    This was before that, before testing. He wasn't caught, but he admitted to it after his career was done
  2. Squirrel
    There was someone else ... earlier ... who admitted to using well after, and took a roster spot from someone else. I can't remember who it was but it was a pitcher. Maybe in the 90s or earlier in the 2000s? It was before testing in the 'turn a blind eye' era.

    There were others. But I don't recall who.

    Fryer isn't on the 40-man. The fact that they didn't make moves to put Fryer on the 40-man would indicate to me that Pinto's time in AAA won't be for long. But who knows.
  5. Squirrel
    Was Pinto just deemed not ready?

    Actually, not to get way off topic and pat myself in the back, but I called it on Gibson last year. I had a nice discussion with stringer about it while at a ST game, as a matter of fact.

    Mod note: Let's keep on track here. This thread is not about Mauer. You are more than welcome to start a new, and yet another, thread on Mauer, but let's keep this thread to the topic at hand. Thanks.

    Now if they could just find someplace else for Stauffer …
  9. Squirrel
    Well, now he probably knows for sure. He gave it that one last go and now can move on without any doubts. Good luck to him.

    I'm not so sure about the cheap sunglasses, though ... Hate watching all the sun and warm weather when I'm stuck up here in this mess ... But love the report.

    I returned from The Fort last Sunday. It was my 15th ST in a row completed. Unfortunately, due to family obligations, I can't spend every day there, but I managed 2 games and 2 mornings of watching 'stuff.' Mostly what I tell everyone and anyone, ST is just one of those 'must dos' in life. Watching the former, current and someday come together in one place is something special. Oh, and get the fried cheese curds to go with the beer!

    It only means that there were too many starting pitchers playing games that first week and only pitching 2-3 innings and everyone needed to get in some regular work that that's just how it worked out. Even going forward it might not mean that much until starters are consistently going 4-5 innings. Then we'll see. Last year I was right in my prediction with Gibson. This year I just really have no idea. Before games were starting I would've given May the best shot but I really think it could go a number of directions. But I'm preparing myself for May and Meyer starting in AAA, and that makes me a little frustrated. Something has to give (ie a trade).

    Although, as starters go longer into games, and with a lot of decisions left to be made regarding the starting rotation and the bullpen, they need to give the innings to other guys so Berrios needs to get his innings in then in minor league camp. Still, thought he'd make it to the next cut.
  14. Squirrel
    I get Buxton, but am a tad surprised that Berrios isn't up a little longer. True, he wasn't going north with the team this year, but I thought maybe they'd keep him in the big league camp a little longer.

    I work in a business where that same 'desire' is necessary. And you slog through 'paying your dues' waiting for a chance at the big time. Some make it, many don't. It's not uncommon to have doubts and wonder if it's all worth it, especially if you are barely eking out a living. I've even quit before. But I ended up one of the lucky ones, persevered, because thats what I really wanted after getting past all the doubt and struggle, and won a position in probably the top organization in this country in my field. I can't say that my 'stats' were that of a standout, but I'm good at what I do and with a lot of luck, some good timing, and hard work, I did it. Tyler may still end up making the decision that it's time, but who knows? I give him credit for being here and say 'Good for him!' and 'Go get it!'

    I liked the short videos you did with some of the players last year, too. (Hint)

    This is not a thread about Gardy vs Molly. Yes, it will be interesting to see how Hicks is handled going forward, but this is an article about Hicks' batting. Let's not make this about the peripherals, please. You are welcome to start a thread about his handling now vs his handling then if you like.

    Halsey, on a home game day, what time do things get started? How late do they go?
  19. Squirrel
    Ah, the growing empire! Congrats, guys!
  20. Squirrel
    You just show up and watch. Nothing special needed. But not sure about parking on days where there's a ST game going on at the stadium. Can show up, but will have to pay the $10 parking fee.

    Taxes ... grumble grumble necessary evil grumble

    That was a beautiful post and a beautiful tribute to your Grandfather. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.
  23. Squirrel
    This is a shame, imo.
  24. Squirrel
    Great read, Seth! You do such a good job at showing the 'human interest' side of players ... hope to see, er read, more of it!

    Hmmm ...
