  1. No, although he’s got a lot of company. Now with Kiriloff the primary first baseman I expect to see Solano more in the play against lefties role he was basically supposed to fill. He likely won’t be around past the All Star break, as the kids get called up.
  2. I expect we might see Castro a couple of times per week.
  3. Maybe it affects the willingness of other people to participate? It doesn’t really need to be non-stop, and a competition to out-bitch the other posters.
  4. Farmer to be regular third baseman until Lewis is ready (or Miranda is ready for recall)?
  5. About half the active roster of the TD faithful is suspect too, so there is that symmetry.
  6. I’d probably want the 15 most entertaining to do it. That is, in the end, the point of professional sports. Think Leslie Nielsen in Naked Gun.
  7. More like the slippery slope fallacy, I think. Still, what I’m interested in is where people draw their line(s) and why. I do worry about the human element in the game (and a lot of other endeavors, too) fading in the quest to maximize efficiency at the expense of humanity.
  8. And when a pitching machine is made that has both command and control superior to human pitchers? And never needs Tommy John surgery? That shouldn't be so hard to do, it's just ballistics.
  9. You have me curious. Will the electronic umps also handle checked swings, foul tips, hbp, clock violations, and runners at the plate? If so, how, and if not, why not?
  10. Hard to say; let me brew a fresh pot of tea and examine the residuals. Before doing so, my best guess is that they can hold on to the division, but will have a tough time with the likes of the Rays come playoff time.
  11. Especially at St. Paul, if Miranda is there. It’ll be a tight squeeze pouring them into the same uniform. :)
  12. Apparently Farmer has one final dental procedure on Monday, and based on that it will be either Tuesday or Wednesday he’s activated.
  13. Works for me. Most likely playing 3rd base, I expect.
  14. Just to make the crunch crunchier with crunchberries, it sounds like Lewis begins his rehab stint in earnest at Wichita on Thursday, moving up to St. Paul afterwards, and then?
  15. Right, both Miranda and Larnach should be expected back. But, they both need to correct some things and get some swagger back.
  16. Shot of Miranda and Gordon talking; “Nick, what are the best places to eat in St. Paul?”
  17. Okay, I’d settle for some HRs now.
  18. All scored on sacrifice bunts. :D
  19. He was absolutely amazing back in the 1970’s. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/05/vida-blue-passes-away.html
  20. I wonder if the plan for Winder is to stretch back out as a starter in St. Paul as rotation depth behind SWR.
  21. Larnach will be back; he needs some time to sort things out and gain confidence. I can see the same for Miranda when Farmer is activated. As far as when everyone is up together? It’s likely there will be activity at the trade deadline, and it may take that long.
