    Ya, there was a lot of bragging at the beginning of the year, about how the Astros were not good, and "see, it takes more time than you say".....meanwhile the Cubs and Astros continue to win....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Dang....good luck Mr. Hughes.

    The one year I coached t ball..... My youngest would run in from right field and field grounders hit too third.
  4. Mike Sixel
    As KLAW points out....it is too bad Kepler never played in it.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Not sure if any of them are good, or not. I like some of them as prospects, but they Twins have received very little in terms of MLB production from the international world in the last 20 years, I think. I could clearly be missing someone they signed out of Latin America in that time that helped the MLB team. My bad on Arcia, I thought he was drafted out of PR.....I missed him for sure.

    Right, we don't know the context of any individual decision......nor are we in the clubhouse. I get all that, and agree. My lens is clearly looking thru my belief the FO has largely failed lately, so I question every move. I get that's a weakness in my ability to be objective right now.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I might have to read the books again......though I don't think I own them anymore.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Thanks, it is great to get these scouting views, since none of us get to see them live. Appreciate it.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Ok, you've convinced me, Syrio is dead.
  10. Mike Sixel
    is the international pipeline good? Putting aside 1 year, where they broke the bank, what has it delivered? I honestly don't know......but I see Sano, Kepler, Polanco, all brought in for REAL money, in 1 year. I admit, there may be others, I don't know the answer, hence the question.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I think the Twins win tonight. By a lot.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Which is why I hold out the tiniest hope the Blackfish is alive* *not really, I like to delude myself sometimes.
  13. Mike Sixel
    got it, thanks,
  14. Mike Sixel
    That last part, about the promise, is the first time I've read something that makes me believe this theory......the question is, why did he want to help the Starks in the first place (no matter who he is/was).
  15. Mike Sixel
    In fairness....the question was about Ryan and Molitor, not the whole org.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea what Jacqen's game is. It's very confusing to me, frankly.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure the winter meetings matter all that much, to this team..... they have few assets to deal, and the FA class stinks. I'd want any new FO to be collecting every bit of data on this current roster, and on the minor league rosters.....and working on hiring the best manager he/she can.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I think, if you go into the year with this FO, you probably leave the year with this FO. I'm not sure how you replace the whole FO at this point in the process. Nor do I think replacing just Ryan is a good idea......but, maybe it is. It MIGHT give the new GM a chance to assess the current personnel......I just don't see it as likely at all. As for Molitor.....despite appeals to authority by some here, being a HoF player does not mean you will be a good manager. Those are two different skills. IMO, hiring someone to lead an organization, who has no previous such experience, generally turns out badly. IMO, we are seeing that now. I would not have an issue with Molitor being gone, but that's probably because I would not have put him in a managerial role w/o experience in the first place.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Unlikely, I think we nearly all agree on that. Just like we all agree we want the Twins to be good again. Just like we all agree we remain excited about Sano. I'm sure there are other things too, probably how we feel about Nolasco.....probably lots people here agree on.
  20. Mike Sixel
    that's how I heard it also..... Was it you that said, why does anyone outside KL care who sits the throne? Right now, I think that is a good question, frankly. If I was in the 'game", I'd be sacking Lannister homelands, and let the capital rot. I don't think the North even wants to be in the same kingdom as the south.....does Dorne really want that? I'd probably pull a Nexit at this point, if I was the North....
  21. Mike Sixel
    we now judge players on 1 appearance?
  22. Mike Sixel
    There is a lot here, but the one I want to ask about is......why was him staying and Park going to AAA not an option, or am I reading your post incorrectly?
  23. Mike Sixel
    the guy who three shows ago basically said he'd kill everyone so he could be with the woman he loved? That guy?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Hmmmmm.....I hadn't really thought they needed a reason. But, if they were literally created and imprinted with the idea that "man is evil, and must be destroyed"....that's probably enough for me.
  25. Mike Sixel
    He didn't start baseball full time until 2+ years ago. I think any time before next year is too soon to make any type of "conclusion" on him, though I always felt this year would be a good indicator. He's 21+ and in AA and not being awful......I'm good with his progress at this point. Others may not be.
