Ozzie on his way back to being my favorite Twin.  Quirky like Gomez, but misunderstood.  Often criticized for, imo, struggles caused by trying too hard.  Taking losses too hard, blaming himself for the team's losses.  But I remember him energizing the whole team two years ago during the longest hottest part of summer (before he hurt his knee when Plouffe whiffed on a bunt and hung him out to dry).  A lot of people thought he was a selfish player, but I saw him celebrate as much for getting an opposite field single as a big home run.  He's trying to develop as a player, but he's young and emotional, and takes his failures very hard.  His interview with Marney was all about adjusting to the moment, to the pitcher, shortening up and applying his practice to the game.  Fun finish.

 

I'm always a fan of any attempt to humanize players. 

 

I get bothered when some reduce them to a pile of numbers.

Any chance Ryan and Molitor are having a Brad Pitt/Phillip Seymour Hoffman moment.

 

I'm not trying to plant any seeds... I really have no idea. But... When things are not going well... things can get contentious.

 

I'm just trying to make sense of everything that has happened in the past few hours and some things are not adding up.

 

Yup, I think it's possible, and if so I suspect it's why Ryan didn't give Molitor Murphy. Molitor would have been tempted to play him every day.

 

Hypothetically possible of course. If you're into hypotheticals.

We were pretty darn close to knocking off Strasburg and Salazar back to back.  And we miss Kluber so let's get start winning some series!

Arcia looks like he should be a back up dancer for milli vanilli

 

It might just be me but Arcia reminds me a little of Jose Canseco...They seem to share some of the same mannerisms.
