  1. Indeed ... but ... while giving up 3 runs, they didn't give up the lead ... this time ... and we still won by 4 ... ahhhh ... perspective
  2. I misused a comma there, so, that added to the confusion
  3. Well, but he doesn't have a full no trade clause now, so that's what I'm going on; I'm not talking about trading him in the offseason but before the deadline ... isn't that what most are on about? And, that actually brings up another issue ... wonder who is on his list with his limited trade clause. That could also be in play if the Twins actually were thinking of trading him before deadline (which I don't think they will, because I think it would be a huge mistake to do so, no matter what our contention status is). If he opts in at the end of the season, I'm ecstatic. If he opts out ... WAAAAAAAA ... but it's what I expect, and am happy we had him for a the year we did
  4. Who was upset by that? Was anyone? Maybe one or two persons, but certainly not people. I think most people were worried about anyone taking time away from Arraez and finding space for Arraez in the lineup.
  5. I don't think there is right or wrong here, personally. I hope the shot works and he's better for it and can give us more on-field time after. That he's missing two games over it? That's between him, his doctors and the team, imo. Disappointed to not see him on the field? Yes. Think he should have foregone the ASG? No. He was given the honor, he deserved the choice, whether it's what any of us think.
  6. Honestly, once the inning was over, and I double-checked the score, I said to myself, 'Wait, they only scored 3 runs? Okay, phew.' It felt close, yes, but I don't think it really was that close ... once it was over. However, as I said in my post, with our PB, you just never know.
  7. Yeah ... well ... thankfully he didn't throw a lot of pitches, and with the day off on Monday, he could be used today, too. I'm not sure I would have used him, but, with our BP, I don't necessarily think a 4-run lead is safe, and I think it was important we come out of this game with a win.
  8. Ryan gave up a triple, then a single and a run, then got a couple outs ... and was about to face someone who was 2 for 2 against him ... while I get your angst about how the game has changed, in this case, I think pulling when he was pulled was the right decision. It's not always my choice in other games, but this game, and that's what this thread is about, I don't think the argument for not pulling him holds up as well.
  9. While the BP is frustrating, closing the gap from 8-1 to 8-4 ... I don't consider it close. Okay, maybe for this BP is was, but once we got out of the bad inning, I could breathe a bit better. It wasn't a save situation. However, yes, the BP should be able to do better than that and not give up 3 runs.
  10. We will get nothing of significance for either for different reasons. The best option is to ride the year with Correa who adds much to this team, than trade him for not much.
  11. Indeed ... how many pitches did he throw in total? 7, 8?
  12. What? Why did he have to change his glove?
  13. Okay ... now ... bottom of the 9th ... this where things really get real ...
  14. We're still up 8-4 ... chill a bit and save it for the bottom of the 9th
  15. I think the Megill experiment is over
  16. Well, things are getting a bit less fun
  17. We just smoked pot. Aliens at the drive in, high … good times
  18. You’d think … and then we got this station wagon, you know, the one with the seats in the way back facing one another, and put the one prone to car sickness back there making it worse
  19. Road trips in my family could be an adventure because my sister got car sick easily. One time my parents actually had to stop and rent a hotel room in order to clean her up
  20. I mean, okay, they aren’t playing well … doubtful it’s because they don’t give a ****
  21. That’s simply not true. At least not this season. He finally figured it out
  22. He’s been doing it more often this year
