Braves Tweet For The Day ... Braves Camp Booming

Atlanta Braves outfield prospect L.V. Ware just tweeted this from Orlando:

Tweet-lv-spring_medium

Terrific to see the boys tweeting with such excitement already. And good to see L.V. rhyming in his tweets, whether that was intentional or not. Braves camp "officially" opens this Sunday when all Pitchers and Catchers report to spring training.

Follow LV on Twitter @LV_Ware.

I don’t see a rhyme anywhere…

And really, guys – is typing “we’re” instead of “we” really that difficult?

I loathe twitter.

freddie g...

throwing bp.

not a particularly notable rhyme, but I think that’s what he was talking about

Limited space for characters yo!
then why tweet?

if you have more to say than the space?

Do you understand the usage of Twitter?
yes, i do

but do you understand the usage of all OTHER social media?

I’m with you man. Hate twitter.

In re "we"

Kind of a colloquilalism in that context. I like it. We need some looseness and fun on this team.

I love Twitter. I tweet all day.

Twitter is awesome!

But I don’t get people who follow athletes. Who cares. I love to follow comedians though. People who are smart and funny actually write things worth reading.

I like how he will put extra letters in Fredi’s name, but leave out necessary letters in other words.

First law of thermotwitterdynamics?

First Law of twitterdynamics: You don't talk twitterdynamics.

Of course.

Hold on, that is fight club isn’t it.

Sorry.

So you just don’t like how LV types? You know he’s my buddy right. I will come find you.

It has nothing to do with him and everything to do with twitter.

Inconsistent use of “in” vs “ing”. (throwin, running)
If you’re going to speak street, at least be consistent.

… word

Cranky

Wow, a lot of b*tching for only 5 comments.

No shit.

I love baseball not twitter grammar!

Well there were a lot of mistakes.

Just having some fun while waiting for baseball season. Nice to see some of the hitters there before the “official” report date.

PLAY BALL!

He speaks some good english

idk wut u guyz r talkn bout

Grrrr, I don't understand young people and how the talk

rabblerabblerabble

Focusing on the subject matter; it excites me to see tweets of any kind about baseball action taking place. I can’t wait till spring training games start.

THIS. Emphatically.
Its MFataCali yo

we be educatd. now check yoself b4 u wrck yoself

Yeah, I'm 30 and married

I just can’t pull it off anymore…

You pulled that off at some point? haha

No, I could never pull it off

I mastered a few languages over the years. I still speak German, Spanish relatively fluidly and a little Farsi. At one point I spoke some Portuguese and briefly even a little Italian…… but I was never able to fully master American Text Message Short-hand Slang. I guess I never got the chance (or the desire) to get fully immersed in it.

I only know two phrases in Portuguese....

Um choppe por favor.

and the other is a ridiculous insult that I probably shouldn’t post on here. It involves a description of somebody (or part of somebody) in relation to an aircraft carrier.

Tschuss!

….und anscheinend ebenfalls mindestens ein Wort deutsch.

This was enough to make me smile.

This thread is a great example of our site motto: “Talking Chop: We’ll Find Something To Bitch About”.

The bitching I can put up with

its the moaning that I find awkward

Reading his tweets now.

He seems like a guy who really loves the game, plus he’s played all around me in his minor league career, so that gives him some more Baseball Cred, at least with me.

I always learn something new reading threads

I didn’t even know we had a prospect named LV Ware. Which team does he play for, and what position?

I love the fact the guys are already getting into the groove

However, it took me a minute when he said “Skie and Uggla hitting”. I was like who is Skie? Is somebody Skiing? Why is Heyward’s new nickname Skie? Prado could be a little huskie? Then my braves name jargon clicked in from off-season dormancy and I smacked myself for allowing precious minutes to go by.

Oh shit, I get the feeling that the Braves haven’t felt satisfied (your mom) since August…That’s a really powerful motivator over such a marathon schedule as we see featured in baseball.
