Tweet of the Week
More of a conversation of the week... For reasons which should likely be very obvious, I found the following discussion particularly satisfying...
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/8541971/twitter.png)
I don’t see why the D-backs don’t have something featuring actual snakes. After all, Tampa have the Rays Touch Tank at Tropicana Field. I like the idea of a trench surrounding the pool in the outfield, filled with assorted reptiles: snakes, scorpions, Komodo dragons. It’d certainly help keep other unwanted creatures e.g. Yasielius Puigii out of it...

@Chris_Gabel Both of those have pretty obvious answers.

Finally in this section, some of those participating in a certain Gameday thread discussion this week, might be interesting in following this potty-mouthed account, which Tweets out every time a pitcher gets a hit...

I'm not afraid to admit that until about 2013 I thought Gregor Blanco and Gregory Polanco were the same person #pirates #Dbacks

Visiting team fans every game where a DBack homer goes in the pool.... "Wow, they have a camera in the pool?!" Every time #DBACKS
— Chris Demelio (@DemelioAZ) May 17, 2017
Right up there with “The D-backs uniforms are the ugliest in baseball”. Every series...

No joke: A fan behind home plate yelled "Adriana" and the next pitch from Matt Harvey ended up in the seat, courtesy Jake Lamb.
— Chris Gabel (@Chris_Gabel) May 17, 2017
If you don’t get it, let the New York Post explain: "The Mets star pitcher was out partying until 4 a.m. Saturday before skipping that day's game, because he was "an emotional wreck" after seeing pictures of Adriana Lima with Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman. Harvey, according to Page Six, thought Lima was his girlfriend... To add insult to injury, Lima unfollowed Harvey on Instagram after the event." Oh, the humanity. I think the Dark Knight needs to get used to that kind of heckling...
