    And the Twins have none to trade. Thank goodness they held onto Perkins though.....

    I stand with Ronald Reagan on this. People don't need "machine guns". it is reasonable to pass laws restricting ownership of certain weapons, and for certain people. He signed several......he also lobbied on behalf of the "brady bill", correct?
  3. Mike Sixel
    And, since he was likely hurt in MN, would be the right thing to do.

    Ryan is in charge. If he didn't want Chargois up, he should not have brought him up. If there are 40 man issues, well, that's on Ryan. And, there is chaffe....they could have found a better way to handle this.

    Terry is in charge, if he didn't want Chargois up, he should not have called him up. He's a grown up. He's the decision maker. No one made him call up Chargois. If there are 40 man issues, well, who is that on, exactly, if not Ryan?

    Oh, it's really me.* I just think that while the FO has completely failed, and isn't qualified anymore to have their jobs, that there is a plan. It just isn't working** *so I say **maybe it is, maybe they are really on a 7 year plan, and just haven't admitted it.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Have any questions been answered, that will effect next year? Polanco? Arcia? Sano in RF? Others?
  8. Mike Sixel
    I want the team to stop playing with 23 or 24 people. How they resolve that? That's up to them. They are playing the same game with Polanco....he'll be in this boat, with even less ABs, next year. It happened with Gomez. Tonkin. Not sure who else...

    Are you reading that he basically claimed allegiance to multiple groups, most of whom are enemies? Do people really think this isn't about hate of gays, and is an attack more on the US as a whole? Are people really that self centered? This was an attack on gay people. That it happened here makes it also an attack on the US, but let's be honest with each other here. This was about hate. From what I have seen, it may have been self hate. Also from what I have seen, multiple people failed to do their duty, and let the authorities know about his hatred and plans. Those people are culpable also.

    Van, or Bark..... Now that the site has devolved into really getting on the FO.....I find myself actually defending them some now. I am uncomfortable defending people that I think are largely not doing a good job, but I also think it is unfair to say they have no plan, or no idea what they are doing, or whatever......should I just not come to this part of Twins Daily anymore?
  11. Mike Sixel
    by that you mean, add more places for adults to drink, right? Because the plan is NOT to improve the family experience.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Rotate guys, so they each play at least three times a week? The question remains, why is Arcia on the roster if they won't play him? that's the question......
  13. Mike Sixel
    Well, there is an entire page on how the Twins promote slowly in the low minors, then quickly thru the upper minors. This is the opposite of some other teams that seem to be more successful lately than the Twins. Also, there are differences between elite prospects, and what the timeline should be for them, and for normal prospects (and HS vs college). When discussing specific players, or even the process, it's almost like, I don't know, lots of things are taken out of context......
  14. Mike Sixel
    The courage comes in for teams that did not intentionally take on a bad contract, but now have one, say, I don't know, Ricky Nolasco...... I am 100% NOT talking about when a team planned to have a bad contract, but what happens when they do have one. Teams, frankly, are afraid to cut those guys and replace them with potentially better guys.
  15. Mike Sixel
    the way the Twins start college players is one of the things KLAW has been critical of, in terms of how they start them against much lesser competition.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think that is unfair, but I understand why some think that is the plan.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I do. I don't know what it is, but yes, they have a plan. It isn't working.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I am not arguing his present or future. I just don't get the plan at all.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Is Breinne going to have to kill Jamie at some point, do we think?
  20. Mike Sixel
    He NEVER plays.....how can he get hot? That's the question..... They don't want to play him. They have not released him. They can't send him to the minors (probably someone would claim him, I would). I'm trying to discern the clear plan for him at this point. The only thing I can come up with is contingency if Buxton and Kepler aren't ready to stay up here, so they are basically playing with a 24 man roster (just like last year).
  21. Mike Sixel
    I used to care what Apple said, as a consumer.....now I'm a shareholder, and I really wish they'd say something, anything....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Belief....rather than science.
  23. Mike Sixel
    They clearly have no interest in him playing, do they? I mean, two of their three "starting" OF are on the DL, and he still never plays. Why do they fear losing him, if they refuse to play him at all? My theory is they will send Buxton and Kepler down again this year, so they are keeping him around for that timeframe. But then, why not just send Kepler down now, and let Arcia play? is there a clear plan to get VALUE out of Arcia?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Ha, no really, I knew it was coming. Not an issue at all. I suppose next you'll tell me a major character dies...... Do people think the Stark matriarch is returning? btw, somehow, the Arya stuff makes the three eyed rave stuff look exciting......whomever is writing the Arya parts does not have a good grasp of what the audience wants to see, imo.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I just can't go here yet.....but since I read the thread during a boring meeting, ugh. All I got is .... ugh.
