I survived. I kept stepping up to the plate every day. And now -- my debut book is here. Refuse to Lose: How the 1995 #Mariners Saved Seattle Baseball Available NOW @ a.co/d/07eksw73 #MLB #baseball #BaseballHistory #Booksky

An early chapter, before The Baseball Guy became the brand. Authentic Recovery Homes shared a piece of my story. Friday, I tell it in my own words — Staying in the Game, Ep 1. 🎥 www.instagram.com/reel/DexOBS5... See you at the ballpark.

I'm AJ. I'm The Baseball Guy — and I'm more than that. Baseball saved my life. Friday, the first episode of Staying in the Game goes live. This is my story. See you at the ballpark. #StayingInTheGame #MentalHealth #Recovery #Baseball

Aside from the day my daughter was born and the day her mom and I got together -- this was the greatest day of my life.

I know it's unlikely. I know only 2 teams have ever forced Game 7 after trailing 0-3 and only 1 of them won the series. But this is baseball and anything can -- and has -- happened. And despite getting shellacked last night, Tampa's a damn good ball club and shouldn't be written off yet.

I don't even know what to say about this game. After 2 close games in Milwaukee the #Brewers are putting a beatdown on the #Rays. After a game like this is when you find out what a team's really made of. Your move, Tampa. #WorldSeries #MLB #baseball

This catch was downright Griffey-esque.

#Rays win tonight and get back in the series.

He's not wrong.

Letting a routine ground ball go through your legs in the World Series will do that. Not to mention Ryan Vilade is better against lefties. And shaking things up when you're down 0-2 is never a bad idea. #Rays #Brewers #WorldSeries

Good times. Now all you can do is angrily press the "end call" button.

Never thought I'd see the World Series played at Costco -- but here we are.

They'll tell you tonight's an elimination game. It isn't — but for the man crouched behind the plate, it feels like it. Tampa's season is in their catcher's hands tonight. Keep an eye on him — he'll be keeping an eye on everything else.

Game 3 tonight at the Trop. #Rays basically facing a must-win. Only one team's ever come back from 0-3 -- and never in the #WorldSeries. #Brewers can take a prohibitive 3-0 lead with a chance to wrap it up tomorrow. My gut tells me Tampa gets back in it. They're too good to lose 3 in a row.

Sounds like they're not planning on playing another home game. I like the confidence -- but don't expect Tampa to go down without a fight.

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

This is as about as useful as the "that would've been a home run in x number of ballparks" thing.

Also, why the hell did Yandy Díaz let that curveball go?

Stop me if you've heard this one before -- the Milwaukee #Brewers rallied to win a baseball game. Both of these games could've gone either way. It'll be interesting to see how the #Rays respond. #MLB #Postseason #WorldSeries

Gettin some serious '95 "refuse to lose" #Mariners vibes from the #Brewers. Which is funny/weird/interesting because Brewers played one season as the Seattle Pilots before being sold and moving to Milwaukee. #baseball #WorldSeries #MLB

Punch. Counterpunch. This is gonna be a hell of a series. #Brewers #Rays #MLB #WorldSeries #Postseason #baseball

Bednar's 9 playoff appearances: Lost in 1st Round 3x Lost in 2nd Round 4x Lost in Conference Finals 1x Won Stanley Cup 1x And he missed the playoffs his first year. Other than 1 championship, what's he done to deserve keeping his job this long?

This was the first #WorldSeries I remember watching. Quite an introduction to the Fall Classic, I'd say.

Pat Murphy reminds me so much of my high school baseball coach. Just a down-to-earth, no-nonsense, give you the shirt off his back guy who loves baseball -- and knows it inside and out. How can you not root for a dude like that and his team? #Brewers #MLB #WorldSeries

Really not a fan of how pervasive analytics have become in baseball. If your ace pitcher's cruising along and you're winning the game -- you leave him IN. To hell with what some computer or pocket protector-wearing nerd says.

Baseball was better back when John Smoltz was pitching, because that meant John Smoltz wasn’t broadcasting

#Brewers in 6. Should be a hell of a series, but I'm not convinced the #Rays have the horses to pull it off. #WorldSeries #Postseason #MLB

Cue Bob Lobel and his famous "Why can't we get guys like that?" line.

Let's freakin go!
