    Not only Bashbury, but there's Cashbury, Dashbury, Gashbury, Hashbury, Mashbury and Rashbury

    This is my concern as well. There are recent studies and articles out there about the sharp rise in pitcher injuries due to increased velocity and spin. Either Duran would have to pitch fewer innings as a starter, which everyone “loves” or would have to give up a lot of velocity to make it work. And not only that, if he were to transition back a starter, that should have happened in the off-season and ST. It would be disastrous to start that now. Too late for this year. And not a good idea for ever, imo.

    Stick to topic, please. I get that this topic of Duran as starter is old and tired and one we’ve seen many times over the years, so don’t comment, then. But also don’t threadjack. Especially not to another old and tired topic, that has become a pet topic for one of you. Stop.

    This topic comes up a few times a year. Here’s the most recent thread on this in the forums.

    What was that clip of Hawk going silent? Was the best

    As my residence for the past 24+ yrs, I can verify that that simply is not true. I could go point by point do what’s good about Chicago, but that list would be way too long. That’s not to say I like everything about the city because I don’t, but there is a lot to like. When I retire I’m likely to move back to Minnesota, but I might not. We’ll see.

    Hoping the Twins keep it rolling, that our pitchers pitch and our hitters hit.

    Lol … Sox announcers: “Happy birthday to Willi Castro. Hope he doesn’t have a good birthday at the plate, though.” Home run.

    Nope ... wsnydes accidentally sent it to the archives, probably thinking it was yesterday's thread, then started a new one ... but it's back now ... and I merged the two. Hopefully that didn't screw up the linking to social media ... something I've never done before, ever

    I agree. And the Sox are not getting a new stadium, not one funded by the people here as Reinsdorf wants. He hasn’t even paid off his bonds yet on the current one. And with the Bears competing for public money on a new stadium, they are likely to get it first. The Sox are the last on the totem pole for getting anything toward a new stadium. And I really hope the Bears stadium doesn’t go through. They want half paid for by the public. No way. Every city and state official that would agree to that will lose their jobs

    Why? People get miserable over a loss why can’t we enjoy a win? We will likely have fewer wins than losses this year, so I say enjoy it.
  12. Squirrel
    I sort of do, too. Listening to their post game show. Poor Ozzie.
  13. Squirrel
    And they’ve been shut out for 36% of games
  14. Squirrel
    Varland will need to really step it up for the Twins to take the series. Hoping for a good showing today! Go Twins!
  15. Squirrel
    You didn't miss much ... game or game thread, from what I am reading

    Squirrel is not blind ...
  17. Squirrel
    no kidding.

    Give the Ober/under in how many ‘jokes’ Chief will try to pun on Ober’s name? Go Twins!
  19. Squirrel
    I've got the hiccups
  20. Squirrel
    That's not very positive :)
  21. Squirrel
    I agree. But the question was who's keeping him from playing and why. Can't know that but I think Chief gave the most reasonable explanation. I think I clarified my position in my next post. So keep reading. Yeah, I'd like him to get a chance to play, but it is what it is.

    I was being a little bit over the top. While I don't think we have the greatest out there, I don't think we have the worst, either. And I think compared to what most everyone on these boards would do, I think they do better. Most on these boards are without all the details and are way too emotional and reactionary. That said, I don't know why Camargo hasn't played yet. I wish they'd give us a public explanation, but what do they say? 'We don't think he's good enough.' 'He's not ready yet.' 'Our pitchers don't want him.' 'We don't trust him.' 'We're stupid and stubborn and refuse to play him.' I mean, honestly, who knows? It's certainly frustrating to see these rookies get called up only to sit. I mean, play them, for goodness sakes. Who knows who will spark and we certainly need a spark right now. Why bother otherwise? But then, maybe it's just easier for me to detach from these things than others.
  23. Squirrel
    Maybe the pitchers don’t want him to catch them? Who knows. But it’s more likely that everyone from the manager and coaches to the FO are just horrible at their jobs and being nefarious in some way
  24. Squirrel
    @Riverbrian should understand that one, because sometimes his articles were edited, too, because they made no sense
  25. Squirrel
    No, you did it to say ‘See? I told you so,’ but sugar-coat it how you like 🙂
