Fowler Tells Bochy He's Saving Hits For All-Star Game

On Friday night, Fowler went 0 for 3 with a walk against Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants.

Spin:  

Current San Francisco Giants manager and 2013 All-Star Game manager, Bruce Bochy, was awarded an abeyance on Friday night as Fowler informed him prior to the game that he was going to "save my hits for the ASS game." Bochy, unfamiliar with what the hell an ASS game is, asked Fowler, "What the hell's an ASS game?"  "All-Star & Stud game," Fowler rejoined. At this, Bochy promptly took notice that though Fowler did do as he promised - not get a hit - he still stealthily maneuvered a way for his team to win by working the highest pitch count in the game. This allowed other Rockies hitters to take advantage of a worn Lincecum and Fowler's drone-like sniper ability to pierce a pitcher without ever having been seen at all. But Bruce Bochy saw. And what he saw was a Star and a Stud, cloaked in Stealth.

The 2013 All-Star Game has now officially been renamed the All-Star & Stud in Stealth - or ASSS - game to more accurately reflect Fowler's inevitable presence at it come July.
