The Minor Leaguers are literally and figuratively getting into the swing of things at Spring Training. But don’t worry, fans, they still have time to post on social media.

Yes, it’s Spring Training for everyone, even the wifi.

terrible wifi in the hotel, entire organization morale is low due to lack of fortnite

This offseason, pitcher Tim Dillard changed organizations for the first time in his career. After 16 seasons with the Brewers, the reliever is now a Ranger. And let me tell ya, the change of scenery is really doing numbers for his Twitter engagements. It’s like everyone is rediscovering the filmmaker that is Timothy Charles Dillard.

Chris Singleton is becoming a silver screen star, himself, as his wedding to Mariana De Andrade took place on the aptly named Lifetime show, “My Great Live Wedding.”

To my wife and to my son, I PROMISE... - I promise to always protect and provide for you. I promise to never let the bad times outweigh the good. Most of all I promise to always love and cherish you both unconditionally. - #CantLetMomsDown

@SBCubs @csingleton__2 Congrats to @csingleton__2 and Mariana De Andrade on tying the knot, and thanks to @CEdwardsSBS for surprising the newlyweds!

In other big Cubs prospect news, Ethan Roberts had a baby.

Congratulations to one of the 2018 Emeralds, Ethan & Hopelyn Roberts on the birth of their beautiful baby boy, Bryson Roberts � We hope you all are well and hopefully we get to meet the future Emerald some day!

Ya know that gender reveal trend going on? Well, free agent Tyler Watson just dropped the mic on the whole thing. Somebody sign the man!

We faked out everyone during our gender reveal. I cannot stop watching this. Only in Texas do you here "where's my pistol?!" https://t.co/1NZKLN7Iya

Shane Baz is enjoying his own form of fatherhood. The cutoff caption reads:

“I wonder what my dog named me #fatherandson”

More MiLB dogs pls

When you have the only dog at the dog park that lays in the water station instead of drinking at the water station. �

I think we should all take a moment to appreciate the musical stylings of Norah Jones, whose mellow hits rocked us to sleep in the early 2000s. And apparently she also makes for good cooking music?

Throwing some ingredients into the crockpot while Norah Jones serenades my soul at The Pool House. I literally love this life #salsaverdeburritobowls #lowandslow

Maurico Dubon also appears to love his life. And who couldn’t when you’re with a loved one at the Happiest Place on Earth?

Dubon is getting anxious for the next Marvel movie though.

Can you plz just come out @Avengers !!!

— @Mauriciodubon10

HOLY CAPTAIN MARVEL!!!!! ENDGAME PLEASE HURRY UP!!!!!!!!

And now it’s time for…

Tebow is currently enjoying Mets big league camp.

Tebow is also excited about the LeBron James-produced competition show he is hosting.

Get pumped! A BIG announcement is coming later today. � @milliondollar

— @TimTebow

But as Friend of the Site Tim Healey points out, there is something suspicious about the timing of Tebow’s tweet.

@TimTebow @MillionDollar Tim ur in left field right now how did you tweet

— @timbhealey

Curious. Very curious.

And if you’re still curious about that announcement he mentioned…

MillionDollarMile March 27th! https://t.co/iTAIUNwHKm

Fellow UF Gator and Mets prospect Peter Alonso is now the Prospect Formerly Known as Peter Alonso. Yes, the first baseman made the change to Pete. And it’s going well so far. In his first at-bat post-R removal, Alonso homered, and also became a model?

Here's my best blue steel impression #Zoolander

— @Pete_Alonso20

Tebow is a Florida alum, whereas Alonso is a Florida product. It’s a small semantic difference, but D-backs prospect Andy Young is here for it. Pirates prospect Hunter Owen is not here for his trolling.

The Boys in Blue are back baby! Best of luck to @IndStBaseball today and for the rest of the year! #isualum https://t.co/jiAWyWjs7k

@Hunter_Owen11 @IndStBaseball Don't you have to graduate to be considered alumni...?

@AndyjYoung15 @IndStBaseball A piece of paper doesn't define me.

Brent Rooker had his own Twitter debate when he shared his picks for worst characters of “The Office.”

Here is a completely accurate and indisputable list of the five worst characters in The Office presented in no particular order. - Gabe Lewis - Jim's brother #1 - Charles Miner - Todd Packer - Jim's brother #2

— @Brent_Rooker19

Okay Robert California is getting a lot of heat here. Minute for minute, he's the funniest character in the show. Guy is electric. https://t.co/Okk0IIlPWd

— @Brent_Rooker19

After review, the only possible omission I will accept is Cathy. Deangelo Vickers is bad but not worthy of top 5, I genuinely like both Erin and Nellie, and Robert California is the best character in the show. https://t.co/Okk0IIlPWd

— @Brent_Rooker19

Cathy (tried to get with a married Jim) and Charles Minor (temporary CEO who didn’t like Jim or Michael) are the worst for me. And tbh, it’s taken me a while to like Idris Elba because of his seven episodes as Charles.

Solid list, Erin needs to be on it though. https://t.co/PCR4grQtS3

Gonzaga alum Brandon Bailey (#callback) must have made a bet with Southern Miss product Chuckie Robinson when their schools played each other.

@Crob_20 So when are you taking me to Chipotle? �� https://t.co/lDhrxJgovi

— @BBailey_19

Honestly, the real winner is friendship. And Chipotle.

@BBailey_19 Lol I gotchu
