  1. I think that’s a fair analysis. However, Souhan stated that Joe not being on the team is the primary reason the team is winning. That is simply BS, imo, for reasons stated above. It’s just one small part of many, many things that go into making a team ... who stays, who goes, for how much, and how the new mix actually executes. Joe is not the primary reason.
  2. Today they thought he took off his helmet on purpose trying to get in the way of being tagged out.
  3. Lol ... could ... but you obviously don't recall that I'm the non-bacon person in these here parts. I'll have to find another way to be creative with that.
  4. I'll be making and eating my chicken-black bean casserole tonight for dinner
  5. No ... I didn't realize it was Max's full name, so in that context you are correct ... was just commenting on the spelling of Maximilian
  6. It can be spelled either way as a man's name.
  7. I'm actually looking at them for walking and other exercise ... not a runner ... but need a very solid shoe with a solid sole, because of an arthritis condition I have in my right foot.
  8. Heh ... and now the Sox just replayed Astudillo's run from 1st to 3rd ... hehehe
  9. Heh ... the Sox announcers are gushing about his jump out of the way there.
  10. Lol ... Astudillo looked incredibly awkward there ... did he trip or slide or trip as he started his slide? yes
  11. Dunno ... listening to the 'other' broadcast
  12. All right ... that's the way ... and phew!
  13. I guess I was also lol-ing over the comments about May's lips, too, a little.
  14. That was what my 'lol' was for ... I guess just posting 'lol' left it completely out of context.
  15. Trying a new recipe tonight ... Chicken-Black Bean Casserole. Doesn't that sound good?
  16. Wow ... I would have liked to see that play if Abreu had run there.
  17. Oh, and here are the lineups: CHICAGO Charlie Tilson(L) CF Yoan Moncada(S) 3B Jose Abreu(R ) DH Yonder Alonso(L) 1B Eloy Jimenez(R ) LF Jose Rondon(R ) SS Yolmer Sanchez(S) 2B Seby Zavala(R ) C Ryan Cordell(R ) RF Dylan Covey(R ) P TWINS Max Kepler(L) RF Jorge Polanco(S) SS Marwin Gonzalez(S) LF Eddie Rosario(L) DH C.J. Cron(R ) 1B Luis Arraez(L) 2B Willians Astudillo(R ) 3B Jason Castro(L) C Byron Buxton(R ) CF Jake Odorizzi(R ) P
  18. I spent the last two hours looking for shoes ... anyone have experience with Nike Zoom Fly running shoes?
  19. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/05/anti-trump-republicans-could-help-democrats-2020/589933/?fbclid=IwAR33BUKvMHHz4BVzc5JIX8VQpkGlKSU-8aFArfsA2l3Dz1tIcMmoqcsekGM&utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_content=5cea0f742866ef00011c83f5_ta&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook Disclaimer: I haven't read this yet, but I like the writing of The Atlantic. The title and lead in made me think it might be a discussion point. As I said, I haven't read it so not posting in agreement or disagreement with this.
  20. As to your first point re minor league injuries, there is a comprehensive article on that in the minor league forum. I would check it out. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/33265-article-injuries-have-been-huge-unfortunate-story-of-twins-minor-league-season/
  21. Let me rephrase then ... the primary reason. I don't think that's true or accurate. There is just so much that goes into this game, many people - players, coaches/manager, FO - to say Joe is the primary reason the team is winning this year ... I don't buy it nor agree with it. And I am glad he's gone. Not because I disliked him ... he was what he was ... I felt there were far worse out there, and that there were better out there for where he was in his final years. As much as I liked Dozier over the years, I'm glad they traded him off last year. I'm glad they really pared players away (except for Esco) and ecstatic Molitor is gone. I think many of those are bigger reasons for more success this year than Joe being gone. Or maybe they are all equal reasons ... they are all just part of the pile of why this team is better this year. But Joe is not the primary reason this team is better, and that is exactly what Souhan said and you seem to be defending; and that I disagree with.
