Cedar Rapids right-hander Todd Van Steensel acknowledges what we here at Minoring in Twitter have been saying all along:
Twitter is also really strange and full of randomness. Royals outfielder Desmond Henry has a message for women who wear fake hair in the summer, of all things:
He also thinks sliding head-first into second base — a practice that is universally discouraged by baseball coaches — would ruin his tattoos:
Hashtag Wear it Clown:
Note: We did not wish Brandon Barnes a happy birthday. Sorry, bud.
Check out the uniform worn by the Visalia Rawhide:
Maybe in reference to Dirk Hayhurst’s latest pity piece on Minor Leaguers:
Either Addison Russell is watching movies on the bus or he just pulls out obscure Forrest Gump references:
He also probably wears dirty clothes:
Mets prospect Allan Dykstra has a review of his latest fast food adventure:
Not to be confused with Slurpees:
There’s only one?
Gwinnett’s Cody Martin stopping by Niagara Falls:
Quad Cities Chase McDonald wants it hotter in the Midwest League. Be careful what you wish for:
Cardinals prospect Xavier Scruggs led the Memphis Redbirds on a visit to a local hospital, in uniform:
Bad news if you’re on the Pacers:
For fellow line dancing snobs among us:
Pretty girls love baseball players, and Cutter Dykstra is the current champion (that’s Jamie-Lynn Sigler/Meadow Soprano):
Tigers prospect Robbie Ray also did OK:
What happens when you give Minor Leaguers pink jerseys to wear? They take cell phone photos of them:
My man, Trevor Gretzky, has a pink bat for Mrs. Gretzky:
Some thoughts from Bryan Harper (brother of that guy, yes):
But can you be a hipster and a Bryce Harper fan at the same time?
Corky Miller living in the past (not a mustache reference):
Last week, we heard about the rare and delicious Montgomery delicacy of Golden Double Stuf Oreos. This week? Watermelon “flavor creme”
Graduated while in the Minors? Not bad.
Phillies prospect J.P. Crawford, the nephew of Carl Crawford, has a dog that looks like Ghost from Game of Thrones:
Nope, wait, it gets better:
White Sox prospect Courtney Hawkins got some helmet decals, although they appear to be bald eagles, not hawks:
Brandon Nimmo was drafted by the Mets in the first round, despite never playing high school baseball. Why? Because the state of Wyoming doesn’t have high school baseball. Why? Because the Wyoming snow in May can swallow you:
Ouch. Get well soon:
Wow, and this one from Ryan Dent. This looks pretty serious, although it could be fake — a description from DelawareOnline.com said they remained in the game:
“Dent backpedaled into shallow left field to catch a fly ball to begin the fourth inning, but collided with Heller, who was charging in to make the play. Both the shortstop and outfielder remained down for several minutes, but stayed in the game.”
Chipotle Tweets of the Week MiLB.com’s own Tyler Maun sent us this one:
Yeah, and it’s now $1.50 to get avocado on your foot-long sandwich at Subway, at least here in always-affordable Manhattan:
