve somehow found a way to make it worse. Incredible. 🤦🏻♂️
We came up together. We won together. We laughed and celebrated together. Today, we all lose and mourn together. Your memory, your love for life, everything that made you, you, will live forever in the hearts and minds of those who knew you. Rest In Peace brother. We love you.
cleats, so long as it wasn’t political or offensive. Apparently, Rob is not a fan of players following his rules, as “Free Joe Kelly” is not political and is very clearly said in jest. Just leaves me over here wondering how following the rules = ejection/suspension/fine and
So you’re telling me the NL Central is the worst division in baseball??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 I could be doing the maths wrong but I count 4 playoff teams from the NL Central. Hmmmm
Since my phone is blowing up, if there are any more

will organize with you. All pitchers and hitters will be micd up. Mandatory. Open to any other rule suggestions. Let me know!
Watching the

offense roll this post season just makes me even more proud of what my fellow

pitchers were able to accomplish in our short playoff appearance. Just the start of something great in cincy
This was taken hours after I supposedly brutally assaulted this woman, when she claims she was terrified and desperate to get out of my house and in tremendous pain.
Families can’t stay with players at our hotel. It’s supposed to be a “bubble”, yet random members of the community can stay there, ride the same elevators, share the same lobby, etc. Some bubble this is. I guess player families should just call the hotel and book a room?
Home team: family members can attend the games.
Visiting team: family members cannot attend the games.
@mlb
: Yup! Checks out!
Guess we didn’t win enough games this year to earn the right for our family to watch us play. Sorry Mom and Dad!
My cousin Michael was a Harvard law grad. About 10 years ago, he was falsely accused of rape. He was disbarred due to the allegations. He was never arrested. He was never charged with a crime. He was never convicted of a crime. For the past ten years, he has fought his way…
You’re extremely dishonest Paul. For everyone else out there who wants the real story instead of this desperate clickbait BS, I’m not mad at all about Klubes pitching opening day. I’m happy for him. He 100% deserves it.
This is the direction the game is going, and needs to go to survive. Don’t like getting shown up? Get better or get out. This league ain’t waiting around for you.
Reliving my childhood tonight laying in my bed, watching the
@Braves
in the post season, listening to my dad chopping away. Happened so often that I made this stuffed chopper to use every October. Gotta say though, a bit different listening to Smoltz instead of watching him.
Scott Boras: wants to shut my vlog down, is not a friend of the people or fans, is not a fan of players marketing themselves, is not a fan of marketing his players.
PSA to all the players reading this, he doesn’t care about you. He cares about himself and his ego. Be smart.
Kobe Bryant will forever be the reason why baseball players think they're also basketball players. Thank you for the legacy you left behind, Kobe. You are missed!
OOOOOHHHHHH SO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THE GUY VIDEOING OUR DUGOUT IN 2018 ALDS WASN’T JUST DOING THAT TO “PrOtEcT aGaInSt ThE iNdIAnS sTeAlInG sIgNs”!? WHO WOULD HAVE EVER GUESSED THAT HE WAS UP TO NO GOOD. WHAT A REVELATION...maybe
@Mlb
will do something about it this time but 🤷🏻♂️
I’ll take these 2 rings over your .1% WAR advantage
@BauerOutage
😂. The fact you value an individual nerd stat over team wins is textbook participation trophy generation.
@MLB
In the strongest possible terms, I deny committing any violation of the league’s domestic violence & sexual assault policy. I am appealing this action and expect to prevail. As we have throughout this process, my representatives & I respect the confidentiality of the proceedings.
1) So let me get this straight
@Mlb

cleats. You threatened to levy unprecedented fines against me. You threatened to eject me from the game if I took the field in them. You threatened to suspend me if I wore them. “Free Joe Kelly” doesn’t
@elonmusk
It appears her lawyers had the evidence the entire time. Speaking specifically about the video of her laying in bed next to me with no marks on her face the morning after she claims I brutally attacked her, an email containing that video was sent to her attorney Bryan Freedman…
Dodger fans: I love you already, I’m excited to meet you all and interact with you, and I love signing autographs for fans. But please, have some respect for my personal space when I’m at my house or hotel. It’s not ok to follow me through the hotel demanding that I sign.
MLB: we have a marketing problem.
MLB: owns Mlb network
MLB: lets Mlb network have shows hosted by people who hate baseball and the players.
MLB: see! Marketing!
🤷🏻♂️🥴🤡
While I have allowed my representatives to speak on my behalf over the last six weeks, I can no longer be silent. I will speak very candidly about the current petition when appropriate, but need to address the allegations made today in The Washington Post.
