Hunt and Peck

Matt Carpenter is tweeting from the heart and I am totally here for it - A Hunt and Peck

Matt Carpenter’s tweets used to be kinda boring (sorry). Now they are awesome!

In Thursday’s Hunt and Peck I wrote about how athletes being candid is awesome. With Twitter, we seem to have more access to them than ever and getting a glimpse of their lives and thoughts adds a level of humanity to a world sometimes devoid of it.

So, with that in mind, Matt Carpenter has been tweeting more often and with more personality lately and I am totally here for it.

Not to rag on his Twitter too much, but before this week it mostly consisted of tweets like this (along with a bunch of TCU tweets):

And I need to remember to pick up a gift card at @Academy for my dad for Father's Day. #Cardinals #ad"

Which is fine, just not anything to write a post around, you know? But recently, something changed. The tweets went from hashtag ad to hashtag rad (sorry, sorry, I’m trying to remove it). Early this week I reported on his tweet about the alleged bald eagle fight like the esteemed journalist I am, but ever since the Super Bowl (maybe a little bit before), Carp’s been dropping tweet dimes left and right. Let’s examine and appreciate:

Asked all the time “what does it take to get through a 162 game baseball schedule”.. Well the morning should start off with a good balance breakfast(translation=coffee) go to field with a consistent routine that prepares you both mentally and physically (translation=coffee.)

Matt Carpenter is legitimately funny, folks. I am pretty excited that he is now sharing his humor with us via Twitter!

Forty-eight days until Opening Day!
