Let the Twins pitching staff show you how fun bunting can be

Twins pitchers show you how fun bunting can be

You know what are awesome? Bunts. You know what else are awesome? Pitchers' at-bats. You know how to truly make someone's day? Combine the two.

The Twins pitching contingent had a bit of bunting practice Tuesday, and nothing has ever looked more fun. Though they play in the DH-ed American League, and will thus have fewer opportunities to take at-bats and bunts, Spring Training is a time when everything is possible. Even AL-pitcher bunts. Huzzah!

Luckily for us, Twins photographer Brace Hemmelgarn was there to capture the jubilation.

Alex Meyer laid 'em down like a true buntsman:

Aaron Thompson had an interesting lumberjack-hacking-down-a-tree approach:
