Welcome back to Twitter Tuesday, folks. In the comments, I'd appreciate it if you could voice your opinions on this little segment. Do you like it? Could you do without it? How can we improve it? Let us know. Also, vote in the poll.
Now, on to our top tweets of the week. I did my best to include as many player tweets as possible.
Tweets this week cover June 21st - June 27th.
Tuesday, June 21st:
A tweet from Donnie Collins, talking about David Phelps' bizarre inning.
That is the strangest inning I've ever seen. Phelps faced 7 hitters. All 7 got hits. Two pickoffs and a baserunning mistake are the outs.
Mark Teixeira likes The Office. He gets a kudos for that one.
I get made fun of on team flights b/c I watch The Office and laugh out loud! Big night of TV and sleep tonight, talk to you guys later.
Ah, the good old days, when pitchers had no regard for their arms.
Ah yes, a double-header tomorrow between the Yankees and the Reds. I am sure the starters relish the opportunity to toss 2 CGs each.
Wednesday, June 22nd:
A tweet from Josh Norris, discussing something I'm sure WWJD will love hearing.
In an interview in HS in NC, Rob Lyerly was asked to name the toughest pitcher he'd ever faced. His answer? #Yankees prospect Adam Warren.
Hah, John Lackey. Thanks for this, Brandon.
Watching John Lackey pitch certainly helps heal the pain!
A tweet after Boone Logan got Joey Votto and Jay Bruce out. I didn't believe it either.
Boone Logan puts little more distance between him and a bus ticket.
Thursday, June 23rd:
I'll be the first one to tell you that I am not a fan of Andrew Marchand, so I was surprised when I thought he made sense.
A guy like Wandy Rodriguez - and I'm not sure HOU would trade him - is not too exciting in AL East. Prices will be high too.
I was surprised, too, Mike.
Fairly disappointing Futures Game rosters for Yankee followers, no? No Banuelos or Betances? Only one NYY prospect? All right then.
Would you expect anything else from Swish? The guy could have fun anywhere, let alone New York.
Ain't nothing better than an off day in New York.
Friday, June 24th:
David Robertson is a really, really great guy.
Tickets to my event next week are on sale here highsocksforhope.com/events I'm really looking forward to it!
I'm assuming Joba went to see "Cars 2" with his family.
1st one was WAYYY better in my opinion!
A tweet from what might be my favorite Twitter account.
Suzyn, did you see the fan with one arm catch a foul pop?! Only one arm, and he still catches better than Cervelli!
Saturday, June 25th:
Maybe Josh Norris really wants to see Adam Warren in the Bronx?
Josh Norris
Adam Warren's last four starts: 29 IP, 16 H, 2 R, ER, 8 BB, 23 Ks #yankees
If healthy, where does CC end up when all is said and done?
Jeff Quagliata
CC moves into sole possession of 82nd place on the all-time strikeout list and is now the active K leader among LHPs with 1,878.
Sunday, June 26th:
I'd shake his hand for this... well, maybe if it was just Papi.
Old Hoss Radbourn
Ah, Old Timer's Day. I once went back to Boston for such an honor. Beaned three old 'mates and cuckolded another for old times' sake.
I can't believe he's 37 years old either.
Happy birthday Derek Jeter. 37-years-old today... unbelievable
Couldn't agree more, Dan.
Having NL teams face Rivera is almost unfair. Best way, really only way, to beat him is through repetition. That's why he's the G.O.A.T.
Monday, June 27th:
Doug Mittler, where do you and your four-letter network friends get your facts from? Speaking of Jesus Montero:
"There has been a decline in production since [the Lee non-trade]." Before the deal: .312 wOBA. After: .433 wOBA
Don't get used to it, Dante. He wont be there for long.
It's awesome how my favorite player is at the fields with us everyday. And he remembered me from when I went to arch a game. Jeter's the man
You better duck.
Yankees should sign Mitre *ducks*
Finally, a fourth tweet on the last day of my coverage. I really only decided to use this one to ask if you guys think Old Hoss Radbourn is actually Dwight K. Schrute, because I'm starting to think that's the case.
Old Hoss Radbourn
Yes, that's right: on page 627 of this Dodgers bankruptcy filing it indicates they owe one C. Radbourn a box of cheroots and a new spittoon
After reading it, all I could picture was Dwight handing Angela all of her things back, as well as their "contract." Unlikely, but it's kind of funny to think about.
Also, the Ledger Yankee's twitter picture is now of Sergio Mitre. Yikes.

Re: Hoss
Old Hoss Radbourn
Ah yes, a double-header tomorrow between the Yankees and the Reds. I am sure the starters relish the opportunity to toss 2 CGs each.
In Mark Prior’s prime, I traded for him to get onto the Yanks in MVP Baseball 2005, then one time started him in both games of a doubleheader. He three a complete game win in the 1st game, then a shutout in the 2nd game. Win.
Unless you're a pitcher or Gustavo Molina, kindly SWING THE BAT and ignore the Binder's bunt signal.
Immediately following, (Video game) Prior burst into flames...
Just once I'd like someone to call me "Sir," without adding, "You're making a scene."
I voted 10/10 for Twitter Tuesday...
…you find and relay some good stuff…keep up the good work.

Thank you!

You go through The Sporting News for the last 100 years, and you will find two things are always true. You never have enough pitching, and nobody ever made money.

some of them need a little more of a setup or explanation
but generally I like TT.
Live every week like it's shark week.
That can be done.

Also CC has a REALLY nice path lined up in front of him.
His lifetime stats at 30 years, 11 months, 7 days:
167-92, 2249.0 IP, 31 CG, 11 SHO, 1880 K, 7.52 K/9, 2.71 K/BB, 3.55 ERA, 3.54 FIP, 3.75 xFIP, 53.0 WAR
For as much as I knock winz, it IS damn impressive that he’s probably going to have an outside shot at 300 wins in this day and age. 3000 strikeouts is also within reasonable reach. Also the fact that his WAR is ALREADY 53.0 is outstanding.
We might be watching a Hall of Famer work his magic here, folks.
Unless you're a pitcher or Gustavo Molina, kindly SWING THE BAT and ignore the Binder's bunt signal.
I voted 3, but it's probably more of a 4
I’m not really into twitter at all, but the informative ones can be very interesting, I’d stick to those and maybe throw in one or two funny ones. Some analysis or commentary from you could be interesting too
I do add a little commentary, but it’s not easy to provide a lot of commenting on 140 characters or less.
You’d rather only a few funny ones, and the other informative? That’s reasonable, but sometimes if I use mostly all informative ones there’s a good chance it’s already been mentioned on PSA.
Say someone tweets something on Wednesday. There’s a high probability that if it was informative, someone already shared it on PSA. It would get very repetitive.

I voted 10/10
I really like these, especially the player tweets.
Never under estimate the grittiness and guttiness of Bret Gardner.

I like the Twitter Tuesdays.
Some weeks maybe there aren’t as many good tweets, but that’s not your fault. The twits you follow just need to step up their games ;-)
Maybe put your commentary after the tweet
so one can first read the original tweet and then the commentary. btw, Old Hoss is by far my favorite.
Testicle Tuesday
I go vroom-vroom again!
