Terry Francona Answers Fan Questions With #TweetTito
One day after Indians closer John Axford answered fan questions with #AskAxford, the Indians made manager Terry Francona accessible with #TweetTito. Fans were given the opportunity to ask the Tribe’s skipper anything they wanted in hopes that he would open up and reveal some things about himself that we didn’t already know. The end result of #TweetTito was close to two hours of Q&A with well over a hundred Tweets in response from Francona.
The #TweetTito campaign got under way with the following Tweet from the @Indians Twitter account. As you can see, Terry Francona was super excited to get the party started.
He's here and ready for questions! #TweetTito #TribeFest pic.twitter.com/73mgrxMPW3

From that point is was all Q&A magic. Here are some of the best and most interesting responses that Francona provided.
.@brewdevil81 no and it needs them desperately as I found out the hard way, as I slid down Prospect. -Tito

.@nvrgivin723 it's impossible to estimate but it's gotten to the point that someone actually unwraps it for me it's so much. -Tito

.@RowdyTribe some bench guys at bats decided by health of regulars but we also try to get guys like him consistent at bats. -Tito

.@Cbarron50 Jason Giambi's walk off homerun. It's hard not to. -Tito

.@kstack22 every teams goes as far as their pitching will take them. When you think you have enough pitching, get more. -Tito

.@footwedge15 fortunately, I don't understand it enough and my hard decisions are on the field not in the front office. -Tito

.@jake_ray3 more important than numbers indicate. Seasons are defined by how teams handle frustration. -Tito

.@DoubleSGWin hard to put into 140 characters but the more versatility we have, the better. -Tito

.@JimThomeStatue prospects like Lindor will dictate their own timetable. -Tito

.@EdTheRevelator the more bullpen members, the better. We will use closer at home in tie games, not on the road. -Tito

.@KOtribefan13 I'm glad Prince is gone, I wish Kinsler wasn't there, along with Nathan. -Tito

.@aben1088 The new Minneapolis ballpark is gorgeous. -Tito

.@ohhlala_Erika I think Cabby will come in with a lot to prove and be in great shape. And be the player everyone has come to expect to see.

.@amandak06 100! -Tito

And then finally, once the day was finally through and Tito had answered all the questions he could possibly stand to answer with #TweetTito, he left the ball park in style. Or rather, with as much style as a man on a scooter in 20 degree weather with a blizzard can possibly have. Don’t believe me? The Indians provided photographic evidence of Terry Francona’s overwhelming awesomeness.
Tito is headed south for the rest of winter. See you in Goodyear, Skipper! pic.twitter.com/BxC4faOY7B
