  1. Anywho... The punchline better not be "Your neighbor!"
  2. True story, my neighbor knocked on my door as I was reading this... ...I thought that I had reached the point of too much Scotch already...
  3. BRING ON THE JOKES!!! Where's @USAFChiefwhen we need, er, would appreciate his presence?
  4. LET... LET... I can't say it... LET THERE BE... MMMMMAAAATTTHHH!!!!!!
  5. Sure, but shutting him down just to shut him down for 2023 and shutting him down because he's truly going to do further injury are two different things.
  6. It's not a strawman. It's not even an argument, it's a question. You stated in your own post that a hip strain or an aggregation of a sore hip kept him out 8 days in July. I simply asked how you, or anyone else at this point, know that this isn't the same thing. And the OPs point was to shut him down regardless. If he has a true hip strain, you stated that he'd be out longer than the 10 days anyway so everyone looking to have him shut down would likely get their wish. But, if he's not able to play due to injury, I simply stated that that isn't the same thing as just shutting him down regardless. It's shutting him down because he's unable to play. Two different things.
  7. How do you know this isn't the same thing that kept him out for those 8 days in July? Shutting him down because he's unable to play is quite different than just shutting him down to save him for 2023.
  8. That does matter, and this appears to be a separate issue from the lingering knee. The Guardians and Twins still play 8 games against each other the rest of the way. So, in order for them to be out of it in my mind, they'd have to be more than 8 games out. I don't see that happening. Not in this division.
  9. Shutting Buxton down is folding the season. As abyssal as the offense has been with him, it doesn't take much imagination to see what it'll be without him. If they wouldn't shut him down earlier to deal with his lingering issues, doing it now doesn't make much sense if the goal is still a playoff push. And if the goal wasn't a playoff push in the first place, why wasn't he shut down earlier?
  10. Really bad time for the bats to go silent for a series. And it ain't going to get any easier! They needed to make hay during this past week or so, and they didn't do it.
  11. Context is needed here. As others have noted, the upper tier of the prospects are now producing with the big league club. That said, hopefully those prospects on the IL can return and produce that they can develop and back fill the roster next year.
  12. I don't really disagree with any of this, but I also don't disagree with bringing in Lopez to finish the game. I think that's what he was brought in to do, so I find it odd that that is questioned to such a degree. Especially when he got the job done.
  13. I know the context. The other school of thought is that you can now use Duran again tomorrow.
  14. They traded for a closer. Why would they not use him accordingly?
  15. I love it when a plan comes together.
  16. I appreciate sourced material... especially when it comes to food...
  17. They still set the franchise record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched though, didn't they? Didn't they need 6.1 today?
  18. Especially with as good as Theilbar has been of late.
  19. How unfortunate for them.
  20. That sounds quite good... Glad I already ate though.
