    I mean, Baldelli can be and should be faulted for many things but Miranda’s health isn’t one of them. That’s a very long reach, at best. And I pretty agree with what chpettit said above. I think Miranda was already a lock but it’s the others battling for two spots. If I had to choose today, I don’t know if I could. I’d probably take Lee and Kiersey… but that could change depending on the rest of ST

    Good summation. That and Chief’s comment way back in the beginning … if we trade Vázquez then the forum topic becomes ‘The Twins need a catcher’
  3. Squirrel
    When you are talking about the 26th man, I think you want versatility. Plus Castro is a switch hitter. Now, if you want to add Kiersey instead of Julien, leaving Castro at 2nd, I’m not opposed.
  4. Squirrel
    I’m just not convinced. I was always holding my breath with him. And his spring hasn’t been great but it’s spring. And with others out and given his season last year, they take him north. But I’m still not convinced he’s not more than AAAA depth
  5. Squirrel
    I think that’s what it was going to be anyway
  6. Squirrel
    This spring neither has been that great. I could see Sands, maybe, but I think Tonkin is done
  7. Squirrel
    I question both Tonkin and Sands making the roster. Hope neither do. And I don’t think Julien or Lee are locks, either. One of those two, maybe. Otherwise I don’t think any of the rest will be a surprise.
  8. Squirrel
    That would be Castro, the super utility.

    Festa gave up 5 runs. McCaughan gave up 4. Festa hasn’t had a great spring so far, so I’m thinking he’s not getting a roster spot. And McCaughan was signed to a minor league contract, let’s hope he stays there or is let go.

    Nice to see the bats are warming up … in both games
  11. Squirrel
    And I like Larnach hitting … he’s having a good spring. Good for him and good for us
  12. Squirrel
    Good to see Julien with a pair of hits so far today. No score in the 2nd of the game v Atlanta
  13. Squirrel
    Nope. Wrong. Just wrong. When a cap is suggested, the players ask to see the books, ask for transparency, and the owners say no. They say no to a floor, too. There are two sides, and BOTH owners and players have to come to the table willingly on this and neither side does. And I don’t believe it’s good for the game to revert poor conditions because that’s what will happen.

    Ack … and we play them tomorrow … keep the sickies home!
  15. Squirrel
    So long as they ‘keep it over there’ and our guys aren’t mingling with theirs
  16. Squirrel
    It’s always good, not just suddenly. What’s the saying … you can never have too much pitching … this is why
  17. Squirrel
    Basically, you can get as many as you want as long as you are right. Two wrongs, and no more challenges
  18. Squirrel
    Such as?
  19. Squirrel
    I’m sure more than a few pitchers will be a bit … frustrated? … to not get the calls they used to. That could go against us, too, but glad this time it went against Cole.
  20. Squirrel
    I know it’s early, and this is what ST is about. But he’s the slugger on the team and started this same way last spring, and finally had to be sent down. If he’s having these same difficulties late in the spring, I don’t want a repeat of last year. There needs to be a sooner pull if he’s just flailing. But glad he finally pulled through … as I also posted above.
  21. Squirrel
    When she sees ‘stuff happening’ she’ll unmute to catch some of the sounds
  22. Squirrel
    One comment on the Yankees broadcast was interesting. I’d like to see the data who is more right/more wrong with this system … the pitchers, the batters, the catchers. My bet is the catchers. They do have the best vantage point, imo.
  23. Squirrel
    Finally … Wallner doing damage … and against Garrett Cole and the Yankees
  24. Squirrel
    My mom just mutes the TV. She says she can just watch and knows well enough what’s happening without sound.
  25. Squirrel
    Wallner worries me. Hope he can get it going, and soon. He has way too much potential (there’s that word again). At this point, I’m not sure what to say other than maybe leave Wallner behind in St. Paul? But I like really how Larnach is doing and progressing. Glad to see Ryan finally getting a start. Has Jax pitched at all this Spring? I don’t think I’ve seen him yet.
