    As many of us were hoping for ...

    Remind me next September ... maybe we can meet up in the park and clink a beer ... hopefully because the Twins will have clinched by then! 🙂
  3. Squirrel
    Yep ... why I tune in regularly instead of just ... whenever ... it's a very, very nice change.

    If I get to the games in Chicago (work will be crazier than usual next week, so not sure I can manage it), if either comes in, I'll flash my phone light ... lol ...

    Just to clarify, Rocco can only do what Rocco is given. I hope the FO is watching and listening and working to make necessary changes to the roster. Our BP, for me, anyway, was iffy to start. I'm happy with the ones who have performed, but, it's time to change it up with those who haven't. Hopefully Winder is up soon and Moran back to AAA. Pagan ... feel sorry for him, but I didn't think they should have kept him and I still think they shouldn't.

    My first thought was to say, ‘Hush, you are jinxing things!’
  7. Squirrel
    I know. We got swept by them before. oh, wait …
  8. Squirrel
    I actually have. But the others ... no comment 😉

    I work with a couple of smug Yankee fans, What annoys me most when they try to say something to me about ‘owning’ the Twins, is how much one of them doesn’t know about the game or their own team. And he’s the worst of them.

    This is a transaction thread ONLY ... please start a separate thread for discussion. Thank you! (And keep to topic!)

    He threw 107 pitches. I don’t think he wanted to pitch the 8th. He seemed really appreciative that he was allowed and able to get out of the 7th, imo, from hearing him speak post-game.
  12. Squirrel
    Yes

    I was one who wanted to sign Donaldson and was glad they did. At the time, I think it was a good move and a good signing. The team needed an injection of energy and fight I thought Donaldson could bring. It didn’t quite gel, for whatever reason I’m not going to assume because I didn’t hear of anything while he was with the Twins. And at the time of the trade, I was very unsure of what we gave up and what we got in return. Where I stand now is I’m still glad they signed him, sorry it didn’t work out, but glad they moved on. We are currently, imo, in a better place without him.

    I think I read that info from maybe @stringer bell or @ashbury?
  15. Squirrel
    .62 is a really fun number!
  16. Squirrel
    That actually was changed.
  17. Squirrel
    Yeah, totally agree ... of all things, I never thought they'd have this 'problem' with the starting rotation! But not moving Ober back to St. Paul, then we are short a BP arm ... hopefully it won't be needed today or tomorrow ...
  18. Squirrel
    Pitching roster ... what happens now with Ober? Keep him up, exchange him for a BP arm?
  19. Squirrel
    And I just saw this ... so ... Maeda will pitch on Wednesday ...
  20. Squirrel
    And they are using him in the outfield OVER Aaron Hicks
  21. Squirrel
    Okay. So, you are okay with another team claiming him and we let him go for nothing? And why are we talking about Gordon in a thread on Jovani Moran? I don’t understand this segue
  22. Squirrel
    I haven’t really paid attention to the numbers tbh. Personally, I think our 2019 season has created the wrong kind of expectations in regards to what is entertaining. While fun to watch a team hit tons of home runs, I find interest in a lot of other aspects of the game and want that balance. But for me being disappointed and frustrated with the hitting and play on the field and the outcome is different from being bored. Maybe what you are bored with is being disappointed too often. Oh the ennui. But isn’t baseball kind of … well, there just isn’t a lot of action sometimes. A great play here and there, a burst of something, then a lot of waiting for another great play and a burst of something. That is kind of the nature of the sport. But I still don’t find it boring, I’m sorry that you do. 🙂

    I’m not trying to convince you because it’s subjective. I don’t find it boring. But I also don’t watch every game because of my schedule and life things, but when I do, I’m not bored. I’m disappointed and frustrated when they lose games, especially so because their offense is as bad as it is, but no, I’m not bored. If I were, I’d turn it off and do something else. That, for me, is the best way to register complaint to the FO for a product that is unacceptable … don’t watch and don’t spend money on it until it is. But, that said, not every player is going to be Duran. If you are expecting that, then I think you could be bored for the rest of your baseball watching days. I will add the pitch clock has helped immensely in this regard.
  24. Squirrel
    Lol. So don’t watch. You have a choice.
  25. Squirrel
    So don’t watch. It’s that simple. If you aren’t entertained as you expect to be, turn it off and find something else. I do do that from time to time. Yes, I find the offense frustrating, disappointing and maddening. More so because the potential is there and the players themselves are underperforming, I’m always hopeful it’s different and disappointed when it’s not. But I am not bored.
