    There just weren't any SP or RP available, or the Twins had nothing to trade anyone wanted, or something like that....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Effective coaching visit!
  3. Mike Sixel
    Pretty sure that post was talking about hot streaks, not the whole year, but I could be reading it wrong.
  4. Mike Sixel
    It's not my job to know the answer to that.....and I posted comments about that above. But no one has said how they'll add pitching next year, when asked, if not Rosario, how...
  5. Mike Sixel
    Nor are there enough pitchers, not remotely close.
  6. Mike Sixel
    good point!
  7. Mike Sixel
    I've never understood the "play all the backups at once" strategy this team seems to employ sometimes. I'm sure their only regret is that they couldn't get Grossman in the OF too!
  8. Mike Sixel
    Who's lauding and getting excited about Escobar?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Verlander had a pretty good start last night, but Gee / Slegers are just fine....
  10. Mike Sixel
    That's one heck of an OF......good luck!
  11. Mike Sixel
    so, do what to fix the pitching, then? Just keep trotting out Gee, Turley, Tepesch, Santiago, et. al.? The mistake in those trades was that they traded both of them, and didn't have a lot of other good OFers either. Right now, the Twins have probably got three legit OF, plus Wade and Granite as backups....and they have ESan and Berrios for SPs signed next year.....plus Mejia. That's it. You need 7-10 SPs....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Well, not everyone agrees he has some tragic flaw......I don't get how people can argue he's super awesome for the Twins, but has no value to any other team. Also, teams are built on context. Some teams have lots of minor league talent, but are missing major league talent. Some teams are the opposite. Some need hitting, some need pitching. This thought that somehow the Twins just are so unlucky that every other team can make trades, but somehow the Twins just can't? Silly, imo.

    Congrats to them for a good month, but that is one depressing list of guys not likely to start for the Twins for more than a few days here and there...
  14. Mike Sixel
    the pitcher can't move around either. Those two are "locked" in a battle, everyone else gets to move around based on what those two are likely to do.
  15. Mike Sixel
    How? They are going to outbid the other teams for one of hte three good FAs? They will suddenly start trading prospects? How will the pitching get fixed? As for Rosario......I've fluctuated back and forth on him over the years. He always seemed like a natural hitter to me, but until this year he's shown no patience. He's a legit MLB player, the question is, is he more valuable to the Twins as a player here, or in acquiring other player(s). Without knowing the offers, I can't answer that. But, if they could get 2 minor league pitchers less than 2 years away that they believe in, I'd be tempted....
  16. Mike Sixel
    You asked what I thought....I thought they should be public and own it. Or don't do it. In the grand scheme of things, it is much ado about nothing, other than some players might not like this...
  17. Mike Sixel
    No idea. Probably, I'd guess. But how would I know? But then just say it in public, if in private isn't working, and they think going public will.
  18. Mike Sixel
    They should come out publicly, rather than hide behind a columnist. Or, they should handle it internally. That would be a good start. Also, as Souhan said, he's an opinionist, not a reporter. So, when I read his stuff (rarely anymore), I assume it's his opinion, not reporting. He himself said he's not a reporter. So, what am I to believe, that it's his opinion, or the team's (or some members of the team)? I'm certainly not arguing they shouldn't be concerned, but Souhan is trying to have it both ways, in terms of being a reporter or not. And the team is trying to shame him in the paper (if they weren't trying to publicly shame him, it would handled in private, the only reason you try this path is to get him to feel embarrassed). So, just be honest about your fat shaming (that's a loaded phrase....).
  19. Mike Sixel
    According to him, he's not reporting. He's a columnist, not a reporter. He made that quite clear in his column where he needlessly ripped Perkins....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Health, we need to hope for health....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious why souhan pointed out how cowardly people were, while doing the bidding of anonymous sources that refused to be named while calling out a team mate....
  22. Mike Sixel
    The OP is entirely too polite and mature to be on the internet. It must be fake.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Broken Sword got better as I went, but I don't think anyone needs to read it. Good/meh/not great. Just finished The Fuller's Apprentice. If you've read a lot of fantasy, it will feel very familiar and comfortable, but I still enjoyed it enough to buy the next book. She's an independent author on Amazon, so it's not pricey.
  24. Mike Sixel
    why? I don't see any harm to the game, and it was entertaining I'd guess.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Twins win tonight, no problem. 8-2. book it.
