Everybody always asks, "What's it like to play with Albert and Yadi? Are they just the best?" My answer... "yeah, it's great! Especially when they're playing and not in the dugout scheming! For 17 years, if Yadi isn't playing, he's going to pour water down my pants. #playmore

What a surprise to see @Jack9Flaherty waiting on me at the airport like this... then I was wheel-chaired all the way to the plane. He respects his elders so much. Good one young fella.

Don't worry @PujolsFive ... I gave up a home run in my first ever game too! You'll figure it out and who knows... 17 years from now you and @A_Knizner might break me and yadi's record!

The end of the @Phillies and @Dodgers game yesterday was hard to watch obviously because of how it ended. I woke up this morning still devastated for Orion Kerkering. But I’ll tell you what I did see: In a moment of total disbelief and heartbreak that their season ended so abruptly, catcher JT Realmuto consoling Orion. Nick Castellanos running in from right field to put his arms around Orion. Manager Rob Thomson waiting at the top step for his pitcher to hug him and remind him that he was loved. Sometimes we think so much about outcomes and performances that we forget that these are just people. With real emotions. And in that moment Orion had his team loving all over him because when you play with somebody for 162, plus spring training, plus playoffs… you become family.
Were they sad they lost? Of course. But their heartbreak for Orion and support for him was clear and great to witness. In a moment of defeat and total shock , the Phillies showed true class and support for their young player who made a mistake.
Well done Phillies.
And congrats Dodgers.

This was the scene today as I drove in around 2:00. In my 17+ years playing in this great city this is the best I've ever seen our crowds. That's saying a lot, but it's true. Y'all have been amazing all year. We're feeling it... thanks. Another month of that would be just fine

Want to clear a few things up as I didn't pitch like I wanted to down the stretch and feel the need to explain. On Aug 28th I was hit in the knee by a comebacker against Atlanta. Without knowing it, after that game my stride length got shorter by almost a foot. Timing was thrown

Lou Brock was the first person from the @Cardinals organization that I met. I walked into the spring training clubhouse put my stuff down, turn around, and here comes Lou... walking right towards me. He hands me a ball and says, "Will you sign this for me?" (cont'd)
Our hearts are broken.
Lou Brock was an amazing player and outstanding person.
He loved the game and all of Cardinal Nation.
Rest in peace, Lou ❤️

@Cardinals nation lost another legend today. Mr Gibson is one of the reasons this franchise is what it is. By all accounts one of the most ferocious competitors to ever live, and one of the most loved Cardinals players ever. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

Just so everyone knows, I feel great. 100%, with zero symptoms. Out of an abundance of caution and following MLB protocols I have to test negative twice before I can return. Which we're hoping is very soon. Thanks for thinking about me!

I love replay. Glad we have it for sure. But, the slide play where the runner beats the play by a mile but comes off between where his foot touches and his hand touches shouldn't be an out. He beat it... he's safe. Just my opinion, I'm okay if you disagree. I'm right though.

A teammate just asked me... what’s that smell in our clubhouse. I told him it’s a smell that I haven’t smelled in a few years. It’s the smell of all our champagne pops over the years and the faintest hint of mildew. It’s one of my favorite smells in the world. #12happensin2018

Nobody will ever convince me that @Yadimolina04 isn’t the best CATCHER of all time. You can say there are other catchers that were better hitters. But catcher? Not possible to be better than he was. And WAR can’t measure all that he did.

I love getting this reminder every year. I'll never forget the moment I heard I was traded ...."Sir, I love your daughter...(phone rings) ""oh I just got traded to the @Cardinals ? Okay, gotta go."" "Sooooo, ummm, never mind that...Do I have your blessing to marry Jenny?"
We made a trade...
16 years ago today to acquire Adam Wainwright, Jason Marquis, and Ray King from Atlanta!

Yesterday was something I’ll never forget. But, it wasn’t just about me. Jenny’s friends made shirts in honor of her, and the countless sacrifices she’s made to allow me to play this long. She’s been my biggest supporter and hopefully she’s okay with seeing a lot more of me!

Anybody out there who thinks that fans shouldn’t try to catch balls hit into the stands need to relax. What in the world are people supposed to do??? “Here comes a really hard ball hit really hard but I’m just going to sit still and let it hit me right in the junk.” Cray cray

Things to do for the game of baseball: 1. Get rid of Instant replay on every play. It should be for egregious errors only. A manager gets two flags... throw them right away or don’t. 2. Get rid of over the top shifts. Two guys on each side of the base. 3. No DH in the NL!

These two lineups are awesome, but harder than getting these great hitters out is matching socks in a house with 7 people. Amazingly, every sock you see has no match. It’s just not possible! I’ve spent an hour matching socks… there really is a sock monster
