What are these "twitters" and "tweets" of which they speak?

Hello!

Good to see a picture of Bort in his youth before life had beaten him down. Nice leather jacket.

I was literally just about to post that I changed from a Lenny to a  Squiggy SO GRADUALLY.

If Javy died right now I'd still be able to say he's the most "electrifying" Cub I've ever had the pleasure of watching. His ability to slide into third to avoid the tag when the throw had him dead to rights last night was typical of his baserunning sorcery.  Later, when he got caught between third and home on a chopper by Rizzo he acted like he was giving himself up (the Cubs were comfortably ahead after all) and then at the very last second—when the Rockies had figured he was conceding the out and briefly let their guard down—he suddenly turned around and darted back toward home, forcing another throw, which not only allowed Bryant the time to get to third but also Rizzo to get all the way to second.  I honestly am not sure if I've ever had more fun simply watching another human play baseball.

Hearing how irritated the Rockies announcers got by Javy's counter-sign stealing measures, I hope he does it every time they play Colorado from now on.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

He's striking out 21.3% of the time in 80 PA. Supposedly K rate starts to stabilize around 60 PA (which we're just gonna ignore in Ian Happ's case). If Javy is only going to strike out at a league average rate then there really is no ceiling for him, is there?

I love how one of them says "Anyhow, even if he's attempting to, that's part of the game. And if you do steal signs, shame on you." So, which is it?

Whatever the non-white player is doing, he's in the wrong here.

I generally don't pay much attention to things like this, but I was genuinely surprised he didn't rate Player of the Week.
