    If you are being trolled, please send me a PM. Seriously.

    We actually tried that, and it didn't work. It just ended up with bickering and name calling and people commenting on the perceived character of posters and not on content. But, if you are game, then have at it in the game threads. But, the rules are ... you have to be objective and fair, (judging positive vs negative is subjective, so you have to try and remove that, if you can); you can't 'go after' certain posters just because you don't like them and what they have to say or how they say it; you can't have anyone on ignore; you have to be good at discerning between critical commentary and negativity just to be negative - not everyone is as articulate as you, so you have to be discerning about that, too, in order to be discerning about critical vs negative; no elitism; you have to also keep the 'positive trolls' in line as well; and you have to be present during the entire game to help direct the discussion to keep it on track, even during a really bad game. If we want to 'achieve' self moderation, everyone who is complaining about the negativity, has to be present and on board with this. And you have to do all this without 'attacking' anyone or calling them names or being overly sarcastic about anyone's intelligence.

    Yeah ... but you have to get past one to get to the other ... some would prefer they lose the division just so they won't lose in the playoffs, again (at least a few have stated such in other threads)
  4. Squirrel
    I agree with that premise in general, but that isn't what is happening with the Twins hitting. As I stated above, yes, a well-pitched game would be an explanation for some of the losses, but consistent situational hitting is a problem with this team ... and that isn't explained away with 'but the pitching on the other team.' Sometimes the simplest explanation is the offense just isn't getting it done when they need to.
  5. Squirrel
    Yes.
  6. Squirrel
    Dude, let's not count our chickens before they're hatched!
  7. Squirrel
    Lol ... Occam's Razor ... the simplest theory is that the offense isn't getting it done when the situation needs it, not that you need to invent reasons for it
  8. Squirrel
    No one is asking you to sugar coat it, but I would never have guessed from your comments that you weren't upset about it, so thanks for clarifying
  9. Squirrel
    Then why bother to watch or spend time commenting or posting? I'm not trying to be mean ... but if it's that upsetting, why? If it's not fun ... why waste your time with it?

    I forgot this was an afternoon game

    I’d agree if we were facing ace pitching each and every time we failed to score. How many times have the bases been loaded and 1 or 0 outs and we score only 1 or less? That’s not pitching, that’s offense not doing it’s job. If we can load the bases, we should be able to score. I agree that sometimes it’s pitching, but many times it’s not. Our offense has been very streaky inconsistent and not been able to take advantage when they should
  12. Squirrel
    Uh, that’s not true. How many 1-0 or 2-1 games were lost? Or not coming through in the 10th with a man on 2nd? Those are on the offense, imo. If the offense scores 3 or less in a game and we lose by 1 run, I consider that an offensive failure. Although, overall, some of that happens, but our offense has been very streaky this year, and seems to be feast or famine. (And I haven’t gone back to research my ‘eye test’ and memory-based opinion, so could be wrong, but I still think the offense has been incredibly inconsistent.)
  13. Squirrel
    Stick to the topic, please.
  14. Squirrel
    Hey ... don't rain on my chicken parade!
  15. Squirrel
    Win or lose, the play so far on the field deserves some chicken!
  16. Squirrel
    Lol ... see if you can pick up the Rangers airwaves and listen to them instead
  17. Squirrel
    No kidding ... and I want the Twins to break the ****ing bank and sign Correa longterm
  18. Squirrel
    Wow ... holy moly ... what. a. catch!
  19. Squirrel
    That’s what happens when you blink
  20. Squirrel
    Impressive debut, @Game7-91! Welcome to the big leagues!
  21. Squirrel
    This is actually the most reasonable plan, imo. But ... how long of a leash will he have? I hope, if it's bad Sano, the decision is made quickly. I hope Sano himself is realistic here, and prepared for 'what if.'
  22. Squirrel
    1. 2 or fewer. Set my expectations low to limit the pain if it comes true, but increases the joy if it doesn't 2. Eh, just my overall philosophy when dealing with baseball and the Twins 3. Three things ... the BP, the BP, the BP ... however you want to look at it 4. I want two quality BP arms. That's what I want. What they will do? I'm not confident on anything, but hope if a trade comes, and someone currently on the team goes, it doesn't affect player morale
  23. Squirrel
    Heh ... not to mention, it's been discussed in the forums already ...
  24. Squirrel
    Button? Button, button, whose got the button? (Sorry, just had to. Auto correct can be fun!)
  25. Squirrel
    I don’t know. Want to risk it and make me angry to find out? ?
