    I like when you ask what they like to do in their free time. in this interview, I liked hearing about being shut down this season with his shoulder and how he heard weekly from various Twins personnel to discuss his progress and how informed he was what they were doing with him and why, for the longevity of his career and how much he seemed to appreciate how invested they were in him, I liked hearing that he finished his degree. im not sure what else I’d want to know as you are pretty thorough on these. Maybe ask, ‘If you weren’t doing baseball what would you pursue career wise?’

    Heh, in my line of work, I more or less give the same advice. I work in a very specific field that is hard to get into and up the ladder, so when I speak to college students I tell them to get experience any way they can, even if they have to create it themselves. I also tell them what courses to take that would be specifically beneficial.

    Another great spotlight episode … and no mute issues! ?

    The first H2H debate is now live ... opening statements tonight, Poster A will submit a rebuttal post tomorrow, Poster B on Tuesday, Poster A again on Wednesday, Poster B on Thursday; then both will give a closing statement on Friday. Each of the posts will go live (approx) the same time each evening ... then on Saturday, we will open the debate up for voting. Hoping to get the next one started next week ... so ... if you are so inclined ... we await your PM saying you want a go at it

    If you can only watch one Twins Spotlight, watch Seth talk to Simeon Woods Richardson. That kid is AWESOME! He has all the makings of being my new favorite player! So enthusiastic about the game, about life, about the people around him ... big personality, in the best way

  8. Squirrel
    Seth ... again with the mute? Are you doing that on purpose now as your 'schtick'? Wow ... what a great kid! So fun, enthusiastic, he's going to be a great team guy. And the personality to be my favorite player when he makes it.
  9. Squirrel
    Seth ... don't forget to unmute tonight ...
  10. Squirrel
    That was really funny

    Lol ... 'Jack Morris everyone, we'll be back with Martha Stewart ..'

    I've been suggesting this for a couple years now. I think trading Arraez makes the most sense, both in making room for Miranda and for potential return value. But, like what mikelink45 said above, it depends on the return.
  13. Squirrel
    Wow. He’s lucky that didn’t break his jaw. Glad he’s ok except for a few stitches

    As always, these things are among my favorite offerings at TD. Love hearing from these kids.

    I ❤️ Eddie, always will, and will always cheer him on. But I will still have a difficult time cheering on the Braves

    An uneventful Twins news week ...
  17. Squirrel
    No ... no one is plainly wrong. We have opinions that don't align. That's why we discuss. This isn't, and never has been, about being right. You feel as passionate about your opinion 'being right' as others do. You have made some valid points and arguments, as has chpettit. Both have given the community a lot to think about. But you don't agree. At this point I think the two of you are talking past one another and going in circles, and I think it's time to agree to disagree and walk away. This isn't a fight to the death that there is one ultimate winner.

    If you reread what I wrote, I said that trading him now, this off-season, would be short-sighted ... not not trading him ever. Miranda will get his opportunities next season, either as a back up on the roster or a call up. If all goes well and he proves himself ready to take over as the starting 3rd baseman, then you trade Donaldson. But not now.
  19. Squirrel
    This isn’t an either/or between Donaldson or Buxton, or anyone else for that matter, in regards to salary resources. Having Donaldson on the team does not preclude that we then can’t sign Buxton and a SS and top of the rotation pitcher, imo. Further, we would still likely have to pay a LOT of his salary in a trade or get less of a player return, neither which makes it worth trading him. And trading Donaldson now immediately worsens the team for next year, both defensively and offensively. I agree Miranda has nothing left to prove in AAA, and wish he’d been given some playing time in the majors this year, but we need to see Miranda adjust to the bigs, both offensively and defensively, before we jettison that strength we have by having Donaldson on the team. Get Miranda playing time with the Twins next year and see what we have. Just because he did well in AAA does not mean an immediately successful player in the majors. How many times have we seen that … someone good in the minors not be all that in the majors? A LOT. The best is to keep Donaldson for now, and rotate Miranda in next year and if he looks competent, THEN look to trade Donaldson. Donaldson holds a lot of value to the Twins next year, imo, and trading him now would be horribly short-sighted.

    So, who’s left to cheer on now? The Giants, maybe? I’m pretty much done now.

  21. Squirrel

    I find it disappointing that Maggi didn't get any actual playing time. There are many more who never even get called up. Where are the crocodile tears for them? Some are being so extremely over-emotional and just plain silly about this. It's disappointing. That's it. 

  22. Squirrel
    Yes, yes and more yes! Thanks, sconnie
  23. Squirrel
    I think it's a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation. But man, I'm on the side of 'Get. Him. Signed!'
  24. Squirrel
    This is called trolling. If you have reasons for the A+, then let's hear it, otherwise ... not a good look, detracts from the topic and actually demeans what you might really think
  25. Squirrel
    It was ... scary-ish ... for the first half of the episodes, then not. It just didn't have anything new and became predictable. If I can get through it, it's not really that bad in terms of scare.
