As Clean-Up Hitter, Fowler Misinterprets Baseball Jargon

Fowler went 2 for 4 with a run scored and a stolen base.

Spin:

If you give Dexter Fowler a duty, Dexter Fowler will expound upon that duty until he receives letters from teachers everywhere thanking him for exemplifying what it means to "go above and beyond." This commonly known aspect of Fowler's personality appeared to have gone unheeded by Rockies Manager Walt Weiss when he informed Fowler prior to Thursday afternoon's contest that Fowler would be "taking on the clean-up duties." Somehow taking this too literally, Fowler then proceeded to play the entire game with a garbage can strapped to his back. In between innings, Fowler would scurry through the stands, picking up as much refuse as his nimble hands could snatch while past clips of Double Dare obstacle courses were televised on the scoreboard. Postgame speculation on Fowler's inability to understand common baseball terminology and Weiss' exploitation of that grew when it was reported that Marc Summers is Walt Weiss' ultimate celebrity crush.
