    Teams showing just how hard it is to score w/o home runs.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    speechless. Truly. so much for taking personal responsibility....
  3. Mike Sixel
    All this.
  4. Mike Sixel
    The bar is so low....so very low.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Jurgens not practicing today. Sigh.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Just because it happened after doesn't mean it's because.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm amused, but not surprised, at the downvotes for this.....but if a great manager could take an 82 win team to a 92 win team, he'd be PAID AN INSANE AMOUNT OF MONEY......insane.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Tom Kelly's teams, outside the 2-4 great years, didn't win many games......I think people remember 87 and 91 and forget the bad years. Rocco never got that much time (and I don't think he should have).
  9. Mike Sixel
    Right? if the best manager was worth 10 wins over the average one, he'd get 10 million a year w/o an eyeblink. Teams (and manager agents) don't think they make that big a difference or they'd get more money.
  10. Mike Sixel
    You might not want to look at league wide stats..... because you just eliminated the majority of MLB players.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I think it was the tone, not the statement.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I mean, you and I likely agree on this, not sure the Pohlads do. We'll find out!
  13. Mike Sixel
    Plans change. I think we are looking at a small payroll next year.
  14. Mike Sixel
    If only Molitor did a few other things differently.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I agree no manager could win with this year's roster.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    This. I love how Falvey is taking "personal responsibility" by firing the guy he just extended...... In any event, not one young position player (Jeffers?) has really gotten better or stayed good under Rocco. I don't know if that's him or what, but the evidence seems pretty clear at this point. And I actually kind of like Rocco (and he gets a lot of hatred/dislike here over things every other ML manager does, every day).
  17. Mike Sixel
    I am letting Trevor be judged by performance.....it's not good. (I agree with your last point). Larnach is 100% a PH next year, unless Wallner and Martin are gone. They are both better than him, by performance, and cheaper. I guess Larnach could be the starting DH? I guess?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention Vazquez, who catches.....not that I like him, but there are a few hundred more ABs. But quibbling over 200 or 1000 or 2000 isn't important to me. It's that he's not good, has never been good other than 1 month, and he's likely the starting 1B next year. I hope he explodes in a good way....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Martin outhit him, outran him, and out played him on D. I can't see keeping a $5mm guy around as a pinch hitter. That's the sticking point for me. He's not likely a starter next year, I'd rather that money go to a C or SS or 1B or 1-2 RPs. He's exactly the kind of guy you've railed against signing for the last three years.
  20. Mike Sixel
    agreed on all 3. Other than the SB....no idea, and a lot of luck is needed.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Kepler put up 3x as much fWAR as Larnach....and people want to keep Trevor.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Terrifying. Truly.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Larnach put up 0.2 fWAR this year. I hope that's not "solid" in the FO's mind.
  24. Mike Sixel
    In five partial MLB seasons, he has one over 0.7 fWAR. One (he has really only been full time the last two years). This year he put up 0.2 fWAR. I can't see why they'd pay him to to do that when they have others available. We agree on a lot, especially not letting him play against lefties before....but we definitely disagree here. They aren't winning squat with him a regular, IMO.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Want to echo the thanks for these, Nick. Wasn't always fun, I'd guess, but I appreciate the work!
