I knew Ruiz a little bit a bunch of years ago. He’s very friendly. And I can tell you, guys in the locker room generally like him and cheer for the guy. He knows how to be one of the fellas, you know? … So when he screws up, they tend to cut him some slack. It’s almost like they see him like you see your screw-up little brother. “Yeah, he’s a screw-up, but he’s a good kid.” That kind of thing. Being likable inside the locker room goes a long way. … All that said, Olsen won’t put up with a bit of it.

“Ruiz has always been a likeable sort.”

This may be the first time I have ever seen that said about Dirty Diving Ruiz. I am not sure his mother could read that line with a straight face.
Otherwise, good piece ;-)

Apparently. According to Twitter, I set the O/U on months WAY too high. People are jumping on the “Under” and wishing upon stars that they could actually bet on it. In Vegas, they call it a “soft line.” Good thing I don’t make my living as an odds maker!

Any chance he reaches double figures?
