Mood: 😀 Happy

Music: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton - Can't Hold Us

I just got off the phone with Brian. He called from the clubhouse to tell me he had another big game and is still “Jacking bombs all over” and is really on a roll now. It was great to hear him excited about baseball again and hear the guys getting rowdy in the background after a big W. Sometimes Brian acts like baseball is just a thing you do to help you get girls lol. I know deep down he’s got a the same Passion I do for the Game but he just needs to show it more often.

I told him I wished I could be there celebrating the big wins with the guys and he said “Look Vreezy you just gotta do you and you’re gonna be up here real soon I promise.” It makes me feel great knowing that he’s got my back again, I was concerned for a while when we were both distracted by the whole C*ss*ndr* thing that our friendship was in real trouble. (And for the record I knew what was going on between them even though I didn’t want to admit it to myself but it was actually like so obvious and I may seem Naïve at times but I am not that Naïve but it's water under the bridge now.)

I think that Brian playing great and the Team winning games will be very good for my progress because I don’t have to feel as responsible for getting back up ASAP and getting them to the Playoffs. I had a good conversation with Coach Glynn about my progress, and I explained that I was Motivated to get back on the Twins because the guys are counting on me. He said “Whoa whoa whoa slow down son” and told me I was putting way too much pressure on myself and I guess he may have been right. He's a really wise Coach. I think that too much Pressure has been the cause of my latest setbacks and if I can just get over the hump I can really take off. I really just need to focus on my Pitching and not on the Playoffs for right now. I will let Brian worry about that for me and it looks like he is doing a good job right now lol :-D.

Yep things are looking up right now with my best friend back and a new outlook on my Assignment and the Twins taking care of business in Minesota, but as we know in life in the Pros you never know what’s coming up around the bend so you always have to be prepared for new surprises! But right now at this moment I feel like I can take on the world and I am ready for anything Life throws at me. Because I will be up there on the mound throwing a little heat myself!

See you in the Majors,
