    What’s a Captain Coke?
  2. Squirrel
    Haven’t had it yet …
  3. Squirrel
    Is it a jinx to eat your chicken dinner before the game?
  4. Squirrel
    I’ll take it … a runner aboard
  5. Squirrel
    Long day. Hope I can stay awake to watch this …

    Context. It was a dinner between friends discussing their roles for this season, given his health this year. It wasn't Correa convincing him to stay at DH forever. I've read what Dan Hayes wrote and you are spinning it to support your agenda regarding Correa. Nice try, though.
  7. Squirrel
    I'm sorry, but that is a bit of a nonsense. He's not a fulltime DH because of that.

    Just came to report this … didn’t see an official announcement other than being on the Twins’ transaction page:
  9. Squirrel
    The 9th try and totally deaf … hmm
  10. Squirrel
    And yet, Beethoven composed one of his greatest works, and one of the greatest works of all time, while fully deaf. I could never tire of listening to Beethoven's 9th Symphony because it's Beethoven's 9th Symphony, a masterpiece.

    Blargh, gah, wtf: Jays 7, Twins 6
  12. Squirrel
    Was that what was said? Or speculation? Im hoping that Maeda replaces Winder
  13. Squirrel
    I don’t think they’ve devolved. I think they throw harder than ever before, and now we are seeing the other side of that … that they can’t go as deep as they regularly did because of the physical toll on their bodies.
  14. Squirrel
    Lol! Great reference … if we were still playing in the Metrodome, I’d give you the comeback of ‘There’s no place like Dome’
  15. Squirrel
    What about Gallo? Sounds like Gallo will come off the IL first and that will be the swap there. DFA Kep for Buxton then. But how do you get Wallner up? Trade Gallo? Not sure I want an OF of Wallner, Taylor and Larnach … but maybe? Send Castro down? Trade or release Solano?
  16. Squirrel
    I like these moves and feel they should have been done in some manner during the off season. Better late than never, I guess. Has Maeda been working in relief at all? I haven’t been following. And I’d find another BP arm … Thielbar for Winder might be enough. But who goes when Polanco comes back? And when Buxton comes back?
  17. Squirrel
    Enough now. You have hammered at this enough and I already told you to move on.
  18. Squirrel
    We’ve been told that Duran, De Leon and Stewart were all unavailable. That isn’t me speculating, that’s what was said. Morán and Jax already pitched. Maybe Jax could have pitched a second inning, but you still have to get through the 9th. I’m not convinced that either Lopez or Winder would be better and it’s hindsight to claim it would have worked out. The manager is working with what he has been given. The blame, if you are blaming, is on the FO for not paying any attention to the BP in the off season and keeping Pagán on the roster. Or blame the players for not getting the DP, or not getting the runner in from 3rd. While many moves Rocco makes perplexes me, today’s game was just not one of them.
  19. Squirrel
    Yeah. Winder called up when he went back on the IL with an oblique strain
  20. Squirrel
    That’s a great way to look at it. Thanks. And take yourself to the DQ for that most excellent response 🙂
  21. Squirrel
    Still, if your only reliable relievers are down, that really points a finger at how poorly constructed the BP is .., I’m tripling down on the FO being to blame for this 🙂
  22. Squirrel
    What does ‘down’ mean? Sick? Sore? Unavailable? What? If we were that short then I double down on the FO not rostering a better BP.
  23. Squirrel
    Win some, lose some. Someone on this site proclaimed we were going to get swept by both the Rays and the Jays. Well, part of that is true. This won’t be a popular post but I don’t put the blame on Rocco. Sure he could have gone with someone else, but I also don’t think it was wrong to give Pagán the 7, 8, and 9 hitter to get out. He’s had more good outings than bad this year. But I do blame the FO for saying they weren’t focussing on the BP at all during the off season. The manager can’t pitch the same guy every game. The FO needs to give the manager better options.
  24. Squirrel
    This thread was a GREAT thread up until a couple pages ago. Now y’all are just bickering to bicker. Losing sucks. Agree to disagree on the how’s and why’s and move back to your corners and take a breath. Game threads are not here for you to crap all over the place.
  25. Squirrel
    The first part was lots of fun. This aftermath … not so much
