D-backs' Collmenter and his bobblehead read 'mean tweets'
Josh Collmenter this weekend will get his very own bobblehead. To promote the occasion Collmenter and his bobblehead read a few "mean tweets" about themselves (himself) which the Diamondbacks posted to Twitter. A couple of the tweets hilariously ridicule his beard and one gives a backhanded compliment to his 84 mph fastball.

This is not the first time that the pitcher has engaged in hilarious antics. During spring training, former teammate Trevor Cahill stood behind him to give him an extra pair of arms as Collmenter gave a straight-faced interview.
Collmenter also was the prize in an Australian blind date contest, visited the set of "The Wizard of Oz" in ruby red Nikes to try on costumes and interview Toto, went "undercover" at Phoenix Comicon and took long-range target practice with former teammate Wade Miley. In past seasons, Collmenter was the ringleader of rookie excursions to the Arizona Renaissance Festival.
