Archie Bradley Says Fan "Better" Get Tattoo of His Face

After a fan said he'd get a tattoo of Bradley's face in exchange for a run, the Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher hit a scorching triple and drove in two runs. So, two tats?

Most tweets come from your grundle—the space between your sewage line and your bravado. (See: president.) So it's pretty jarring when someone actually calls you out for things you wouldn't even write on a truck stop bathroom wall. Not to mention when that someone is a professional athlete asking you to get their face tattooed on your back, like you promised.

Some poor guy by the name of Jeff Buss was doing just that: rattling off whatever was in the gutters of his mind, assuming he had a safe bet against Archie Bradley. Archie Bradley is a pitcher. How on Earth could he possibly plate a run in a big game like an AL Wild Card playoff? More important: how could Archie Bradley ever discover that Jeff Buss—a Diamondbacks fan living in Nebraska, apparently—tweeted this?

Just note the time stamp. Bradley is hunting down motherfuckers online at 1:32 in the morning (Phoenix time) after the Dbacks' 11-8 win over the Rockies, making sure they get his face tatted on their back. That is one pumped-up duderino right there.

The only question now is: since Bradley plated two runs, does that mean Jeff has to get two tattoos of Bradley's face? Maybe Bradley's face and body? What about a face tattoo of Bradley's face? Either way, it seems like Bradley is available on Twitter to stake out the terms.
