    That, or ... all's well that ends well?
  2. Squirrel
    yes

    You know … if Sano hadn’t run to 2nd, Urshela wouldn’t have taken off for 3rd, and we would be sitting with bases loaded, one run behind. Given the Twins history of scoring with bases loaded, we’d have scored, at most, one run and we’d have been sitting with a tie game going to the 10th. More likely, no runs and a loss. So, given that, it was good Sano and Urshela goofed on base running, ultimately forcing the errant throw by Haase into left field allowing not only the tying run to score but the winning run, too

    Yeah … maybe he’s a secret agent for the Twins

    You could choose not to watch if it's so upsetting to you.

    One of my favorite movie composers ?

    And Kepler seems to be connecting again. And while Correa hasn’t found his bat yet, wow, can that dude throw a baseball. And we win even though Bux didn’t get a hit .., it can’t always be on him.
  8. Squirrel
    Wow … we win, granted, not in the greatest of fashions, thanks to the Tigers’ error, but sheesh, guess there is nothing good to be said about the game

    Don't forget to join us in tonight's game thread once the game gets underway!

    You completely missed the point. Like, completely. Astudillo is NOT a good catcher not even close, so much not even close that the Twins and his current team do t think he is either. Losing Astudillo has no bearing on this discussion, because he’s not a catcher. I’d rather have our current backup options than Astudillo.
  12. Squirrel
    No, not one iota. What I wish was that they hadn't traded Rortvedt, too. I get trading Garver, but both? No. Astudillo is NOT a good catcher. We are better with Godoy or Sisco than Astudillo, even if he was such a fan favorite. Frankly, I'd rather have Esco back for catching depth, that's how much Astudillo is not a good catcher, imo, and in fact, the Twins and his current team don't even really consider him a catcher at all.

    He does come to ST as a special coach, I believe (or has) ... I've seen him there ... but I don't know how much actual, in detail coaching he does. Someone closer in might have a better answer. @Seth Stohs?
  14. Squirrel
    Yeah, I made that observation, too, earlier in thread. Time will tell, but they have really been hit with the injury bug, along with less than stellar play. Listening to the White Sox recap with Ozzie and Frank Thomas … was interesting. A year ago Ozzie was saying, ‘Wow, these aren’t the Twins I remember’ and he’s close to that with the Sox after losing 7 in a row.
  15. Squirrel
    Well, also … I think we are forgetting who was coming up to bat. Loading the bases for Arraez wasn’t necessarily a good idea, either. Arraez hits a single, two runs score. That was perhaps the higher likelihood than another Bux bomb. And Buxton did have those 3 Ks from earlier in the game. I don’t think it was indefensible to pitch to Buxton, with your best closer on the mound. They decided to pitch to Bux instead of Luis. And LaRusso just got beat, is all. It happens. But boy, am I glad it did!
  16. Squirrel
    I think everything was defensible since we won. If Baldelli gets credit for losing games, he gets credit for winning them, imo. But overall, I think it’s a combined effort between everyone. as for the day off, I think this explains it. He didn’t just have one, and he’s had fewer rest than others, on a shorter ST than others. And this day off today along with yesterday sets up 13 days in a row of play, so, good for Baldelli to be thinking ahead for a long stretch of play, especially since we will be losing two players come May 1st

    Same with my Mom, again back in the mid-60s and then some. One year she actually kept a score card for every game. Wish she had kept that … it would have been interesting to see. She lives in Florida now but still enjoys going to a game when I visit, either for ST or to see a Miracle (now Mussels) game. She said growing up on their farm, long before the Twins existed, she followed the Cardinals on the radio. There may have also been some kind of affiliate or minor league team nearby, but that story is foggy.

    Actually ... Garlick pinch hit for Larnach ... then Celestino pinch ran for Garlick and Celestino stayed in the game

    Stepped in and up. Yep, good to see and hear
  21. Squirrel
    Sano had a 496-er in 2019 against the ChiSox (according to a quick google search ... someone else may be able to confirm or deny this)
  22. Squirrel
    I don't recall Buxton ever being this animated, showing how much of a leader he is. Shades of Kirby's 'jump on my back' ... it seems like either he's just really, finally, coming into his own, or what? But it seems he's found a missing component
  23. Squirrel
    I don't know yet if this is how the Sox's year will end ... but their beginning certainly reminds me of the Twins last year ... high expectations, then injuries and illness and under/poor performance just derailed them. The Sox seem to be going that route this season when their expectations are high
  24. Squirrel
    I mean, I post a lot of links and photos of shoes in game threads … ?

    i can’t like this article enough! Thank you! You should encourage all your women friends to participate on TD, if they don’t already. The forums and blogs await! Game threads in particular. It amazes me with all the women fans out there, female fans don’t make up half the participants here ... yet. I’m not much of a Twitter person, but have participated on message boards and websites for years and usually I’ve been one of two or three women. It’s nice seeing those numbers grow. It hasn’t always been an easy experience, for various reasons, but for the love of the game, and having others to talk Twins with, since I live out of state, I stick with it. So, send your friends here! It's a great community! Me, circa 1966? Forget the toy guns (not sure how or why that was a thing), but look at the sweatshirt I'm wearing ... 1965 American League champs Kinda wish I still had those sunglasses, though.
