    great.

    We ended up in a suburb for the first year, renting, while we try to figure out some things. Haven't made it downtown yet, other than to get the younger son off the Train from Seattle. But, my wife has previously visited the food truck block, looking forward to it.

    That was funny.....but I did put it in there to see who'd take the bait.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Ya, all of a sudden ND becomes really cool and interesting out there.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Is it actually possible they could have more sweeps against them than wins in 2 series? Has that ever happened other than 2-3 series in?

    Mid 70s and sunny, with no bugs or humidity....... Other than that, it is a lot like MN, sleep, go to work, try to buy furniture, eat out......someday I'll actually see the Oregon part of Oregon...... We did manage to hit Theodore Roosevelt and Yellowstone National Parks on the way out. TR is a vastly under rated park....

    I am getting ads for "London Style".....I am assuming that is not a good choice by adserv...... They were loading very slowly on vikingsjournal, so I left...
  8. Mike Sixel
    I am up for this.

    I figured he'd hit ok, not great, but ok. I figured he was an above average corner defender (not as good as last year, but good). Apparently, only watching the games on line, and not actually SEEING players is not the best way to scout.......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Why not? Being in a pitchers' league doesn't matter if your results are based on strikeouts and ground outs........
  11. Mike Sixel
    How about if a manager consistently makes decisions that over time are bad, according to the math? Then can we criticize him?

    I have no issue with the Mauer deal. It pretty much had to be done from a PR perspective, and from a profitability perspective, and almost from a baseball perspective. The only mistake was keeping him at catcher too long, imo. That deal is why TF exists, so you can sign your stars and keep them. He was on a HOF path.......I just don't get how people question the deal. Could they have spent 3MM a year less? Maybe. His money is not keeping them from winning......it just isn't.

    This is not consistent with what we've heard quoted about mid-season call ups for teams that play in split seasons, or with comments on other teams near the ends of years. We have heard several times that the minor league playoffs matter. From Seth quoting the Twins......so, ya, I don't think we'll agree on this. And no, I can't find links from previous years with those quotes, I don't go around saving stuff for fun..... As for the high A staff.....how long would you wait to promote Gonsalves? How many more starts? What is the he learning right now, by completely dominating and not having to adjust?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Three days after Molitor is gone, I'd guess.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I think a lot less trades happen than people think......and has any team traded 3-5 players mid year? I doubt it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    We won't agree on this. If he hits like this, I'd promote him at the half way point. But then, I tend to want to push prospects and challenge them more than others here do.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I think I would too......but I just don't get it.
  18. Mike Sixel
    On Suzuki, have you looked at all the catchers that changed teams in the last two years, or just assumed no one better was available? Because, I think if you did, you'd find that plenty of catchers have changed teams in the last 2 off seasons that have been better than Suzuki. Not great, but better.
  19. Mike Sixel
    No one, I don't think, has said firing Molitor will fix things........but that doesn't mean that Molitor is not part of the problem. Sending Rosario down won't fix things, does that mean it shouldn't be done?
  20. Mike Sixel
    I do agree, I like Hughes as a person, from what little we can actually see from the outside.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I endorsed the move, but I'm not sure why I did.......Normally I'd want them to wait until there was 1 year left, but like the post above states, there were reasons to like the deal. As for now? He either needs to be shut down, and see a doctor, or needs to move to the bullpen. You can't have a SP that has shoulder fatigue after 70 pitches. It's not good for the team, and more importantly, not good for him as a person.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I had seriously high hopes for May......... Still waiting for some return on those two trades.......
  23. Mike Sixel
    Molitor? Use a rookie out of the bullpen as closer? Uh, have you watched this season and last?
  24. Mike Sixel
    If your GM gives you Danny Santana, Eddie Rosario, and Miguel Sano as your OF choices........ouch. Seriously, those first two have to be near worst every day players in baseball.......So, while I don't love the manager, I put this mostly on the GM.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Also, how is Pat Dean on the roster, but not Tommy Milone? Also, congrats to Rogers. He should be a LOOGY, imo, but he'll get more than that chance for a few days probably.
