Dan Haren was on fire today.
The former Cardinals 2nd round pick (2001 | RD 2 | 72nd overall) recently retired and decided it was time to speak on some truth via Twitter.

I would count out the days about a month in advance to see if I was gonna pitch in Coors field.

Upon further review, it doesn’t seem all that egregious. Then again, you do hear the field mic pick up someone in the Diamondbacks dugout say “what a trot, dude”.

He gets a pass.
Enjoy retirement, Dan. And keep that Twitter feed live.
