    I thought I looked at last nights box scores in Rochester and didn’t see Thorpe. Well, guess it’s not him, then.
  2. Squirrel
    I would think that could vary depending on years control. But I think we could find both. And should be looking for both, and make the deals we can.
  3. Squirrel
    There is no choice that is ‘Yes’
  4. Squirrel
    Well, there is a spot on the 40-man to add Rooker, but I’m not sure the Twins will do that yet.
  5. Squirrel
    And? Are there 2 open spots on the 25-man, or is a pitcher being sent down along with Wade to the IL?
  6. Squirrel
    Wow ... didn’t have to even see that one to know it was gone off the bat.
  7. Squirrel
    Yeah, the timing of that was weird, even more so since they haven't filled it. Maybe they thought a deal was more imminent than it became?
  8. Squirrel
    Ah, right ... but didn't we already recall a pitcher for Odorizzi? Not sure how that works, but can we send back the person we already called up in order to recall Thorpe in place of Odorizzi's start? (Asking because I really don't know the nuance of that. And I don't think Thorpe has pitched since last Sunday. But Smelzer hasn't pitched since ... I think Monday or Tuesday ... so either could pitch.)
  9. Squirrel
    I would have liked to have seen Thorpe again ... but I think it's too soon for a recall there.

    What's the Red Sox mood among fans up there in Maine?
  11. Squirrel
    To me that's in the category of frightening, not mind boggling. I think I said that once or twice in this thread already, didn't I? Tech stuff is scary.
  12. Squirrel
    Yes.
  13. Squirrel
    Heh, glad you’re not the manager, other than from your armchair.
  14. Squirrel
    And by most I don’t mean 60%, I mean just shy of all, enough to give him rest when he needs it.
  15. Squirrel
    Graterol is off the IL?
  16. Squirrel
    I agree that Baldelli has managed the roster well, moving people around, giving people rest. But I still want to see Rosario in LF most of the time, and yes, I want to see him play there over Arraez.
  17. Squirrel
    So, you’ll play him over Rosario?
  18. Squirrel
    I wasn’t considering Astudillo when I answered that, as they both aren’t currently on the team.
  19. Squirrel
    I don’t think he’s horrendous. He’s adequate but I’d rather have just about anyone else out there.
  20. Squirrel
    if you look at who is in the HR derby, I think those individual players, most of them, anyway, have more HRs than our top HR hitter. What we’ve accomplished with HRs has been an exceptional team effort. Besides, I don’t want any of our players jinxed or ruined for the rest of the season.
  21. Squirrel
    Then who goes down when everyone is healthy and you have 13 pitchers? He has options, he goes down. It’s the way it goes. If they go with 12 pitchers and continue to revolve them and shuttle them between here and AAA you can keep a 13th position player and that would be Arraez or Astudillo. And I wouldn’t say his defense is better than anyone else’s to justify removing someone else from the team. And I question that ‘good’ comment about him in left field. I also don’t think, defensively, he’s not better than Adrianza at 3rd or SS. Arraez will most definitely be in play for 2nd base next year, but for right now, unless the FO goes with 12 pitchers or removes another player, there isn’t room for him.
  22. Squirrel
    Come on, Kohl ... get it done!
  23. Squirrel
    Um, why? Was there some hidden meaning in that?
  24. Squirrel
    And that's what slump breaking looks like!
  25. Squirrel
    Whew' we needed that!
