August 19, 201313 yr yes Arcia was hurt. But I still appreciate the ant especially after all of these silly moves by the FO.
August 20, 201313 yr Author Arcia was on the bench with a DTD wrist injury per ESPN. Blast! Although, most good rants ignore any semblance of reality, so it's cool.
August 20, 201313 yr Nice article and congrats on going a year. Really like your sense of humor. Next time, I suggest a Venn diagram.
August 20, 201313 yr It's articles like this that tend to make me not come to Twins Daily for anything other than the minor league wrap-up.
August 20, 201313 yr On Clete Thomas: Remember him last year? Those same blooper hits were all strikeouts as he waved wildly at a slurve ball sailing two feet outside. I give Thomas credit for shortening up his swing and attempting to formulate some professional at-bats. That, and his occasional home run pop looks about the same, so the shorter swing and better plate discipline are all positives. Granted, he's not going to pull a Dozier and suddenly cure all his hitting ills, but Clete Thomas now looks like a serviceable fourth outfielder, and he no longer looks like the automatic out machine from years past. All hail the blooper single!
