  1. And this is what I thought was stated they were going to do ... use certain pitchers at certain points, based on matchups and in-game situations.
  2. I thought they tried also to extend Rosario but he turned it down? Did I confuse that with someone else?
  3. Since Thorpe was called up in Gibson’s spot, are they obligated to use him there?
  4. Yes. The record was at 7 for players with 20 or more home runs in a season. It was just a matter of time with Polanco sitting at 19 for so long. And if Gonzo can hit a few more, we could wind up with 9.
  5. Okay, well, duh. Yeah. I tripped over myself badly there. I just would really hate to see O'Rourke being the only one added. If they add and call up O'Rourke, I'd like to see at least one of Graterol or Alcala get that, too. But if it's O'Rourke instead of either one of them, ugh, I don't like that. But I'm not going to get my pitchfork out, either. Life goes on.
  6. This is what I want to happen ... Graterol and/or Alcala. I'm okay if they feel they need to add O'Rourke into the mix, (because honestly, I don't know better than those making these decisions, regardless of my opinion) and find a 40-man spot for him ... but not instead of at least one of Graterol or Alcala. I'm not going to get out a pitchfork, as someone above suggested, but I would be ... disappointed. (And I'll keep my mantra handy ... 'This is just a game, this is just a game, this is just a game ... )
  7. Yeah ... that's my take ... but ... my response was a response to a response ... And O'Rourke is not pitching like someone who should earn a spot. Frankly, I wouldn't call him up in September either, unless there is a roster spot for him somewhere, once Graterol uses that 40th spot.
  8. But will they add him to the roster before that, so he can be used in post-season games? If that 39th spot goes to, well, O'Rourke, who hasn't really been performing all that well in AAA, then, hmmm.
  9. Since we won, I’ll just chalk this up to you can’t have it all. While that would have been a nice way to get the run scoring going, we were up against Giolito. I think Eddie came through at a better time though. At least in this game.
  10. That was a great game to be at! Pineda was great, the BP was great ... wow, and Romo ... he was dealing it! That Sano single was the hardest hit thing I've seen. I swear the wind whistled as it flew. And that come-backer that ended the game ... good win! And, on top of that ... the icing on the cake??? The White Sox paid tribute to me! Had footage of me running around Target Field on the big screen, then they did a skit out on the field where SouthPaw chased me around! Loads of fun!
  11. Lol, ahem ... Ms. Squirrel ... call me Rocki
  12. Why would I, a squirrel, dress up like a squirrel, when I can just be me for the same affect?
  13. Thank you for spelling it out like this! It's easy to grumble because the results aren't exactly what you want ... but this shows we are moving forward, in the right direction.
  14. I'm planning to be there for all three games. Hopefully I can wreak some amusement by running across the field and into the dugouts. Do you think Sano will be happy to see me?
  15. A rookie call up already has had an impact. His name is Arraez. Let’s hooe for another rookie impact, this time a pitcher named Graterol!
  16. Make sure the volume on your computer is all the way up to watch that.
  17. Yeah ... I don't know who would be the right candidate for removal. I'm not sure I'd remove Stewart to be replaced by O'Rourke, though. But seeing as our 40-man roster is currently at 39, someone will be added prior to Sept. 1, so they would be eligible for the playoffs. I'm guessing Graterol ... but ... I really have no idea who it will be. And if we add anyone else ... i.e. O'Rourke or Alcala ... I'm have no idea who would be removed in their place.
  18. None of Graterol, Alcala, Colina, O’Rourke are on the 40-man. One will be added prior to Sept. 1, but who? As for the others, someone would have to be removed for them to be added and I’m not sure I see that happening. So when rosters expand not sure if we will see any of these but one.
  19. Lol ... did you happen to read the title of this thread? That said, links are always appreciated. Saves me a step from looking it up myself.
  20. Lol ... it was about 90% in Chinese with subtitles. Finally saw it today. It was pretty good but there are lots of subtitles.
