    I think it was Pops, yes. Was surprised how much I liked it.
  2. Mike Sixel
    They also aren't including women or minorities. Just old white men....

    I really enjoyed the champagne bar downtown, do you like it?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Where can I find the most interesting meal/experience for food?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Do locals do all the touristy stuff, or just tourists?
  6. Mike Sixel
    They aren't leaving Stewart off teh 40 man. I'll bet any amount of money on that, barring some kind of injury or attitude thing.

    No, it still doesn't make sense. Not to me. This is not a team on the verge of being champions, even if somehow 2 games over at the break. No.

    He's not a professional athlete right now. His routine includes college and lots of things that it won't include when this is his job. I'm just repeating what KLAW and others have typed, that pitchers have routines. Question.....if they don't need those routines, why do all the pitchers have the same routine?

    How long do people think ESan is going to be good? Extend him? Really?

    I am tired of winning this kind of useless trade. It is nice, but doesn't move the needle. I hope Danny becomes a good player, but it wasn't working here. Moving on from him is probably good, but it didn't fix any of the real problems.

    I Ha. No need to feel bad. I know who I work for, and I know the good and bad of it. It's my choice, and I work what tiny influence I have to help. Frankly, I want single payer.

    An entire article on Fangraphs deserves it's own thread, I guess.... But, it is an instagraphs post, so it's short! Very short. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/behold-the-twins-defensive-turnaround/

    Not sure that sorted much out, but it was a good read!
  14. Mike Sixel
    I think we just disagree on how close/much pitching they have right now. Literally not 1 pitcher has come up from the minors this year, and I'm not sure more than 1-2 did last year that are on this year's roster. They just don't have much pitching. Even when the finally call up Berrios, it won't be his first year. and yes, sometimes you have to take a step backward to go forward / around a barrier.
  15. Mike Sixel
    with what pitching? they have 1 SP right now they can count on. 1. Oh, and the bullpen is not good either.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Probably true, but picking 8th would be better than 14th.....and that's not really the point. the point is, I prefer trying to rebuild and admitting it to yourself, than trying to be not the worst team while doing so.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Gotta swing at the FB right down the heart of the plate in that situation. Not sure what to say about the other pitch, frankly.
  18. Mike Sixel
    who said fully reload? It's keeping a guy here that is only here for 1.5 more years that makes no sense, IMO.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Well, Sano is here not forever. The longer it takes the less useful his time here is. By quickly, I mean 2019, not this year or even next. And, losing means you have a shot at Harper or Strasburg....... I'm not a fan of "let's try to be respectable" as a strategy. Either try to WIN, or rebuild. Not saying I'm certainly correct, but I am hardly alone in this belief.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm hoping for a promotion after 2 more starts like this. He's just too good for A ball players at this point.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Working the middle strategy rarely works all that well, or quickly. In every business.
  22. Mike Sixel
    This. If this is truly an evaluation year, start evaluating. And, if you tell me they are doing that with him, Mejia, Melostakis, and Burdi in the minors, I assume you are arguing that the coaches and scouts are doing that (those being the same coaches and scouts that have produced so many awesome pitchers the last five years or so).
  23. Mike Sixel
    Ah, I missed any talk of them admitting he was one of the 5 best pitchers right now. That's what I get for only coming to TD for news, and even then not clicking every link.
  24. Mike Sixel
    You know this how? I mean, we don't know what their assessments are, or their plans are.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Plenty of "bad attitude" guys have been on winning teams over the years....plenty.
