    Do you remember when this interview was? I’d like to find it and listen to it and see if I get the same vibe.
  2. Squirrel
    Why do you say this? I get the exact opposite vibe. Everything Rocco has said about Royce is nothing praise
  3. Squirrel
    In true game thread fashion … yes
  4. Squirrel
    I don’t object to the strategy and using these rules to their benefit that don’t benefit the opponents in the same way. I wouldn’t call it brilliant, though. Yes, playing the long game is what he is doing. It’s what every team does. I just object to this being within the rules of baseball because it ceases to be a serious game. It’s not what any fan pays to see. Of course, it could then be argued that it ceased to be a serious game after Giolito gave it up. But, that happens. Not sure what the solution is other than to create a system of levels. Down by 20 in the 6th, okay, down by 15 in the 7th okay, down by 10 in the 8th okay … or something like that

    I get what Francona was doing, and that it was within the rules. Good for him. But at that point it becomes an unwatchable game for me. At that point that game is over because the manager has acknowledged they weren’t going to win and they weren’t even going to try. I get it, he was saving his BP for the next game. Then pack it up and go home. It becomes a non-professional game out there at that point. Either way the fans don’t get what they paid for. The thing is, because they were losing, they get to save their pitching, but the opponents do not, according to the rules. That doesn’t seem fair, If they want out of the game in the 6th inning, pack it in and go home.
  6. Squirrel
    That was what I said
  7. Squirrel
    100%? Yeah, I don’t believe that, at all. But if he is then Lee is at 3rd and Lewis in the outfield.
  8. Squirrel
    Who’s at 2nd? Polanco could very well be gone after this season. Lewis or Lee could play 2nd, too. I know that you are certain that the veteran presence will win out, but if they decline Polo’s option, things just are not as log-jammed as some think. And Lee very well could start the year in AAA, but that will depend on him and how he does.
  9. Squirrel
    They could decline Polanco’s option … and Martin I think will be in the OF … so I don’t see this as a logjam more than filling needs elsewhere
  10. Squirrel
    Yeah, I thought trading Arraez after 2019 was a good idea … and trading Miranda after his year was a good idea … it’s hard to know when it’s a good idea. We’ve seen this year what a DH only player does for the flexibility of the team and I’m not really in favor of something like that in today’s game, but I guess that depends on who the DH is
  11. Squirrel
    Annnnnd ... rebooting an old story ... really, we've talked this one to death on here.
  12. Squirrel
    You’ll pass by my building on your way out of town, I think. I’ll wave to you, although I face west.
  13. Squirrel
    10:45 departure at Amtrak … Empire Builder heading west?
  14. Squirrel
    And he said as much in his post-game presser, which I'm sure few listened to, because, eh, I don't always listen to them, either. But he was asked about this and that was kind of the gist of it
  15. Squirrel
    Rocco talked about it in the post-game if you listen. Sounds like he was sent down to rest up and regroup.
  16. Squirrel
    Do we dare to hope?
  17. Squirrel
    That’s the move many are clamoring for. And to think many here thought Austin Martin was done for
  18. Squirrel
    This is where I’m at with Buxton. Is just sad. So much talent, but a body that won’t withstand it.
  19. Squirrel
    I think we have beaten this topic dead. And I think I know a good topic for next off-season’s debate … any takers? But for now, as agreement isn’t really in the cards from what I can read, and a lot of repeating the same sides and frustrations, let’s move on. Thanks,
  20. Squirrel
    And if you stay overnight, stay in that haunted hotel the teams stay at https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/oakland-as-player-has-haunted-experience-at-milwaukees-pfister-hotel
  21. Squirrel
    Yes ... St. Paul, for a few games anyway, not for an entire rehab assignment. Not sure how that works, but it's what I'd do
  22. Squirrel
    The game threads are always posted in the Twins Talk forum here: https://twinsdaily.com/forums/forum/6-minnesota-twins-talk/ More often than not they are posted well before game time so you can get your banter practice in. If you have any issues finding them, send me a PM. Also, game threads are archived early the following day and can be found in the archived game thread forum, if you want to read through any of them
  23. Squirrel
    Still working on that? It’s been 11 yrs already
  24. Squirrel
    I don't know ... you should discuss this in the 'Roster crunch' thread.
  25. Squirrel
    In my head I’m saying ‘Tay’-O’, but don’t know if that’s correct, either. As for the game liked what I saw and hope they keep it up, especially playing Detroit. Jeffers is being the catcher this year I thought he was going to be last year. He really seems to be coming into his own and I like it, a lot.
