Baseball being gone has made me sad. I don’t like being sad. So I’ve decided I’m going to start a twitter thread about things about baseball that make me happy and add one tweet to it each day until we’re back.
Eloy Jiménez waving to his mom after hitting home runs.
Nolan Arenado’s jaw-dropping defense.
Zack Greinke interviews.
Ozzie and Ronald’s friendship.
Bryce Harper’s hair.
Robinson Cano being smoother on a diamond than I’ve ever been anywhere in my life.
“I’m like that!” (This is my way of saying I miss @Jomboy_ baseball breakdowns)
Scherzer stalking around the mound after a strikeout.
Tim Anderson bat spikes.
Soto shuffles.
That smile. That damn smile.
Robbed home runs.
Ultimate grand slams.
Cotton Eyed Joe.
Kevin Pillar and his blatant disregard of the laws of gravity.
Orbit.
The Freeze owning everyone.
Yoán Moncada’s flawless swing to bat-drop transition.
AtMarlins in-game making me laugh every single night (it still makes me laugh daily but in-game is just another level https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💙" title="Blue heart" aria-label="Emoji: Blue heart">).
Derek Dietrich energy.
Isan Diaz’s dad reacting the same way any of us would if we had a child hit their first MLB home run off deGrom (or anyone else for that matter).
Edwin’s parrot rides.
Random legendary moments by the players you’d least expect.
Mariners commercials.
Oakland’s kelly green jerseys.
Literally just Mike Trout. I genuinely miss watching him make baseball look like some simple game that anyone could pick up and be good at and not the incredibly grueling and difficult game it really is
Ichiro sticking around with the Mariners even after he’s retired and just continuing to do Ichiro things.
Nelson Cruz and the sound the ball makes off his barrel.
Additional tweet for today: it’s not really something that one can miss, but the first letter from every tweet in this thread (including this one) makes a sentence which is a baseball moment that I’m glad happened.
