    Can’t one watch online? I thought you could in the past. There have been watch parties in my neighborhood.
  2. Squirrel
    I’m surprised no one started a thread here before now. I haven’t watched any of the games, but was thrilled Mexico beat Germany ... I always like seeing the ‘under dog’ win. Hope there is more of that.

    Your last sentence hits it ... it's why I'm a fan ... you never really know what will happen. But it's also frustrating when the weirdness affects your team in a not-so-optimal way. Such is life. But the starting rotation ... what will happen when Santana is back? Guess that could be its own thread discussion and not sure when that will be so that could affect the answer ... who I would switch out today might not be the same in two weeks.

    And I’m not believing or disbelieving it, only saying what’s been said. I can’t rail on something that hasn’t happened yet. And, for me, it doesn’t matter. He hurt his hand and that’s what it is. It’s indicative of this whole season. And I’m not going to take some sort of stance that they are being completely clueless or intentionally dishonest either. Maybe foolishly hopeful, but it still is what it is and we’ll have to wait and see. Maybe he’s back July 2nd, maybe he’s not. While I hope for the best, I’m not holding my breath either.

    The article I read and the tweet from ... don’t remember who ... said that while it might push back the rehab assignment a little, they don’t expect to push back his start date. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-jorge-polanco-rehab-assignment-pushed-back/

    "Polanco spent the early portion of his suspension working on strength, conditioning and mobility before playing extended spring training games. Falvey said Polanco has done “everything we’ve asked him,” adding that reports about his performance and attitude have been good." https://www.twincities.com/2018/06/13/suspended-twins-shortstop-jorge-polanco-ramping-up-for-july-2-return/

    He’s been working out and playing in games this whole time.
  8. Squirrel
    Yeah, I read this yesterday or the day before. Not worried.
  9. Squirrel
    He cut his finger. I read that while his rehab start date might be pushed back, they still expect his return to the big club on July 2nd.
  10. Squirrel
    So does this game thread.
  11. Squirrel
    Polanco cut his finger. While his rehab assignment is pushed back, they still think he’ll be ready July 2. There was this: https://www.twincities.com/2018/06/13/suspended-twins-shortstop-jorge-polanco-ramping-up-for-july-2-return/ Followed by this: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-jorge-polanco-rehab-assignment-pushed-back/

    That’s a good one. I still like 3/4, though.
  13. Squirrel
    Feel free to start one.

    Brian, with all due respect, you don’t need to characterize my desire to see Nick Gordon get his feet wet this year as impatient. I happen to think it’s a good strategy to get our prospects ready. That’s why we have 6 years of control ... to be able to bring them up and send them down to prepare them. Disagree, fine, but this isn’t about anyone being impatient, but seeing things differently than you. I’m not saying he needs to be up yesterday or tomorrow, I just think he needs a taste this year to plan better for next. Gordon needs to know first hand what will be expected. As for Sano, I have no idea what will happen. I was all for being patient with him and in hindsight, maybe that wasn’t what was a good thing to do.
  15. Squirrel
    Um, okay ... and that’s means .... ???
  16. Squirrel
    I’d personally drop a Dozier’s down to 6th or 7th, but there is no one I’d move up.
  17. Squirrel
    Yeah, I’m not for calling him up right now and have said so given his performance so far in AAA. But if in a month or so, he’s figured out that next level to a degree that we’re seeing forward movement, I would have no issue with getting him up this year for a taste and hope that happens. I don’t care about the service clock like some are. I want him ready when we are at our most competitive. As I said above, I wish they had gotten him to AAA a little sooner, but whatever. We’ll just have to wait and see.
  18. Squirrel
    I think this service time stuff is overblown. I think our window of contention will be gone by the time Gordon’s service time is over which is why I don’t think it will matter if the clock starts this year or next. Get him up this year to see what he needs to get ready for. However, he’s not ready yet, and maybe he won’t be this year. But the minute he shows signs of it, you bring him up and show him where he needs to be. We need him to be in this Rosario, Kepler, Sano, Buxton window.
  19. Squirrel
    Yeah, which is why I wanted to promote him to AAA a bit sooner, but it likely wouldn’t have made a difference.
  20. Squirrel
    Not if he has a no trade clause. Of course that’s doesn’t apply to Machado but it did with Verlander. Wait, who are we talking about now in this thread?
  21. Squirrel
    I would assume that, yes. And I don’t think that’s an over-reach to jump to that conclusion. I do think, however, it’s an over-reach to assume it’s because Sano is disgruntled and that this is somehow punitive.
  22. Squirrel
    I think you are reaching with that assumption. Fort Myers has one of the best facilities. I don’t think this is punitive for disgruntledness, in fact everything I’ve read suggests yes, this is for work on his mechanics and conditioning.
  23. Squirrel
    Who’s disgruntled and being removed?
  24. Squirrel
    It won’t be Gordon until they remove someone from the 40-man.
  25. Squirrel
    Why do you think so? I’d really like to know
