    Woohoo!!! It's Ryan time! :) 

  2. Squirrel
    Yay!!!!! Guess it's NOT a service time issue! /s
  3. Squirrel
    Jax, Ober and Gant are already scheduled for the next three starts. Saying 'Ryan has pitched better' in one start isn't really saying much. I would love to see Ryan up and it was my 'prediction' he'd be up in the next home stand. However ... Strotman is already on the 40-man and Ryan is scheduled to pitch tomorrow. Don't recall when Strotman last pitched or when scheduled, but my guess he would be the next called up. Then again ... is there someone else on the 40-man that they could call up to pitch one game?

    That's what I was going to add as I went through and read posts. That seems a no brainer. And no way Austin Martin gets a call up in September, no way. Not sure why he would even be on this list. They aren't going to add him to the 40-man when he doesn't need to be added this year. That would be foolish. If he's in AAA next year doing well, maybe he'll get a September call up in 2022.
  5. Squirrel
    I just really can't see him not getting a start or two with the Twins. While I truly don't have a clue when it comes to these decisions, not having him pitch this year in Minneapolis would really baffle me
  6. Squirrel
    I would think injuries being more prevalent might give him an opportunity (meaning someone else goes on the IL), or are you saying they will be more cautious with him because of possible injuries to him? (Was he pitching last year at the Rays' alternate site? I don't recall what has been said about him.) But, with the minor leagues going through September, don't you think he might get a look in the majors?
  7. Squirrel
    The minor league season now goes through September. Unless you think we'll make the playoffs (hahahaha), there won't be a month added to the time he would have spent pitching. I'd like to see him up to get that taste, even if he isn't up the whole time.
  8. Squirrel
    I hardly doubt they don't have a clue. I think this kind of rhetoric is just ridiculous. With all the injuries and illnesses this team has had this year, it's been more juggling of the roster and players than usual. And at this point, they are trying out a lot of the fringe players to evaluate before jettisoning, because that's what you do in a lost season. We have seen a lot of rookies this year, even if not the ones or the many we want. Because it's not always what we like or want to see doesn't mean they don't have a clue. They know better than us, even with the seeming mistakes or actual mistakes they make. But I agree, I haven't a clue what they will do, either.
  9. Squirrel
    When do you think we'll see Ryan pitch for the Twins? Our next home stand? September? or next season? (I actually started a poll on this earlier in the week.)
  10. Squirrel
    Yikes ... good luck with your recovery!
  11. Squirrel
    Not only did he make it to 6 innings ... but he pitched through errors that cost runs ... and still held his cool. Other pitchers might let that get to them. I was impressed with his overall performance last night, but especially the composure.
  12. Squirrel

    That. Was. ****ING. AWESOME!!!!!!

  13. Squirrel

    3 of 4 from the Astros, 2 of 3 from the ChiSox, 2 of 3 from the Rays ... this is the season I thought we'd have this year

  14. Squirrel
    Loved Kepler's hustle and diving slide into 3rd and his expression of passion after getting up!
  15. Squirrel
    Just a quibble, but not sure the White Sox were discounted, either. I think some writers ranked them 1st in the division prior to the season
  16. Squirrel
    This is actually an incorrect conclusion, not borne out in the research data.

    As a moderator on this site, please keep your comments to Simmons. This is not the same situation. One didn't affect the health and welfare of others and the same one was blackballed from working again. This is not at all the same thing and is a false equivalence. And we are not going down that rabbit hole. If you want to discuss Kaepernick's situation, go to the Current Affairs club and start a thread. Thanks.

    We do have a discussion thread on the Coronavirus if you want to get more in depth about that particular discussion, found in the Current Affairs club.
  20. Squirrel
    So, Simmons has a right to his opinion, but Stu does not?
  21. Squirrel
    His anti-vaccine stances were well-known prior to his contracting it and spreading it to his teammates. A lot of ifs in that, however, it's a decision between him and his doctor, and not one to be peddled on the internet
  22. Squirrel
    I think the gist is if he were Steve Carlton great, then people would put up with it, it's not about believing him more
  23. Squirrel
    Perhaps this was stated in one of the previous articles, but I was wondering how these rankings were done? How many of you weighed in on this?
  24. Squirrel
    Thanks for sharing! I grew up in Winona ... Trempealeau isn't far from there ... we used to drive to the Trempealeau Hotel for dinner on occasion for some of their famous walnut balls!
  25. Squirrel

    I love that we took 2 of 3 from the ChiSox ... even more so when they outscored us ... mwahahahaha

      Yeah, we can pretend that Burrows game never happened!

      Also, I have a notification that I am now being followed by a squirrel. What, am I carrying nuts on me or something? ?
