    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
  2. Squirrel
    Because the newspaper is the only place to read the news … 🙄
  3. Squirrel
    Why? Because they have fewer wins? If they surpass the Twins, indeed. I’m not sure anyone in this division deserves to win, but the one with the highest number in the W column will head to the playoffs.

    Expressing an opinion that you think someone is brittle is fine and is far, far different from assigning a derogatory, pejorative or negative nickname to someone (which you didn’t do), even if you think it in jest. (This isn’t directed specifically at you, just making a distinction here for all to see.)

    Get it, do it, win!

    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

    Heath Bar blizzards are my go to, but I once had a GS Thin Mint Blizzrd … that really beat all. For novelty treats, the Buster Bar is exceptional

    Sorry, Mike ... I was trying to lighten it up a bit, guess you didn't get that, since you are one of the ones that ALWAYS comments on Gallo in the lineup
  9. Squirrel
    Although, tbh ... would rather have Solano's bat in the lineup, but would rather have Gallo playing first ... too bad we can't have a player called Gallano playing for us 😉

    BLIZZARDS FOR ALL! The good kind, not the ones wsnydes suggests.

    Welcome to TD game threads where a number of posters wait until that moment to join the thread.

    I’m watching non-baseball things
  13. Squirrel
    I think they have before ... maybe in 2021? In a long extra inning game?
  14. Squirrel
    And Rocco made the right move. And we won.
  15. Squirrel
    Which one's Bash and which one's Crash?
  16. Squirrel
    Still working on that? It’s been 11 yrs already

    Having/paying for Correa does not deter them from spending elsewhere. Full stop. He is not the reason they didn't spend more in the BP. And to me, he's been disappointing, but the FO admitted before we even signed Correa that they weren't going to focus anymore on the BP during the off-season. One doesn't have anything to do with the other. You can be disappointed with his play, but blaming him for the FO not spending on the BP just is not a thing.

    Don't forget the White Sox ... good times!
  19. Squirrel
    Eh, emoji, gif ... it gets the idea across
  20. Squirrel
    Well, maybe that is the topic, though. We can complain about players all we want ... and, I'm not saying Correa isn't a disappointment, and there have been thousands of words written about that subject all through this site ... but the FO is the one who signs them and agrees to pay them the signing amount. So ... I'm not exactly sure the over all point ... Correa is a disappointment to you ... but I still think the comparison to Simmons is a bad one. I'm not even sure Adrianza is a good one, either. Compare him to all the other SS in the league (SS, not outfielders) or compare him to his past seasons. The fact is, this team hasn't had a true and great SS in a long while. And while Correa's offense is lacking and disappointing, what we've had in the field, isn't. It doesn't balance it, but it also doesn't make it as bad, either, imo. And we haven't seen that, as I said, in a long while. Is it worth $30million? That's still another issue to debate. I guess it's not to you, but for me, I'm not sure, given we could have had Farmer as our SS, and for a while was looking that way. Would you be less disappointed if we were only paying Correa $10million? Either way, I'd still rather have Twins Correa than Twins Simmons or Twins Adrianza.
  21. Squirrel
    Did I say I was offended? Nope. I just think the methodology was off. I don't even disagree that Correa has been disappointing. And I did suggest some comparisons that I felt would better tell the story, I didn't say don't make any comparisons, just make apt ones. And I'd still rather have Correa at his $30mil than to have the Simmons we got for $10. It's not even close.
  22. Squirrel
    Oh, here it is ...
  23. Squirrel
    Don't take that tone with me. I was making a point, too. Correa's contract isn't just one year. And this season isn't over yet. Doubtful he 'catches up' but he could be better. We all get that he's not what we had hoped, that goes without saying, but this comparison just isn't good and does not tell the story correctly or accurately or really at all, imo. If we want to see what kind of year Correa is having, then use other current SS around the league and do that, compare their single season, and their megamillions, as another poster above suggested. Or compare Correa's single season to his career numbers. I'm not disputing Correa has been a disappointment, but the methodology is just simply wrong here. And use someone other than Simmons ... Simmons was putrid as a Twin. We didn't get career Simmons here, either, and what little we paid Simmons still wasn't worth it, either, so I just don't get that comparison. It's a poor one, imo. In other words, I'd rather have Correa for $30million, than Simmons, as he was as a Twin, for $10.00

    There was something reported about this during ST ... that Wallner had the best arm

    Where's my groan emoji!
