Ladies, meet Luke Jackson. He’s 6-foot-2, has long, dreamy hair, a few freckles and is one of the Texas Rangers’ top prospects. A first-round pick, he also happens to be spending his summer in picturesque Myrtle Beach.
The guy plays baseball and relaxes by the ocean all day.
He’s a self-described “Chipotle and movie connoisseur.”

Tucson’s Cody Decker isn’t exactly having a great season, but it hasn’t affected his dedication to Twitter.

There’s only so much to do during a rain delay, and there’s only so many empty athletic tables. Parker Bridwell provides us a look behind the curtain in Delmarva, where trainer’s towels have multiple uses:
That’s Creede Simpson snoozing, by the way — he and Bridwell evidently like photographing each other.
Rockies prospect David Dahl makes this sound worse than it probably is: Waffle House offers much more than delicious waffles:
Finally, Jeremy Barfield asks Twitter something most of us non-vegetarians have pondered, especially upon walking into a Waffle House:
Chipotle Tweet of the Week
If you had to spend all day at the ballpark being forced to play and/or watch baseball, it doesn’t leave much time for other important things, like…
