Alright, we’ll say it: Phil Hughes is better at tweeting than he was at pitching.
(That’s not necessarily a dig at his pitching resumé, which is solid; rather, it speaks to how great of a Twitter follow Hughes is.)
Hughes late Monday retweeted a clip from an “MLB: The Show” Players League matchup between Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Blake Snell and Baltimore Orioles outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. The video featured Snell, using the Rays, hitting a home run over the left field fence at virtual Tropicana Field. However, there was something off about the clip, which Hughes used as an opportunity to execute a masterful troll job.

Thoughts and prayers to Rays fans.
