    His administrative assistants have always been men, or he's never been in his office with her? That is almost inconceivable, really. I have no issue with this, other than it's kind of sad that he (or an entire group of religious, apparently) think this needs to be their rule. My wife owns a small, 1 person, business. If she could never meet with a potential male client 1:1, we'd be broke.

    First time I've seen it. It sure looks like a popup swing at first. Man is strong.

    Kyle 12:09 Small sample size, sure, but Buxton hasn't looked great at the plate. Any reason for optimism that he'll make progress on the contact issues? Eno Sarris 12:10 I think he's just going to have blistering months and long poor stretches where it looks like he can't hit anything. I don't like his hitting mechanics. Defense will keep him on the field. Connie Mac N' Cheese 12:12 Are we seeing the dawn of the Sano breakout this season? Eno Sarris 12:13 I love it. I don't know what his strikeout rate will look like, but I've been saying that he has 40+ HR power and just needs to stay healthy and is too young to call injury prone.

    They did, but it's secret, so you'll never actually know what that rule is...

    I think this is my favourite section, btw: GM: (sarcastically) Would you prefer 14 pitchers? (immediately regrets opening mouth) Manager: Awesome! We really are on the same page!! I always knew I liked you!
  6. Mike Sixel
    Agreed on that. Punto was much better defensively. I can't recall the hitting one way or the other.
  7. Mike Sixel
    It does appear Rosario is hurt, but I think Molly said DanSan would play today before yesterday' game even started.... I think it is likely Grossman is a better hitter and OF than DanSan. I'm not a huge fan of Grossman in the field, but I don't think he's as bad as he was last year (based on previous year's data), and it appears he can avoid outs pretty well relative to many others on this roster.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Based on what? Certainly not WAR.....based on what do you make that statement? His hitting? His base stealing percent? His defense? I mean, I have plenty of data that says he is in that range.

    Van, you know, you could have linked to video.....I can't at work...
  10. Mike Sixel
    How so? He is one of the 5 worst players in MLB the last two years? What should the "narrative" be? But yes, I agree with your first sentence.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Like it or not, DSan is going to get starts. I don't understand it, but it is going to happen.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Not about the Twins, but Fangraphs has added new team pages, pretty cool stuff.... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/introducing-team-pages/
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'll say what I always say, take or leave DrNeau, but there are new people on the site you own/run every day. Some of them have not participated in a Mauer discussion. Also, if you don't want to be in a Mauer discussion, don't come to the thread. There are clearly some people having a discussion now....
  14. Mike Sixel
    gonna get worse....
  15. Mike Sixel
    your accusing me and psuedo of being kool aid drinking, Twins' defending, posters? good luck.
  16. Mike Sixel
    wut? I'd rather a bunch of 1 inning stints happen right now. when would you have brought in a guy to pitch multiple innings?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'll try again: I was responding to a post asking what other player would get ripped for walking in a run, and not swinging, like Mauer. I pointed out Votto is all the time. Nothing more or less than that. Did you read the quote I was responding to? It has nothing to do with anything, other than fans' responses, which was the discussion occurring.
  18. Mike Sixel
    And yet the fans rip him for walking, and not swinging, when the pitches are bad.....that was the point.
  19. Mike Sixel
    KLAW talked about Jay for some length today. Mostly he is surprised that the new leadership didn't see him in person some before deciding, and in general that it happened so quickly. Not ripping them, just surprised.
  20. Mike Sixel
    On his FB live today, KLAW said Greene was the best prospect in the draft (right now).
  21. Mike Sixel
    great post!
  22. Mike Sixel
    Everyone is now using statcast for stats. I THINK that includes "radar" guns at stadiums. Previously they used pitchfx. So, not really sure if the "guns" are different or not. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/about-all-these-velocity-spikes/
  23. Mike Sixel
    ganador! which is really close to Gondor, btw...apropos of nothing.
  24. Mike Sixel
    And that's with the new statcast measurements, which are 1-2 MPH faster than last year....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Huh. Sano at first and Gimenez at 3rd? That is, unexpected.
