I asked him and he told me he is fine with either, unless he has since changed his stance. Good to know! Last I had heard was that he preferred to keep Thad for family/friends, but that goes back at least a year. He was Thad until he asked them to change it to Thaddeus at one point saying he preferred that. The booth on the radio of the MLB game last night, believe it or not, discussed just this during the 20 minutes I was listening, and said precisely what Kelly just did (to the point I am pretty sure she must've been listening too?).

Yes, I was--though that wasn't the first time I heard it, and I am guessing the booth was also relying on the earlier reporting, so I imagine it could still be outdated info. Or he could simply have given up between then and now and decided that if folks are talking about him, that's good enough to not worry about whether they use his nickname.

Izzy Wilson is a double shy of the cycle in the 5th inning.

Izzy Wilson is a double shy of the cycle in the 5th inning. Well he didn't get the cycle, but he did hit a walk off HR. After a pretty brutal April through June, he's hitting .481/.517/1.037 so far in July.

The radio guys talk about that every time his name comes up. I think one of them might have spoken personally with his parents at spring training one year.
They have to fill the air with words... and his name doesn't come up during the big league radio broadcast very often.

Watching the Ward tape, I know itâs tough to criticize when someone strikes out the side, but he looked Kiké everything was soft, loopy and outside. Can he work the inside of the plate with a fastball to keep everyone honest or is he majority offspeed? That’s not what I saw at all, some of those were really sharp sliders What I notice is the tunneling. I'm sold on that as a positive. Ward was mentioned as a tunneler a few years ago by Abbott.
