The Little Girl and The Littlest Girl will be accompanying me to a Daddy-Daughter Dance tonight – the first time The Littlest Girl has joined us – and I’m already feeling pretty emotional.

Tony Kemp says when he came up in 2017, he was asked to use “the system” and he said no. Was having a good season at Triple A and didn’t want to change anything up. Kept his head down and didn’t say anything.

Trevor Bauer had no shortage of opinions on the Astros cheating while it was happening, so he certainly has something to say about it now. @ctrent has the #Reds pitcher's comments on the scandal and much more, including candid thoughts on Rob Manfred. https://t.co/hEbcgg5PfX
