    Whoa, Cardinals! Woohoo! Now go Nats tonight!!
  2. Squirrel
    I’m pulling for the Nats from the NL. They’ve never won and I just like them. I will never cheer on the Braves. If it’s the Braves vs the Yankees? I cheer for no one because I will never cheer on the Yankees, either. I want the Cardinals to win tonight.
  3. Squirrel
    They’re all heartbreaking. True heartbreak is true heartbreak.
  4. Squirrel
    That's a relief!

    I don't think he comes even close to Scott 'Windmill' Ullger. Not even close. imo.

    And if we needed a defensive replacement anywhere, I’d choose Adrianza over Astudillo. Yeah. We’re makinf decisions based on different aspects of his game. And to be clear, I wouldn’t have blinked if it had been Astudillo over Adrianza, but, my initial comments were when someone was suggesting Astudillo should be on the roster over Castro. If that’s something you think as well, then we have reached our ‘agree to disagree’ moment.
  13. Squirrel
    I’m not sure what this is saying, except maybe answering my question of who goes on off the roster for Astudillo. Yes, I already said, if you go with 11 pitchers, yes. As for Astudillo over Adrianza? No. Adrianza has been performing very well this year and is a far better SS than Astudillo. I’d also prefer Adrianza over Astudillo in a few other positions. If Adrianza isn’t healthy, yes, Astudillo is the likely next call up. But Astudillo is not an upgrade over Adrianza.
  14. Squirrel
    Sure. But that’s not the issue. Being able to think of spots where you might want to pinch hit for him isn’t reason to put Astudillo on the roster over Castro. And I think that’s what we’re responding to, that the thought that Astudillo should have a roster spot over Castro. That’s just a no, imo.
  15. Squirrel
    Concur. I think Castro and Garver make the perfect match for the catchers on a team. One is a great hitter and an okay defender who is maybe even improving over the big improvements already made, the other a so so hitter, at a position where you don’t really need it, and a great defender. Turtle isn’t a great hitter, but good, and he’s a terrible defender. If he’s on the playoff roster, it’s not in place of Castro, it’s in place of someone else, so who? There is no one else he has outplayed where he deserves a spot. Maybe, and it’s a big maybe for me, you could make the argument Schoop should be replaced by Turtle, but it’s not what I would have done. If Adrianza proves unwell or is reinjured, then Turle comes back. Or MarGo. But I hope not. The way the two of them have played, I think that’s an upgrade over Turtle. Or if we go with 11 pitchers next round, then there is a place for a position player and you can add him. Or Wade.

    My project at work today? Proofreading music. Something that takes focused effort. Between what's coming in a few hours and the extra shot I had in my latte, I'll just be lucky I don't have an ulcer by the time I go to bed tonight. And then there .... SQUIRREL!
