    So, you advocate hoping for injury to get AK up here now? I know that’s not exactly what you are saying, but I don’t think finding room is really that difficult, without injury, and shouldn’t be. However, barring injury, he’s not going to be recalled until the 10 days runs out. (May 9, 10?) Given that, I think Farmer will be up first. They need to send Miranda down for a reset. And when AK is ready, they need to send down Larnach. Those are the choices and they are not difficult, imo.

    Since AK was recently optioned, they can’t recall him for 10 days, unless there is an injury. So, if anyone wants him up right now, the only way that happens is through injury. I’m not wishing for that, but I do hope that on May 10 he is activated, for anyone. There are choices that are not difficult to make. For Larnach makes the most sense, but I also like IT’s suggestion of Miranda, provided Farmer is already up. But I think, barring injury, Farmer returns first.

    BOTH teams had to play in 30-degree weather, not just one; and BOTH teams will play in warm weather. Not sure why the weather is only a consideration for how poorly the Astros did and why you are certain the nicer weather won't benefit us? My philosophy is ... don't count your dead chickens until they are hatched. All teams go through ups and downs during a long season. While I don't think the Twins are a great team, neither do I think they suck, as what many here imply. I think they are modestly good, maybe just decent ... but players HAVE TO PERFORM. It's up to them at this point. The potential is there, but they need to execute ... and for me, that is not a fault of anyone but them. The BP, however, I think is on the FO. And that's not saying I think Rocco is without fault, I just think results are in the hands of the players 95% of the time.

    It's a process ... lol

    Many here have had concerns about the BP from the beginning. Happy, maybe even hopeful, for some of the early success, but, when you do little in the off-season on an obvious weakness, and say you are doing nothing, well, some here, including myself, have had concerns. Keeping my fingers crossed, because of course I want a good outcome, but ...

    People often ask 'Why keep watching this?' Well, it's a choice to watch or not, so if you don't like it, don't waste your time. But my real answer is that because on any given day your chances of seeing something you haven't before is pretty high. Also, on any given day, the best player/team can be the worst, and the worst can be the best. As you said, bad teams do win some games against someone and good teams do lose against someone. It's how the cookie crumbles. I just accept the wins and losses as they come because in the end, no one died and it really matters not much in the whole grand scheme because it's just a game. Doesn't mean I don't want to win them all and it doesn't mean I don't hate losing to the White Sox, I just have my own perspective on things.
  8. Squirrel
    Yes. It’s how the cookie crumbles, and yes, it’s frustrating, but so it goes,

    MOD NOTE: Stop referring to one another as apologists or haters. That is a non-starter here. Respectfully disagree and rebut one another's posts, but when you start to qualify the characters of the posters to make your point, you will be gone from the site.

    Don’t like losing to teams like this. I know it happens but … just shouldn’t happen. The bats and the BP. While I do believe the team is much improved over last year, this just isn’t good. Players need to come through
  13. Squirrel
    What?

    What?
  15. Squirrel
    Chief must be giving you lessons
  16. Squirrel
    No, I won’t. Knock it off. You are walking a fine line.
  17. Squirrel
    Same as the predictability of comments like this from you
  18. Squirrel
    How soon before Farmer is ready and activated?
  19. Squirrel
    Until Chief gets here. I'm sure he will find a nit or two to pick. 😉
  20. Squirrel
    Did you mean to put this here?
  21. Squirrel
    Why? Group of guys having fun in the clubhouse. Seems the piñatas are a thing in the Padres clubhouse as I've seen clips with others, but this was the one in their city connect uniforms.
  22. Squirrel
    No surprise whatsoever.
  23. Squirrel
    They've held other things there.
