    KLAW had a recent insider piece, stating that teams are NOT using September call ups to assess minor leaguers, or to give them "get acquainted" time anymore (mostly). There are several reasons...... Now, the Twins don't necessarily follow the rest of the trends..... What I'd do: Garver in MN (needs to be added to 40 man) Milone in MN (they need a long man, either him or Albers) Not sure who else needs to be added to the 40 man, honestly

    he is on the team. This is the roster. The question was.....how would you do the order, if not Dozier hitting first. As for your Mauer statement, I hope you aren't serious.
  3. Mike Sixel
    That was a terrible pass, Nelson would have tackled short anyway. That play was not on him...
  4. Mike Sixel
    Nope......but at least it makes sense. IMO.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Uh, vacation time, uh, right. Good point....

    There is a nice Fangraphs article on "using your best pitch more often" today....and which pitchers should consider that change. Apparently, baseball is just figuring out that if you have a "secondary" pitch that is much better than a FB, you should maybe throw that more often....
  7. Mike Sixel
    so they get less ABs? That seems backward to me. Give your two better hitters 1 less AB a game, so that 1 player can "feel happy"?
  8. Mike Sixel
    It certainly raises some serious questions.

    Polanco Mauer Sano Dozier Kepler Plouffe Rosario C LF that wasn't so hard.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    What year?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I think people can improve their leadership....but you don't make someone an SVP before he's even been a mid-level manager.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    That has nothing to do with the point, that they want to eliminate any controls on pollution......does anyone think big companies give a poop about that stuff, at least the ones that actually generate a lot of pollution? You don't think coal would be worse? The Koch brothers wouldn't just pollute the crap out of the world, and spray more toxins on food, because they can? Just look at pharma companies, and their price increases, because they can, and they are only accountable to shareholders.

    Is there any evidence this is true at all? Hughes isn't coming back next year, you can't count on any innings from him at all. If you get some, it is luck/gravy. They are on a 100 loss pace, the FO needs to be realistic, this team is not a playoff team next year.
  14. Mike Sixel
    That's kind of a short rebuttal...... You don't agree that this management team seems to prefer bad veterans from other teams over young players from their own system? It sort of appears that way sometimes.
  15. Mike Sixel
    A trade is like physical therapy.....it hurts like a #$^@$#^, but it makes the recovery so much more effective and swift.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Well, you should probably not hire someone to be a manager who has zero experience in the first place...... My issues with Molitor are these: 1. The fundamentals are brutal. If he and the coaches can't improve that, then why bother having coaches at all? 2. The bullpen usage seems off to me. 3. Sacrifice bunting before inning 8......just plain bad strategy. 4. His love of Danny Santana, who plays more than any other 25th man in the history of the game. 4a. His apparent disdain for other young players in their first taste of the majors. 5. I don't see growth. All of the issues you see that you didn't like last year? They are still there this year.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Well, given the inability of Berrios, Buxton, Duffey and other young players, and given the dearth of FA talent available....I see a zero percent chance this team is in the playoffs next year. I'd trade him. For sure. Bad teams need to trade their old, good, players for younger players. It's the only way to speed up the rebuild. The key is not trading for May, Meyer, but for Arrieta.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I just want him in MN in September.....though KLAW just wrote a long piece on how teams DON'T use September for most prospect call ups anymore, to save service time and because they are calling them up earlier in their careers to use them.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Well. Gary can't say..... I will eliminate medicare and medicade, get rid of laws that keep companies from forcing you to work overtime, and allow everyone to pollute the water and air like we all live in flint....

    Plucky...hahahaha. http://beergraphs.com/bg/1023-stats-from-my-chat-beer-recommendations/

    Vikings. There are few times you expect the twins to be good, and get your hopes crushed. The Vikings can be great, over and over, and just crush our spirits. Not even close.
  22. Mike Sixel
    So, this guy comes up and plays every game. Where was this treatment early in the year with young guys? I do not understand the team.
  23. Mike Sixel
    So, if you criticize the twins, in an awful season, you must also post positive things, or your statements are bad? Does the opposite apply? If you say good things are you also required to say bad things? This entire thread is filled with ad hominen attacks. Pretty pathetic. You want good news posted? Post it.
  24. Mike Sixel
    There are not 40 decent, let alone good, players to worry about. Not close.
  25. Mike Sixel
    That was a great intro. Seriously.
