    I don’t find it boring. But you obviously do, so why watch?
  2. Squirrel
    Yeah, I read that, too, the next day after I posted his message above. I can’t even get past one, let a,one four

    It’s an athletic event not a Broadway show. I’m not sure what you found boring. Maddeningly frustrating, yes, but I don’t find it boring, even when the offense is so what it is,

    Underperformance I put 95% on the players.

    Please keep to topic. The Sports Bar is a great place to discuss the state of cities related to crime. While an easy tangent, we’ve learned through the years these easy tangents go awry quickly. Please keep your comments directly related to baseball discussion

    Ober will be up to START not be in the pen. They have an open spot Sunday, and I'm guessing he comes up? And either Maeda to the IL or Headrick down
  7. Squirrel
    Sounds like Kyle Farmer will be back soon, too ... for Castro?
  8. Squirrel
    Ah ... was just going to ask where you saw this because I wasn't finding it in the 'usual' places ...
  9. Squirrel
    That was my assumption as well
  10. Squirrel
    I see this autocorrect all the time ... assuming it's an auto-correct

    I think when Winder is ready, and he appears to be close, he will be long relief, and/or relief in some capacity. It was the role he was going to fill last season until we had too many injuries to our starting rotation. And given his shoulder/injury issues, I don't see him destined to be a starter at this point. But ... this is just my opinion and based on nothing but it's just what I think will be. As for Ober, Varland and RSW, they will get their opportunities to start, either injury replacement or as an occasional 6th starter to give the rotation an extra day here and there. And, I see that Sunday's game, the pitcher is listed as 'tbd', and that would be Ober's day to start in St. Paul (I think), will be be inserted there? Of course, some of this will depend on Maeda, if he winds up on the IL or if they will wait and see. IF Maeda goes on the IL, I think Ober is up in his place. Headrick I think gets swapped out for Winder or Sands, and that will likely be the rotation there between the Twins BP and AAA.

    Thank you for the input. Is always confusing, this helps clarify the clarification.
  13. Squirrel
    Gordon wouldn't be backups there, too? Or Solano? I mean ... when Gallo is back up, Solano isn't playing first, so ... Castro is expendable. imho.
  14. Squirrel
    @FlyingFinn ... I know you probably have it figured out now, but here's a primer 🙂
  15. Squirrel
    Well, that changes things ... I had thought he might stay on the 26-man because having no options remaining. Glad to know they now have the flexibility to send him down when the returnees arrive. That said ... Gordon needs to find a way to figure it out, and soon.
  16. Squirrel
    I didn’t know Garlick did, too,
  17. Squirrel
    Yeah, I think he will stay until all those with options are sent down first and/or someone gets traded or jettisoned.
  18. Squirrel
    This is happening today. Both were in the lineup last night and are both scheduled to play today
  19. Squirrel
    And when will Farmer be returning?
  20. Squirrel
    This news is promising that decisions may come soon …
  21. Squirrel
    Well, his homerun the other night was useful, but would rather not have a need for him on the 26-man
  22. Squirrel
    You know, if you planned it right, you could road-trip to Cedar Rapids, catch his last game there, then continue onto Wichita and catch him there. And you could write about it and call it ‘Confessions of a Hit and Run Tourist - Day Nineteen’.

    I was reading elsewhere and wish I had the link, but the theory was the build up of rosin and sweat and rosin and sweat can create a ‘sticky substance’ situation. I think that’s why the umpires had him wash his hands, because a legal substance, overused, was having an affect of an illegal substance. But after being questioned a second time about it, and then letting him continue to pitch, without washing his hands again, I do question that.
  24. Squirrel
    Twice

    We may see a trade or two at the deadline, in order to make room, if a couple of players don’t step up (Kepler and Gordon). A lot depends on where the team stands and what their needs are and who will take these guys, if, as I said, they don’t get it going.
