My favorite part of the @NCAAFootball HOF is the helmet wall when you first walk in. Over 765 schools represented. I instantly thought of @UniWatch.

@ericwhiteback @KrisBryant_23 I met his dad, Mike, at Spring Training back in 2017 or 2018. He talked to my boys for 10-15 minutes about life and baseball. It was very apparent that he did a good job raising Kris. Great father, great son!.

2,468 was tonight’s attendance at the @ecexpress home opener. I’m absolutely blown away. Over than 1000 more than last year. I’m sorry I didn’t post any clips or anything. I was too busy having the time of my life, like always. #ThankYouEauClaire #RollTrains.

Whichever @MLB team that is smart enough to draft @UMoTownBaseball’s @reed_latimer is going to get the grittiest, hard-nosed player I’ve watched in the @NWLbaseball.

There are few players I’ve enjoyed watching more play for the @ecexpress than @reed_latimer. Unbelievable competitor. Awesome to see him hit this #Nuke out of ISG Field. 3-0 Good Guys in Mankato.

As much as I love Carson Park, these are the dumbest dugouts I’ve seen at any stadium. Undersized for even a high school roster, zero protection from rain or sun, & concrete stairs mixed with metal spikes.

I can’t say enough about how much fun this season was for us. Thank you so much to the @ecexpress players. I tucked my son in tonight and he said he couldn’t wait to watch @StanfordBSB, @UMoTownBaseball, and @UIC_Baseball on tv next spring.

Whatever team is smart enough to draft or sign @mhelwig41 is getting a game moment pitcher. Over the last year and half I’ve watched him get out of so many jams. Big heart, great pitcher! The @ecexpress have been lucky to have you!.

For those who don’t know, @shane_ryan6 plays for @CMUBaseball but was hired as an intern for the @ecexpress this summer. We’re currently short a catcher and Shane is getting his opportunity. Well, he’s officially in the stat book with a HBP. Congrats, I guess?

Without listening to the audio, because it’s too loud here, I believe that is Grand Slam number 8 for the @ecexpress this season! @22Ethanfarris of @TxStateBaseball hits one that got about only 20 feet off the ground! #Missile

Our postseason dreams may be over, but we look forward to hosting everyone at Carson Park for tomorrow night’s final game of the season for the @ecexpress. It’s going to be a fun night and I’m excited to see everyone for one final bash.

The @ecexpress had the honor of hosting over 125 people for the @NWLbaseball and @NWLsoftball meetings this week in Eau Claire. I had many people come up to me and tell me how beautiful it is downtown. @VisitEauClaire @CityofEauClaire

Clutch walk off by @UMoTownBaseball’s @sam_kuch. If he didn’t have the biggest thighs on the team it may not have happened. Bonus points to @trahan_luke7 who got soaked in the celebration despite not pitching in this game. @express win it!

I can’t even begin to say how sick I am of the weather this summer. Rain and the threat of rain has cost the Express tens of thousands this summer that can’t be earned back. It makes for one depressing season.

I assume this is how it went:. “Hey Tanner, will you sacrifice @cadschwabe3 over to 3rd?”.-Coach Varsho. “Tell you what, let’s just win this thing right now” -@tmarsh097. @ecexpress win it 4-3 in 10 innings!

I won’t say how fast I drove down to Carson Park to see the @ecexpress win on a walk off for the 2nd straight night but I made it for the ninth inning. @tmarsh097 has two straight walk offs and he didn’t the ball more than 15 feet total. #efficiency.
