    Agreed. And he should be. Very hot.
  2. Mike Sixel
    actually, third time thru the order penalty doesn't require any fan knowledge .....it's just plainly there.
  3. Mike Sixel
    yes, thanks. that does help! and no more shots at D&D please....
  4. Mike Sixel
    so, never question the manager? Not sure I understand the post, frankly. Help me out.
  5. Mike Sixel
    ESan, and not even a thought about it. Juggle the rotation to make it so.... also, be quick with the hook, that's what 245 man bullpens are for....

    It would be soul crushing*for Hicks to have a great game and the Yankees to win because of him. *well, in terms of baseball rooting, I would never care that much about sports...
  7. Mike Sixel
    No. He is not young, he could get hurt next year, and you aren't saving much money..... There is no reason to sign him, unless you think you will get outbid for a mid-30s 1B who is league median in WAR, who is from MN, who probably wouldn't sign someplace else..... Who is paying a league median 1B more than the Twins will, who will be 35+?

    I don't "want to attach" meaning that isn't there. It's just not my personality. I misunderstood your post while reading it quickly while working. Sorry if it offended you.
  9. Mike Sixel
    ha, way to assume the worst ! Maybe I misunderstood you...because that's how I read what you said. Did you consider maybe this medium isn't great at understanding each other? That maybe I sincerely read your statement that way?

    A follow on from teh WSJ article on Buxton: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-byron-buxtons-glove-went-from-good-to-great/

    so far, they look competent on the disaster front. Let's see if they have the stamina to fix Puerto Rico (and I'd not blame Trump one way or the other if they do/don't).
  12. Mike Sixel
    100% this. There is zero reason to sign him to an extension right now. He's not going to sign with another team as a FA after next year.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    ha, no offense. I think this happened a few years ago also. I was just letting you know. And yes, I'm more interested in teh Twins' hopes right now for sure!
  14. Mike Sixel
    Aren't most games close, though? What matters is winning. And, as we saw right before the deadline, and again this week, is that that is unlikely against good teams. They've made progress this year, but need pitching.
  15. Mike Sixel
    "other than the time he had surgery for an injury, and the injury this year, he hasn't been injured"......seems like an odd argument. Other than the 999 times I struck out, I was a pretty good hitter.... I have no idea what the Twins or Sano think. Me? I'm a bit worried about his healthiness. Not a lot worried, but a bit.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I read this as you agreeing with me....he's good enough to be a backup QB, but isn't one because he would be a distraction....not because he's not good enough.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I remember that game.
  18. Mike Sixel
    this is in the vikings forum......
  19. Mike Sixel
    and yet for years, people ignored him, so it wasn't all that intuitive apparently. Which in hindsight is weird....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I agree with this. The media and fans have decided, not here but in the NFL in general, that this is a distraction, and hitting your kid with sticks is not. As witnessed by AP being on a roster (as a #3 RB), and CK not being on one. It's just reality.
  21. Mike Sixel
    you are saying that looking at aging curves is SSS? That looking at his body of work over the course of more than the handful of starts for the Twins is SSS? huh. ok.
  22. Mike Sixel
    or, we looked at the entire year of outcomes, not just a handful in MN......and also looked at his age, and aging curves....so, no, not SSS. Not even slightly true.
  23. Mike Sixel
    What a jaded view of what he's doing. If he had just shut up, and let the world be less than he wants it to be (just what most of politicians and the wealthy want from workers), he'd be a starter or well paid back up some place. This is no different than how Ali was treated, some 50 years ago. 50 years, and we still think that people who peacefully protest for what they think is right are bad people....
  24. Mike Sixel
    538 on the Twins: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-minnesota-twins-are-not-supposed-to-be-here/ they also have a great article on how people (and the media especially) struggle with probability, which seems to be the case on this site a lot....
  25. Mike Sixel
    but, but, they gave up the future!
