It’s widely known that the Texas Rangers stink in terms of baseball (they’re 38-57). Turns out, they stink in other ways too.

In a radio interview with KRLD-FM 105.3, pitcher Derek Holland was asked about the smelly bullpen games his team plays. This was his response:

Basically, there are two games. One is called pink eye. That is when you just fart in somebody’s face and they can’t flinch. If they move, there is a penalty for it. This all came from Mark Lowe. ‘Fart Bottle Roulette’ is when you get a bunch of little water bottles, fart into one of them, put them in a bag, shuffle it, and than watch everybody’s reaction. Everybody opens a bottle one by one and it’s the most nerve-wracking thing every because you really don’t want that bottle.”

I love baseball. And can we please get a TV camera just focused on the bullpen?
