1. Tom Ace -- Mark Canha
On social media, Canha is known as @outtadaparkmark or @bigleaguefoodie, both of which are fantastic. They don't even compare to Tom Ace.
Well all righty then, Mark.
Oakland Athletics
2. Capt. Barrel -- Jed Lowrie
Talk that talk, Jed. Lowrie made his first All-Star Game this season and has hit a career-high 17 home runs. The second baseman is hitting just .156 in the second half compared to .285 in the first half, but he still has a hard-contact rate of 40.3 percent this year, which is 0.1 percent off his career high.
Even if Lowrie continues to struggle, Capt. Barrel is such a Get On My Level move.
3. PTBNL -- Josh Phegley
Who cares if Phegley has only played in 19 games this season, he clearly has a great sense of humor. The acronym stands for Player To Be Named Later, or what the A's knew him as when they acquired him from the White Sox in 2014.
