    Ugh..... This is one reason I would call up RP faster
  2. Mike Sixel
    We did a covers list on Facebook. Some of you participated. I still think it is this one.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jadvt7CbH1o

    Sure would like to see some RP promotions soon
  4. Mike Sixel
    This is awesome. Great move

    Still can't win elections.... Let me know if the voters ever vote Democrat. I may move to Europe at this point.

    Certain Cueto opts out, unless hurt. So, he's either a rental, or injured. High risk for sure.

    No one is anti RBI, people are anti using RBI as one of the best ways to say if a hitter is good or not, since they are very situational. A routine fly ball to the OF can be an RBI, or not, but it was still an out that the player had little control over.

    For those interested in trading, there are some interesting stats in this post: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-yankees-and-the-stanford-marshmallow-experiment/ I don't agree with the premise that only succeeding 25 of 70 times means never try. It means teams are probably spending too much capital in trades, because they aren't properly assessing odds. OTOH, that's the market price of making trades, so maybe they are...

    Grande and team have offered to pay for the funerals. I believe. Nice touch by her and team.

    I, uh, don't know what to say to someone that doesn't like seasons 3-6 of TNG, frankly. I am with you on House of Cards. No redeeming characters at all.....and too serious. I like Kendrik, but like you, not a huge hip hop guy in general. We won't agree on Mumford and Sons at all. Great hooks, very good/great guitar work. Good harmonies.

    everyone's success is based on process, skill, and luck. In Eddie's case, the process is terrible. You can't count on luck, therefore you need to try to figure out if his skill can overcome his approach. That's what I meant to say, but failed. IMO, no way his skill makes up for his process. He's not that skilled, imo. But yes, he's good enough (as I said in teh first post I made) that he should start until/unless Wade or Granite force their hands. Or next year.
  12. Mike Sixel
    It worked, but, um, that's like praising a drunk driver for getting home safely....IMO, of course.

    Movies: Most stupid comedies, just not my genre. TV: Any zombie show, isn't it the same episode every week? While I can like Big Bang, I can't see how it is this highly rated. Do people like CSI NO? Any hospital show that isn't ER, probably. Music: Hmmmm.....tough. I can usually like a song by most anyone. I'll have to think about this Oh, wait, Springsteen. I feel like i hsould like him, and if you recall a game thread a month or so ago, I streamed his hits, and rated them. DON'T GET IT.

    Not sure we can be friends......

    Really? Huh. Seems like Kepler has been the platoon partner lately, but that might just be confirmation bias in action.
  16. Mike Sixel
    because they are ahead and want defense out there, would be my guess, and my reason also.
  17. Mike Sixel
    This is where an investment in actual RPs, or calling up Burdi, would have been helpful, I am predicting.

    Eric 2:45 The Twins came into the season "rebuilding" and are surprising most everyone. Are we getting to the point (June 1) where they're no longer considered rebuilding and should change their strategy to buyers? Dan Szymborski 2:45 I don't think they ought to be there yet.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Mmm Bacon 2:33 Berrios looking good so far today, is he a legit potential ace for the suprising 1st place Twins and how does he change the way they approach the trade market, if at all? Dan Szymborski 2:34 I think he has a lot of upside. I told people not to panic about last year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    He cant rest, that's Kepler's job. Sigh.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Is that a lot?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Another reason it will be hard to game the system: two other teams have 2nd picks before the Twins do.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs generally puts current and future value grades on players. In the top x write ups, he talks about probabilities in words. If people think prospect lists there and BA don't include that, they must be reading different lists than I am.
  24. Mike Sixel
    The approach plus luck produces the results. If he can't/won't change his approach, you are counting nearly 100% on luck for him to have value compared to other LFers. Counting on luck seems like a bad strategy to me.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Is it true he is inconsistent? He has always swung at too many pitches he can't hit, and he has always walked to little, and he's always played good defense. What part is inconsistent year over year? He should be the starter this year, but if I'm the FO, I'm very interested in Wade and Granite for sure, because Eddie has shown not growth in his approach, in year three now.
