In today's notes article from Mike Berardino, the lead story is the stomach of Ryan O'Rourke. Earlier in the morning, Twins Director of Communications was posting some obscure facts about a variety of Twins players. It included the following:

 

 

Berardino asked the left-hander about it...  It's true, and it goes back to even his college days and the minor leagues.

 

 

As a starter in the minors, O’Rourke said it became a running gag for the grounds crew to wait at the trash can with a new bag “right before I went out there.”

 

Also in the article, there are some more notes including notes on the "crossfire" of Justin Haley, and bullpen information/updates on Glen Perkins and Mason Melotakis.

Wow ... every time??? That seems to be a fairly extreme reaction.

This story might hurt the market for his game used jerseys.

[GP830]

Wow. What a weird thing.

[GP830]

Also, a weird thing for the Director Of Communications to share?

[Brandon Warne]

Probably asked each player what they wanted to share. 

[GP830]

Yeah, you're probably right.

By the looks of that photo, it looks like it's still all in his mouth

Didn't Jose Mijares do something similar once?  Trying to remember.

A number of my high school teammates used to vomit when the coach put me in to pitch.

[Teflon]

O'Rourke gives double meaning to being a Twins hurler.

[Sasquatch]

I don't know what's worse, knowing this fact about O'Rourke or the puns that have followed...

That's what I was going to say...

[theBOMisthebomb]

This information makes me sick to my stomach.  

[diehardtwinsfan]

I'd hate to think about what that does to the lining of his esophagus. 

[GCTF]

Coincidentally,  I puke every time I watch him pitch.

[Guest]

Better than Rick Ankiel.

[USAFChief]

It took 18 hrs for this response?

 

I'm disappointed in the TD community.

Wonder if his agent is trying to line him up with a mouthwash endorsement.

One of the rare times where a pitcher covering his mouth with his glove during a mound visit is a courteous gesture. Nobody wants to smell vomit breath.

Jose Mijares certainly didn't look like someone who purged regularly

Normally you type "Ish"

That wasn't an ish sort of thing, though ... some of the 'puns' following that were, however.

[Halsey Hall]

He's a hurler.
