    Interesting that the ChiSox are likely going to win their game with KC tonight after sweeping the Astros. Goes to show you that even a dismantled team such as the Sox are can always surprise you. And hoping that Boston can finish off the Yankees tonight, too.

    This is a game thread on TD and not a trash Mauer thread on rube chat. I suggest you keep that in mind going forward.

    Was the 4th one not that same pitch?
  4. Squirrel
    Everyone rails on Joe, where's the same love for Sano?

    Okay, threaders ... it's time to step up ... yeah, Aggies, I'm looking at you ... and everyone else ... four dates remain for August ... 17, 26, 30 and 31 ... Chief and I will await your PM's.
  6. Squirrel
    Sure!
  7. Squirrel
    Maybe we should have a game thread party at Aggies' ... don't tell him when, just show up.
  8. Squirrel
    Lol ... that's a good one.

    I was joking, actually. But I rarely drink at home. And I don't particularly like wine ... although you wouldn't guess that by seeing all the wine I have ... all gifts.

    Man, the Tigers announcers were just as enthusiastic about that catch as anyone ... I mean ... gotta appreciate that kind of a catch no matter who made it.
  11. Squirrel
    Yes, and on the Tigers board, too.
  12. Squirrel
    Holy crap! What more can one say about that catch! Sheesh!
  13. Squirrel
    And on a Tigers board somewhere, someone is saying that Upton didn't even try to jump for it.
  14. Squirrel
    Oh, heh ... well ... I wasn't really drinking during the game. I was out and about and had been drinking and came home to watch the end of the game. I mean, who drinks at home alone?
  15. Squirrel
    What bag? Are you calling me a bag???

    At this point in the summer, it's just difficult for me. Work tires me out. But I'm on vacay for 3 weeks after the 20th.
  17. Squirrel
    heh ... guess not.
  18. Squirrel
    And now Castro will homer.
  19. Squirrel
    Oh well crap.

    And I don't think playing well since then is a coincidence, either. It can go either way. And yes, credit to them. Something lit a fire and I am merely suggesting that if certain things can be called 'coincidental' to dampen spirits, I think they can be fire lighters, too. And I'm not over valuing ... I think I was very clear in being a believer in 'It ain't over 'til it's over ... but I think looking at those teams and looking at possibilities ... I just don't think it's the year to put all our eggs into one basket or another ... I don't think taking all factors into account, and that being but one, is over valuing that one tidbit when there is more that goes into such decisions.
  21. Squirrel
    Knowing you, that would be a most excellent project for you!

    I don't think it was overreacting at all. The Twins played very poorly against the best teams in baseball at that point, teams they will have to beat in the playoffs and the WS, should they make it that far. While still not impossible, the probability was nudged in not getting there. Then they played poorly against the A's, a NOT good team. While maybe some of us hoped they'd stay the course of small buying to help, I don't think it was as egregious as overreacting. I am a firm believer in 'it ain't over til it's over' and have a lot of back and forth on their quick unloading of Garcia, but I can't exactly fault them either. And who knows, maybe it's that move that lit the fire of 'We'll show them!'

    I was going to ask what you think has changed or what Belisle might be doing differently that he seems to have 'righted the ship,' then saw what Tom wrote and thought, 'Okay that seems plausible,' then came to your post so now I'm asking ... is there something that's different or is he just finding his stride here?

    Sometimes the cursor gets 'stuck' inside the quote box and won't go to where you want to type a response. Try adding a space or two or a return inside the box, the click outside the box. Or a return or two, then delete (backspace). I'm not sure why it does this sometimes, but it does; it's not consistent.

    Not all rookies are the same. And not all situations are the same at the point 'only allowing two runs.' His FIRST cup of coffee, in a game that could have very easily gone south, quickly, with someone who isn't projected to be like (put in any higher rated hopeful pitcher here), so pull him and hopefully preserve the game. He did okay his first couple innings, got a hit (yeah, I know, kind of funny, but still), he will take with him some good positives. Heck, that he was up at all, is something. I don't think there can ever be a standard 'allow so many innings' for all rookies to 'develop' or 'evaluate' (which isn't the time or place for anyway in this particular situation, imo.) He got his taste, he's got some things in his mind now (hopefully) of how to better approach things (if he can), that's the learning and development right there, no matter the length of the outing. It was enough. Onto the next game with momentum of a win rather than a deflating blow out.
