    You wouldn't know from the title: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/let-him-play/

    They are two good looking women though, I'm sure that's a big part of the appeal....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, totally intentional. And you are such a better geek than me....

    Ben 10:50 The twins young players seem interesting, and the starting of a solid core, am I overrating Sano, Buxton, Kepler and on the way guys like Berrios, Gordon etc. ? Jeff Sullivan 10:50 It's really easy to see the upside in big-league youth. It's not hard to imagine how the Twins could get relevant in a hurry. But, just look at where Buxton is today. He's a disaster.

    That's what I always loved about Bonds. He didn't swing unless it was 2 strikes, or it was a pitch he WANTED to swing at.

    that poster is so awesome for the curves on Fischer, and the buff Hamel
  8. Mike Sixel
    agreed on all counts.

    I skipped all the snarky Buxton comments/questions....so far today. Ben 10:43 Obviously early, but is this the Miguel Sano everyone has been waiting for, is a .270/350/.500 slash line realistic? Jeff Sullivan 10:43 I'll wait for him to face some better pitching, but one thing I like is the increase in zone swings without an increase in chases. Speaks to how good his eye really is

    thanks for the update!

    Heh.... What I meant was, sometimes guys play a certain way, that is not expected. Sometimes they surprise us, and keep doing it. Right now, he is doing that. I'd rather bet on him continuing (especially given the options) than assuming he'll start to be bad.

    Not a lot there? Within another hour or two, 10000000 posts will be on the internet examining why the ships are trailing red smoke, and not blue or green or black.....let alone what "balance" means. That balance line in the first SW film has really messed up the mythology for me. Is it balance we need, or good we need? What is balance? And no, I'm not going down the rabbit hole of the internet on that today. Not. Happenin'. I hope.

    i got goosebumps! plus, it is damn cold here in the building today for some reason....could be that.

    Its' the same coaches and scouts.The only delta is the two at the top. Berrios is too good for the minors. He might work on a thing or two, but no one will know anything until he's been in the majors for 2 years. IMO, he should be in MN as soon as Mejia has his next bad start.
  15. Mike Sixel
    The same ones that said he was ready last year?
  16. Mike Sixel
    And, i really want to see this movie.
  17. Mike Sixel
    And, he's coming home. So, no golfing on Saturday I guess. Probably means a good restaurant tonight after he gets off the bus. Hopefully we can play on Sunday.

    yesterday: Sean: First, thank you for all of the work. I can’t wait to read your book. Second, I am assuming you have seen Buxton this year. He looks awful at the plate. How do the Twins and Buxton fix this? Keith Law: I said on BBTN that I think it’s become mental. He’s getting killed low and away, and I’m sure the Twins have told him to try to lay off those pitches, but apparently the fear of striking out has overtaken him. If he can’t make that adjustment in the majors, he’ll have to go back to triple-A to clear his head and work very specifically on that problem. A ton of his swings and misses were in that part of the zone, on all pitch types.5

    future business partner?
  20. Mike Sixel
    unreal numbers.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Well, if I knew if my youngest son was coming home or not.....but I think a winery visit is happening. I have no idea. We don't celebrate most religious holidays anymore, and we have little family out here (and they don't celebrate religious holidays, mostly).
  22. Mike Sixel
    I can't believe that show is still on tv.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I really prefer day games for game threads....have fun everyone!
  24. Mike Sixel
    IIRC, it is close to late August. He's a pitcher, who has number 2/3 upside. They shouldn't be worried about service time for a pitcher.

    You know, Joey Votto has decided to be more aggressive this year. Great hitters can learn new tricks. I have never believed Mauer was interested in change. that's been my issue. I have no idea if it is true or not, but it sure appears true. Now, some might say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". That's about as a bad a philosophy as you can have. You should always be trying to be better. That is especially true of an aging athlete whose physical abilities are changing.
