The Week in Diamondbacks Tweets

Tweet of the Week (co-winners)

Don't get a lot of nat'l press in AZ, but anyone who isn't making effort to watch Nick Ahmed play SS is missing out on one of the best ever.

— Brad Ziegler (@BradZiegler) April 23, 2016

And it's not just rampant homerism.

Nick Ahmed may be the best defensive shortstop in @MLB right now. @Dbacks

Honorable mentions

I know this first one has absolutely nothing to do with the Diamondbacks. But, guess what? I do not care.

Asked Y. Tomas if he's doing anything different at plate
"No."
Leg kick?
"No."
New mechanics?
"No."
Toe tap?
"No."
Thank you.
"No."

MadBum AJ's Goldy. Paul made him waste some pitches though,#littlethings

— Jody Jackson (@Jody_Jackson) April 21, 2016

AJ's? If you're looking for a synonym for "K", maybe "CO's" would be more appropriate, given he leads the team in K%. Of course, there may be another, simpler explanation:

Tomas stared at that fly ball like it was a set of IKEA instructions

Can't really believe some people don't know that a wooden baseball bat would float. Stay in school, kids.

The two winningest pitchers for the @dbacks 19 games into the season are, as we all expected, Rubby de la Rosa and Tyler Clippard. 2 each.

The Week in McCarthy Tweets

Good to see McCarthy off his ass and actively Tweeting again. I was being to worry he had got a life or something...There was the whole Twitter discussion with Curt Schilling, but I'm deeply disinterested in that. Let's stick to the fun stuff.
