    I won't play Chief either ... but I'll take on the two of you ... I at least know what beats what and how to keep track of cards and assess the odds ... sort of ... enough that I would take on you two but not Chief ?

    Well, my opportunity won’t come until the Twins are in Chicago the beginning of July … I think I can handle the cold weather then ?
  3. Squirrel
    Nice write up! It almost felt like I was there … except I was toasty warm, indoors and in another city and state ?

    TD does offer a subscription to those who want it … check this out here. You will see that ad free is in two of the choices

    Scotch will give you a false sense of warmth

    I love me some Rodgers and Hammerstein

    Duran won’t be used as a starter, at least not to start the year. They’ve been pretty clear that he will be used in the BP to work his innings up. But I do wonder, now, if Winder will be the odd man out and sent back to St Paul before he throws a pitch in the majors. Yes, he will eventually get his opportunity, but … maybe not this coming week

    Well ... I hope you have your life alert handy incase you fall over and can't get back up

    That's a one big ... oh HECK no!

      And now you've got to wait until Friday!

    Yeah, not sure ... Godoy's been DFA'd, not released, so, unless someone claims him (or has he already passed through waivers? @Otto von Ballpark), he will play somewhere in the system. If not at AAA, with Cisco (and who else is there?), then AA?
  12. Squirrel
    You mean now that they've added Coloumbe?
  13. Squirrel
    lol
  14. Squirrel
    And here we go ,,, more clarity …
  15. Squirrel
    So, does this signal that the Twins will carry 3 catchers, and Godoy won’t be in St. Paul? EDIT: Godoy was DFA’d today so … only 2 catchers heading north?
  16. Squirrel
    For those with a justifiable irrational fear of Cave … good news .,, at least to start the season …
  17. Squirrel
    Heh ... not really ... I still don't get the comparison other than there was disappointment involved, but we'll leave it at that and just say 'No' to 3 catchers
  18. Squirrel
    Okay ... first off ... Garcia? You mean Sanchez? Second off, it is not a comparable disappointment at all. You had a say and you had a choice, you didn't speak up. We literally have no say in what the Twins FO does and the roster choices they make. None. We can express our thoughts here, we can be disappointed, irate even, or shrug and say 'Out of my control so whatever' ... our choice is whether or not we choose to continue watching or following ... but we have absolutely no control over whether or not there will be 3 catchers on the team. Where you go to dinner, you have a say, you have a choice. It's just not the same. Maybe it's still disappointment, but you could have altered that outcome, so it's not comparable. And now we are off the beaten trail again. But, back to where this started ... I agree ... we don't need 3 catchers on the roster. Others have a different opinion on that assessment. But I'll sigh with resignation because it is what it is because I have absolutely no control over it.

    My point wasn’t clear but as I said, it’s a matter of perspective
  20. Squirrel
    Are you a stock broker?
  21. Squirrel
    I fixed it ... but someone else will just ignore that or find another workaround ... yes
  22. Squirrel
    That would be the most reliable.
  23. Squirrel
    What would be worse ... and you can't say 'yes' (or an equivalent of yes) as an answer ... but what would be worse: A season full of ifs that didn't pan out? -0R- A season NOT full of ifs that didn't pan out? Okay, I'm not saying it's better to have a lot of ifs, because it's not, but I think spoiled expectations is worse. Maybe. Losing regardless is worse, but, just trying on my 'a little perspective' glasses. Don't really like them, but, it might get me through the season.
  24. Squirrel
    So, you're saying that these things aren't as iffy as some think?
  25. Squirrel
    If Sanchez is being used as the primary DH, then I can sort of but not really but sort of if I squint, look the other way and say we've got 2 catchers and a DH. But, like you, I still don't like that plan. Sano will be DHing, Arraez will be DHing, Kirilloff could be DHing, others could DH when a break is needed on the field, so, Sanchez as the primary DH won't really be primarily a DH and then it's 3 catchers. I've never liked 3 catchers on a roster. It's a wasted space, imo. But ... I guess we will see. You know me ... none of these decisions are within my control, so while I have my thoughts on the matter, it will be what it will be. And I'll be watching baseball, win or lose. (Well, okay, if there is more of the latter, I will likely be watching less baseball.)
