Washed-up catcher. Philadelphia Phillies TV color analyst. 4 great pain in the ass kids w/ the best wife/mother of all time! Man alive, I love baseball!!!
Spring training is over and I’m over the “spring training was a sprint” mentality. I’m tired of the hugs and kisses for throwing 4-5 innings. My goodness, can we be any softer? They all have their own chefs, strength coaches, and mental gurus. Go freakin’ play!
Flying back home from Clearwooder in a minute. I just wanted to point out that the overwhelming support for the
@Phillies
throughout spring training has been nothing short of amazing. You truly are the best fans in the world. Nice to see Philly painted red again!
Ain’t nobody happier than me to put this on today and bring
@Phillies
baseball back into your living room today at 1 p.m., only on
@NBCSPhilly
+!
@TMacPhils
and I will have the call!
I am indeed biased because I’m fortunate enough to work w/ him on a daily basis, but
@TMacPhils
killed the Bucs/Panthers national broadcast today. Literally, the only reason I watched. Nobody prepares better than him in any sport and it shows. Well done, pards! Do the damn thing!
Trea Turner’s bat path is so flat. Trea Turner’s bat speed is a thing. Trea Turner’s high finish creates stupid backspin. You don’t see a whole lotta pretty right-handed swings but Trea Turner sure does have one. Trea Turner gets it! Trea Turner is really good!
I typically don’t send stuff out w/ regards to our family, but there ain’t a whole lot going on these days. ‘Tis one of the finest days of the year! I want to wish my lass a very happy “39”th birthday. Megan Patricia McGonagle, Sláinte! Happy St. Paddy’s to all!🍀🍀🍀
There are a lot of things I can’t wait to discuss about the
@Phillies
, but as a lifelong hometown fan and
@NBCSPhilly
contributor in the booth and studio, we have a lot to look forward to! Ownership and front office have done a lot of GREAT things!

!!!
First time out all season. Always representing!
@Phillies
I got room for another up here,
@TMacPhils
You’re always welcome in the Keystone State!
I probably won’t watch the World Series. These pitching matchups are gonna be putrid. I just can’t stand to watch Cole, Scherzer, Verlander, Strasburg, Greinke, Corbin. Amazing how it ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS comes down to pitching!!!
Here is a pic of that Barry Larkin autographed ball he was kind enough to sign for me.
@TMacPhils
wanted me to get it out on social media. HOF 2012. What an honor that must be!
Get rid of the stinking rule. It’s killing the game and killing the position! Well done,
@theknappyboy5
! Drop the hammer!
@Phillies
win and that’s all that matters!
That is just an awful call. Great for the
@Phillies
but what a joke that our game has come down to this! The objective for any defense in any sport is to prevent the other team from scoring.
#Embarrassing
! But again, great that the good guys are back on top!

@TMacPhils
You tell folks to NEVER take anything for granted. I like to think I don’t, but I would give just about anything to be at Fenway Park right now betweeen those white lines. The older I get, the more I miss playing. You play it because it’s a game. You play it because you love it!
Baseball, how I’ve missed you! Tune in to

@JohnKruk
& myself. Games starts at 1:05! Can���t wait to bring another season of Phillies baseball to your living room! Let’s do this!
Ain’t gonna lie, I’m kinda fired up for this Flyers-Penguins game at The Linc. Nothing I’d rather be doing on this Saturday night in Clearwater! Phitin’ Phils by day and Fly Boys by night!
#SignMeUp
I’ll take the month of October twelve months a year! Perfect weather✅ Harvest✅ Hunting✅ MLB Playoffs✅ 4 kids in school and not bothering us✅ Yep, I’m all in!
I’m not the biggest fan of social media and I don’t like to brag but let me just throw this out there. It’s 9:53 and I just cut our 9 year old’s hair. Mickey got the best fade this side of the Mississippi. I then ran the sweeper. My Friday night >yours. Don’t @ me
@TMacPhils
What a great series! Congrats to the Nats! Well deserved and hard fought!
I gotta tell ya, however, that this is the worst day of the year. There is no more baseball for months to come. Days get shorter but spring will be here before we know it. Amen!!!
Let’s go…right here…right now! We got a lotta thump to go along w/ a helluvalotta bump! Good luck to me going to sleep tonight!

My son just referenced

‘s mitt and what kind it was. I told him Andrew uses a Mizuno mitt. He didn’t say “glove”. I have succeeded at parenting and passing down baseball jargon...at least for a day!
How ‘bout that at bat by former

@PGosselin15
Down 0-2 in the count but battled his ass off to lace a 1B to left-center. Sandwiched between 2 NL MVP’s.
#NoBigDeal
Couldn’t happen to a better guy!
Everyone does laundry at 11:41 on a Saturday night. I’m doing Mickey’s tonight and I came across his teeshirt before I threw it in the dryer. You’re damn right it’s America’s Game! Let’s do spring training already!
Jose Alvarado just struck out the side. The last pitch was 101 mph and it went straight down. It's March 20th. That's all I have to say for now!
@Phillies
I’m not a jersey guy, but I’m gonna get one, and I’m going w/ a

@JasonKelce
all day and twice on Sundee!!! If he played baseball, he’d be a catcher!!! There ain’t a doubt in my mind!!!
@Eagles
2 points I’d like to make this evening…
1. How did Adam Wainwright get anybody out in the Dodgers’ lineup? His fastball topped out at 92. You can’t top out at 92 and be successful at the major league level! Musta been luck!!!🤔🤔🤔
2. I ❤️ playoff baseball!!!
Tonight I get to watch my hometown team
@Phillies
play the greatest game ever made on the greatest day of the year...Opening Day is finally here!!!
@NBCSPhilly
I carried Mickey (7 year old) up to bed. I took him upstairs and asked him…”Mickey, you gotta pee?” The response I got…”Yes, sir, very badly!” He didn’t say “yeah”, he didn’t say “nope”. He didn’t say, “…very bad…”. He said, “Yes, sir, very badly!” My work here is done!
@diegoettedgui
I’m done w/ Tik Tok and Fortnite. The little ones are gonna learn. I’m tired of nobody listening to me when I speak Spanish in this house. My Spanish 👍👍👍. My drawings 👎👎👎. 15 words/week ain’t gonna kill ‘em!
Man alive, there is ZERO eye test/ZERO feel anymore! This 🤬 ain’t good for the game! You may eventually “win” a World Series but it ain’t gonna make people happy watching it! You’re gonna lose by winning!
I would like to thank all of you for siding with me and discrediting
@TMacPhils
and
@GmurphNBCS
on the debate as to whether Kentucky is a southern state or a northern state? They have learned their lessons!
Sooooo....this place for the next 2 nights.
@TMacPhils
@GmurphNBCS
and myself coming to you live only on
@NBCSPhilly
Nola vs. Price and Arrieta vs. Pomeranz. All the makings of a great 2-game series!
@JSalisburyNBCS
You are the very best of the best, Jim. Nobody is better and I’m personally gonna miss the hell outta you. We all will. Best of luck down the road, my friend! Sláinte!
If I was “in my prime” (if I ever really had a prime) and had 100 AB’s vs. Scherzer and 100 AB’s vs. Cole, I’d get a grand total of 3 combined hits...if I was lucky!
A buddy sent this to me the other day. Couldn’t be happier for
@THoffman51
and his Call to the Hall. He was a joy to catch, a great teammate, and even better MAN! Way to go, Hoffy!
The best 2 things about the great state of DE are its roads and
@RealDGunn
Nobody can debate that! I would love to know their budget to keep them so smoothly paved! I hit a pothole in PA every 50 feet!
