Royce Lewis knows it

[Patzky]

"Royce is fighting it right now, He knows the results are not where they need to be. And he admits it is weighing on him.'

Audra Martin talks to the Twins infielder about his performance and job security.

I think Royce wears his heart on his sleeve. I wish he had a little more filter. I suspect many, if not most, players have similar feelings but keep it to themselves.  Many of the things he says can be interpreted in many ways. He comes off as arrogant, selfish, candid, and a whole bunch of other characteristics.

Professional athletes receive a fair amount of public relations training these days. The world is watching and so how a person handles social media, interviews, and their general public appearances can be a bit much for a young person. While I was successful in my mid 20s I never had people watching my social life and constantly asking me questions. Royce Lewis has led a charmed life and now it seems to be flaking a little bit. He seems to like to talk, so Audra interviews him about his struggles and thoughts, which may be normal to athletes but most will just give canned answers. Lewis doesn't exactly sound poised. Kent Hrbek said that every punk in camp wanted his job and left it at that without elaboration of any real substance. Royce should probably reduce the noise in his world to focus on his job. However, each fellow is different.

Perhaps Royce Lewis should take a page from Connor Prielipp. For those of you who saw his post game interview you know what I mean. It was an instant classic. One word answers without any expression that ended with Prielipp answering "OK" when Audra said, "Well, you should go celebrate with your teammates."
