    So, they just had no chance? I don't buy that. Stop giving away outs to start....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Wut? Why are players no longer pitching inside? Why are catchers moving? Why is complaining about a call entertaining to you? Why would the game be sterile? Lots of statements that I don't understand to be true at all.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I always thought mattingly and hrbek were a good comparison.... But not one of the best hitting catchers ever. No.
  4. Mike Sixel
    This is what you get when you invest and try to win, versus always building for the future. Maybe some year, maybe some year
  5. Mike Sixel
    Sigh. Investing in the bullpen, and trading for good pitching. Who would have thought that was a good idea? At least we have them a free out....
  6. Mike Sixel
    that's certainly all true. That's part of what makes him brave, not a coward or a victim. He's willing to stand up for what he thinks is right, even though it is costing him money. And he's being viscerated for doing that by a large populace, even though he's doing it peacefully, like they keep telling the people of St. Louis to do....

    1 game play in with the Angels.....Mejia vs Nolasco..... in a serious post....if the Angels had Meyer healthy....
  8. Mike Sixel
    where did Brock say, or even imply, analytics was the only thing that mattered?
  9. Mike Sixel
    ya, a lot there I didn't agree with. I just post them.....even ones I don't agree with.
  10. Mike Sixel
    someone posted that Buxton should be dumped, like, off the team?
  11. Mike Sixel
    agreed. though they did hire a new hitting coach, which I do think has had an effect.
  12. Mike Sixel
    in case you miss it in the other thread....a similar, though different take on "everyone helping: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-twins-are-slugging-their-way-to-october/

    meh. post 2013......but no biggie, I doubt many saw it if you didn't!
  15. Mike Sixel
    but people place different values on different things. Some like comfort, some like challenge. Some like consistency, some like new things. some like fast cars, some like fuel efficiency. They are literally placing a different value on different things....because they value them differently. So, of course they are different.
  16. Mike Sixel
    How long does he get to be GM, and fans are ok with thinking they can't compete in Pittsburgh? When do we get to expect success/greatness?
  17. Mike Sixel
    ok, they are rating systems that use different formulas and data, so of course they don't match. Better? You implied they are bad because they don't match. I am merely pointing out they don't match because they are literally measuring different things, so being different makes sense. They literally place a different value on different measures.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'll just say I find this to be way too black and white and an over simplification and exaggeration of what people believe. It's not either or, it's a dial.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Agreed 100% on this, on the Twins, Mauer is 100% the comeback player of the year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Uh, they are actual statistics, they are literally different statistics, so they should have different numbers. right?
  21. Mike Sixel
    His history, imo, shows you need someone in AAA that can play 3B, or maybe even a backup in MN....that might be Escobar, it might not. But you need someone.
  22. Mike Sixel
    or, that they have not actually put in the proper technology yet, since pitchfx is not meant for that work, and if you put in technology, it would be more advanced.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    That's a good question, but that wasn't how he came across. He didn't come across as a guy that believed in managing differently, but was focused on development. He came across in all his comments as a guy that was anti analytics and change in general.
  24. Mike Sixel
    that's what the minors are for, right?
  25. Mike Sixel
    This argument has merit for sure.
