, Swingin’ A’s, courtesy of Jennifer’s clever thinking, had an Athletics related hashtag trending on Twitter this week. The Sean Doolittle Appreciation Day hashtag got so popular, in fact, that it elicited a response from Eireann Dolan, Doolittle’s hilarious girlfriend, and Sean himself responded to dozens, if not hundreds, of the tweets personally.
The whole day is pretty heavily documented here on the site but today we’re going to feature some of those tweets and others related to the Athletics for this week’s Twitter Roundup. As always, if you see a great A’s tweet that you think should be included in this column, make sure to tag me in it so that I see it. My Twitter handle is at the top of this article. Without further ado, your Twitter roundup for the week!
Brodie is far from alone in this sentiment. We all miss our A’s.
Totally thrilled to be back in full #sjsharks mode lately, but can’t lie: still having some #athletics withdrawals. pic.twitter.com/6GDlgyBoVn

One simple tweet got A’s and Dodger’s fans foaming at the mouth. Nick keeps things in perspective…unless this is exactly what Billy WANTS you think.
My main reason as to why the A's dealing for Puig won't happen is because we heard about it already. Beane keeps things under wrap.

In other Puig trade news, Jason puts his loyalty on display by offering to trade his most valued, trusted and good looking friend. Totes lame, Jason. Totes lame.
I'll trade @GreenCollarBB for Puig

After thousands of Twitter peeps tweeted lovely things to Sean, someone still had to piss in the lemonade. Doolittle wasn’t having any of that, though.
When he wasn’t correcting troll grammar, he was being pretty funny. I guess. I mean, if you’re into that type of humor.
Ok everyone please quiet down so we can start. Welcome to Passive Aggressive Club.

Or don't quiet down I don't even care.
I think a lot of A’s fans agree with you, Dan.
I miss you Baseball. I also hate you Baseball.

Adrian doesn’t understand how baseball works. The bullpen is only as good as the centerfielder with a bad attitude on your team. Everyone knows that.
In the past 12 hours I've heard "Fire Mattingly!!" and "trade Puig!!!!!1" (lol). How about just making the bullpen good? #Dodgers

I think what she’s trying to say here is that Giants have no fun parts. Hey, I’m just delivering the message.
This Giants-Cardinals match-up is like the Niners-Cowboys of the 90s w/out Deion, Young, Irvin, Jimmie, etc. You know, the fun parts.

Somehow, this hashtag didn’t get much traction on Twitter.
Remembering that one time he got a hit #AlbertoCallaspoAppreciationDay

I’ll bet he’d get a stadium built faster than their current mayor.
For the win!
