    I smiled. I might be dead by then, though, so let's hope not.

    10 or so wins is my prediction for April.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Hence my question, thanks for the polite reply.

    Uh, which young pitchers are going to get a shot to stick or not? Other than Mejia and Haley (who they've all be admitted won't pitch much), which young pitchers are on the staff? 65 games? No way they only win 65 games (assuming reasonable health).

    Love the optimism. Not sure I share it, but he sure deserves 5-10 starts (once you decide to give him a shot) at this point.

    I think he was recently quoted on "overshifts" being some new thing he wanted to learn about, in his third year as a manager.....

    Wow, a blast from the past time name (well, it seems that way to me). Great writing, thank you. I loved the pork belly, btw. It's pretty much my go to food item (which might be why I'm not in the best shape of my life). I agree, the food is much better on paper than in the mouth, alas. Yes, the beer selection sucks compared to other places. Upsizing the beer is bad, people like 12 oz. It's a pretty obvious ploy to get money from the "I'll only have one" crowd, as you say.

    2020? We are now waiting for 2020? Wow. Sad.

    Unfortunately, you are really behind now.....I don't feel good about your long term chances. You might want to buy out at this point...
  10. Mike Sixel
    Park is almost 30, no.
  11. Mike Sixel
    You will start making money on 2018.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    We also heard the 25th roster spot doesn't matter recently...all the spots matter. All the games matter.
  13. Mike Sixel
    thanks for you insight, sir. Appreciated. Wish I could write off spring training trips!
  14. Mike Sixel
    sigh, bam! you are correct sir. ugh.

    Winning sells tickets, everything else is just side dressing. That's very clear from all the data out there. I don't know if they are planning to sell many tickets. it's actually the previous year's record that most predicts the current year's ticket sales.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I see you asked our questions! eagerly awaiting a reply. thanks for the find!
  17. Mike Sixel
    I never watch, and sometimes I have no idea what is going on in the threads, even though I can't recall any actual game discussions...
  18. Mike Sixel
    Trades, even promotions from within would count for me, if they weren't on the roster the previous year. But yes, there aren't many FAs that are young, and there will be less and less.
  19. Mike Sixel
    there go 2 Twins' wins.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Kind of like how boring it would be to hit the ball like the pro golfers....

    I was thinking another thought on RPs.... it is possible they have some major changes they want to make in what the RPs are doing, and they are going to implement that this year, meaning they need 1-3 months to get the guys "changed" to the new way, whatever that way is. That might be one reason to hold them all back from even having a chance. The risk, of course, is that these guys have achieved what success they have by doing something they way they do it now. But, given the lack of development here the last few years, that would be a risk I'd take if I was the FO. Of course, we have no idea if that's really true, just a theory I have.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Hmmm. You could be right, but I bet we wouldn't have to look hard to find players under 29 added to teams every off season. But, I could be wrong, and you could be right.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Not about the Twins, but some interesting stuff (as always) here: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/is-the-home-run-back-will-the-shift-ever-die-and-8-more-burning-baseball-questions/
  24. Mike Sixel
    Ya, me too. maybe we should go back 2 pages, and pretend this never happened.
  25. Mike Sixel
    this is why we can't have good things. the top college OF available swings and misses too much, the best hitter is a 1B only type, and the best pitcher is a HS RH....who is really tall....
