Tweet of the Week
Tweet. Retweet. Repeat. #VoteLamb #VoteLongo pic.twitter.com/RybRZzR0Xo
— Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) July 8, 2016
With 550 retweets, among non-selfish Tweets e.g. not "Retweet for a chance to win...", it was the team's most popular since June 2014, and third-most all time. To give you some idea, it was retweeted 16 more times than "#Dbacks manager Kirk Gibson and bench coach Alan Trammell have been relieved of their duties." Sadly, it wasn't enough for Lamb, but it did get us the brief existence of Paul Goldschmidt and his now-deleted Twitter account. It was, let's be honest, kinda bland: pictures of a tray of garlic fries was about as controversial as it got. Brandon McCarthy was not exactly challenged at the top of the baseball Twitter pyramid.

@AZSnakepit I'd say the actual lamb is getting some of that 8.7%. Like maybe 8%.

No inning has been that great for Shelby Miller this season, but the 4th has been the worst. He has a 15.43 ERA in 4th innings #Dbacks

Whenever the #SFGiants play the #DBacks & @PatrickCorbin46 pitches, I like to remind people how I once saw him do a 360 dunk. #Athlete

The last time the #Dbacks played on Sunday Night Baseball, this account didn't even exist yet.

If we could be guaranteed some footage of Gregor Blanco crying after the game, I might start rooting for two more perfect innings
